Who else read walk-off hit by pitch and immediately thought of Homer Simpson's softball exploits? |

"What is the downside of acknowledging that players have market value and allowing them to realize some of that value? There doesn't seem to be any." In the specific case of player likenesses re: video games, the downside is that the NCAA would have to share the money they get from the video game manufacturers with the players and they don't want to. In a more general sense, acknowledging that the players deserve to be compensated in any way would puncture the NCAA's arguments about preserving amateurism. |

I've been reading a lot of Bill James, and I realized that even though his prose style is completely different, I love him for the same reason I love DFW: intimidatingly intelligent, but at the same time abidingly human. |

We agree that Denard's interceptions aren't random right? I mean, when you lob it to a defender with no offensive players in the area, that results in an interception a lot of the time. Good quarterbacks don't do that. Denard does it a lot. |

I don't like USC at #1...their battle with Ohio State looked less like a clash of titans and more like two teams with a lot of holes struggling to find their footing. I'd take Florida against any team in the country if they played tomorrow. |

Not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere, but why are the quotes from the presser always paraphrased (rather than reproduced word-for-word)? Not a big deal, just weirds me out a little. |
| 2 years 37 weeks ago | Viewing options |
In France, trying to figure out how to watch the game. I'm thinking about buying the Big Ten Network's School Pass, but the information on their site doesn't make it clear which games they actually cover...it doesn't seem to be "all of them." Anyone have suggestions here? |
| 2 years 38 weeks ago | Oh I agree that muckraking |
Oh I agree that muckraking can be honorable and even necessary in contexts like political reporting. It's just not what I want in my sports coverage, unless something so nasty is going on that they have a genuine responsibility to uncover it. That doesn't seem like what's going on here. It seems more like these guys are desperate to throw dirt at Michigan any way they can. |
| 2 years 38 weeks ago | Where do these sports writers |
Where do these sports writers even get the idea that they're supposed to be muckrakers? I want my local sports writer to be a fan, not a malcontent bent on bringing down the program. |
| 2 years 38 weeks ago | Worried |
I'm still not entirely sure what to make of this. You could barely maintain a competitive intramural squad, much less a D1 contender, on 8 hours a week...but Rodriguez and staff seem to have flouted the letter of the law pretty flagrantly. The most troubling thing to me is that a lot of current players would be willing to come forward and say negative things about the program to the press. Interested to hear Brian's take. |
