IT IS WHAT IT IS

*** Memphis fans hate John Calipari . Tennessee folks are mad at Lane Kiffin. They should not be.

The fans feel like a rejected lover,cast aside for a more attractive love. That is the way it is in today's mercenary coaching world.

Coaches go for the best deal. They are always looking to up-size. They have no love or loyalty for any school . It is just business.

Cal will be at Kentucky till a better deal comes along. Then he will be on the road again . The same with Lane.

Bama fans better not give your hearts to Nicky . Saban has been known to wander.

This mercenary world exists due to the Big Money being paid today. Coaches are always looking to play the Job Lottery.

*** Jimmy Sexton is the man . I told you the Tennessee coach would be who ever Jimmy decided. I think every candidate was a client of Jimmy.

*** I missed 3 of 4 NFL games. Only the Jets came through for me . I think the Chargers must have a defect in their DNA. They are very talented but always come up a little short.

Favre had a great day . I sold him short . Wade Phillips was put on this earth to suffer. I bet Wade lost a lot of dogs when he was a kid. I will ask Bum if he knows.

Peyton Manning is the best . As long as # 18 is in there the Colts have a chance. I wish Peyton enjoyed it more . He has the look of an acute hemorrhoid sufferer . Big P is not that way in his ads.

You have to pull for the Saints . They have never been to the Super Bowl . Drew Brees is not far behind Manning. The Saints bring a lot of heat on the QB.

*** I love the hoop style Mississippi State plays. The Bulldogs do a lot of 4-out 1- in basketball. They fire up the 3 & let the Big Dog work in the paint. Also Rick does not have to coach a lot which is a plus.
