It Was Right In Front Of Them
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The team is the core of their being. And they almost got the big game. 40 days to talk about their team and listen to everyone else glorify it. Dream about the matchup. I'll tell ya, that Jesus Birthday crap would come in a distant second.
They thought they had a sure thing. Pitt at home.
And then all yanked away.
It depends on what kind of entertainment you look for. I suppose a playoff would be good too, but my tastes are a little warped.

I Advise

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Doing whatever makes the most money. Don't be hampered by intellectual, ethical, moral, or journalistic considerations. It's a delicate tight-rope though. You have to pretend that stuff matters for appearances.

There's Not Much Difference Between The Conferences
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You better be ready for any road game for one thing........You take any of the conferences and play one versus one, two versus two, and so on down the line, home field will be huge. You will have some close games and a rout or two each way. Then you could change home fields and do it again the next week and get completely different results. Then play them again a thrid week and get different results again. Sometimes you'd have the same two teams swapping 28 point drubbings.

Eulogies
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Have never been my strong suit so I guess I'm the one who has to point out that in Evel's biggest moment, the Canyon jump, he wet his pants and pulled the parachute trigger about 2 seconds after launch.

Yesterday Revisited
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I was contemplating the BCS-Playoff debate.
Funny there is no universal outcry from the coaches, particularly the big name coaches. Sure many reservedly say they are for a playoff, but no unified, relentless--"WE NEED A BLEEPING PLAYOFF." That would definitely help the cause.
So the question is why not.
I think the trail leads to the usual culprit--the barnyard. The fans, alumni, and boosters.
Under the current system if the coach has a great team, you are in the BCS rankings and media talk as the season plays out. Then you have one big bowl game, maybe the title game. Or if not, the coach can always conduct his program's barnyard symphony about being screwed. Top 10 finish likely anyway. Maybe top slot or second. The barnyard egos remain largely in tact no matter what.
But with a great team in the playoff, if you are ejected early in the tourney (God forbid a couple times in a row), the discontent, defecation, and howls from the barnyard would be unbearable.
So basically I think we have the coaches in many cases, softly pretending to be for it (loudly may actualy change something) in order to side with their fickle barnyards who are loudly for the playoff. But the reaction of the barnyard to the results of playoffs could be too severe for comfort.
I don't see a change coming. Ever.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Brady said he heard the whistle for the timeout and didn't try for the first down. He had a hole to the right if he wanted it.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]We discussed this earlier........Rose didn't bet on games as a player. The proof is that he said he didn't. What more do we need? End of discussion.

The Shula Thing
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Can definitely go overboard. Like he has to be around for oversight of the Patriots from here on out. Hopefully if Brady gets to the Super Bowl he'll guarantee victory to remind grandpa of Super Bowl 3.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on his nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Last Time Out
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]In his team's biggest game and stage of the year, the Sportsman of the Year was 5-14 for 56 yards and 2 picks. Then the Sportsman of the Year got hurt, and they got the back-up in there and made it respectable.

I Didn't Say
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]He was picked because he is white. Or that it was even a small factor.
My intended implication was that many of the fans, a.k.a. the nerds, receive it well for that reason.
I don't know if the pick itself is playing to that, to some degree or other. I'd say teeney-weeney amount falls within the realm of reasonable conjecture or debate.

As Noted Earlier

[Read more letters about this article: Here]The orations and print about Favre are mighty syrupy. It's mostly sugar, mollasses, and sorghum, but there's some caucasian in there too.

Maybe The Selection
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Should be the nerds. Or one nerd to represent. Without them there's a total vacuum.
Or maybe one white and one non-white recipient each year. That way we can avoid this delicate speculation and some heretic with a little rubber hammer making the knees jerk upward.

I'm Not Obsessed With The Nerds
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]They just won't get out of my face. Here in Kentucky some hoops freshman, a high-school PARADE all-american, announced a transfer. Now it's up in the air again.
It leads the local TV and radio news. The water coolers and call in shows are 40, 50, and 60 year old voices wringing their hands, distraught.
Nerds.

"Brady arguably has been better"
