I thought he was talking about how they got schooled during their bowl game.

When he was at UT he was a fan favorite. Now everyone is glad he's gone.

Obviously, you're ignorant of the phone calls he made to recruits and EE to withdraw from the UT as he and Kiffy jr. were heading to USC.

He was a bozo when here but he was our bozo! He was a mumbling stooge but could damned sure recruit. He was not a huge asset nor was he missed when he left to follow the lame kitten. The things he did on the way out the door were downright wrong.

Former USC player Bob DeMars has told Time Sports magazine that he was verbally assaulted repeatedly by Orgeron for leaving practice early to attended a required statistics class once a week. DeMars said Orgeron called him a name too crude to repeat here.
“He made me feel like a bad person for going to class,” DeMars said.
While calling Orgeron a great coach, DeMars says Orgeron was foul-mouthed and abusive. Now a filmmaker, DeMars is planning a movie questioning the direction of college sports.
“When I signed with USC, no one said good luck on your degree. No one said go to school and get good grades. You’re not a student-athlete,” DeMars said. “You’re an athlete student.”
Former college athletes who have sued the NCAA filed a federal court lawsuit Tuesday, asking $5 million from a company that sells photos of college players online. The defendants is Professional Photo Store Fronts, owned by Brand Affinity Technologies. The players say the company sold their pictures online without their permission. The lawsuit accuses 90 university athletics departments of promoting the sale of the players’ images.
In another federal lawsuit, former UCLA basketball player Ed O’Bannon and others have accused Electronic Arts and Collegiate Licensing Company with using their images in video games sold to the public. That lawsuit asks millions of dollars in compensation from EA, CLC and the NCAA.
Ponderings

• Why do I have a nagging suspicion that the NBA championship series is fixed? That San Antonio could lose to Miami by 19 points in Game 2, then beat Miami by 36 in Game 3 seems screwy to me. It makes no sense.
• When major league baseball commissioner Bud Selig steps down next year, I’d like to see the owners choose a successor from the following candidates: Veteran Bob Costas who loves the game, Texas Rangers owner Nolan Ryan, Andy McPhail former U.S. president and ex-Rangers owner George W. Bush, and former manager and front office exec Frank Robinson.

As far as the portion of the article that mentions NBA games be fixed, I seriously doudt it. Do you realize how many people would have to be in on the fix? Just this season, there would have to be head coaches, players and referee's and the NBA upper echelons.

That is way too many people to know a secret and expect them to keep it a secret. That is just this season. What about the people who may have been involved in this in past season's.

Now your secret about the NBA being fixed has close to 1.000 people involved if you count the past 10 seasons of fixed games. Way too many people to keep a secret and not blow the lid off of it.


As far as suing the companies who use the likness of former players, I say that they should be sued. Of course, Ed O'Bannon is a part of every law suit he can get in on. I think this is the 3rd law suit that he is associated with. I guess his money from his pro days is gone and he has to survive some how.


As far as the next baseball commissioner is concerned, choose just about anyone, but not Bob Costas. I don't want him to use that platform for his political views, such as gun control and gun rights. Too often, liberals get a platform through their job and they try to push their agenda's. If you are a baseball commisisoner, I want to hear about baseball from you. I don't want to hear about a war on terrorism, abortion rights, gay rights, gun control, immigration etc. from you. If you want to promote those issues, then become a politician.

I agree 100%. I hate when a singer, actor, ballplayer, and such try to push their view instead to talking about music, movies, or sports. And for the record, I still hate it even if I agree with them. GBO

The Heat won last night because that's the best Bosh and Wade have played in weeks and it wasn't a one man show like it has been. No way the playoffs are fixed.
