The Sports Thread #1 For 11/21/13: Silence is Not Golden

Image
Photo From USATSI I have always felt that Jameis Winston's silence has been disturbing in this whole matter. With an allegation as acute as this one is from this young woman and now her family , an innocent person in my perspective would not hide from public like the prodigy redshirt freshman has done. This has the makings of another big NCAA sports school cover up, where Florida State and the Tallahassee police have a close relationship with each other and made certain to prevent this from blowing up. The school's lack of true public statements on this matter is even more egregious in my mind. If this woman is indeed a victim as it appears she maybe, I hope she gets the justice she deserves, as with all victims of sexual assault. There are more details that need to be unveiled, but for the moment, Jameis Winston, Florida State University, and the Tallahassee police look like they are hiding something. And when you are hiding something, it is not a good look for any...

The S-Thread For 11/19/12: The BS of The BSECS Continues

Image
Alabama is not the 2nd best team in the nation, Georgia certainly is not the 3rd best team in the nation, and for sure Florida is not the 4th best team in the nation (and that's even if they get fortunate to win in Tallahassee on Saturday, even though they should lose soundly to a more talented and versatile Florida State team). This just speaks to the larger and overinflated power of the Southeastern Conference and its continued cartel and ownership over the overall cartel that is college football in America. It kind of was an unexpected (and pleasant) shock of reality that South Carolina, top 10 the last several weeks despite having two defeats, is now suddenly out of it. Is there some direct reason why the two loss Gamecocks were still good enough to be in the top 10 until it struggled against Wofford while Florida remains at #4 (ahead of now one loss sides Oregon and Kansas State) after just barely surviving Louisiana Lafayette and being awful against Jacksonville...

Sports Saturday #2 For 9/25/10: SEC West Game Of The Year, Alabama vs Arkansas

Image
Champions stay calm even in moments of deep adversity. That was exhibited today by the Alabama Crimson Tide, coming back from a 20-7 deficit to defeat dangerous Arkansas 24-20. Despite Mark Ingram showing why he won his Heisman Trophy last year and Nick Saban's team fighting through the struggles to get a satisfying victory, the game was really lost today by the Razorbacks. Star quarterback Ryan Mallet made two awful throws that he will think about for his entire career in the final quarterback. Forgettable interceptions that led to an Alabama touchdown to take the lead, and the one that effectively ended the game made this one a bitter pill to swallow for Bobby Petrino.
