Other College Football Coaches Wives

Everyone has been making a big deal about Lane Kiffin's wife and rightly so, I guess she is kind of attractive. But here I am looking at other wives of college football coaches. Huge props to Bob Stoops, Pete Carroll, Jeff Tedford and Urban Meyer for their work.

Better Ways to Spend Charlie Weis's Buyout

It would cost Notre Dame a reported $20 million (some places say less, but didn't give a number for it) to buy Charlie Weis out of his contract. That is just an ass load of money. Below is a list of other things Notre Dame could spend that money on now that they are keeping Charlie that would really help the football program out.

1. Get Charlie liposuction 400 times to have his fupa removed (estimated cost $50,000)

2. 5 star recruits, Reggie Bush's family allegedly lived in a home for free costing $54,000 a year in rent, which would be $220,000 over four years. Notre Dame could use the money to get 90.9 Reggie Bush's instead of buying fat Charlie out. Even he should be able to win with that talent.

3. Fix his knee. Dude took quite a hit from his own guy and has been hobbling around ever since. And fat men that hobble around are sad sites. Get the guy some surgery. I saw that ACL surgery cost $33,000 with the good cadaver graft too. We could get fat Charlie 606 of those.

4. Or better yet, since even if you replace his knee he will still be fat and unathletic you might as well get him a bionic leg. Cost of one is about $125,000 so we could get Charlie 160 of those guys.

5. Keep a lawyer on retainer for all the alcohol suspensions. It was said that O.J. Simpson's dream team cost $4 million, Notre Dame could get five of those dream teams.

The New Steroids

The NFL is suspending people for taking water pills this week including Deuce McCallister, MLB has gone through the whole steroid era and now home runs are down, and now in Japan apparently you can get in trouble if you take garlic infusion. I figure that all that can really do for you is give you some stanky breath but apparently I am wrong. It makes me wonder how Italians can play soccer at a competitive level if this is what FIFA wants to enforce. Full story here.

Top Searches of the Year

Yesterday Yahoo! released its top internet searches of the year, and a few things really shock me. Britney Spears finished first, but what is really surprising is that she finished first for the seventh time in eight years. And there was only one sports related term and that finished second, and it was not Michael Phelps or Gina Carano or the New england Patriots is was WWE, as in World Wrestling Entertainment. Barack Obama finished third to Britney.

Plax is an Idiot

What the mainstream media does not seem to be picking up on is that Plaxico Burress is facing serious mandatory jail time for possession of a gun. New York State has very tough gun laws and the minimum mandatory sentence is 42 months for possession of an illegal handgun. Although, he would not have to serve all of that time that still means that he would be looking at at least 2 years or so. That's a lot of time. Full article here.

Worst Sports Thanksgiving Ever

Wizards vs. Magic-Still very unclear to anyone why this was selected as the NBA's prime time game. And the Wiz are off to a solid 1-10 start this season and have fired head coach Eddie Jordan.

Titans vs. Lions-I am personally going to call Roger Goddell and suggest that the Lions not be allowed to play on Thanksgiving ever again. This is a national game and the Lions have not been good in years.

The college basketball schedule is filled with ranked teams playing bad teams. Gonzaga playing Oklahoma State and Maryland against Michigan State look to be the only games with potential to provide some excitement. Georgetown has never really liked to strain themselves early in the season so they will take on Wichita State.
