As the Jaguars approach the midseason of their schedule, isn't about time they knew the playbook? Knew how to effectively get plays sent in to QB Trevor Lawrence? Knew the snap count? Knew how to line up? Should I go on? Jaguars fans who've suffered through a 1-6 start (and 2 victories in their last 23 games) deserve better. Hey, commissioner, they're not getting the bang for their buck, that's […]
It's certainly too early to line up a firing squad for Dan Mullen. The Gators football coach does have a 33-13 record in 3.5 seasons. But you can't take records in college football at face value because of how out of balance schedules are. As a member of the SEC, playing a nonconference game against Samford is not the same as playing a nonconference game against Clemson. In that light, […]
Georgia is favored over Florida by 14 points in Saturday's game at TIAA Bank Stadium. Sounds about right to me. The favorite wins the annual game the vast majority of times. Truth is, more often than not they win by double digits. Often the game's decided before the 4th quarter. Still, Georgia-Florida remains a top 4 college football rivalry along with Alabama-Auburn, Ohio-Michigan and Oklahoma-Texas. That's because when there are those […]
Rivalries aren't what they once were. Oh, I am not talking about the fans. Rivalry games -- like this Saturday's Georgia-Florida game -- still crank up their passion. They still wear their school colors all week; plan annual parities and enhance the tailgating experience. Victories still feel better than others; losses hurt more than others. I'm talking about the players and often the coaches. Once rivalry games pitted a majority […]
The NBA's hierarchy is gutless. Criticize America, no big deal. May even get a few attaboys. Criticize Communist China, the land of slavery and human suffering. and alarms go off. Apologies are demanded. Butt-kissing is encouraged. The Celtics' Enes Kanter recently spoke out against China for treatment of Tibetans. That prompted China to take Celtics' games off all of its media. Did I mention China pays the NBA millions, maybe billions, […]
I've never claimed to be a coach or as smart as the men who coach for a living. But I've been around long enough to know good and bad coaching when I see it. The Gators have been a badly coached team this season, losing two games when I thought they had superior talent. There was the rash of penalties that allowed Kentucky to beat Florida. Penalties are usually about […]
I've always regarded myself as an old-fashion journalist. I was taught if you were a reporter, you reported the facts. If you were a commentator, you gave your unfiltered opinion, not concerned with whose feelings you hurt or feathers you ruffled. I haven't always been able to live up to those standards. I think back to FSU and Florida winning national football championship; to the news Jacksonville was getting an […]
I hate to pile on but Urban Meyer does look lost, confused and miserable. He doesn't handle losing very well. He showed that after his Florida Gators were blown out by Alabama in the '09 SEC Championship Game. He suffered a major anxiety attack later that night that all but ended his days in Gainesville. He had to know taking the Jaguars job was a risk. Not only were the […]
Who didn't know Jon Gruden would resign or be fired as the Raiders coach? The moment old e-mails were uncovered of him making bigoted and insensitive comments, his fate was cemented. In the world we live in, there is zero tolerance for such remarks. No matter how old they are; no matter how vague they may be. People have lost their jobs and social standing for comments made decades ago. […]
