More on WWE's "Setting The Record Straight" campaign: The WWE drug testing program in Dr. David Black and Vince McMahon's own words
I realized this morning that I omitted some very interesting stuff in the steroid part of last night's post about WWE's "Setting The Record Straight" campaign. Specifically, I'm referring to Dr. David Black's (the drug testing program administrator) Congressional interview (PDF) and the parts of...
Former Redskin Clint Didier on a Mission to Save America
When I called Clint out of the blue last night, he was on his farm fields moving hay and alfalfa that had got blown around from a rain they got. Clint didn't hesitate for a second to continue the interview. For the youngters, Clint Didier was a 12th round draft pick by the Redskins in 1981. He...
Kyle Gets Contrary: The BCS Is Better Than a College Football Playoff
I count myself a Matt Hinton fan, despite my disapproval of a Southern Miss fan rooting against Brett Favre. (I admit, however, that I am biased against the Saints, since I grew up near the hometown of the Falcons, who number New Orleans among their rivals, largely because both teams have been...
Kyle Gets Conciliatory: An Encouraging Word About Boise State's Place at the Table
The recent Congressional hearings on the Bowl Championship Series are as unlikely to produce anything except talk as the Congressional hearings on steroid use in major league baseball, but give the grandstanding representatives their due: they did produce talk, at least. One of the more poignant...
Congress Doesn't Seem to Like Golf Much
First, Congress didn't include golf course in the bill that responded to the devastation from Hurricane Katrina. Ok, there are more important things to rebuilding a city than golf courses. I can live with that. But, I was kind of offended when it was classified in the same category as casinos...

Sorry if it seems like I'm hammering on the BCS too much lately, but it's a central issue to college football and it pertains to the SEC. Also, warning: long. As the dust settles from last week's Congressional hearings, folks are moving away from critiquing the participants. The subject of the way...
Kyle Gets Contrary: Congress, the B.C.S., and the Virtue of Being Elitist
It is no secret to anyone that I am staunch in my opposition to a Division I-A college football playoff in any form whatsoever. It is, I hope, also no secret to anyone that I give mid-majors their due when casting my BlogPoll ballot and when welcoming our new Boise State blogger to SB Nation. In...
BCS + Congress = Poor Logic
"Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." -Mark Twain For the first time ever, I programmed by DVR to record something on C-SPAN, and the BCS hearing did not disappoint. The cognitive dissonance coming out of current BCS chairman and ACC...
Congress Takes on the Biggest Problem in America Today: The BCS
Chrysler in bankruptcy. General Motors barely hanging on. Unemployment up, and the world-wide economy is shrinking. In Afghanistan, the Taliban is making a comeback. Schools and businesses are closing over swine flu. The actions of the previous administration are being investigated whether...
As the BCS Fight Turns
The BCS, summed up in one picture. But it was supposed to be fun, we swear! The BCS meetings are going on right now, and it's the MWC's turn to present a playoff proposal. Florida president Bernie Machen presented one to the SEC after the 2006 season, and Georgia president Michael Adams called...
