Posted by: | Comments
We’re getting close to the college football season and it’s time to start breaking down our schedules and thinking about our bets. Every year there are a handful of College Football teams willing to travel cross-country and take on a big time opponent. Most of the time money plays the biggest role, with teams in [...]
Answering The Critics, Minnesota’s Issues
Posted by: | Comments
Recently, KFAN radio in Minneapolis was ripping you for your support of ESPN over the Brett Farve story. Did you hear about it? Tom, Minneapolis
Sure. It happens a dozen times a year. I bag on some local meatballs, they fire back, I get free publicity, heavy e-mail volume and my ratings go up in that [...]
The Top 7 College Football Programs In America
Posted by: | Comments
I’ve been asked so many times since we started the website, “In your opinion, who are the top college football programs in America?” I had to sit back and do some thinking on this one, so we’ve turned it into a full article. Keep the College Football questions coming because the season starts August 1st [...]
The Herd’s Dream Girl, More T-Wolves Bashing

You killed the T-Wolves G.M. David Kahn on your radio show. Don’t you think he knows more than you about draft picks? Kurt, Fargo
Sure he does. Bill Clinton has a higher IQ than I do, too. Yet he couldn’t pass on that denim wearing hog, Monica Lewinsky. Intelligence doesn’t mean emotional maturity or good judgment, [...]
Jimmy Clausen Is Small, Overrated And Simmons-Dunleavy Battle
Posted by: | Comments
Dude, you were like a boxing ref with Bill Simmons and Mike Dunleavy. Gotta love that controversy! Bill, LA
Not gonna lie, lots of e-mails and attention for that boxing match. In radio, that’s never a bad thing. I actually like them both of them. I’ve known Mike for years, known Simmons for about an hour, [...]
Talking NBA Draft; Steals, Deals And Busts

What do you make of Spainard, Ricky Rubio, is he going to be legit or not? Chris, NYC
The kid has less muscle definition than a down comforter. His hair is thicker than his chest. I think, until he gains some weight, he could get pushed around and worn down in the NBA. He’s flashy and [...]

You’re going to have a radio and a TV show at the same time? Dude, will you become a zombie on the air and is burn out on the horizon? Micheal, Philly
Unlike Dick Vermeil I won’t be sleeping in my office, so I don’t think I’ll burn out anytime soon. I’ve coordinated my radio/TV schedules, [...]
My Least Favorite Person In Sports, USC Title Hopes
Posted by: | Comments
Your love and knowledge of USC is obvious, how good are they this year? Jim, Santa Monica
Too many road games against 8-9 win teams with an unproven quarterback probably means 12-0 is out of the question. Yet, they could still be a darkhorse for the National Championship. They return the bulk of their offensive home [...]
Crying Notre Dame Fans, My Lost Love For Rachel Ray
Posted by: | Comments
Why do you hate Notre Dame? Is it because they lack thugs? Peter, South Bend
If any reasonable person listens to me daily, they can’t possibly think I hate Notre Dame. I’ve said three times in two weeks, “They will win 10 games this year.” The problem with Irish fans, they are so used to a [...]
Overrated Coaches And Seattle SPorts Issues
Posted by: | Comments
Who are the most overrated coaches in all of football? Dave, Chicago
That’s a tough question Dave. Overrated means someone thinks they are really good, maybe even me, and just isn’t as elite as their reputation. At the college level, Steve Spurrier has never put in the hours of his contemporaries. His bowl record is [...]
