This year's addition of the critically acclaimed Hard Knocks training camp series will feature the New York Jets and their renegade coach Rex Ryan. I enjoy Ryan and think his attitude is perfect for that media outlet and the league in general. Mark Sanchez is the real deal and the team is solid in all areas. They need to get Revis signed and happy and everything will be alright. I'm still not happy that Thomas Jones wasn't in their plans because Thomas is a good man and deserved a better fate than Kansas City. I believe this is a legit Super Bowl contender and Sanchez is gonna pull a Namath....minus the Suzy Kolber interview!
Friday Night Lights is by far one of the best shows on television and next week is the season finale. I really hope that NBC picks up the show for at least one more season but I hear rumblings that this may be the last show.....if it is I certainly hope East Dillon whoops West Dillon's a** this week!!

Sports agents, paying student athletes, and Vandy's new football coach..
The agent epidemic has officially derailed all the excitement of the upcoming football season. There is no reason for this madness, the NCAA should get with the coaches association and workout an agreement to bring the agents together with the student athletes in a controlled and monitored environment. This is a win win situation and seriously needs to be explored. Whatever the move it must be done quickly to minimize the damage before the first game is played so the money can be made........
Speaking of money, would it be so bad to give the student athletes a buck here or there. The scholarship is the ultimate prize, but a few bucks for the weekends off of jersey sales and such could be kicked their way. Let's be honest about this, a serious profit is made and I do believe this may have a positive impact and begin to limit the number of off the field incidents that plague many campuses right now. Think about it and it does make sense!!
This week during SEC Media Day the nation was introduced to Vandy's new head coach, Robbie Caldwell. This guy is right out of central casting for a SEC coach, the southern roots, twang, and charming laid back demeanor. He is a gem, a sportswriters dream, and I truly hope he is successful because outwardly he is the type of man that's easy to root for. If he can win 6 games and get to a bowl I sure as heck hope I'm lucky enough to see his press conference!!

It's been a while....but I'm back!!
The job change is official, I'm back with a vengeance, and the world has been waiting for my rebirth! Now that we're on the same page.....the world of sports awaits!
LeBron and Miami are a great fit. The people of Cleveland are upset and I understand that. The harsh truth though is that this is a business and the world can be a very cruel and cold place. Try and remember the good things he did and don't focus on where he is now. If you're bitter you're going to miss out on life.....King James still loves you Ohio and he always will. Don't turn your backs on him......that's something a Michigan Wolverine would do!!
NCAA Football 2011 is as good as advertised. I still haven't played a down yet while entering all of my players names correctly but I can tell it kicks A$$!! Tim Tebow on the cover is fine by me, he didn't take bribes from an agent......Butch Davis can you hear me......better brace for the investigation!
Who won the British Open? Oh that Louie guy.......hmm.......golf is in trouble right now!! Paging the top 10 in the World Rankings.....WAKE UP!!!

Fantasy Football just around the corner, Miami Heat basketball, and the recruiting of David Whitmire
Fantasy football season is just around the corner! I'll be sending out invitations in just a matter of days to this year's Water Dept. league. I've devised a different strategy this year, no magazines, no outside opinions, just what my gut tells me. I figure this way I can let the losers who never beat me have a decent shot of hanging with me.......we shall see. First pick this year is gonna be easy!! :)
The Miami Heat are going to sign both D-Wade and Chris Bosh as early as tomorrow. There are heavy rumors that King James will announce tomorrow night that he is joining those two down in Miami. Should that occur then you can go ahead and engrave the Championship Trophy for the next 4 years.....they will roll!! By the way, Pat Riley will NOT be the head coach, just watch and see!
Hampton High quarterback David Whitmire will be making his college choice soon and the rumors are that he will choose between the Commonwealth's top two schools, VT and UVA. VT seems to think he is a lock to join the orange and maroon............I have a different take, I believe David Whitmire wants to bring the same excitement and impact on the playing field that fellow 757 quarterback MVI brought to VT to The University of Virginia........Mike London has laid it out for you David, come on down to C-Ville and let's make a new 757 legacy!!

Only 10 days away from NCAA FOOTBALL 2011......The Building of a Program Show.....and where will LeBron end up?
In ten days I will be in line at Bestbuy at midnight to purchase NCAA Football 2011 for the Xbox 360, oh wait, I've already pre-ordered it and it will be delivered to me instead! You ready to take me on in this game, got the testicular fortitude to hang with me, well bring it!! You know who you are......
The new football show airing on Comcast that chronicles the UVA football program has really paid dividends. The recruiting has really picked up in the Commonwealth.....won't be long Frankie Beamer, won't be long!! Got a little something for you this year in Blacksburg to!!
LeBron James will end up in..............well......I'm just not sure!! Let's hope that Cleveland has a back-up plan, let's hope Chicago doesn't get D-Wade, and let's hope they both end up in MIAMI playing for Pat Riley!! ;)
