 Watching the Hot List on ESPNews can be a drab. Same old s**t hour after hour with maybe an update or two in between. With all the hype about the Georgia Bulldogs taking over the SEC this year it make perfect sense that Florida QB, Tim Tebow, would be their guest today.

But here’s what irked me Tim Tebow is a phenom, he’s a Sophomore that won the precious Heisman Trophy, and he’s a rushing and throwing TD-dynamo. Now ESPNews would surely ask Timmy about the Heisman (check), about UGA being the favorite (check), and umm.. yea … the 99.9% rest of the interview was about TimTebowFacts.com. So what are some Tim Tebow facts (mind you that about 20 of them were read on-air), think about all the Chuck Norris jokes you can think of and use Tim Tebow instead! Here’s a taste:

1. The NCAA declared that Tim Tebow may lose his amateur status because he is a professional ass kicker.
2. Tim Tebow can eat five times his body weight in tigers.
3. Tim Tebow can divide by zero.
4. Tim Tebow doesn’t throw up if he drinks too much. Tim Tebow throws down!
5. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could Tim Tebow? …All of it.
6. Contrary to popular belief, there is indeed enough Tim Tebow to go around.
7. Tim Tebow ordered a Big Mac at Burger King, and got one.
8. Tim Tebow once ate an entire bottle of sleeping pills. They made him blink.
9. Tim Tebow’s hand is the only hand that beats a Royal Flush.
10. Tim Tebow caught the road runner, then kicked Wil E. Coyote’s ass for being a bitch.

You can go to the website with the link above for more Tim Tebow madness. And oh by the way according to all the males in my life, Tim Tebow didn’t win the Heisman, he won the Golden Globes … nice fellas, real nice.

ps- still watching ESPNews and they’re talking about the Madden Curse and Favre. One bone-head suggests WORD FOR WORD “The Jets should get a college intern to tap into the Madden computers and stop the download of the Jets cover.” Thanks mister radio-f**k give us Jets interns more to do!!!!!!!!

There are many holidays that we celebrate no matter what religion you worship. But in sports there are only a few: Super Bowl Sunday, the NFL Draft, Daytona 500, and MLB Opening Day (and thanks to the Red Sox and A’s we can celebrate that last one at 7:37am on March 26th!!). But there is one sports holiday that is comparable to Christmas morning … The NCAA DI Men’s Basketball Brackets!! Now luckily, we get to celebrate Bracketology for a few weeks!!

I’m not a huge basketball fan, but I do watch the NBA Finals. However, I long for the day that the Brackets are announced. My family and I celebrate Bracketology in it’s traditional fashion. Place your money, submit your filled bracket, and prepare for the ultimate high of 63 blood, sweat, and tears basketball games!! Wa-hoooo!!!!!

Here is a .pdf link of ESPN’s bracket so you can celebrate Bracketology too!: 08mens_bracket.pdf

HAPPY BRACKETOLOGY 2008!! & Go Longhorns!!!

 The recent wildfires in the state of California have affected teams in more ways than you think. Most of the public is aware that the NFL’s San Diego Chargers have been forced to practice in the Arizona Cardinals facilities. And right now it stands that the Chargers will play the Houston Texans in San Diego, but Commissioner Goodell and team representatives are discussing a change of venue, or date. Some options include: playing the game in Los Angeles, Arizona State’s Sun Devil Stadium, Texas Stadium in Dallas or Reliant Stadium, the Texans’ home field. On the collegiate side the BYU v. San Diego State college football game has been rescheduled because Qualcomm Stadium is being used as an evacuation center. Much like the Superdome was used during Hurricane Katrina. According to recent reports some SDSU athletes have visited Qualcomm to pass out blankets and food to evacuees. Times like these make the public aware that not everything in life centers around sports, and that sometimes we need to put sports on hold and take care of life.

Jim Boheim is still the Head Coach of the Syracuse Orange Men’s Basketball team. However, when he retires the University already has his successor bound to a contract. Mike Hopkins has signed a contract that will be effective once Boheim retires. SU personally allowed Boheim to pick his successor, and Hopkins was a no-brainer. Hopkins said that the position is a “dream-job.” But I guess he’ll have to keep sleeping another couple years.

College Football was full of upsets this Saturday: OU, Texas, Rutgers, Oregon, Clemson and Penn State, they all lost. And to who … Colorado, Kansas State, Maryland, California, Georgia Tech, and Illinois. College Football won’t be the typical who’s gonna finish 17-0. It will be a race of who will have the least embarrassing loss.

By the end of today either Michigan or Notre Dame will be 0-3. Neither team has anything to lose, but all to gain. Michigan RB Mike Hart has guaranteed victory for the Wolverines, but can they pull it off?
