Fumbled

In an article written by Blog Critics  Magazine “The Critic”  Writes the following about college football recruiting..

“Amidst the drama are recruiting experts. If ever there were words not meant to go together it is recruiting and expert. Partisan, quick to anger if a recruit won’t talk to them; these experts feed at the bottom of the football ocean, eating the waste products of what is great about the college game.

Paid by various “services,” these football hookers whisper whatever their pimp tells them. Among those this humble scribe detests is Tom Luginbill, ESPN’s recruiting analyst. His self-written biography that appears as one of his articles, wherein he discusses the recruiting “wars” he endured, is hilarious as it offers a peek inside an ego that makes Ted Turner appear humble.”

This guy watches too many cartoons. Why don’t you tell scout.com that they are a bunch of idiots. Then you will have everyone laughing at you including all the pimps around the world! What’s up New York???!!

Check this out. Next time you see the Gatorade coolers on the sideline remember this;  Players drink 6,200 gallons of Gatorade during the course of one season. Amazing. Remember a few months back when the news came out about Gatorade rotting your teeth?

“The University of Iowa researchers covered extracted teeth with nail polish. They left bare two patches on each tooth, one on the enamel and one on the root. Then they dunked the teeth in test tubes filled with regular Coke, Diet Coke, Gatorade, Red Bull, or 100% apple juice. (more…)

In an article written by the associated press in April, they try to make it clear that college football recruiting blogs and websites are tremendous distractions to high-school athletes and staff.  The article quoted: 

“Despite their popularity, they are increasingly coming under attack by coaches and administrators who argue they heap too much attention on young, impressionable student-athletes.”

Bobby Burton, editor-in-chief for Rivals.com expressed the following: “All we’ve done is bring to light something that’s been going on forever.”

Mr. Fumbles says: “It is not the blogs and websites causing the problems, it is the ego of players, staff, and coaches that make way for troublesum situations”, “Just because your name is Michael Vick doesn’t mean you can do anything.” (more…)

The fact of the matter is college and pro football players need to behave! With the recent jerk-offs who have been in trouble, doing unspeakable things, college football and the NFL have begun to develop a black smudge over both organizations.

 We all know the Michael Vick Story, and recently (yesterday a story surfaced about the Rutgers Assistant Coach beating his girlfriend in a bar. Totally unacceptable behavior that could have erased if these people would use common sense.

These players and even coaches are fumbling the integrity of the game away.

The Oklahoma football program must forfeit its wins from the 2005 season and will lose two scholarships for the 2008-09 and 2009-10 school years. 

The penalties, announced Wednesday by the NCAA, stem from a case involving two players, including the Sooners’ starting quarterback, who were kicked off the team for being paid for work they had not performed at a Norman car dealership.

Should the NCAA be allowed to go back as far as 3 years ago and strip colleges of achievements? Was this necessary?

Former University of Miami coach Larry Coker has been hired by ESPNU to work this fall, at the network. ESPNU formally announced this on Thursday.Coker spent six seasons with Miami, going 60-15 and winning the 2001 national championship. He was fired last November, before Miami finished its 2006 campaign with a 7-6 record. You may remember all the beatings he took from players and fans throughout his last season at Miami. The signing of Coker to ESPNU will fire up all those blogs out there that wanted him fired from the team. And let me tell you: it will get ugly! Fanblog’s wrote an article 8 months ago explaining just how bad the Miami area wanted to see Coker go!

“The Fire Coker crowd took to the skies in force this weekend to call for the ousting of the Hurricanes head coach, hiring three planes to pull anti-Coker banners over the Orange Bowl during the Houston – Miami game. ”

The American League Continued its streak by beating the national league in 9 innings with a score of 5-4.

Overall the game was very well thought out by the media and Fox Sports, keeping the attention of sports fans through-out the entire game. Of course the home plate umpire getting beaned three times helped liven it up a bit. Bases were loaded with 2 outs in the bottom of 9th. Rodriquez made it interesting by walking two of those runners. Aaron Rowand flew out to deep right to end the game.

However, the NL needs to come up with a plan to quit fumbling the game away to the American League.  They have now lost 9 straight All-Star games. Pathetic!

Also, If you look at Interleague Play the American League Runs the show on that channel too!

Some focus the blame to the Mets hogging up the NL roster. Naaaa. It couldnt be those Mets.

MVP? Did you have to ask? Ichiro Suzuki capped off a 3-for-3 night with the first ever inside-the-park HR in the history of the All-Star Game. It was also Ichiro’s first ever inside the park homerun!

It’s real simple. Iverson found himself inside a scuffle at a bar. When his body guards took over Iverson significant other saw stars and money all at the same time. If this was a confrontation between to average people, there is no way in hell the court would award a quarter million dollars to the one of the persons involved in a barroom fight. The fact is the case should have been dismissed, both Iverson and the other party of 1 was at fault. This did even involve a game, a Quarter Million Dollars, NOT A GAME, A Quarter Million Dollars..

What do you think?

When the time comes to choose a college, like all big decisions, the best thing you can do to prepare yourself is ask questions. Is this really the place I want to spend the next four years of my life? Will I be able to represent this university to the best of my ability? What requirements must I meet to cheer on the collegiate level?

All star cheerleading is quickly becoming a world-renowned phenomenon. More and more all star programs are emerging every year and the talent level is through the roof. Not to mention the fact that the USASF Cheerleading Worlds, which highlights the best teams in all star cheerleading from all over the world, has become the ultimate all star competition.

If you’re like the majority of cheerleaders today who have only cheered for a competitive all star team, making the transition to college cheerleading can be a somewhat difficult task. While your potential college team’s style may be similar to what you’re used to as an all star, there is much more to it than you may think.

Brian Hoyer is on the old “see-food” diet this summer. If he sees it, he’s supposed to eat it. Hoyer said he’s gained “eight solid pounds” since spring practice ended in April. He’s trying to bulk up so he can take some big hits and not get injured when he becomes Michigan State’s starting quarterback this season.

“I’m trying to take in 6,000 calories a day,” said Hoyer, who was listed at 6-foot-2, 212 pounds during the spring. “It’s hard to keep up with eating that much food. You always feel like you’re stuffed.

“I have to try to eat every two hours. When I wake up in the morning, I try to eat a pretty big breakfast. After I lift, I’ll eat a protein bar or some fruit. After we run, I’ll have a pretty big lunch. I get a rotisserie chicken and eat the whole thing and some pasta. For dinner, I’ll have some pasta with fish or two chicken breasts. Before bed, I drink a protein shake.

Does this sound healthy? This is why College Althletes have health problems when they graduate. Is anyone concerned about his heart? Obviously he isnt.

In an article written by the New York Times:

The Yankees’ professionalism is under attack from core lieutenants Andy Pettitte and Jorge Posada. A scout who has watched the Yankees said one reason so many veteran position players lack urgency is that “there is no one in the minors threatening to take their job.” Wouldn’t it behoove the Yanks to make Alex Rodriguez available in a trade market craving power to see if someone makes that Herschel Walker-type overwhelming offer that can’t be refused? The Angels and Dodgers, for example, both need power, both are blessed with young talent and both would imagine themselves as champions if Rodriguez were batting cleanup.
