Gus Malzahn’s offense has been THE biggest huge risk / huge reward proposition in all of college football the past six seasons. Word is, that’s about to change. Source to ESPN: “The O.C. will be in charge of the offense.” When Gus has the correct quarterback there was a definite, decided Xs and Os advantage…… More
…that is great news for everybody else. College football in the state of Texas is at its worst in 50 years. This is the first time since 1967 that no team from the state, none of the current TWELVE Division-1 programs, finished the season ranked. Which means it’s a great time for LSU, Bama, Florida…… More
Clemson is the NCAA National Champion and no Bama player, coach, fan or anyone else should have any regrets about it. I can’t say “The better team won” because with these two there was nothing that definitive. But Clemson . . . and Deshaun . . . showed they were every bit as deserving, worthy and…… More
Deshaun Watson throws too many interceptions and that will decide the national championship game tonight. This is simply the WRONG secondary to make that kind of mistake with. You only get 11 or 12 possessions in a game so losing one or two is bad enough, but with Alabama it’s just as likely to be…… More
I’m a kinder, gentler King these days, and the proof is a local announcement that I KNOW I would have felt the complete opposite about five years ago. The Atlanta Hawks are retiring Pete Maravich’s 44 – good for him and good for the franchise. Reality is many, MANY of the folks who read this won’t have an…… More
The company Matt Ryan now keeps, locally, is the shortest of Short Lists. It’s time to declare: Matt Ryan is the greatest Atlanta Falcon ever. By the early 2000s we started talking the same thing re: Chipper Jones being in the discussion as the greatest Atlanta Brave ever. By 2002-ish, 2003, Chipper – already with…… More
Bama’s change yesterday at O.C. was 100% Nick Saban’s doing and it’s something we’ve never seen from him. Not firing a coach in-season, especially seven days before a national championship game. Bigger picture applies here – I can’t remember Nick Saban ever creating, all on his own, a distraction for his team. Almost always it’s…… More
One headline about the Georgia program I’d make a slight adjustment to. “Dawgs Lose Key Offensive Weapon to Draft”. “Dawgs lose key special teams weapon” is actually far more accurate! There’s been plenty of talk about the change to the blocking scheme up front, despite Kirby showing some flexibility and using the previous zone approach…… More
FALCONS HAVE REASON TO CELEBRATE PROGRESS! I’ve grown tired of the people who are demanding a playoff victory to validate this Falcons season as “progress”. I know that they are currently only 8-5 and have just matched last seasons win total, but I see so much more. During that tremendous beat down of the Rams…… More
OXON HILL, MD – Today, the 2016 MLB Winter Meetings will come to a close. Over the last 4 days, all 30 MLB teams have been represented at the Gaylord National Harbor Hotel just across the Potomac River from Washington DC. The tradition of baseball teams getting together to address business during the winter actually…… More
