NCAA Ban on Indian Names

Enough with the PC bullshit already, why is everyone in this world so friggin sensitive. Sure Redskins might be a little rough but the nicknames or Illini, or Seminoles or Chiefs what the hell is wrong with any of those names or characatures. Is there really any negative connotation now with these names? How many people walk around see a Native American and think to themselves damn there's a Redskin or a Redman? The word Yankee had a negative connotation for much of the country during the Civil War, should they be renamed.

And as for characatures and mascots, aren't all mascots a little ridiculous looking? Have you seen the USC Trojan, or the Minnesota Vikings mascot? Both don't where one of those giant Barney costumes but both look absolutely ridiculous. So should people of Modern Day Turkey or Modern Day Nordic region dial up the NCAA and NFL and file complaints? Should men in Massachusetts with premature ejaculation problems protest the nickname Minutemen because it hurts their feelings? Don't you think that this kid that gets to play Chief Illinewek is of Native American descent himself and gets to benefit from this position with a free ride to school, whats wrong with that?

If we're going to be PC why don't we represent all cultures in mascot names. I mean have you ever seen a black mascot, or an asian mascot. Nope they're all white. Woah I don't know if I should accept this. I think we need to diversify our mascots.

Or we should just shut up, accept the friggin traditions and not bitch and moan about something that makes no difference at all.

Simone are you kidding me? We're both white college educated successful males. What the hell would we ever know about the oppressed under-priveleged minority community? We should feel guilty just by existing.

Did you know that if you go to Duke and hire a stripper, and she's black, and she says you raped her, that means you did it? Despite the fact she has 6 dudes worth of semen in her that doesn't match any of her accusers?

I feel as though the Notre Dame fighting Irish should change their mascot because I'm Irish and that paints a negative connotation toward us micks.

Fuck that.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
