I know you all had rough nights of sleep. The anticipation kept you tossing and turning. The mere thought would keep
you awake for an extra 5 minutes. Tonight, live from South Florida, the BCS Championship featuring the 13-1 Oklahoma Sooners and the 13-1 Florida Gators. (You weren’t thinking I meant Grey’s Anatomy did ya?)
I will be heading down in about 2 hours with my wifey and sister. We’re meeting my old roommate at the airport in Fort Lauderdale and then taking our place in the parking lot with my family (there are a lot of us going). Go Gators.
Yes, I know, it’s not all that happened last night. Sparty and Friends’ favorite stached insider Ed Werder reports that Pacman Jones has been dumped by Jerry Jones, Ahhhhhhh. (I actually like how ESPN put it..”Pacman Era Ends In Dallas”…like in 25 years we’ll be talking about the Pacman era) Did anyone actually expect this to end well? Turns out he may have been involved in a shooting in Atlanta.
The Browns made their coaching decision…Mangenius!!!!After firing a former Belichik assistant, they’ve hired…A former Belichick assistant…Didn’t Belichick get the Browns thrown out of Cleveland? Notice a pattern?
…and you don’t really believe that Anquan Boldin will be out this weekend, do you? The Cards sure don’t.
He was warned…after interviewing for the Jets job (and a longshot to get it) Jeff Jagodzinskiwas canned at BC. Foolish. All the guy has done is take you to back to back ACC championships…
Miz was a little too excited to heard that Moreno and Stafford will be playing for pay in 2009.
If you said Trevor Hoffman to the Dodgers…you may be right.
While the Baltimore Orioles couldn’t attract any American players…so they went and signed Yomiuri Giants star Koji Uehara.He’s 34 and a star of the 2006 WBC champions. Yeah.
And you know, I’ve complained several times about the destruction of spring training in Florida. Especially with Dodgertown and Winter Haven biting the dust last spring. Well Tuscon, AZ has taken it just as bad, and they think they have a solution to keep spring training there. Hint: It doesn’t involve a MLB team.
The Cavs did what the Celtics couldn’t the night before…The Celtics are now the 2 games behind the Cavs…and the Magic won again…and the rest of your NBA scores from manana, a night that included Dickey V calling a NBA game for the 1st time since 1984. Honestly, the little I saw, it was refreshing.
The college game had some action last night…Haaaaaarvard won their 1st game against a ranked team, upsetting Boston College…While Zags got the best of Tennessee again.
You want a great show? Check out Man v. Food on the Travel Channel…brilliant!
Should be an action packed day on S&F, and I will be commenting thoughout the afternoon, live from Miami. However, I’ll have to shut it down at kickoff. Enjoy your day!

Did anyone see the dig that Jeopardy threw at Belichick last night? Will update with an edit once i find a screenshot…
Category: Sore Losers
Answer: What coach threw a ‘hissy fit’ at the end of a game in February 2008 by leaving with one second left
Question: Who is Bill Belichick
Hissy fit? Did mangini write that question?
/first!
(Quote)
I’d say it was a hissy fit.
(Quote)
Hoffman to the Dodgers … If you can’t beat him, sign him.
(Quote)
I still get the “outrage” about Belichick leaving with one second left in the Super Bowl. Everyone had already flooded the field to celebrate and he had already met Coughlin at midfield and shook his hand. What’s there to stick around for?
(Quote)
I still DON’T get.

Because…
That’s why.
Because…

Hoffman to the Dodgers? Looks more like the Brewers
(Quote)
Well, at least he’s out of the NL West.

hoffman can’t be as bad as Gag-me, can he?
(Quote)
greatest Jeopardy of all time.
(Quote)
Gagne had 1-1/2 good seasons. Dodger’s finally made a good move letting him go when they did.
(Quote)
the Vols lost, again, to the Zags. ugh.
(Quote)
Sorry Miz.
(Quote)
it’s not your fault, trey. but thanks for your sympathy though.
(Quote)
“Al, you old son of a bitch! How ya doin’? How do you feel about that call today? I mean the Dolphins! Fourth-and-three play on their 30 yard line with only 34 seconds to go!”
“How do you think I feel? Betrayed, bewildered… wrong response?”
(Quote)
Without googling. Name the movie.
(Quote)
I concur that Man v. Food is a great show.
(Quote)
miz-the losses will pay benefits come march, trust me.
(Quote)
It’s not Teixeira and Fatty Sabathia, but a couple interesting signings…
Sox closer on Baldelli; Smoltz also in the mix

I know it’s supposed to, sparty. but it still hurts.
(Quote)
baldelli is a wild card. if (and that is always a big IF when it comes to baldelli) he stays healthy, he could be great.
(Quote)
Good call Miz.
@ John, I want that job.
@ Everyone. We’re hitting the road. I’ll probably check in around noonish.
(Quote)
I’m fascinated by the Smoltz signing. The Red Sox have some serious depth in the rotation now.
(Quote)
have a good trip! good luck tonight!
(Quote)
Man V Food – Good Call – Wait until next week when you see th e burger and fries he has to from the Eagle Deli in Boston.
(Quote)
Mangino v Food would be better.
(Quote)
I don’t think it would be better, because Mangino would win everytime.
(Quote)
John- so all that taunting about a Sabathia injury, when he has no history, and you are excited about a guy who has had mulitple injuries to his elbow. ok….
(Quote)
…but the Red Sox aren’t relying on Smoltz to carry the rotation the next 7 years.
I’m hoping they don’t need Smoltz in the rotation when he’s back in May, so they can use him as a setup man for Papelbon.
(Quote)
what the over/under on how long before Pacman’s a Raider?
(Quote)
john-regardless, sabathia has never ever been hurt.
(Quote)
so, the Celtics suck.
(Quote)
injured players on Trey’s FBB team: Agent 0, Brandon Roy, and Carmelo Anthony. yet he is still ahead of Miz.
(Quote)
la la la la la…I can’t hear you!…la la la la la

Harvard National Champs!
/Harvard > BC > UNC
(Quote)
I don’t think miz even updates his FBB team anymore.
(Quote)
Next year for FBB I’d strongly recommend the Commish create a second IR spot on the roster for everyone.
(Quote)
rek-i was hoping that trey would have done that with Harvard.
(Quote)
i think it is funny how hard the commish works on his 3rd place team.
(Quote)
Next year, I hope we actually have the draft on a night that is not the night before the season starts…and not at midnight…and a 2nd IR spot would be nice considering how many people keep going down.
(Quote)
If the Commish didn’t stream players, he would be battling with Miz for last place.
(Quote)
the comp was smarter than me. i am fine with the team it drafted. here i was upset about the Jason Kidd pick, and he is still top 20 in FBB.
(Quote)
I’m against bigd’s team now and his team is so stacked on points and rebounds….it’s ridiculous.
(Quote)
ridiculous or redickulous?
(Quote)
+1, john
(Quote)
After that Jeopardy answer was read, my exact words to my wife was “That’s f**ked up!”. She was confused because she didn’t know the answer.
Once they named BB, she said, “Dang, that IS f**ked up. Hissy Fit? Who says that?”
still searching for a screenshot. I should’ve rewound the DVR, camcorder’d it and uploaded to youtube. Didn’t think of it last night
(Quote)
Trey-that is not how we write out the date on TMA.

tsk tsk, trey. you’re in trouble now!
