Yellowhammer politics at their finest!
May 25th, 2016 | Alabama college football, Satire | Willie | No Comments
Nothing gets the ticket-buying, cable-watching public more excited than when the drama hits Desperate Housewives levels, be it Louisville getting accused of running a brothel in its athletic dorm or questions being raised about the alleged barbaric atmosphere allowed to exist at Baylor–a politically-correct, high-moral institution which is too smart to tell its critics to [...]

The Truth of the “Moon Over Manning” Incident
March 28th, 2016 | Football, Satire | Willie | No Comments
Peyton Manning could have been kidnapped by Islamic terrorists, and it’s doubtful his month could have been any worse than it was when the New York Daily News unearthed some legal documentation of his involvement in a sleazy sexual assault case 20 years ago, then proceeded to write a blockbuster essay underscoring astonishingly poor judgement, [...]

If Katina Powell took her manuscript to Hollywood!
November 9th, 2015 | College Athletics, Satire | Willie | No Comments
I’m going to tell you right now, I’ve been to at least two dozen state fairs, a dozen rodeos, half a dozen tractor pulls and even a few dog-and-pony shows, and I’ve yet to see anything as outlandish as this Louisville stripper scandal. You could travel on all the side streets and back alleys from [...]

That Diabolical Nick Saban Blockbuster Biography!
September 10th, 2015 | Alabama, Alabama college football, College Athletics, Satire | Willie | No Comments
Nick Saban not only made it clear at a recent press conference he’d rather disrobe, bend over, and submit to a cavity search as opposed to answer questions on the new biography about him, but also, he went into a diatribe condemning unauthorized biographies in general, questioning the accurateness of the information. Leaving us with [...]

If Paul Bryant Jr. ran the Roman Empire
May 23rd, 2015 | Alabama, Alabama college football, Alabama football, Auburn, College Athletics, SEC Athletics | Willie | No Comments
Understanding the power structure at the University of Alabama isn’t like comprehending some complex calculus theorem or absorbing the vast elements of of a converging scientific theory. No Big Bang here! Nor is it like a work of abstract art–where you could stare at it for hours and still not understand it. It’s about this [...]

Why America should use Britt McHenry to negotiate with terrorists
April 23rd, 2015 | College Athletics, Football, NFL, Satire | Willie | No Comments
When Britt McHenry was playing soccer for the Stetson Hatters, it’s doubtful she could have ever envisioned there would come a time when she’d be caught in a page-one cause celeb that would have everyone from Rush Limbaugh to the Chicago Tribune weighing in on it, and everyone from CNN to Fox News forming panel [...]

If Brian Williams were an SEC Fan!
February 18th, 2015 | Alabama, Alabama football, Auburn, College Athletics, SEC Athletics, Satire | Willie | No Comments
Maybe perhaps because I have been in the journalism business my entire career, I am finding this Brian Williams fiasco much more amusing than despicable. Because I know the TV news biz, and I know TV news executives have always promoted the idea of celebrity newsmen “being” the news, as opposed to “covering” the news, [...]

Ways Dan Mullen Could Stop The Florida Talk
October 24th, 2014 | Alabama college football, College Athletics, SEC Athletics, Satire | Willie | No Comments
Some will actually make a case the most devastating blow to Mississippi wasn’t losing Vicksburg to the Union army, but rather, losing Cam to an SEC rival when the godfathers of Mississippi State screwed up the payments and allowed Cam to slip away. Years ago, Cam, the best export out of Florida since citrus fruit, [...]

Why Florida State Kept Jameis on the Sidelines…
October 8th, 2014 | Alabama, Alabama college football, Auburn, College Athletics, SEC Athletics, Satire | Willie | No Comments
One Mississippi…Two Mississippi… You’d just about have to go back to the days Elvis Presley appeared gyrating his hips on the Ed Sullivan Show to find an instance where a citizen from Mississippi caused the kind of national uproar some folks from Mississippi created last weekend. And of course, even as Elvis brought the state [...]

Lane Brings His Baggage To Tuscaloosa
January 20th, 2014 | Alabama college football, College Athletics, SEC Athletics, Satire | Willie | No Comments
Mark Twain once wrote in the Hartford newspaper that “politics makes for some strange bedfellows” and apparently college football follows suit, because a few of the pairings last week could not have been stranger had Paris Hilton jumped in the sack with Daffy Duck. First, Louisville hires Bobby Petrino, a coach who walked out on [...]
