About Me

Smart, handsome, and funny… all words my grandmother would use to describe me. Others may argue that sarcastic, egocentric, and mildly entertaining are more accurate.

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mark Teahen&lt;/b&gt; just signed a three-year contract with the White Sox.  All statistical analysis aside, it’s a bad sign when you sign a guy long-term, and the best file photo the AP can find shows him popping up.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After 20 years with ESPN baseball Peter Gammons is leaving ESPN following the end of baseball’s winter meetings this week.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I love Spencer Hall.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;B is for Beast. &lt;/b&gt;The blue fur would fit. &lt;a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/8289/Ndamukong_Suh" target="_blank"&gt;Ndamukong Suh&lt;/a&gt; isn’t even supposed to be getting the sacks where he tosses &lt;a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/8525/Colt_McCoy" target="_blank"&gt;Colt McCoy&lt;/a&gt; out of the way like a pesky sandbag. By design the tackles in a Bo Pelini defense are space-eaters, not unstoppable pass-rushers capable of blowing up double-teams, falling into pass coverage to make interceptions, or side-to-side run stoppers bringing down tacklers on the edge. Ndamukong Suh horrifies and astonishes in equal parts: versus Texas he made one sack of Colt McCoy while engaged with another blocker, simply sticking his right arm out despite being held by the offensive line and bringing McCoy down with one arm. If he’s not the leading cause of death in Nebraska, he should be because he would be swift, decisive, and mostly painless.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;The House of Spears is through with you, sir. Please leave the premises.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(None of these words describe watching Nebraska’s offense, where Shawn Watson may best defend his job by saying that his attack is so bad they actually come full circle and make a form of football so bad it’s compelling. He’d be right, too.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
