Harmon’s 2017 NFL Draft First Round Dart Throws
I haven’t done 17 versions of Mock Drafts ahead of tonight’s festivities. But, I felt compelled to at least toss a couple darts in the direction of this spectacle. Because we offered up some bold predictions in my shows on FOX Sports Radio, I included trades affecting the top 6 (had to include the Jets […]
Pat White, A Corvette And Nick Saban
Earlier this week, Alabama running back Derrick Henry posted a picture on Instagram that showed off his new car. As you’d expect, the post led to rumor, conjecture and speculation in the blogosphere. Former college football star at West Virginia Pat White fueled the story with a post on Facebook. White wrote: “Stop pretending like […]
Death Attributed To Lack Of Passion Over Iron Bowl
We see a lot of strange stories flow through the inbox and across our television screens related to sports passions running wild. We see the frenzied, sign-carrying fans on “College GameDay.” The competition continues to grow with the advent of new television networks (FOX Sports 1, NBC Sports Network, CBS Sports Network), 24-7 radio networks […]
Take A Ride With Les Miles: Head On A Swivel
ESPN rolled with Les Miles as he headed to the office ahead of the big showdown with Alabama. We learn about his family’s breakfast table and that he drives like a boss. Stop. Put your head on a swivel. Barrel through that red light with a nod to “anticipation.”
More Phil Steele With The Fantasy Freaks On College Football
On Sunday, the Fantasy Freaks on FOX Sports Radio welcomed a very special guest to truly kick off football coverage for the fall of 2013.

First-Look 2014 BCS Championship Game Odds: Tide Rolls On
The dust has barely settled in Miami, where the Alabama Crimson Tide steamrolled the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to claim their third title in the past four years. It was the fourth title of Saban’s career. He’s run roughshod over the SEC since he first joined the LSU Tigers and, barring a sudden change of […]
The “D”-Word: Nick Saban and High Tide
Monday night’s BCS Championship Game was a veritable yuck-fest. Well, it was for virtually everyone except Notre Dame fans and their investors. I suspect the television ratings for the second half slid markedly, so perhaps some broadcast executives or those who booked ad space deep into the game weren’t particularly thrilled, either. At one point, […]
Vice Squad: Between The Sheets OR Betting Sheets?
I read this piece this morning and just had to extend its reach to the masses. Perhaps that was a bad line, but I thought this was a win. Frequent guest on my Sunday morning show on FOX Sports Radio, Todd Fuhrman, tossed up a column comparing two of the world’s greatest pastimes while offering […]
Taunting Penalty Draws More Than 15 Yards For Alabama Fan
You might remember the story of a man being arrested for “performing a simulated sex act on an unconscious man” following the BCS title game this past year. It made all of the rounds on sports talk radio and the evening laugh-fests. On Tuesday, Louisiana prosecutors reached a plea agreement with the perpetrator, a man […]
No. 25: Seattle Selects James Carpenter
At No. 25, Seattle drafted an offensive lineman, James Carpenter, out of Alabama. He stands nearly 6-foot-5 and weighs 320 pounds. He played at left tackle and has the physicality to slow down the bull rush off of the edge and the beef to get the ground game rolling. Does this mean that Matt Hasselbeck […]
