Tinker:
Maybe we can one day get rid of the TV announcers altogether in broadcasting a college football game. Because I am really sick and tired of hearing them distract away from the football game itself. The TV announcers are very irritating for people who really enjoy college football games just the way they are played. Who needs a TV announcer anyway?
We can always tell when the enemy ( television announcers ) are getting closer to running out of things to say about why we should be listening to them to begin with. We start hearing stories about someone sex life, or looking at what ingenious argument can be created between the announcers and sports personality's. Some foolish effort to create news from the TV announcers. Because the TV network thinks that we the TV viewers needs that sort of thing, for better TV ratings.
I use to liked the movie advertisement about the old time picture shows in neighborhood theaters, showing the words, Thrills!, Spill's!, with the music that also backed up the advertisement of the coming movie attractions. Get ready to see the Thriller!
Like;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?
ha ha ha. Did you hear that catchy tune with the skeleton, and how the monster comes to life?
Or! When how we started seeing the movie about Frankenstein for yourself, and how thankfully Hollywood had better technicality.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?
But now all I feel is insulted by the Television Networks. They simply don't have what it takes to entertain us like they did back then. They must be very lazy people working in the entertainment business now. They have all of the best resources that the world has ever seen, and yet they can't even please me, much less make a very good show anymore?
I keep feeling like you and me could do a better job with the tools that they have. I'm very curious about that.

Irish QB Gunner Kiel to transfer

Notre Dame QB Gunner Kiel To Transfer

The website Irish Sports Daily earlier reported that Kiel would transfer.
Notre Dame had no comment. A message left for Kiel's father, Kip, was not returned.
A four-star quarterback from the Class of 2012, Kiel drew notoriety for his recruitment after defecting from both Indiana and LSU.

Redshirt freshman Everett Golson won the starting job last fall, with junior Tommy Rees seeing extensive playing time, too.
During his last meeting with reporters on Jan. 5, Kiel said the thought of transferring had not crossed his mind.
"It honestly hasn't," he said during media day at Sun Life Stadium. "I've been more focused on the season and been more focused on school and other things that are more important to me."
Redshirt sophomore Andrew Hendrix was ahead of Kiel on the depth chart last year as well, and Notre Dame welcomed in another quarterback this semester in early enrollee Malik Zaire.
"Anything could happen," Kiel said Jan. 5. "[Golson] could go to the NFL -- you never know. He could also get hurt, other people could get hurt -- there's so many doors that could be opened that I just have to be patient, just wait my turn, wait to get better."
"I'm gonna try, but he's a great quarterback," he added when asked about unseating Golson this spring. "He's going to lead this team and he's going to keep getting better, so I just need to keep getting better and learn from him, and also learn from coach [Brian] Kelly and just try to keep getting better each year."
After spurning LSU at the 11th hour last January to enroll early at Notre Dame, Kiel drew sharp criticism from LSU coach Les Miles, who questioned the heart of Kiel at the Tiger Gridiron Club's annual national signing day "Bayou Bash" in Baton Rouge, La.
"There was a gentleman from Indiana that thought about coming to the Bayou state," Miles said. "He did not necessarily have the chest and the ability to lead a program, so you know."
Kiel took the high road whenever asked about Miles.
"Once he said it, I don't blame him at all -- I was dumb during the recruiting process," Kiel said Jan. 5. "I couldn't really make up my mind, but I was also doing what was best for me at that time, and that was picking a college. That much pressure and being so highly ranked, I couldn't make up my mind.
"It was hard, but I'm very happy with the decision I made, and I've always respected Coach Miles. I'm not going to throw him under the bus, because I think he's a great coach. Everything he stands for, I think, is great. He's a winning coach. There's nothing more to say. I can't take back what I did, so I respect Coach Miles and everything he stands for."

Saban looks to dip back into the Bayou
March, 6, 2013
By
Chris Low | ESPN.com
No rivalry in college football the past few years has had a greater impact on the national championship race than Alabama versus LSU.
Between them, they've won four of the past six national championships, and they squared off against each other in the BCS National Championship Game in 2011.
On the field, it's been about as intense as it gets, and look for that intensity to only ratchet up a few notches on the recruiting trail over the next 10 or 11 months.
The state of Louisiana is absolutely loaded for the 2014 class, and Alabama coach Nick Saban has his sights set on several of the top prospects from the Bayou. Mike Herndon of AL.com had an excellent piece earlier this week on the impending recruiting battle between Alabama and LSU.
Both schools know a little something about acquiring and developing premium talent. LSU sent 13 players to the NFL combine last month and has had 17 players drafted over the past three years. Alabama sent 10 players to the recent combine and has had 20 players drafted over the past three years.
Recruits choose schools for all sorts of reasons, but I still contend that one of the main factors for the most coveted prospects is finding a school they think will best aid them in their pursuit of an NFL career.
The top prize in Louisiana (and maybe the country) in 2014 is running back Leonard Fournette of New Orleans. The 6-foot, 215-pound Fournette is scheduled to visit Alabama unofficially this weekend along with his high school teammate, cornerback Jermaine Roberts, who's also been offered by Alabama.
For those who love recruiting, sit back and enjoy because the battle for Fournette should be epic. LSU's not about to let a talent of his caliber get out of the state. That said, Saban still has plenty of clout in Louisiana. He got top safety Landon Collins out of Geismar, La., in the 2012 class.
Over and above Fournette, offensive tackle Cameron Robinson of West Monroe, La., and safety Laurence Jones of Monroe, La., could also end up being Alabama-LSU battles.
So we won't have to wait until Nov. 9 in Tuscaloosa to watch these two juggernauts go at it again. They're already slugging it out on the recruiting trail.

Journal Sentinel sports columnist Bob Wolfley offers his take on the local and national sports scene.
Former Packers' fullback Jim Taylor counts his health blessings
By Bob Wolfley of the Journal Sentinel
March 6, 2013
In the last few years there have been several
accounts of former National Football League players who later in life
face health issues that are, or are believed to be, a result of their
playing careers.
But former Packers fullback Jim Taylor, now 77, is not in that group.
"I have zero of those issues," Taylor said during a telephone interview on Wednesday. "I have none. I have not had any procedures on my whole body from the game of football. No (problems with) ankles, knees, hips, shoulders or back. I’m still pretty active. I take care of my health. . . . I have always been relatively thin. I think I am very fortunate and very lucky and very blessed that I had no injuries that I have to be concerned with."
Inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1976, Taylor listed at 6-0, 216 during his playing days. He played for Green Bay from 1958 to ’66 and for New Orleans in 1967.
We asked Taylor about the topic of player safety, which has become an emphasis in the NFL.
"The game has not changed since I played," Taylor said. "It’s still a contact sport. It’s still an aggressive game. But if it is played as it should be played, with not a lot of cheap shots and illegal type of plays, this would minimize the concussion ratios and other kinds of injuries."
Taylor was asked if he was disappointed that the NFL game today is more about the pass than it is about the run, which was not the case when he played in Green Bay.
"You have to have some balance with the run and pass," Taylor said. "You may not agree with that . . . but that is what occurred when Lombardi came to Green Bay. Those teams win championships."
On Thursday, in Taylor’s hometown of Baton Rouge, La., he is to be part of a program organized by the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Allstate Insurance which honors players in their hometowns. Taylor, a graduate of LSU, is to address an assembly at the Baton Rouge Magnet High School.

Todd McShay's Mock Draft 3.0
March, 6, 2013
By
Edward Aschoff | ESPN.co
The NFL draft is creeping closer and closer, and now that pro days are
sprouting up all around the country, it's time to check in on what
resident draft guru Todd McShay has to say about next month's draft.
His new mock draft is out and the SEC has quite a few familiar faces inside the first 32 picks of the draft, especially within the top 10.
Texas A&M left tackle Luke Joeckel is the highest-slotted SEC player, checking in at No. 2 to the Jacksonville Jaguars. A word of advice for Joeckel: Sunscreen!
The SEC then takes picks No. 3 and No. 4, with Florida defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd, who really has shot up draft boards in recent weeks, going No. 3 to the Oakland Raiders, and Alabama cornerback Dee Milliner going fourth to the Philadelphia Eagles. And he has LSU defensive end Barkevious Mingo going ninth to the New York Jets.
Former SEC players took 12 of the the first 32 picks in McShay's mock draft.
Here's where SEC players landed:
2. Luke Joeckel, LT, Texas A&M -- Jacksonville Jaguars
3. Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida -- Oakland Raiders
4. Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama -- Philadelphia Eagles
9. Barkevious Mingo, DE, LSU -- New York Jets
14. Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri -- Carolina Panthers
15. Alec Ogletree, LB, Georgia -- New Orleans Saints
17. Jarvis Jones, LB, Georgia -- Pittsburgh Steelers
18. Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama -- Dallas Cowboys
20. Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee -- Chicago Bears
21. D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama -- Cincinnati Bengals
26. John Jenkins, DT, Georiga -- Green Bay Packers
27. Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee -- Houston Texans
