Does Rick Majerus Know What He’s Doing?

January 11th, 2008 by Tuffy

Today in Tuffy History: I question Rick Majerus. Not directly. I also don’t make a single fat joke. We call that “degree of difficulty” in the business we call blog.

Also, tune in tonight to Treehouse Fort to hear an immense amount of NFL playoff talk, along with a review of the week’s news. I hear Sussman wears a squirrel shirt tonight. Place your bets accordingly.

Leaving New Orleans

January 10th, 2008 by Tuffy

New Orleans, baby, we heard about your good news! The Hornets are stickin’ ’round for awhile. Of course, there’s an out clause after next season that would let them leave with a little cash. So… y’know, don’t get a shared checking account or let the Hornets take nude photos of you yet.

But hey, New Orleans! Mardi Gras! Great cultural history! Local color that makes the rainbow feel shame! Booze and beads! Who doesn’t love New Orleans?

… uhm, the Saints? Sure, they have a lease that doesn’t have an out until 2010, but you probably shouldn’t hold your breath past that. San Antonio can’t stop taking the Saints’ calls just to meet at a coffee shop and talk about the Saints’ problems, y’know? In other words, don’t buy a house with the Saints. You’ll just be selling at a loss in a couple years.

Hey, I know it’s not a pro team, but LSU! National champs! College football is *like* a pro team, really. You can’t feel badly about that! And they’ve got Louisiana in the name of the school. They can’t leave!

Unfortunately, “Les Miles” has no reference to New Orleans or Louisiana in his name. The next pro job with full personnel control (that Pete Carroll turns down) is his.

This is probably the last dance, kids. But there’s no shame in not having a pro team, New Orleans. You’re still New Orleans! Love you! Ain’t nothin’ like you in America and a pro team didn’t change that. We’ll still drop by for a quickie every few years when we’re there on business. Stay cool.

My Very First Notes (this week)

The Pope wants the youth of Italy to learn from footie.

I only see two pertinent lessons for Italian youth:

- When your enemy makes contact with you, flop around until God steps in to smite your enemy for sinning.

- Jesus gave his life for your sins, but Luciano Moggi charges much less.

January 8th, 2008 by Tuffy

Today in Tuffy History: I posit a theory why Hall of Fame voters work so far down ballot that they will need an acupuncturist to stand straight again.

The Secret History of the College Bowl System

January 7th, 2008 by Tuffy

Today in Tuffy History: I get a little carried away about the history of the college bowl system. I may have filled in a few details here and there. This one qualifies for printing to keep you busy at work for an hour or so in the washroom.
