The South Florida Bulls aren’t making headlines like they did a few years back when it was due to winning games. So Coach Levitt decided to take things into his own hands… literally.
University of South Florida coach Jim Leavitt grabbed a player by the throat then struck him twice in the face during halftime of the Bulls’ Nov. 21 game with Louisville, the player’s father, his high school coach and five members of USF’s football program told FanHouse.
Personally, I’d need to know how hard the slap was before passing judgment. Was it a love tap or essentially a punch? Either way, he’s a football player! This guy gets hit all the time! Continue Reading »
It looks as though we have another former player joining the booth as a studio analyst:
Former Hornets coach Byron Scott is rejoining ESPN as an NBA analyst. Scott was fired last month after more than five seasons in New Orleans. He coached the New Jersey Nets from 2000-04, leading them to two NBA finals appearances. Scott previously worked as an ESPN analyst during the 2003-04 season. He won three NBA championships as a player with the Lakers.
So that got me thinking. While plenty of NBA players return to the league as assistants or even make their way up in the ranks to becoming head coaches, do that many turn to commentating or being studio analysts? Not really.
So I decided to recognize five guys who I think have done it quite well. By the way if any of you like Reggie Miller or Cheryl Miller please don’t ever come back to this site.

So I used to think I could be a UFC fighter… Then I watched that video.

OK, is Lebron becoming more of a clown like each week? Granted the man is a basketball machine and scored 44 last night’s win over the Thunder but come on.
First it’s dancing a little jig and now it’s stealing fries from some fan in the stands? Um, if anyone wants to talk about racial profiling then now might be a good time to chime in.
I’m just saying. Stealing food and doing funny dances? Chris Rock would have a field day with this but I’m a white dude so I probably shouldn’t go on any further.
This video is a bad way to promote the FCS Title game this Friday night, but that’s what this article is all about. Obviously, we’re not talking the ability levels of ‘Bama and Texas here, but these guys aren’t a bunch of chumps. There have been several successful professional players (Brian Westbrook, Joe Flacco) who have come out of the FCS. Let’s face it, talent is talent, and just because these guys go to smaller schools doesn’t mean they can’t play. Our first order of business is to get rid of the stereotype that the FCS is backyard football that you or I could step in as quarterback. Lineman tip the scales at 300 lbs, and receivers and returners can burn up 40 times just like the primetime boys. You will see guys in this game playing at the next level mark my words.
The game takes place this Friday at 8 pm in Chatanooga, TN. Don’t let the location throw you off. Villanova has beaten Holy Cross, New Hampshire, and then William & Mary in the semifinals (they have playoffs, oh by the way) to reach the championship. The Grizzlies from the University of Montana have taken out South Dakota State, Stephen F. Austin, and Appalachian State in the semis for a date with Nova. Yes, that is the same Appalachian State that beat Michigan a couple years back. This year Villanova, who is 13-1, has beaten Temple, who you can see play in the EagleBank Bowl vs. UCLA. And just in case no one is convinced yet, the Associated Press, who are smarter than me, saw fit to give Montana some Top 25 votes. Top 25 votes in the same poll as Texas, Florida, etc.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying these teams would run table if they were in a powerhouse conference. What I am saying is they shouldn’t be underestimated because they could give some well known schools a run for their money. They don’t have the big stadium or big bucks, but I promise you if you are bored Friday you will not be disappointed by the Football game you see. I obviously didn’t help my cause by leading in with this video, but hey when you’re an idiot you’re going to get exposed regardless of what Division.
Ariza was 0 for 9 when he threw an elbow at DeMar DeRozan, so he must have been pretty frustrated. There’s no doubt he’ll be suspended at least a game for his actions, but maybe DeMar DeRozan should get suspended, too, for having such a stupid name.
DeMar DeRozan? That just sounds DeIdiotic. I know a couple dudes named DeMar: my dermatologist and a chemistry professor I had in college.
As minutes go by, it’s seeming more likely that USC’s Stafon Johnson will be going pro, the decision coming after a season ending weight lifting injury to the throat. Since I have so much power in the sports world, I thought I’d post a highlight reel of the games Johnson did play in throughout the 2009 season to remind NFL folks why they should give him a look.
Mr. Johnson, upon draft day you may thank me via a check.

I’m sure when sports fans think of the greats rivalries out there, they immediately go to Xavier and Cincinnati.
No? Well perhaps after yesterday’s double overtime classic, it’ll work it’s way back to the spotlight.
Two technicals. Two overtimes. Sharp elbows and even sharper tongues. A senior making the winning play at the end.
When the buzzer sounded, it was already a classic.
Normally I hate it when writers call a game a classic the minute it’s over. There have been so many close, double overtime games that it seems a bit foolish to look at one recent game and say, “yep, this was one of the best!” But they’re actually right this time. Continue Reading »
