    RIP Don Gullett

    A big part of the Big Red Machine of the 1970's. Though the 8 players in the field garnered almost all the attention, Gullett was one tough lefty. Man I am old!

    Mark Cuban selling Mavs

    I find this interesting. I know Cubes loves hoops and owning the Mavs but am wondering if he thinks values have topped out? I say that b/c he sold Broadcast.com to Yahoo at the top of the tech bubble and even noted he thought it was a bubble. He received Yahoo stock for the sale and...

    RIP Alan Arkin

    For anyone who did not see the original In Laws movie, I highly recommend it. A classic and Arkin was great. RIP.

    Jeff Demps vs Chris Rainey vs Percy Harvin

    Running is Pajamas and running in pads are two different things. Track speed does not always translate. Does not mean they were slow on the field but both Demps and Rainey put Percy Harvin(s) away in PJ's. With pads on, Percy was faster than both of them.

    Bama Fires Baseball Coach over Betting Scandal

    Read about this story the other day but I guess they fired the coach today. Still have not said how he was involved if at all. Bet was made on LSU so did he send up a PH who was blind or something to lose on purpose...

    RIP Jerry Springer

    Guess most will remember Jerry Springer for his ridiculous TV show. I however will remember him for writing a personal check to a hooker for her services while he was the Mayor of Cincinnati OH.

    Nobel Prize in Economics

    It was just announced that one of this year's winners on the Nobel Prize for Economics is the The Ben Ber-Nank. In honor of this award I attach a video from the GFC and what was a good explanation of the FED during those times. Much of it can be applied to today, but in honor of The Ben...

    Wisky fires Chryst, promotes Leonhard

    https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/34714751/wisconsin-fires-football-coach-paul-chryst-sources-say Gotta say I found this a bit surprising, but I am guessing losing by 20+ at home to Burp, your former HC, did not sit well.

    LSU fires Will Wade

    The only worse coach in the SEC than Mike just got sent to the curb as the Coon Azzes can Will Wade. He did less with more than any coach in the SEC the past 4 or so years.

    Texas Tech fires head coach

    Well it is one thing for the WSU HC to be fired as a state employee over the vaccine status, but kudos to TTech for being proactive and whacking their coach today 30 games into his tenure. And I was under the impression that TTech had little to no expectations and were fine with mediocrity. I...

    RIP Sam "Bam" Cunningham

    Without him running roughshod over Bear Bryant and Alabama in Alabama, Paul Bryant might not have been such a mighty "Bear" and Alabama may never have become Bama. RIP Sam.

    Coach K to retire after season...

    and a surprise HC in waiting is asst. coach Jon Scheyer. Played at Duke under coach K out of high school in north suburb of Chicago. Very surprising IMO as Scheyer has never been a head coach and also risky me thinks. With Brad Stevens bumping up to Celtics Prez as he said coaching had taken...

    IU whacks Archie Miller

    So where does Indiana go from here? There last 2 hires have been from coaches who had great success at smaller schools (Crean at Marquette and Miller at Dayton), but have not translated to success at IU. So when Crean was canned those delusional fans at IU were convinced they were going to...

    How does Sean Miller still have a job?

    Turning to a little college hoops, more stories and accusations against Sean Miller. I mean where there's smoke, there's fire. As of now, everything around Sean Miller has burned completely down. The University of Arizona has been charged with nine alleged rules violations, including five...

    RIP Jerry Sloan

    One of the greatest NBA coaches. yes I know no rings, but some impressive numbers Even when Stockton/Malone departed his teams were well coached and very competitive. He along with Pop seem to be able to find ways to use guys who would not have made some team's rosters. Always enjoyed the...
