Not because he wasn't an all-star or sports celebrity, but because <I>there's not much to say</I>. They just kept repeating themselves over and over because nobody knows what happened. This is the time when ESPN becomes like all those other news channels and starts rehashing the same story, it kind of makeing me sick.<BR/><BR/>Same exact thing happened when the Tigers beat the Yankees last week (not that both stories are similar). No reports were talking about the Tigers, it was all about the Yankees and their implosion. Although this may stem more from the Yankees being always a topic for discussion. But I'm starting to get tired of watching SportsCenter when they report on one big story every night every ten minutes in the show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160670533591893622006-10-12T12:28:00.000-04:002006-10-12T12:28:00.000-04:00Focus on Louisville?Do you mean focus on West Virg...Focus on Louisville?<BR/><BR/>Do you mean focus on West Virginia?Trenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17437899943627388086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160669922889255952006-10-12T12:18:00.000-04:002006-10-12T12:18:00.000-04:00dan mega~ I don't mind the Indians getting props.....dan mega~ I don't mind the Indians getting props...those come few and far between for those guys!

I mean, when you hear that a plane hits a building in NYC, immediately the thought that it could be a terrorist attack comes to mind. But when you hear that it was a MLB pitcher, a current Yankee nonetheless, the thought that it could be a terrorist attack was immediately dismissed... <BR/><BR/>The thought process goes from possible terrorist attack/wacko to just a tragic accident. <BR/><BR/>Not that it makes it any less tragic for Lidle's family or the family of the other person killed, but it was an interesting thought... nothing else.ToddTheJackasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333015679479284215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160664762807782612006-10-12T10:52:00.000-04:002006-10-12T10:52:00.000-04:00Dear Rest of the Country,We'll make room for you.S...Dear Rest of the Country,<BR/><BR/>We'll make room for you.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/><BR/>The Detroit Tigers and their fans.iamunstoppablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15812787540233425469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160664656317556362006-10-12T10:50:00.000-04:002006-10-12T10:50:00.000-04:00Herbie is by far far one of the best analysts on E...Herbie is by far far one of the best analysts on ESPN, but it's not to hard to look smart sitting next to Lee CorsoMarcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18318685160482268800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160664488785837892006-10-12T10:48:00.001-04:002006-10-12T10:48:00.001-04:00All this "Florida is demolishing good opponents" h...All this "Florida is demolishing good opponents" hype is making me really uneasy. Look, I've been to all the (home) games, and LSU was the first in which the crowd had a positive vibe going into half-time. And <I>that</I> was only because we were still on an adrenaline-high from the jump pass. <BR/><BR/>No game has come too easy for the Gators this year, who lead the nation in total penalties with 59--in 6 games!--and manage to make dumb mistakes on offense (Leak's fumble, Moore's fumble, that fake field goal a few weeks ago) only to get bailed out repeatedly by the defense (goal-line fumble against LSU).<BR/><BR/>Point being, the Gators are really good. BUT, they've yet to start a game well, looking sloppy every first quarter and most second quarters. I think they're the number 3 team, but if they start slow again against Auburn... well, it's going to catch up with them eventually.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923521765537437204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160664481912888362006-10-12T10:48:00.000-04:002006-10-12T10:48:00.000-04:00Is it me, or can T.O. really really really not st...Is it me, or can T.O. <I> really really really</I> not stay out of the press?<BR/><BR/>And surprisingly, this time, he was quite calm and nonchalant- oooh, stealthy. <BR/><BR/>But it still begs the question, is this simply T.O. being t.o. and not <B>T.O.</B> until enough time lapses since the O.D. story and he can be <B>T.O.</B> again?Jingoisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01269679565181077961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160663983457582002006-10-12T10:39:00.000-04:002006-10-12T10:39:00.000-04:00I think that one positive outcome of the USC/OU/Au...I think that one positive outcome of the USC/OU/Auburn 'mess' a few years ago, is that we do see more fluidity (fluidness) in the polls.<BR/><BR/>Granted, there probably should be more, but it has improved.Matt Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025500546395746323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160663855523691592006-10-12T10:37:00.000-04:002006-10-12T10:37:00.000-04:00Kudos to Herbie, the guy I think is arguably the b...<EM>Kudos to Herbie, the guy I think is arguably the best "analyst" talent at ESPN, if you factor in quality of analysis, delivery and overall image.</EM><BR/><BR/>Dan, does this mean you have a man crush on Kirk?
