Okay I had to take a little jab in the post title! However what Coach K has accomplished at Duke is certainly remarkable and worthy of high praise. I think when all is said and done he'll post well over 1000 W's and leave with a record that can't be touched, even in this day and age where teams rout...

For him to truly be Scarface he needs to be THE BOSS running things. Maybe, but I doubt it. Walter is capable of ruthless action when his back is up against the wall, but I just don't see in him the calculated, cold blooded viciousness necessary to run a major operation. He's going to need some mor...

I have no doubts that Mike will make another appearance, but I'm not really sure how he'll come back. I can envision a scenario where he and Jessie partner up, Mike did seem to grow to actually like the kid, and "overthrow" Walt. As far as a Jesse/Walt showdown, don't forget that Jesse is ...

There are 16 more episodes to come, which may or may not be split across 2 partial seasons. If you aren't up to speed then don't read further...

While I'm convinced Palmer will never get back to a high level I wouldn't write him off simply due to his performance on Sunday. Hard for nearly any QB to be out of action for as long as Palmer was, then be put into action with essentially 3 practices under his belt. If you want to write off Palmer ...

If the Colts find themselves at 0-14 do they pull their starters or go for perfection this time?

A bump nobody likely cares about (though ND fan might soon) Looking at the line in Vegas and the scoreboard I'm going to go ahead and claim victory.

Regardless of how Palmer pans out for Oakland this was a grand slam trade for Cincy. Palmer was never, repeat NEVER, going to suit up for the Bengals again. He was a total loss for them, and now he's turned into 2 draft picks with one being a guaranteed 1st rounder. Under new rookie wage scales whic...

AFC East: The Pats are still the class of the division despite the Jets bluster (mainly from their coach) that they're the class of the NFL. The Jets do have quite a bit of talent on D but I am still in the Sanchez non-believer camp. Jets better not need to comeback from a deficit. The Dolphins are ...

Thoughts from Round 1, Day 2... - I had picked Michigan to beat Tennessee so that wasn't a shock, but holy hell I never would have guessed a 30 point ass whooping!! - The late game play, or lack thereof, by Texas came through yet again. - Really mild day compared to Day 1 as I wouldn't call any outc...

Every bracket I entered has tO$U, Dook and Kansas in the FF. I hated all the teams from the SE to make a run so I split between Florida, BYU and Wisconsin.

Had to use/abuse my mod powers and correct the thread title. As soon as the "first four" games are mandatory selections in a bracket contest I'll call start calling the Thursday/Friday games 2nd round. Until then... As for Thursday thoughts: - not shocked that Morehead won. I really liked ...

- It gets re-hashed so much that it's almost become cliche BUT I do truly feel like this is the most wide open tournament in a while. There really is no dominant team and I see holes or potential pitfalls with every top contender. A legit 10 teams I could see cutting down the nets if the draw breaks...

This is a typical Steve Fisher led team. Very athletic and talented but undisciplined and lacking in hoops IQ. As soon as they meet a team that has one or both of the following in the tourney they are cooked: equal athleticism, high hoops IQ.
