Just Wait Until Football Season!
November is right in the middle of football season, right? I’m assuming it was November when this mental specimen was elected. You laugh, but I’d actually like to encourage Congress to spend more time doing stuff like this and less time, you know, legislating. We can limit their damage by relegating them to doing school [...]

A Press Conference About Football? On a Monday?
Tony Basilio is reporting on air that Phil Fulmer will hold a press conference at 5:00 today at Neyland Stadium to announce he will not be returning as head coach next year. More coming, I’m sure. **UPDATE** This is probably a pretty smart move tax-wise. With the probably tax rate on his income next year, [...]
Is Fulmer Gone For Real Now?
Tony Basilio is reporting on the air that University of Tennessee Athletic Director Mike Hamilton has requested a meeting with Jimmy Sexton, who is Phil Fulmer’s agent. This apparently signals an official move to end the Phil Fulmer error era at UT. According to Basilio, neither camp is going to confirm this, at least not [...]
Tennessee Football–What I’d Do
Actually, it’s what I’d do in just about any situation. I’ll be the first to admit I don’t know much about football at all. I mean, I played for 10 years, but most of the teams I played on weren’t very good, so it’s safe to assume that most of what I learned was wrong [...]
The Phillip Fulmer Show
I didn’t see much of the game yesterday, but I’m sitting here now enjoying Phil Fulmer’s stoicism on his show. It’s amusing. You know, when you use the phrase “Chad had a fantastic second half”, and Chad is your punter, things can’t be too good on offense. Punters on good teams don’t have the opportunity [...]
It’s Halftime. Can Fulmer be Fired Midgame?
I’m admittedly only halfway watching the Tennessee/Florida game, but what I’ve seen is atrocious. It looks like I stopped caring about college football a few years too early. I should have waited until this year to jump off the bandwagon. Every fan deserves at least one season of pure agony, right? I’m not talking about [...]
Fire Fulmer! Redux
Here that? That’s the muffled sound of cars running in closed garages all over East Tennessee. There are big problems in the area. Well, big problems unless you advertise on sports radio here and want your ad heard in between the “Fire Fulmer” calls. It seems like I wrote this exact post exactly one year [...]
Let’s Call it Two Million Hundred Dollars
Maybe that would have been an easier PR sell for the UT Athletic Department. Then they’d only be dealing with hundreds of dollars instead of millions. That may be a little easier for people to swallow. And this facility is used how many times a year? Seven? Let’s be generous and call it ten since [...]
Instant Replay in Major League Baseball?
Yeah. That’s the real problem with baseball. It’s not their looking the other way with steroids a la the WWE. It’s not the designated hitter (why not have 9 offensive player and 9 defensive players?). The problem is that there is no instant replay? George Will is a lot smarter than me, and he’s way [...]
