Very sad. (Link) Minnesota Vikings receiver Koren Robinson was in jail Wednesday on suspicion of drunken driving, a newspaper reported. Sgt. Loren Jansen of the St. Peter Police Department told the St. Paul Pioneer Press that Robinson was arrested around 10:46 p.m. Tuesday for “driving while impaired.” At least Koren isn’t alone on the police […]

Kornheiser’s MNF Debut
Watched some of last night’s Vikings-Raiders game solely for Tony Kornheiser’s debut. I enjoyed it. Tony is a fan. He thinks like a fan. He speaks like a fan. He is going to do just fine in his new role on MNF. This link will take you to a summary of “(Almost) Everyone Loves Tony”
Amato Still Needs a Title (?)
Less than 24 hours after I wrote this piece, Frank Dascenzo of the Herald Sun helps support my point (just a little bit) with a few stray statements in his article this morning, “Amato still needs a title. Don’t get me wrong, I am not offering a huge complaint here. The article is full of […]
Amato Justified in Recent Media Frustration
I have iTunes set up on my computer to download podcasts of which I am interested. One of my favorite podcasts is 850 The Buzz / 620 The Bull’s daily dose of the best interviews and conversations on their stations in a given day. These podcasts usually run anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour […]
Rampant Stupidity
William and Mary’s athletics logo remains unacceptable to the NCAA, whose Executive Committee yesterday denied the college’s appeal to keep two feathers that protrude from the interlocking W and M. The NCAA maintains that the nickname “Tribe” when paired with the feathered logo violates association restrictions regarding the use of Native American mascots, names and […]
(Insert School Here) Dreams Only One Hire Away
I ran across this piece tonight on CBS Sportsline and just had to highlight it. (Don’t worry…it isn’t a Greg Doyel article). (Link) OK, Nebraska. No excuses. Just go make the hire. Don’t assume Kansas and Texas are too far ahead to catch in the Big 12. They’re not. Don’t assume a football school can’t […]
Quick Media Follow-up
Man there is a TON of ‘stuff’ out there on the internet to share. SFN is definitely going to be challenged over the next month (pre-football) to pick and choose what to share and what to ingore. Real quick…on the day that we decided to kick-start college football television viewing discussions, we’ve run across a […]

Excerpt: “In the first seven months of the year, SFN has attracted almost 150,000 different visitors from around the world, generating just under 8 million hits and 2.5 million different page views of unique SFN material. We couldn’t be more proud of the breadth and depth of our growing reach considering that we are just […]
Cowher TV Feature
Bill Cowher is being featured on “Aaron’s Football Saturdays in the South” that is running in syndication on local channels throughout the south this weekend. (Link) The show is produced by “Lincoln Financial Sports” which is the old Jefferson-Pilot Sports. (Lincoln Financial Group bought Greensboro-based Jefferson-Pilot months ago). Super Bowl Champ Bill Cowher, NC State […]
Scoop’s Rape Scene & Peter King
Scoop has clearly convinced Page 2 editors that proofreading is a form of racism. Earlier in the month we told you about the great new blog, Kissing Suzy Kolber. Earlier this week KSK hit a friggin home run for the 99% of the readers out there that hate Terrell Owens &/or “Scoop” Jackson. This entry […]
