I’m going to miss Jon Gruden when he leaves the Monday Night Football booth although some people seem to think Chucky is a little too over-the-top in his MNF gig. If you’ve ever listened to the Toucher and Rich morning show on 98.5 The Sports Hub in Boston they play a fantastic game using sound clips from Gruden which highlight just how over-the-top Gruden can be. Yet if you peel back that first layer Jon…
No stranger to moving around, Edwin Jackson finally found his comfort zone last year for the Washington Nationals. He was a workhorse for a surprisingly good Nationals staff, which led the team to their first playoff birth since moving to DC in 2005. Now he is one of the top free agent pitchers on the market, needing to choose whether to stay with the Nats or move on to his 9th professional team. Jackson has…
Hector ‘Macho’ Camacho was known in life for being a flamboyant figure both in and outside the ring. He brought a new attitude to the boxing profession which helped draw more attention to the sport of boxing. Though Camacho had his share of problems with the law outside the ring, including multiple criminal charges, and issues with drug and alcohol addiction, many will remember him for his spirit and flair both in and out of…
Apparently the talent in the SEC isn’t restricted to the players on the field. A perfect example of this is Will Muschamp’s wife Carol Muschamp. Taking a quick look at Carol I’m willing to bet everything I have that she was a high school cheerleader, went to college in the south, and most likely joined a sorority. Check, check, and check. Raised in Thomaston, Georgia, Carol went to school at Ole Miss (where she was…
All time Celtics legend, and current head coach of the Houston Rockets Kevin McHale has one of the long standing successful marriages in the NBA. Kevin McHale and wife Lynn McHale married in 1982, just two years into McHale’s career in Boston. She’s been at his side for the championships, the brawls with the Pistons and Lakers of the 80’s, the up and down successes in the front offices, and now for his stint in…
The way I see it Derek Dooley has been planning for this moment his entire life. What moment is that you ask? The day he would get fired from a big time college football program. And, how has Derek been planning for this moment? By marrying someone who can more than hold her own in the financial department, and Derek Dooley’s wife Dr. Allison Jeffers can certainly do that much. He, along with the rest…
The sports world seems upside down right now. When I saw Kansas State was #1 in the BCS I asked myself a pretty simple question that I was semi-embarassed to ask: Who is coaching K-State these days? I remember the heydays of K-State football back in the late 90’s but it’s been a long time since we’ve heard from the K-State football program. Rather than Google the answer I went old school and asked a…
