CNBC’s Rick Santelli, an early voice for the teaparty, cut loose another great rant today on the state of the US “leadership”:

According to University officials, Richt will be replaced with former Falcon’s quarterback Michael Vick who is expected to “put some fight into them Dawgs.” (Thanks, […]

Several minutes after Georgia captured its third consecutive national championship, the Bulldogs were still embracing each other, tears of joy streaking their […]

Well, since I’m watching it here, I might as well comment. Georgia’s on their first event — bars. Looking GREAT so far, with two 9.90’s (Marcia, Tiffany), 9.875 (Grace) and two 9.85’s (Nikki, Katie). Courtney (who was last) just got a 9.90 for a team 49.425. Georgia’s great on bars, and its early, but after […]

Wow. If you missed this game then you missed one hell of a football game. First half, Georgia. Second half, Tennessee all the way. Tennessee quarterback, Eric Ainge (nephew of NBA great Danny Ainge) was incredible and unstoppable. When he is an NFL all-star, many will remember this game as a high point in his […]

03/16/2006 UPDATE: Watch the video and note the text on the back of Jason’s shirt: GREATNESS IS EARNED NOT GIVEN That’s the beauty of this story. Here’s a kid who doesn’t make excuses about being autistic; he works. Most people don’t desire, or work towards, greatness, and too many will exploit any perceived “handicap” to […]

Following-up on the profile on Greg Blue (see “Beating the Odds”)… Readers who enjoyed the ESPN article may enjoy this Macon Telegraph article on Blue that ran Christmas Day.

As an alumnus of the University of Georgia and a huge Bulldog fan, I have very much enjoyed watching senior free safety and consensus All-American Greg Blue deliver bone-crushing hits all season long. What I didn’t appreciate was the path Blue had to take to become a college graduate, All-American and projected first-round draft pick […]

Congratulations to the Atlanta Braves who last evening won their 14th straight division title, a record that is unprecedented in any professional sport.
