Texas Longhorns Get Richer By Doing Things The Right Way

2012-02-02T17:06:00.000-08:00

It has been a few years since Mack Brown and his Texas Longhorns have played in a National Championship, but that has not slowed down the Texas Longhorns. Yes, Longhorn fans have not been happy with results in the last few years, but the Longhorns have done things the right way. They have kept Mack Brown on as coached when some wanted him to go. How has Mack Brown paid back the faith in him? The Texas Longhorns have the second best recruiting class behind only Alabama in 2012. What does this mean for Longhorn fans? It simply means the Texas Longhorns are going to be a factor in the National Championship picture the next few years.

Texas was able to land two 5-star recruits and 14 4-star recruits. One name Longhorn fans want to pay close attention to is Johnathan Gray. He is a running back with great speed and had almost 4,000 yards rushing and he scored 65 TD's in his senior season. Those are some amazing numbers and he is bringing that talent to Texas to thrill Longhorn fans. Texas has had some down years lately, but they have stayed the course and now they are reaping the rewards. Look for the Texas Longhorns to be one of the teams that could surprise in 2012. With the bumper crop of talent coming in and what is already there we could be hearing Hookem Horns a lot in 2012 and beyond.

Is Andrew Luck Pushing Peyton Manning Out The Door?

2012-02-02T16:08:00.000-08:00

Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck most likely will be the choice of the Indianapolis Colts and he has made it cleared he would like to start as a rookie. Now he also said that he would like to learn from Peyton Manning as well. Well, Andrew Luck you really cannot have it both ways. Could Andrew Luck's desire to start push Peyton Manning out of Indianapolis? It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Today, Peyton Manning was cleared to start playing again, so that should complicate it even more. The Colts could have two very good quarterbacks, but only room for one player. This reminds me a lot about the same situation like they had in Green Bay. Brett Favre was eventually let go and I think that is what will happen to Peyton Manning. Andrew Luck is younger and the Colts will look at their future and Peyton will not be around forever. As much as it pains me to say this I just do not see Peyton Manning finishing his career in Indy!

What Has Happen To My Pro Wrestling?

2012-02-02T10:48:00.000-08:00

Okay I will admit I am one of those professional wrestling junkies from way back. I watched Georgia Championship Wrestling every Saturday Night when it was on. Yes, this post may not be as sports related as I usually talked about, but I wanted to talk about the decline of this once popular sport. OMG did I just call it a sport. Okay, sports entertainment is the more proper term as do not want to offend anyone. I have over the years watched professional wrestling go downhill and it looks like there is no end in sight.

During the peak of Professional Wrestling stars like Hulk Hogan, Randy "Macho Man" Savage, Superstar Billy Graham, and Ric Flair were megastars. Most of these have retired or died, and some just do not wrestle anymore. Of course there was a lot of names I did not mention and in the comments mention your favorite wrestler as I would love to know who you cheered for. Fast forward today and you have professional wrestling without the stars anymore. The wrestlers like The Undertaker, and Triple H are just getting to old to do it anymore.

The WWE and others have struggled to find those big name stars that fans have come to expect from them. Fans instead are being treated to wrestlers way passed their prime and that is a shame. During the 80's and 90's when wrestling was at it's peak new faces could always be found, but that is not the case anymore. Yes, professional wrestling is in decline and I do not think it will ever get back to where it once was anytime soon.

Jim Tressel Lands Job In Akron As An Administrator

2012-02-02T10:15:00.000-08:00

Jim Tressel has found another job, but not the kind that we may all think. Tressel who resigned from Ohio State will be taking a job with the University of Akron as an Administrator. Tressel has been hired as vice president for strategic engagement and will earn a base salary of $200,000 per year. The job starts May. 1 and he will be working with alumni, community organizations and friends of the school to develop strategies and efforts to help students succeed.

It is a non-athletic position and should be a good move for Jim Tressel. I do hope he does get back into coaching at some point as he was a good football coach. He made some bad decisions and that really hurt him. Getting a fresh start is what he needed and starting somewhere else is a good idea for him. Hopefully, somewhere down the road we will see him again on the football field coaching.

Danica Patrick Should Earn A Spot Not Be Given One

2012-02-01T15:31:00.000-08:00

After I read about Danica Patrick and how she got her spot in the Daytona 500 I find myself not really happy the way it went down. I mean yes they bought there spot and that is legal under Nascar rules. I just do not think it is fair to other drivers trying to make the field. Yes, people will say they could have bought the spot, but most do not have the backing or that kind of money. If they want to get into the Daytona 500 they must race in. This is what Danica Patrick should have been forced to do as well. I am against people buying spots into this race.

Nascar has gotten away from a level playing field and that is why one-car teams have very little chance for success these days. Rickey Rudd found out how tough it was even with a good sponsor. Earning your spot in the big show is how it should be done. Dancia Patrick may have qualified anyways, but I still would have liked to see her earn it. Buying spots because you have deep pockets in my opinion is just wrong in my opinion.

Aaron Rodgers Calls Out His NFC Pro Bowl team!

2012-02-01T15:30:00.000-08:00

I knew I liked Aaron Rodgers for many reasons, but calling out his NFC Pro Bowl was a great move in my opinion. As fans we all know when it comes to the AFC-NFC Pro Bowl rarely do players run or play all-out for the fans. Even though fans pay top dollars for tickets all season long players look at this game as a game they do not have to play hard in. I give Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers credit for calling out his team. Most players would just let it go, but at least he addressed it. This was a long time coming and he should be applauded for it.

The AFC routed the NFC 59-41 in a game that drew boos at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu and for good reason. Fans as a whole are getting tired of players not go all out. The problem is there really is no easy solution to the problem. Players will not play all out in these kinds of games, as it always has been that way and it won't change anytime soon. I guess it's just something we will have to continue to deal with as fans, and it looks like players too. At least Aaron Rodgers stood up and said something, as he could have swept it under the rug, but he didn't.

The Bulls are very good and the 76ers are a team that have been playing very well this season. Indiana and Minnesota is another match-up to keep your eyes on. I really like what the Pacers are doing this season and Minnesota is another team that have won some games that I thought they would lose. Some interesting games for all NBA fans to watch tonight.

Will Dwight Howard Help A Team Win A Championship This Year?

2012-02-01T11:55:00.000-08:00

Being an Orlando Magic fan I've had a floor seat to watch Dwight Howard through the years and I must say many things come to mind. Dwight wants to win an NBA Championship, and wants out of Orlando to do it. Now I will admit I will agree with Dwight he should be shipped out of Orlando and at times has not got the support of his teammates like he should. Yes, he has a right to rip his teammates privately, but never in a public forum.

Now no matter where Dwight Howard gets traded I highly doubt he will win an NBA Championship anytime soon. Unless he goes to Chicago or Miami I just do not see that in his future right now. Dwight needs to work on his foul shooting as in a half court game that will be his downfall. He also must understand this is a team game and needs to play that way. Yes, Dwight Howard has tons of talent, but talent will only take you so far in the NBA.

The teams that win NBA Championships understand it still is a team game and you must play as a team. Someone will be trading for Dwight Howard, but until he learns to play with others in a team setting he is doomed to repeat his failures in Orlando. It will be interesting to see where he lands and how much he can help someone. I do not think he will help any team win a championship this year though.

UnderTaker Is Back And Triple HHH Does Not Seem Happy!

2012-02-01T04:33:00.000-08:00

I really thought Undertaker would return at the Royal Rumble, but he has made back to Raw and Triple HHH did not seem thrilled with it. In the clip below you can see Triple HHH reaction to The Deadman reappearing once again. I think that we will see The Undertaker in Wrestlemania, but against who is the question. Many different names have been floating around, but the one thing we do know The Undertaker is back and that cannot be good for the WWE Universe.

What Do The Colts Do With Peyton Manning?

2012-02-01T04:13:00.000-08:00

The Indianapolis Colts have a tough decision on their shoulders these days. Do they keep Peyton Manning or save money and cut him loose? A roster bonus is due Peyton Manning soon, so they will make that decision soon. Manning has indicated he will be ready to play this coming season, but the Colts also plan on drafting Andrew Luck out of Stanford as well. This means decision time will be tough for the Irsay family and the Colts. Peyton has been like a son to them and cutting him loose can be a double edged sword for this organization.

The decision will basically come down to one thing for the Colts do they want to start a new era or are they happy with the old one. When they fired their coach they could be leaning towards a new era which would mean Andrew Luck. If the Colts go that direction they will have part of their fan base that will not be very happy. The only way they would not would be if Luck brought them a Super Bowl. In my opinion, I think they should keep Peyton Manning, but only time will tell how this will work out. No matter what, it is a tough decision for the Irsay's to have to make.

Dwight Howard Calls Out Teammates Just As He Should

2012-01-28T03:53:00.000-08:00

Many people wonder why Dwight Howard wants to leave Orlando and the answer is really simple he wants to win a NBA Championship. He will never do that in Orlando as the cast around him could care less. Last night was another prime example of it. After blowing a 20 plus lead to the Celtics the night before Orlando gets blown out by a New Orleans team that had been struggling. Dwight Howard lit into his teammates just as he should.

Here is what Dwight had to say about his teammates:

“It hurts to get out there and you play your hardest and you expect everybody to play the same way, and I’m not calling anybody out by no means because we all have to get better … but if you don’t want to be out there, don’t dress up,” Howard said. “If you don’t want to play, stay home. People work too hard. I want to win a championship. I work too hard every night for anybody to not want to go out there and play hard. …

Now Dwight Howard 28 points and 16 rebounds, but was the only player in double figures in any statistic for the Magic. This is why Dwight Howard wants out of Orlando and it has been this way for a number of years now. He is frustrated and wants to play with guys who want to show up every night. You really cannot blame Dwight Howard anymore for wanting out!

2012-01-27T14:36:00.000-08:00

Joe Pa Saying Goodbye To A Legend

2012-01-26T04:34:00.000-08:00

With the death of Joe Paterno College Football has lost a legendary figure of it's sport. Paterno coached being accountable for things and in his final days Joe Paterno was still upbeat. What will the world write about Joe Paterno after he is gone many years? I know that he will always be considered one of the greatest coaches of all-time. No matter the circumstances that surrounded his firing he was a hell of a football coach. Ask any player who ever played for him and they will tell you countless stories on how he touched their lives.

Maybe the way Joe Paterno should be best remembered is through all the players lives he has touched. He has had some great players that have done great things on and off the field. People tend to think Joe Paterno was all about football. Yes, it was a big part of his life, but it was much more than that for him. He was proud of how many players went on to do great things with their lives. Not every player is an NFL player and Paterno understood this very well.

He taught about life after football and why your studies was so important. Maybe JoePa's biggest mark was not in college football but how many lives he changed for the better.

Lebron James In Regular Season A Proven Winner

2012-01-21T07:43:00.000-08:00

Lebron James did his best to show people he is dedicated to winning and doing what it takes to get that win. Last night against the Lakers James battled the flu to toss in 31 points, eight rebounds and eight assists for a 98-87 win over Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers.

No matter what people say about Lebron James he is a force on the basketball court when he puts his mind to it. James in my opinion is a much tougher player when he does not have a good supporting cast around him. He is forced to do more and this is where he excels. James at times can be lazy and that is his main problem. With Wade and Bosh on the team he many times will just stand around and watch.

For the Lakers they have many issues and one of those is playing hard for 48 minutes. They have parts of games where they play good, but you must do this for 48 minutes if you want to win in this league. Besides Kobe Bryant the Lakers have really not done much as a team. There road record is bad and they need to get it turned around very soon.

Are The New York Giants For Real?

2012-01-18T04:51:00.000-08:00

After the New York Giants sat 7-7 after an ugly loss to the Washington Redskins I thought that was the end for the Giants. The resourceful G-Men though never gave up and you can look right at their head coach Tom Coughlin for that. Coughlin was already fired and out the door at season's end, but now he has his Giants playing with confidence and one win away from another Super Bowl appearance. Like him or hate him Tom Coughlin knows what he is doing.

Right now the New York Giants are playing some of the best football in the National Football League. They have a good offense and a great defense at times. They have plenty of confidence and will not wilt under the pressure. New York went to Green bay and took it to the Packers which no one thought was possible. I know one thing people better stop doubting the New York Giants because they are for real.

Ravens, Giants Claim Big Playoff Wins

2012-01-16T05:42:00.000-08:00

The Baltimore Ravens knew beating the Houston Texans would not be easy and it wasn't. The Ravens needed four turnovers from their defense to get the 20-13 win over the Houston Texans. It may not have been the best looking win, but when have the Ravens cared about how they get a win. In their book a win is a win and they are moving on. They need one more win and they can be in the Super Bowl once again. That win will be tough as they take on the New England Patriots.

Everyone had the Green Bay Packers back in the Super Bowl, but someone forgot to tell the New York Giants. The Giants used a swarming defense and Eli Manning continued to play big in the Playoffs as the Giants dethroned the defending champions 37-20. Green Bay had chances, but made a lot of mistakes in the game. Give the Giants credit they are on a roll like now and a team that could probably beat anyone because they are talented. I guess we will have to wait and see if they can keep this roll going in San Francisco.

49ers, Patriots Move On In NFL Playoffs

2012-01-15T05:29:00.000-08:00

The New Orleans Saints and the San Francisco 49ers gave the NFL one of the best games in the post-season so far. After falling behind to the 49ers 17-0 the Saints battled back all game long. In the fourth quarter it was a back and forth game with little defense played. In the end, the San Francisco 49ers were able to come away with a thrilling 36-32 win over the game New Orleans Saints. It's a shame one of these two teams had to lose as both played well.

In the other game it was marketed as Tim Tebow vs Tom Brady if that was the case it was not much of a match-up. Tom Brady showed why he is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL by throwing six touchdown passes to an easy 45-10 win over the Broncos. Tebow struggled and was sacked numerous times. The Patriots play well at home and when Brady plays well the Patriots are very hard to stop.

Tim Tebow Most Popular Sports Star You Got To Be Kidding

2012-01-12T16:24:00.001-08:00

Yes, ESPN did a survey and Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow top the list as the favorite male athlete. Now that really should not come as a surprise considering everywhere you turn it's about Tim Tebow. Now don't get me wrong he has done a good job in Denver and people like to see a guy like Tebow succeed. Just as many though are also rooting against Tim Tebow it's just how it works in sports. Tim Tebow will continue to ride this popularity as long as the Broncos continue to win.

People will drop you quickly if you make a mistake, say something wrong,or stop winning. Just ask Michael Vick about that one. He was probably one of the most popular playerss when he was in Atlanta, but dog fighting charges ended all that for him. Tebow must keep his nose clean and watch what he says and does in the future. If he can do that and win a few games a long the way it maybe a while be fore he is unseated as the most popular sports star.

Lebron James Still Trying To Learn How To Close Out Games

2012-01-12T10:17:00.000-08:00

Everyone knows Lebron James is a two-time League MVP, and one of the best in the NBA. This does not matter as people will always find things wrong with your game. Maybe the one area James has yet to fixed is his ability to close out games. The good ones all have it from Magic to Bird and Jordan to Kobe. For James though this has alluded him and must be fixed.

Last night he had a chance to fix his inner demons and could not close it out for the Heat at the free throw line. If he did he could start to get the tag of not being able to close games off his back. Instead he missed free throws and the Heat lost in overtime to the Clippers. No matter your greatness you have to close the deal and right now that is something that Lebron James has not learned how to do.

Hue Jackson Given The Boot In Oakland

2012-01-11T04:42:00.000-08:00

Even with Al Davis gone it does not mean the Oakland Raiders will stop doing weird things. After Hue Jackson guided the Oakland Raiders to an 8-8 season he was promptly fired by new GM Reggie Mckenzie in a weird move. The Raiders have been about instability in recent years and it looks like that trend will continue in the distant future. McKenzie and owner Mark Davis will both be in on the search for a new coach.

According to Reggie McKenzie they wanted to start fresh and with a new coach. I guess that is as good of an excuse as any. Firing a guy who got the Raiders to 8-8 makes really no sense considering it was Jackson's first year. It's the Oakland Raiders and they have always been dysfunctional and it looks like that will continue into the future.

Walgreens Prescription Savings Club Helping Customers Out Of A Tough Situation

2012-01-11T01:01:00.001-08:00

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Sometimes customers are put in a tough situation, and finding the best solution is not always easy. This is where many Walgreens customers find themselves with the Express Scripts program right now. Express Scripts program acts as an intermediary between the pharmacy and providing health care service for employers and health plans who pay for medications. Walgreens and Express Script has tried to negotiate a new contract, but no deal could be reached. This means as of Jan 1, 2012 Walgreens no longer was a part of the Express Scripts pharmacy provider network. This has displaced many patients whom now must find another provider if they are part of the Express Scripts program.

This changed has affected many Walgreens customers and they are scrambling to figure out what to do. Many people are being forced to travel longer distances now to get their prescriptions filled. Others are losing a pharmacist that they have known for many years. Even the American Military could be put in the middle of Express Scripts changes and Walgreens tried to work out a deal with Express Scripts, but it was rejected.

With all the changes, Walgreens has stepped forward to help Express Scripts program customers. They have introduced the Walgreens Prescription Savings Club at a special discount on an annual membership. For $10 a year, a family membership covers everyone in your immediate family, including spouse and dependents 22 and younger. If you are an individual, it will only cost you $5.00. By joining today, you can get it at a great price and get discount prices on prescriptions. Discounts on flu shots, pet prescriptions, and other medications as well are some benefits you will enjoy. Readers should show support of Walgreens on Facebook and follow Walgreens on Twitter. It is great that a company is stepping forward to help their customers when a problem arises.

Barry Larkin Rides Glove Into Cooperstown

2012-01-10T10:50:00.000-08:00

Barry Larkin was a natural at shortstop. He had the range, and could make hard plays look routine. Barry also was an excellent hitter as well helping the Cincinnati Reds to the 1990 World Series. Larkin numbers were also very good as a hitter. He hit .295 with 198 home runs, 960 RBIs, 2,340 hits and 379 stolen bases. A 12-time All-Star, he won the 1995 NL MVP award, three Gold Gloves and the 1990 World Series. Larkin deserves his spot in Cooperstown. The finally vote tally is listed below.

Final AP College Football Poll 1-10-2012

2012-01-10T10:36:00.000-08:00

Well the final AP College Football Poll is out until the summer, but in the end it has some interesting things to look at. Now we all know Alabama is No.1 I think they proved that to everyone in the country without a doubt. Number two though could be debated for some time to come. Some people feel LSU does not belong, but I think they do. With what they have accomplished they should be two. Oklahoma State should be three and my only beef is South Carolina. I think they should have been higher ranked.

Tim Tebow Shocks His Critics With Winning Performance Against the Steelers

2012-01-09T04:25:00.000-08:00

Tim Tebow has played on many big stages before, so he knows what to expect. Against the Pittsburgh Steelers everyone thought Tebow would struggle against the leagues no.1 defense, but that was not the case. Tebow threw for over 300 yards and connected on a touchdown pass in overtime to give the Broncos a 29-23 win. I will be the first to admit I did not give the Broncos or Tebow much of a chance that's for sure.

The Broncos run the ball well and passed even better against a Pittsburgh defense that looked old and tired. The Steelers had their chances, but did not make the most of them. You have to credit the Broncos and Tim Tebow with the Steelers having an off-night I guess. No matter what Tebow-mania will keep moving for at least another day it seems. People love Tim Tebow and he sure did not hurt his stock any with yesterday's performance that's for sure.
