College Football Is Burning
The recent report of unbelievable violations committed by the University of Miami should be the fuse that sets off an explosion which would result in major changes in college atheltics specifically college football. Unfortunately, it won't happen. College football is big business. While the NCAA tries to sell the whole purity of the sport story, the truth is that college football is about as pure as the creeps who work on Wall Street and the bankers and oil men who are living high off the hog.
The Miami story is similar to Ohio State in that the AD, the University administration and football coaches knew what was going on with one Nevin Shapiro. To think that 18,19 and 20 year old kids, who may come from impoverished backgrounds, would not jump at the chance to get large amounts of money, get new cars and attend lavish parties with strippers is totally unrealistic. I don't blame these kids. The blame needs to be placed on the adults. The very people who were supposed to be looking out for these kids. The fact is they could careless about these kids as long as they perform on the field so the University can rake in the cash.
Eight major college football programs have been penalized or are under investigation. (USC, Ohio State, Auburn, Oregon, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia Tech, LSU) and the NCAA sits idly by and watches. My initial reaction is that Miami needs to have the death penalty dropped on them. However, that probably won't happen. There are some who believe that it won't happen because the NCAA fears that if Miami gets hammered, the big football programs will end up breaking away from the NCAA and create their own organization. This organization would be basically the BCS which is comprised of the big conferences. The mid-majors and small schools will all that will be left for the NCAA and as a result they would be powerless and lose plenty of money.
College football is burning. The NCAA is on the spot. Will they do the right thing and drop the death penalty on Miami or will they give them a slap on the wrist. Stay tuned.
NFL News
Here's what is going on around the NFL:
* Jermichael Finley had a promising start last season before an injury ended his 2010 campaign. Well, the Packers are hopeful that Finley will be back on the field possibly for this week's second preseason game.
* The Chicago Bears were not happy with the performance of second string quarterback Caleb Hanie in last Saturday's game against the Bills. Apparently, rookie Nathan Enderle is getting reps with the Bears second team offense. Not sure what this is all about. Maybe a motivational move to wake Hanie up. Whatever the case, the Bears need to get this situation worked out.
* Jimmy Clausen is scheduled to start once again this week for the Carolina Pathers against Miami. Coach Ron Rivera indicated that a decision will be made as to who the starter will be by the August 25th preseason game against the Bengals. Claussen's competition is overal 1st round draft pick Cam Newton.
* Speaking of the Bengals, Mike Brown's ridiculous stance on Carson Palmer's demand to be traded is typical of an owner who is a joke. Palmer has been a consumate professional and at age 31 sees the handwriting on the wall: the Bengals will be bad for awhile. Palmer could probably bring back a reasonably high draft pick back to Cincinnati but Brown refuses to budge. If I was a Bengal fan, they wouldn't see me at a game this year.
* Chris Johnson is out of his mind wanting to be one of the highest paid players in the NFL. The Titans are ready to pay Johnson Adrian Peterson money but that's not good enough. Johnson wants to be paid like a quarterback. Well, that's not happening. The average career length of an NFL running back is far shorter than that of an NFL quarterback.
* The Washington Redskins have announced that John Beck will start this week at quarterback and the word is that the Shanahans have already made the decision that he will be their starter. So much for Rex Grossman.
* Mike Sims-Walker may be a big find for the St. Louis Rams this season as he wants to prove that the Jacksonville Jaguars made a huge mistake letting him go. Sims-Walker could be somebody to keep an eye on for fantasy purposes.
* Earl Thomas, safety for the Seattle Seahawks, is having an outstanding camp so far. The former Longhorn star is drawing comparisons to All-Pro Raven safety Ed Reed.
* The Buffalo Bills have cut Aaron Maybin. Maybin, the former first round pick, is another of a line of light Penn State defensive ends who were drafted in the 1st round only to be cut. (Michael Haynes - Bears, Courtney Brown - Browns) I can't believe that Maybin came into camp at 228. Several teams have contacted Maybin's agent, including the Jets. It would seem that if Maybin has a future its at OLB.
* Don't know why but I'm really thinking the Kansas City Chiefs can be an exciting team to watch this year. Matt Cassel will have Dwayne Bowe, Steve Breaston, rookie Jonathan Baldwin and tight end Tony Moeaki as his receiving corp. This coupled with star running back Jamaal Charles and Le Ron McClain should make the Chiefs an exciting team to watch this year.
Tuesday’s Thoughts
While wondering what's more disgusting deep fried butter or a hamburger in between a glazed donut here is what else is on my mind:
* Well, well, well, AJ Burnett finally got off his August losing streak as the Yankees came back and defeated the Royals 7-4. Burnett did his usual one inning melt down in the 5th inning, blowing a 2-0 lead by giving up 3 runs in the bottom of the 5th. In 5 1/3 innings, the Blonde Bomber gave up 10 hits and struck out 2. Hardly confidence inspiring but I'm sure Mr. Cashman is pleased.
http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/2011/08/16/2011-08-16_colon_in_pen_could_relieve_rotation_logjam.html Filip Bondy's article today in the Daily News is exactly what I have been thinking since Cashman told us all to smoke the reality pipe. Bondy is right on the money when he says that it would be a huge mistake for this season and the future if you play games with Ivan Nova and Phil Hughes. Since Burnett is not going to the bullpen by Cashman's edict, Bartolo Colon to the pen makes sense. Interesting Colon stats in the article.
* Yesterday in the NY Post, there was an article where Jorge Posada said he loves the Yankee fans but if he decides to play next year it could be with another team. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Jorge.
* In direct contrast to Posada is Bernie Williams. Williams just walked away when he was not guaranteed a roster spot in 2007. I don't ever recall Bernie saying a bad thing about the Yankees since he has left. It's a disgrace that the high muckety-mucks in Yankeeland have not had a Bernie Williams Day. Williams was just as important as the Core Four and in case you forgot, was a homegrown product.
* There was a good article in the last edition of Sports Illustrated about Bears quarterback Jay Cutler. Cutler has taken all kinds of heat for coming out of last year's NFC title game in spite of the fact that he suffered a Grade II tear of the medial-collateral ligament in his left knee and as a result couldn't plant and throw. Players, such as the genius Maurice Jones-Drew, called Cutler out calling him gutless. Cutler was sacked 52 times last year, the most of any quarterback in the NFL in 2010. Do you remember the Giants game when he was sacked 9 times in the first half!!! This is also a guy who plays while being a Type 1 diabetic. Cutler is also a professional athlete who does quite a bit of work for various charities with the understanding that he doesn't think its necessary to broadcast it to everyone. And that's why Cutler isn't looked favorably by the media, he doesn't go out of his way to cater to them. I'd take Jay Cutler on my team any day, not only for his athletic ability but also because of his off the field endeavors.
* Read yesterday that during the lockout, Colt McCoy went down to Mississippi to meet with Brett Farve to talk about the West Coast offense. Farve of course played under Mike Holmgren so it would make sense for Colt to pick Farve's brain. McCoy's 2011 debut was certainly impressive against the Packers. I'm liking this kid more and more.
* Last week I touched on the sad state of sports radio here in Western New York. While all markets tend to focus on their own teams, the Buffalo Sports Station, WGR550 covers only the Bills and the Sabres 365 days a year. Pennant races, March Madness, World Series are all non-existent on GR. But that's what happens when there is no competition. About 10 years ago or so, Western New Yorkers had options with WWKB Radio and WNSA. It raised the level of the product. Now, with no competition, sports talk turns into talk about how much pizza one of the co-hosts ate and compiling lists of favorite foods and movies. Hard hitting sports talk?? Give me a break!! The smug morning co-host Jeremy White would say: why do you listen if you don't like it. My response: I don't listen but my local sources keep me posted on what's going on with the best sports radio station in Buffalo.
* Congrats to Jim Thome for hitting his 600th home run last night. In fact, he hit is 599th and 600th against the Tigers in their 9-6 win. Thome is a throwback to the sluggers from the 60's and 70's. You've never heard his name mentioned with any performance enhancing drugs.
More troubling news out of college football as it's being reported on CBS Sportsline that the University of Miami's football team is being investigated for special favors and money being given to players. This allegedly happened prior to the current coaching staff. Let's see: USC, North Carolina, Oregon, Ohio State and now Miami. Hmmmm....there's no problem in NCAA Football.
* We also see that Texas A&M is looking to bolt the Big 12 and go to the SEC. What's pushing this is the fact that the Big 12 has allowed Texas University to have its own television network called "The Longhorn Network". The Aggies are concerned because this would give the Longhorns an even greater advantage in recruiting the many talented Texas high school football players.
* And finally, do you think the WGR guys know where Texas A&M is???
Mo & CC Least Of Yanks Worries
Over the past weekend, the New York dailies and Yankee fans have been wringing their hands over the latest pitching performances by Mariano Rivera and CC Sabathia. Take a chill pill, please!! With respect to Mariano, for the last several years we have seen Rivera go through a couple of rough outings and then he bounces back to his old dominating self again. If every time a closer went out their in the 9th inning and it was automatic why even play the inning?? As Yankee fans we have been spoiled by the most effective closer in modern time. But to expect him to be perfect every time is totally ridiculous. Yesterday I was watching the Pirates-Brewers game and the Pirates brought their All-Star closer Joel Hanrahan in to get a 4 out save. The Pittsburgh broadcast team was very confident. But Ryan Braun tied the game off Hanrahan and the Brewers went on to the win the game in extra innings. Now, am I comparing Hanrahan with the great Rivera?? No, but I'm sure today Pirate fans aren't questioning whether this is it for their closer.
Sabathia has had two rough outings, the latest being Friday night when he gave up 5 solo home runs to the Tampa Bay Rays. The sky was definitely falling now. But interestingly enough, two other aces got pounded Saturday, Jered Weaver and Josh Beckett. Should Angel and Red Sox fans be ready to jump off the bandwagon??? Hardly. While I am concerned about CC's stats against the Red Sox, the 5 solo home runs was one game. I do believe that Girardi made a mistake by giving Sabathia an extra day's rest. Pitchers like a steady routine and CC hinted that the extra day did throw off his schedule.
The Yankees have other concerns besides Rivera and Sabathia. As a fan, I'm more worried about AJ Burnett and management's undying loyalty to him, the DH spot in the lineup, who will be the number two starter in the playoffs and can they beat the Red Sox.
Hughes Sends A Message / New Era In Believeland??
The intrigue will continue to mount today in the Bronx as the Yankees announced that Freddy Garcia will not pitch because of a cut finger and AJ Burnett will toe the rubber in his place. This coming after another good performance by Phil Hughes. Hughes was solid yesterday going 6 innings allowing 2 earned runs on four hits while only walking one and striking out 6. Hughes had velocity on his fastball and was in control for most of his outing.
So what happens if Burnett today continues his 0 for August string against the Rays?? If we are to believe Mr. Cashman it doesn't really matter what Burnett does today because he is going to stay in the rotation. What kind of message does this send Hughes, the rest of the team and your young prospects when performance means nothing. While Cashman says that Burnett's salary has nothing to do with AJ staying in the rotation, then what is the reason. Burnett's incredible stuff?? His tremendous potential to dominate a game??? Here's what I know: in Hughes' last three starts he is 2-1 with a 2.00 ERA. Burnett's last three starts: 0-1 with a 7.36 ERA. Enough said.
One more note on the Yankee game: Jorge Posada responded to his benching by driving in 6 runs including a grand slam home run yesterday afternoon. The Yankee Stadium crowd showed their appreciation by asking for and getting a curtain call from the aging Yankee star. For Posada's efforts, Manager Joe Girardi said that Posada will be back in the lineup today.
************************************************************************************
Last night kicked off the 2011 NFL season for the Cleveland Browns and the Brownies responded with a 27-17 preseason win over the defending World Champion Green Bay Packers. Now the win, while nice, really means nothing. But what was significant was the coordinated methodical running of the West Coast offense by 2nd year quarterback Colt McCoy. McCoy made all the right reads and all the right throws as he led the Browns to two scores, one a 27 yard touchdown pass to Josh Cribbs.
During the lockout, the Browns were considered one of the teams that would be hurt the most because they had a new coach instituting a new offensive system with a young quarterback. But last night, the Browns looked anything like being hurt by the lockout. McCoy has always been a winner, a leader and he is extremely intelligent. The receiving core looked good also and there seemed to be a connection between them and McCoy. After years of painful offensive playcalling under Romeo Crennel and Eric Mangini, it was exciting watching the offense under Head Coach Pat Shurmur.
While it is only one game, a preseason one at that, there sure was some encouraging signs last night. Who knows maybe there is a new era dawning in Believeland.
Do You Think We’re Stupid, Cashman!!!
I am not a Michael Kay fan. To me he is a self-promoting, over-hyping annoyance on the Yankee broadcast. But last night I give him some credit. During Kim Jones' early game update, she reported on Brian Cashman's presser where he defended AJ Burnett basically saying that if he wasn't making $82.5 million nobody would be screaming for him to be moved from the rotation. While first qualifying that he respects and likes Brian Cashman, Kay stated that this isn't about the money, this is about the fact that Burnett couldn't get a win after being staked with a 13-1 lead against Chicago and that he is 0 for August since AJ's been a Yankee.
Cashman's vehement defense of his so-called number 2 starter is another example of his arrogance. If The Boss was still around, the little elf who repeled down a building in Connecticut would be under fire right now. Does Brian Cashman think we are all stupid????
Cashman told the reporters that if it wasn't for the money, Burnett would be sought after by a number of teams. Really??? Like who and what would the Yanks get in return??? Some used baseballs and a beat-up ball cap??? He also lectured that Burnett just came off a good start against a playoff contending Angels team only allowing 4 runs over six innings against the Halos. By my math, that equates to a 6.00 ERA. Is that going to get in done in a playoff series in October??? Hardly.
The GM told reporters that they needed to "peel the onion back" and they would see that all this talk about moving Burnett into the bullpen is bull@#%* (his words). So I did look to peel the onion back. What I looked at was how Burnett has done against Detroit, Boston and Los Angeles. Here are the numbers: 23 2/3 innings pitched, 22 hits allowed, 16 earned runs, 9 walks and 20 strikeouts with a 1-3 record. The lone win was on April 2 vs Detroit (10-6). The three losses: May 5th vs Detroit (6-3), June 8th vs Boston (11-6) and August 9th vs LAA (6-4) Burnett's ERA over these 4 games is a whopping 6.10. In the playoffs, a 6.10 ERA typically means a loss and that's when it matters most.
No matter what Cashman says, AJ Burnett can not be trusted down the stretch or in October. Simply put: he's another in a long list of pitching head cases who has taken Yankee money but can't deal with the pressure that comes with being a Yankee. In fact, if you look at Burnett's career the most wins and strikeouts that he had was in his last year as a Blue Jay when he was 18-10 and 231 strikeouts. By the way, that was his walk year. The year where he suckered Cashman, hook , line and sinker.
As I have stated numerous times on this blog, Cashman has lucked out big time. His bargain basement signings of Colon and Garcia has masked the fact that his infatuation with Cliff Lee last year allowed other pitching improvements to go away (Dan Haren). In case anyone didn't notice, Ubaldo Jimenez pitched well against division leading Detroit. In the meantime, Yankee fans are being sold a bill of goods that they have enough to succeed in October. Cashman also made it clear yesterday that he won't be active at all prior to August 31st in bringing in anybody who is clears waivers. Arrogantly, he said that what you see is what you get. Well, what I see is no World Series this year.
Couldn’t Happen To A “Grander” Guy!!
Where would the Yankees be without Curtis Granderson?? He has been one of the few Yankees who has consistently contributed offensively. His two-run homer yesterday tied the game for the Yanks and put him as the league leader in runs scored and RBI's. Not bad for a guy who some criticized Brian Cashman for getting in exchange for Austin Jackson. For me, it was one of the better moves that Cashman has made and I felt that way when the deal was made over a year ago.
Granderson started off very slowly last year forcing Manager Joe Girardi to bat him as low as 8th. But mid-way through the 2010 season, Granderson went to work with hitting coach Kevin Long and he turned his 2010 season around finishing the year with 24 home runs and 67 RBI's. Hard work and dedication has paid off going into this year as Grandy is hitting .275 with 32 home runs, 93 RBI's, 103 runs scored and 22 stolen bases. It couldn't happen to a "grander" guy.
Curtis Granderson is what a professional athlete should be: a role model. This is a guy who goes out of his way to be involved in the community. He works with a number of charities and takes time especially for kids. You will not find a better ambassador for major league baseball. One thing has always stuck in my mind about Granderson going back to the 2006 playoffs. Granderson was playing for the Tigers and it was Game 2 at Yankee Stadium. Mike Mussina was warming up and Granderson was leading off for the Tigers and in the on deck circle. Two kids were sitting nearby and obviously were calling out to Granderson. Granderson took the time to go over and chat with the kids and gave them both a couple of baseballs. I thought this guy is special and as I learned more about him my initial impression was proven true.
With ARod coming back next week, it will be interesting to see how Joe Girardi constructs his lineup. In my mind, I can't see how Girardi can lower Granderson in the lineup. The Grandyman needs to stay in the 3 hole. I would move Teixiera to the 6 spot. While the focus has been on the starting rotation, how the lineup looks will be just as interesting. In the mean time, its great to see a "grand guy" having a "grand" season. Despite what Leo Durocher said, its nice to see a nice guy finsihing first. Keep it going Grandyman!!!!
Decision Time For Girardi, Yanks
Ivan Nova established last night that he belongs in the Yankee starting rotation as he pitched solidly into the 7th inning leading the Yankees to a 9-3 win over the Angels. Before the game, Manager Joe Girardi announced that Nova will be in the starting rotation and that it was coming down to AJ Burnett and Phil Hughes to round out the pitching rotation with the loser heading to the bullpen. From where I sit, it might take a perfect game by Phil Hughes to keep him in the starting rotation. Hughes has been in the bullpen before and has performed well as you may remember 2009. Burnett has not pitched out of the bullpen and once again there are $62 million reasons why he won't be moved from the rotation.
If Hughes pitches well Saturday, he should remain in the starting five. But somehow I don't think that will happen. It's unfortunate that size of contract will dictate who does what as opposed to performance. I just don't see Girardi and the Yankees having the guts to do the right thing.
NFL News
It's time for me to take a break from the Yankees (another loss last night) so starting today, once a week from now until the Super Bowl there will be a post dealing solely on what's going on across the NFL. I hope you enjoy it.
* Chad Ochocinco going to New England is a great move for both him and the Patriots. I truly believe that Ocho still has some gas left in the tank and teaming up with Tom Brady should really be fun to watch. If anyone can get the most out of him it certainly is Brady and Bill Belichick. By the way, can you imagine having Ochocinco living at your home for a few weeks??? That's what he's doing while he gets acclimated to the Boston area as he plans on living with a fan until he gets his own place.
* Staying with the Pats, Belichick has beefed up his defense with the signing of Shaun Ellis, Mark Anderson and Andre Carter. I think it was really odd how the Jets treated Ellis, who was a stalwart on the Jet defense for years.
* I have enjoyed listening and reading about Rex Ryan. However, the Jets coach's act is starting to get old and I'm not sure that this year's edition of Gang Green is better than last year's team.
* Donovan McNabb starts over again this time with the Minnesota Vikings. McNabb will be helped out by having Adrian Peterson in the backfield and a better than average defense. It's interesting how little appreciation there has been for McNabb who has had a great career and has been a model citizen. Here's hoping McNabb has a good season.
* The Ravens signing of Ricky Williams was an excellent one. Williams will be a great compliment to Ray Rice. As a Browns fan, I hate the Ravens but this was a good move.
* Plenty of controversy in Chicago over Olin Kreutz leaving the Bears. Kreutz was a stalwart on the Bears offensive line for years but I'm not sure I agree with those who believe his departure will signal another bad year for the O-line. News flash: wasn't Kreutz a member of last years O-line that was hammered all year for not protecting Jay Cutler. Kreutz is not getting any younger and I think Roberto Garza will be handle the center duties. The bigger issues are at tackle but I think O-line Coach Mike Tice will have things ready for opening day.
* I've never been a Tim Tebow fan. In my mind I never thought he would be a good NFL QB. It seems that all reports out of Denver is that he is not better than Kyle Orton and he may not even be better than Brady Quinn. It doesn't surprise me that Orton is number 1 on the depth chart. I think that Orton is underrated and that the Broncos best chance of winning is with the former Purdue QB. Tebow?? There are those in South Florida who are clamoring for Timbo to come to Miami. News flash Dolphin fans: you are better off with Chad Henne who reportedly has looked good in camp.
Tuesday’s Thoughts
While wondering why I pay more taxes than General Electric here is what's on my mind this morning:
* http://espn.go.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/id/14706/red-sox-yankees-rivalry-dead-how-to-fix Great article about the Yankee-Red Sox rivalry. While I don't like the idea of a one game playoff for 2 wild card teams, I do agree that the 19 games between the 2 teams is too much. The other problem with the rivalry is that the Yankees don't have anybody with any fire. Do you remember when Thurman Munson and Carleton Fisk hated each other's guts? When Graig Nettles fought Bill Lee?? When Don Zimmer charged Pedro Martinez??? When Karim Garcia charged the mound??? When the Yankee bullpen fought Red Sox fans?? When Tanyon Sturtze took on two Red Sox to come to Zimmer's defense??? Now its all hugging and grab ass B.S.
* The move to bench Jorge Posada is a long time coming. Unfortunately, you would have hoped that Posada would have gone to Girardi and recognized he was hurting the team and asked out. Look at Jason Varitek. Not sure I've ever heard that he was upset with his role with the Red Sox. He maybe plays once or twice a week. Posada should follow Varitek's lead and suck it up. While there are some who question whether AJ Burnett would be on the playoff roster, should Posada be on that roster??
* Is there a bigger dirt bag ingrate than golf caddie Steve Williams?? If it wasn't for Tiger Woods no one would have a clue as to who Williams is. Not to mention the money Williams has made as a result of Woods. Yet, Williams has taken it upon himself to take shots at Tiger. What a piece of garbage!!!
* http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/more_sports/true_yes_man_1nzhOwzFZC9i0l0k8GGzBM Great article by Phil Mushnick about the annoying and self-promoting Michael Kay. Mushnick really nails it. Take the time to check it out!
* Staying in the world of broadcasting, its amazing to look at what's going on in sports radio. Not sure you can find a better sports radio station than 660 WFAN out of New York. Chicago sports radio is good also. What makes these stations a pleasure to listen to is that they cover all sports, not just the local teams. The Toronto sports radio market is right up there as there is 590 The Fan and now TSN has a radio station at 1050 AM. Being in Western New York, I am fortunate to be able to listen to those stations because Buffalo sports radio is a flat out joke. WGR 550 only focuses on the Bills and Sabres. Basketball and baseball simply do not exist. In fact, if you want to listen to MLB playoff games you have to listen to Toronto sports radio. Despite having 4 mid-major college basketball teams, 550 never covers them, they don't even talk about them. In addition, Niagara and Canisius have fairly decent Division I hockey teams as Niagara has made the Frozen 4 tournament twice but as far as 550 goes it never happened. Not only do they simply focus on the Bills and Sabres, their on air hosts are the most obnoxious and condescending group that you will find anywhere. What makes it worse is that they really are ignorant as to what is going on outside of the Buffalo pro teams.
* Dave Dombrowski received a contract extension from the Detroit Tigers to be their General Manager through 2015. Not good news for those of us who would like to see Brian Cashman go off into the sunset as Dombrowski was considered a possible replacement.
* Here's hoping Joe Paterno is back on the sidelines at Penn State. Joe Pa was injured when a player ran into him causing multiple injuries and sending the college football icon to the hospital. It's reported that Paterno should be back before the start of the season.
* I'm not sure whether Colt McCoy is the answer at quarterback for the Browns but I certainly admire the kid's leadership abilities. The kid was a proven winner in college and I really hope he succeeds with the Browns. It's been almost 20 years since the Browns had a quarterback that fans could believe in. (Bernie Kosar)
* And finally, I saw a clip of a MMA fight that took place over the weekend with Niagara Falls native Rashard Evans. People could save themselves plenty of money and see the same amount of action by hanging out at any parking lot at an NFL stadium on game day. Nothing like a good old fashioned tailgate drunken stupor fight!!
