Funniest thing to me about the playoffs is that there are people who think Taylor Swift and whoever that fucker with the Chiefs is are really dating, and money hasn't changed hands to get Swift to show up at the games.- Bye bye, Sports Illustrated?
Sports Illustrated, like daily newspapers, was going to die anyway. Replacing all the editors with chicks that don't care about sports accelerated the speed of the death, but the reason for the magazine ceased to exist several years ago. There were three things that made Sports Illustrated popular: great photographs, the swimsuit issue, and some talented writers. While I wasn't a huge fan of Peter King, George Plimpton, or Paul Zimmerman, they each had a style. You didn't need to read the byline to recognize their writing. Plimpton could make a story out of nothing, like when he worked out with the Detroit Lions, ran three plays in a preseason game, and got multiple stories and a book out of it(Paper Lion.) In an era where everyone with a webcam has their own sports channel, nobody's going to stand out that much. It's like nobody will ever be another Johnny Carson, cause if Carson was still around, he wouldn't be Johnny Carson, dominating the airwaves. He lived in an era where there were three channels, and maybe one other late night host at a time. I think it was close to ten years ago that SI fired all their photographers and started using freelancers. After that, their photos started looking just like everyone else's photos. Going to the trannies and fatties in the swimsuit issue alienated their core audience. Looking back on the last forty years, it's crazy how many models became famous from being on the cover of that issue. Christie Brinkley, Cheryl Tiegs, Elle McPherson, Kathy Ireland. Even leaving out the fatties and trannies, in 2022, Kim Kardashian was a swimsuit model. Guys who spend their lives avoiding seeing Kim Kardashian don't want to open up the swimsuit issue and see her botoxed plastic surgery face and fake boobs. The biggest thing, though, is that up until the internet, there was a limited supply of information and illustration about specific teams and sports. Like what happened to sportscenter, nobody has to wait to see highlights anymore, and they don't have to wait a week to see photos of big sporting events. IF they had people who cared about sports running it, they may have been able to hang around by doing commemorative editions for NFL, NBA, and college championships, the swimsuit issue, etc. Hell, they could probably sell 100,000 copies of a Michigan football issue, cause every Wolverine fan would keep that forever. I still have my 2005 Longhorn issue.- Bye bye, Sports Illustrated?
From Hell's heart, I stab at thee- Cowboys-Packers Round Nine
The Cowboys have had the same coach since Jimmy left the building. I've posted this before, but the last Cowboys game I watched was when Jason Garrett iced his own kicker. Was working on a project and had the ESPN gamecast and this thread up. Not gonna throw bombs at guys who still support the Cowboys. Hell, I started watching when Meredith was QB, Don Perkins was fullback. It just got painful watching this zombie corpse wearing Cowboys gear stagger around.- Cowboys 'n Dolphins
Damn, who fucked your girl, just chill. Who hasn't?- ACC Championship - #14 Louisville vs #4 FSU - 7pm on ABC
- BIG 12 CHAMPS - ADIOS MOFOS!
She's looking at something $5000+, and wants you to say, "Oh, OK babe, whatever you want." so you can get back to the game and she can get her diamond studded salt shaker.- Pac 12 Championship - Oregon v Washington 7pm ABC
Ohio State is 11-1. They won't be playing tomorrow, so what they are is what they are until their bowl game. Can't see them sneaking into the picture with one less win than six other schools.- TNF - Cowboys v. Seahawks
I don't know if he missed the block or saw Parsons, got this exact look in his eyes, and said, "Nah, Imma block this guy over here, instead." Haven't watched NFL in a while, so, random thoughts from a guy that's now a total casual. It was GREAT on the last two Dallas defensive series to see them go after the QB instead of dropping everyone and letting them work underneath. Prevent defenses are the worst. Do all NFL players piss and moan for a flag after every damn play, now? You don't need to do a thug pose after a three yard gain. The game's better with the sound off. The former Seattle player that was running his mouth on the halftime show needs to drink a big cup of shut the fuck up.- TNF - Cowboys v. Seahawks
Liked that they went after the QB instead of playing soft.- Tell Me About Texas a&m
You bring up a great point. One of the toughest things about being a head coach is keeping control of the program. Everybody involved in these programs is an alpha personality. All the players, all the BMDs, and most of the coordinators and assistant coaches have a Jerry Jones fantasy, where they're calling the shots. One of Saban's strengths is he can tell people to sit their asses down and start rowing with the rest of the team and make it stick. One of the reasons it's hard to find a good fit for Texas is that the higher the program profile, the more powerful the power players. Nah, Aranda has the look of Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man. His problem is he is a beta personality in an alpha world. Baylor's doing everything they can to protect him, but he's the classical "paralysis by analysis" guy. There's a power vacuum at the head coach level, so the program is rudderless. Baylor can't keep Aranda at this point, cause as long as he's there, every season will be like this season, and the B12 is now the AAC-MWC. Rhule took the job cause Baylor was a P5 stepping stone. Dittos for Briles. That advantage doesn't exist anymore. You're right on Traylor, cause Baylor isn't a step up from UTSA now.- BYU @ Oklahoma State - ABC

Holgorsen wasn't hired to win games. He was hired to get UH into the B12. He'd been through it once, cause he was WVU coach when they went to the B12, and had a ton of contacts in the league. Agree with you totally that UH wouldn't be on my Christmas list if I was coach job shopping. Got a few donors that want to run everything, and nobody in the whole city gives a crap about the Cougars, including the students. I've been to Arkansas a few times, and couldn't imagine living there. Beautiful scenery, but a little too "Dueling Banjos" for me, if you get my drift. Truth on the expectations. Baylor just extended Aranda in 2021, and the rumors I've heard are that the buyout would be 20 million. If his games continue to look like the Kansas State game, they might let him go, but right now, they're trying to protect him and avoid the buyout. I don't think he runs the program. The program runs around him, and they may try to find an up and comer coordinator to take the reigns while letting Aranda continue to do the worst pressers in the history of the universe. Would SMU be an upgrade over UTSA? I know, I know, everybody's looking for the bigger, better deal, but Traylor's making 2.5 mil at UTSA, the whole city loves him and the Road Runners, and I don't see the SMU gig, where nobody in the metroplex is ever gonna give a shit about the ponies as a fun job.- Dumbass Shit We See On Facebook

aggy has 75,000 students, including grad students. That's only $1,000 per student for the buyout.- Texas vs tcu - 6:30pm on ABC
At least TCU is burning clock with their drives.- Utah @ Washington 2:30 Fox
I'm pulling for... If they win, it gets one more undefeated team off the board.- Jim Harbaugh NO LONGER coaches at Michigan
