I hate Urban Meyer, Florida's head football coach, after he let one of his players get away with the absolute lowest move that can be done to a person. That's right, I am talking about Brandon Spikes' eye gouging effort. Now before any of you Florida fans say "Well, it was an accident," he got caught on tape doing it. That move is lower than hitting someone below the belt. I mean eye gouging isn't even allowed in MMA where almost anything goes. And what does Meyer do? Suspends his player for the first half of the Vanderbilt game this week. You know what that tells me? It tells me that Meyer wouldn't have done anything if his player didn't get caught on tape. Spikes shouldn't be suspended for one half of a game, he should be suspended for the rest of the season. At least when Oregon suspended their running back they kept him out for almost half a season. And all he did was jack someone in the face on national TV. When you eye gouge someone, you are trying to rip that person's eye out -- hence it is illegal in every sanctioned sporting event. I mean come on -- you can't even eye gouge someone in a street fight these days with out getting beat down for it being such a low-down, dirty move. The NCAA and the SEC should step in and increase the suspension to something more realistic and fitting for the crime. I just think the coach is so worried about trying to be perfect and winning a BCS championship that he is willing to sacrifice such things as class and dignity to let a star player continue to play after showing what kind of person he is.
P.S. for those who are wondering, I'm a Alabama fan.
The saga continues The saga with my car continues. I have to officially drop a large sum of money on two parts that have become enigmas in the used parts world. The harmonic balancer went out and took out a few other crucial parts. To my dismay, no one seems to have a good one in stock in a salvage yard or seem to carry the right one...
Me and my car ... a love-hate relationship The story I'm about to tell starts back around five and years ago when I bought my first car, my Super Coupe, also known as a super chicken to many car enthusiasts. This car is special to me. It's the first car that I bought with my own money with no help from my parents and it was a sports car...
What a letdown So all week I was pumped to watch Kimbo Slice fight tonight in the Ultimate Fighter, and I kept telling myself that Kimbo is going to manhandle this big, fat white guy -- wow I was wrong. Kimbo lost the fight. The ref stopped the fight because Kimbo couldn't defend himself against Roy's punches because all Roy did was lay his fat body on Kimbo so he couldn't move. ...
The greatest fighter, I don't think so Floyd "Money" Mayweather has always boasted that he his the greatest boxer of all time and after 21 months came back and won his fight Saturday night in a 12 round unanimous decision, but was it really a fair fight. Juan Manuel Marquez had to gain weight to make this fight as to were Mayweather just had to make sure that he didn't weigh over the 147 mark. ...
This needs to change So as I was watching Purdue take on the Ducks last night, or early this morning whichever one you want to call it, I witnessed a call that just made my blood boil. Purdue just tied the game and went for the two-point conversion and nailed the pass, while the receiver was in the air in the end zone. The Oregon defender pushed the Boilermaker receiver out of bounds and the refs ruled the pass incomplete, and my mouth just dropped. Because of the no force out rule, the ruling stood...
This is going to be a long weekend I have just come to realize that as everyone gets ready to celebrate a long weekend for Labor Day, I am going to be one busy person. Friday Morning -- Went to breakfast with wife around 3 a.m., because I will be getting home around 2 a.m. and she works during the day, so this is the only way I am going to see her. Went to bed after breakfast...
It has begun Last Friday, high school football began all over the state of Indiana and in two weeks college football begins. My Saturday afternoons will soon consist of me sitting in my chair, drinking a beverage (one that I am sure that I can't mention on this Web site), and chowing down on some goodies...
What does it take to be called a sport? Here is a question that I have been pondering for the longest time. What does something have to do or involved to be considered a sport? Does it need to have a certain amount of athleticism or does it have to involve a ball? Does it need to have contact to be considered a sport? Or does simply have to appear on the ESPN ticker or does it need to be recognized by the Olympic committee to be considered a sport. ...
Here we go again Even if you are not a huge baseball fan, you probably still heard about David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez being named on the this infamous "list" of players that tested positive for performing enhancing drugs back in 2003. Even if you don't watch baseball at all, you still have heard about it because every sports show and network has been running wild with the story. ...
