Saturday News and Notes
NFL Draft 2009 Impact Rookies. Jared Cook and Ryan Succop (maybe not Mr. Irrelevant after all!) made the list. Who do you think will be the biggest impact rookie from this year's Gamecocks class? Cook Impresses. If Cook puts on a few pounds and learns to block better, I have no doubt he can be...
Harvin Gets Sick, People Freak Out
Percy Harvin got sick on a plane to Minneapolis via Atlanta. When the plane landed, Harvin was checked out to see if he was a victim of the Bacon Flu. [Vikings coach] Childress also says doctors ruled out the swine flu. Seriously folks, just wash your hands and don't let people sneeze on you....
Kyle Gets Contrary: Why I Don't Like Mike Leach
I believe the success of the "Kyle Gets Contrary" series is attested to by the reaction the first two installments have garnered in the blogosphere, so I am moved to go out on a limb in this third installment, in which I part company with the overwhelming majority of college football bloggers. Here...
Thursday News and Notes
Football SI's Latest Preseason Poll. Although they only have five in the top 25, all five SEC teams are in the top 15, although. Carolina is nowhere to be seen. A couple of things jump out at me about this poll. One, I was as impressed as anyone by what Ole Miss did late last season, but I'll...
Wednesday News and Notes
NFL Draft Jasper Brinkley and Jamon Meredith Steals according to SI. I would have to agree.

If he truly has gotten back to being the athlete he was in 2006 and early 2007, he's one of...
Kyle Gets Contrary: The N.F.L., the S.E.C., and the Need for Less Math
In 2000, when I was co-hosting "The Dawg Show" on local cable television with my brother-in-law, Travis Rice, we introduced a new segment on the program called "Trav Tees Off." The basic premise was: Trav is mad, and he’s going to go on a highly entertaining rant to explain why. If memory serves,...
What Defines Success?
Michael Lev looks back on Pete Carroll's comments from Jan. 15th. So far, Mark Sanchez’s decision to forgo his final year of eligibility at USC looks like pure genius. Sanchez worked his way up to the top five in the 2009 NFL draft. He went to the team he wanted to play for. And he will...

We're All Growns Up, And Making Bryce Paup References
I've always found the draft a bit of an odd thing. On one hand fans typically like to see their players to get drafted early and take pride in how many players were taken by teams in The League. But then again, fans dread and seethe scorn when a player jumps for the cash, and also can't feel good...
