I changed my mind

Bobby Petrino
Made a "mistake" by taking the Falcons job and millions of dollars from Aurther Blank. WOW! Now he goes back to collage, the SEC, and takes over an Arkansas job that should be loaded for the next several years. Next year the SEC is the conference to watch. Let's see how Bobby B does in the recruiting stages of his new career over the next several months.

I had this conversation last night at the gym. When do you know a collage coach will always be a collage coach? Pete Carroll did the right thing by staying at USC a few years ago after he won the national championship and every NFL team was after him. He know he could never make it in the pro's (Just look at his pro record, not good.) I think it is something like once a collage coach, always a collage coach. (The just do not do well moving up the ranks. I do not care how good the money is.)

Speaking of collage coaches
The Les Miles rumors of him going to Michigan will not stop. And why should they? HE CALLED MICHIGAN TWICE IN THE LAST MONTH!
Les is a Michigan alum. A Michigan supporter, and an avid fan. The LSU job is the right place for him but his loyalty, fan pressure, and the Michigan Ad may move him to take the job. He did sign and extension with LSU but there is a clause in there that will let him opt out to take the Michigan job. I think this is a dome deal after the bowl game is done.

Mitchell report
The MLB get a sneak peek at the report today.
I bet it is only once sentence.
"Yup, you got a steroid problem".

Cubs get FU
That's Kosuke Fukudome
(Someone tell me how to pronounce his last name right. I am dying to start the limerick process)
Some off the top of my head
K-FUK ?
Sorry, i can not do the rest. Too unclean even for me.

T.J. Ford
Took a nasty spill last night during the Raptors game and left on a stretcher. Normally that fall would not have effected a normal player that way. But TJ had two of he vertebrae fused 3 years ago. Last word i heard was he had movement in all of his extremities.

I really hate the weather.
Not so much in Connecticut but in the midwest. This ice storm is really screwing up my buisnees here in Connecticut. The ice storm stopped the truck and of course stopped any shipment coming into Connecticut. Do we have trucks with ice scates on them yet? There has to be a better way.

PATS / JETS
Did you see the line in Vegas was 27 points? Jim Rosse who announces the WWE Monday night raw broadcast use to say about Stone Cold Steve Austin that he was about to "stop a mud hole in his opponent and walk it dry".
I think that is probably appropriate for what is about to happen to the Jets. Anyone got tickets for this public Lynching?
With the game expected top be as big a blow out as everyone is saying expect the T.V. ratings to be threw the roof. (almost like of they sold pay-per-view subscriptions for a public execution. Everyone would be agents it but 90% of them would watch.

More later.
