This has nothing to do with baseball (actually, it’s about college basketball and football), but it’s so funny, I wanted to link it up. The headline is “Cheering Fans, Thrilling NCAA Tournament Disgust BCS Officials”: DETROIT—Claiming that determining an unquestioned national champion through a playoff system “went against the very idea of sporting competition,” and that [...] Some quick hitters that don’t merit their own full post…. –Gary Sheffield is a Met, not a Red. That’s good news. –Congrats to Reds beat writer Mark Sheldon and his wife on the birth of a healthy baby boy. If you missed our talk with Mark on Redleg Nation Radio, go here to listen to it. He’s [...] (Ed. Bumped from Thursday at noon to today). The Madness starts today continues today. Feel free to discuss all the games here. (FYI, Xavier plays tomorrow night tonight at 7:25 pm.) Cincinnati is ranked fourth in the country…among America’s “Manliest” cities. Woo-hoo! I know this is a baseball blog, but I just had to ask: what’s wrong with the Bengals? 0-8? Getting crushed by the Texans? Ugly. What do you guys think? At least the Reds won a game this year! The Bengals may not. Anyone watching college football today? I’m heading to Charlottesville, VA, to watch the titanic struggle between the Virginia Cavaliers and the UNC Tar Holes. Some of you may be watching a more exciting college football game today, although I can’t imagine there are any more scintillating matchups than UVa-UNC. Feel free to use [...] I’m watching Virginia play Richmond on television right now, and the only reason I mention it is because a guy on Richmond’s team made a ferocious hit on one of the Cavaliers, knocking his helmet flying. When the camera zoomed in on him, one of the announcers noted that his father is Billy Hatcher, [...] (No, I don’t really love the Olympics; I don’t have any interest in them, at all. But that video clip cracks me up every single time.) I usually check in daily to CNNSI’s Extra Mustard Page to see what is going on in the blogosphere. Here is one that caught my eye from Friday’s listings. They’ve linked the top 25 Youtube clips relating to sports (excluding highlights). I love #3 and #5. I remember watching #3 at some point last year. During [...] From the “I’m too frustrated to discuss the 2008 Reds” file. Recently, I finished an excellent biography of Bear Bryant, the former University of Alabama football coach, titled “The Last Coach“. It was written by Allen Barra, and it was an excellent read. Anyway, I was knee deep in college football talk when I was surprised [...] Just wanted to wish a very happy 4th birthday to my son, Casey. He had a Reds-themed birthday party last night (at his request; maybe I’ll post some pictures sometime), and a good time was had by all. Depending on which day you ask him, Casey’s favorite player is either Brandon Phillips, Ken [...] Use this thread to discuss anything you want, on- or off-topic, including tonight’s All-Star festivities, specifically the Home Run Derby. I will be cheering on Josh Hamilton. A couple of other notes: –Jerry Hairston’s hamstring is a problem, and he was supposed to have an MRI today. I don’t know if that happened, but I do [...] Yes, this is an off-topic post. I just can’t bear to think about the Reds right now (even though the road trip just completed could have certainly gone worse). Recently, Rob Neyer (subscription required) posted his ranking of the best Pixar movies. In order, they were: 1. Ratatouille, 2. Toy Story 2, 3. Monsters, [...] What do you want to discuss today? Here’s a suggested topic: raise your hand if you think Jerry Hairston is a legitimate leadoff option for 2009. Or do you think he will return to being Jerry Hairston next year? Discuss…. |
