How tough must it be for NFL kickers to concentrate warming up on the sidelines right next to cheerleaders...
How can any serious college football fans take Ohio State seriously? After losing to Southern Cal 35-3 on Saturday, the Buckeyes are becoming as well-known for their choking in big games as they are for producing elite NFL talent. Head coach Jim Tressel has brought a classy, workman-like attitude to the Buckeyes, but perhaps his discipline and strict maintenance of the team has produced a uneasy nervousness heading into big games.
So now there are reports Raiders owner Al Davis planned on firing head coach Lane Kiffin on Monday, regardless of Sunday's outcome (which was a 23-6 Raiders win over the Chiefs). And Kiffin was very outspoken in his comments, stating that one can never expect much job security with Davis at the controls of the franchise. It's hard to argue with Kiffin's sentiment, but shouldn't he have known better when he took the job in the first place? Davis was already known as the NFL version of Isiah Thomas, so perhaps Kiffin should take some blame for showing poor judgement in leaving Southern Cal, perhaps the cushiest job in all of football, for the wasteland that is now the once-proud Raiders franchise...
Not sure I've seen anybody mention this, but why doesn't Davis bring back John Madden?! He already tried bringing back Art Shell, with disastrous results. But imagine the PR help bring back Madden would create. He doesn't even have to coach; he can just stand on the sidelines with a clipboard and repeat "Boom!" on every running play. Or we can hear him talking to his offensive coordinator, saying something like, "You know, when you run, that means you can't pass the ball." The senior moments would be priceless...
