That's one way to do it. Fernley High School lineman Kevin Hart announced this past week that he was going to play for Cal, a bold and innovative step in recruiting techniques since the Reno, Nevada resident may or may not have a scholarship offer from Cal. So just go out there, commit, and see if they bite. Live to win, son! LIVE! YEAH! It is not that simple, of course: in fact, according to his football coach, it may be all part of something much, much bigger. This is involving law enforcement and may involve other departments, other than the NCAA, that are bigger than local, Hodges, who has been in coaching for 20 years, said. I would love to tell you everything I know, but I cant at this time and Im not even sure what I know." Treadstone, the Vatican, the CIA, Interpol, the Illuminati, the Bilateral Commission, the Elders of Zion, Comintern, S.P.E.C.T.R.E., and others could not be reached for comment. (HT: Dave.) "We're going to kick those guys butts across town!" If you want a glimpse at the master-race charisma of the Salesman himself in action, watch Rick Neuheisel pumping up the crowd at Pauley Pavillion during a UCLA basketball game. Please also note the look on Norm Chow's face the whole time: wherever Chow is, it looks like he's in complete knowing control, even if he's completely and totally not (see: watching the Titans offense last year.) (HT: Gutty Little Bruins.) Mess with the DickRod, get the DickRod! Rich Rodriguez has done the All-American thing in his ongoing spat with West Virginia: countersued them for, um...poor Outlook managers? The university broke so many promises, Rodriguez's lawyers wrote, and so slandered and even endangered Rodriguez, that the court should limit his potential damages to no more than $75,000, not the $4 million the university is seeking. Endangered? As in put him and his family in danger of bodily harm, or made them a rare species worthy of protection? We're going with the second, since most West Virginia fans seemed happily in favor of putting a radio collar on DickRod after his flirtation with Alabama. (This would have made the whole Michigan drama so much easier in the first place, since you could just have just tracked him as you would a rogue polar bear or dolphin.) Duke is fat. At least according to David Cutcliffe, who will have the team running this spring to lean 'em up, create team spirit, etc. Phil Fulmer doesn't even know who you are anymore, David Cutcliffe. Running is for women and cheetahs, son. Yes, there's a Fulmer Cupdate coming this morning, as it was a busy weekend for many, including Tennessee, who are making a vintage effort here. (Can't taunt, fear Gator player being caught for discharging RPG while smoking baseball bat spliff outside dorms.) In the meantime...you can't handle Puppy Bowl! Don't even try. |

Duke needs to recruit a cocky ass QB
cutcliffe should be slangin’ his pipe around like “yo two super bowl mvp’s, whut, whut” and bucking at people

I hope “DickRod” sticks. The phrase, I mean.

I think there needs to be an investigation into allegations of steroid use in the Puppy League…that one puppy was MASSIVE (seriously, WTF breed was that?).
and #2, agreed…Cutcliffe has some serious bragging rights now. “TWO MVPs, bitches!”

Cant view the clip, but caught PBIV live yesterday for a few minutes. The seriously large puppy breed in the minutes I was watching was a Burmese Mountain Dog.

As the Manning family is to the NHL, the Beethoven litter is to the Puppy Bowl.

Make that 2 Super Bowl MVPs, and a former NL batting champion, and a member of the US House of Representatives.

The girlfriend was watching PB yesterday, and I immediately got sucked in and ended up watching the entire second half. If I remember correctly, the Burmese and the Malamute were the two biggest pups there.

The Berner — as in Berne, not Burma — was cute, but the malamute looked so lost, with all the terrier puppies running underneath him. Kind of reminded me of the Appy St-Michigan game.

Once again a Manning has pwnd Brady.
And there are no winners in Puppy Bowl.

Sorry – there are 2 breeds, Burmese and Bernese- I spelled the wrong one.

I saw “Berner” and thought this was a new record for a state of Alabama slap fight. I almost wish I had been right.
As for Neuheisel, he’ll get more mileage out watching how Ben Howland puts a winning team together than yapping away in a crumbling edifice. Still, he can always hope to reach the coaching heights of Jim Harbaugh next year.

As a Cal fan this has me worried. Is the Nobel Foundation involved in this? Are we going receive the Jim Thorpe treatment and have all past and present Nobel Laureates associated with Cal stripped of the award?

Burmese Mountain Dogs look similar, but are hopped up on methamphetamine and carry AK-47s in their mouths at all times.

Sure, it was a good football game, but last night was my first time watching the puppy bowl. I may never watch another superbowl.
I know I’m going waaaaay out on a limb here, but I’d guess that the “refs” and well over 50% of the people watching Puppy Bowl IV were very, very high.

I watched Puppy Bowl I and II…the best part was when one puppy took a whiz, and the guy with the ref shirt immediately threw a flag.

@ John (#10): I beg to differ, sir. When Animal Planet films puppies playing for three hours and then airs it, we all win.

The part where one of the terriers was charged with a foul for guarding the water bowl was funny.
They should have let one of Vick’s dogs in the mix. It could have been a sequel to Cloverfield. Wrong on so many levels.

But it would have looked like players trying to tackle Techmo Bowl Christian Okoye.

Norm Chow – The Liar Dept:
Saw the gutty little bruins video and I do not know what was worse:
1) Neheisel the Weasel hamming it up for the gutty little bruin fans with small brains, or
2) Norm Chow saying that “he and his family” are happy to be bruins. Happy to be bruins? the family too? He has a son at USC! He should have been honest and say that he is happy to get an opportunity to stick it to Pete Carroll, but happy to be a bruin? That is like Borat saying he is happy to be from that dreary village in Kasakstein, or whatever that was.

I was hoping Michael Vick would be the commentator for the Puppy Bowl, but since the last one he attended, all the participants were “allegedly” executed or electrocuted for getting scored on and losing the game, Animal Planet had to pass until these “allegations” were cleared up…………..there are just not enough athletic dogg QB’s anymore that can stay outta trouble……
by Mr Pelican Pants on Feb 5, 2008 12:47 AM EST reply actions
That large puppy was an Alaskan Malamute…and they mentioned that he weighed 44 pounds…at 14 weeks! In other words…the Herman Johnson of Puppy Bowl IV.
