Lying Les?

December 11, 2007 by stonecoldjz

Les Miles to Michigan

Roughly two weeks ago we predicted Les Miles to Michigan as their head coach and Bo Pelini to Nebraska. We were correct about Bo, but it seemed after a press conference by Miles called hours before the SEC Championship along with signing a contract extension with LSU that ole Les would remain as the head coach of LSU. This morning comes a news report from the Detroit Free Press that Miles spoke to Michigan this past weekend which seems quite Sabanesque. Don’t count Miles out quite yet to be in the maize and blue next year!

Michael Vick Done as NFL Quarterback

Michael Vick sentenced

The sentencing came down today for Michael Vick and the formidable Judge Henry Hudson sentenced Vick to 23 months in federal prison. This is five months longer than most experts predicted Vick would receive, but I think the fact he failed a drug test and the Judge is very stern led to the longer stay in the pen. Even if Vick gets off for good behavior I find it highly unlikely ‘Ron Mexico’ would be playing again in the NFL before the 2010 season. Let’s say all the cards fell right and Vick was allowed back in the NFL in ’09 that still puts him over two years away from the game. Two years is entirely too long for a quarterback to be away from the NFL and still be successful in my opinion. Yes he is a tremendous athlete, but the game will have passed him by in respect to knowledge and skills so do not plan to see Vick ever again as a full-time quarterback. Could he play as a third down back or a slot receiver? That will be his only possibility and even then does a NFL franchise want the distraction Vick will bring if he returns. All in all this really is a shame, but Michael made this bed and now Michael must sleep in it.

Brian Billick Kisses the Game Away

December 4, 2007 by stonecoldjz

Well, everything that could fall right last night in the fourth quarter did for the New England Patriots so now they stand at 12-0 for the season. The Ravens made serious coaching mistakes and failed to stop the Patriots on several fourth downs in the fourth quarter which led to their demise. It was almost symbolic when Brian Billick blew a kiss to Rodney Harrison late in the game because things went down hill after the stupid move. Billick’s arrogance has been well documented throughout the years and should lead to him receiving a pink slip at the end of this season. Check out the video clip below of Brian Billick blowing his kiss.

Baltimore Ravens

I am exactly 30 football minutes away from becoming a huge Baltimore Ravens fan. It is 10-10 at half and the Ravens have Brady looking a bit shaky. Can the Ravens shock the nation and break the Patriots perfect season on Monday Night Football??

Lions Languish

Detroit Lions

It appears John Kitnaâ€™s prediction won’t come true after all. The Detroit Lions are back to their normal lackluster selves after losing their fourth straight yesterday in ugly fashion to the Minnesota Vikings. Not only have they stunk recently, but now word comes that they have lost their best receiver Roy Williams for the remainder of the year due to a knee injury. I really thought you had a chance at 10 wins Mr. Kitna when you were 6-2, but I think now it will be interesting to see if you can get 7 wins before the end of the year.

Picture Perfect

Colt Brennan

The Hawaii Warriors finished out their perfect season last night at home against the Washington Huskies. The Warriors were down 21-0 in the second quarter, but Colt Brennan completed 42-50 passses for 442 yards with four TD’s to earn a 28-21 victory. The 12-0 Warriors deserve a BCS bid because they are very similar to the exciting Boise State Broncos from last year.
