  • Money money money

    Too often in discussions about sports money, salaries, billions, millions, is the center stage. I watch sports, in part, to take the focus off of the monetization of everything. Now, money and player’s salaries ate as much a topic as balls and strikes. No one knew how much Koufax made or John Unitas or even John Elway. It’s polluted sports as I see it. When you watch a movie do you see a display of what every actor made and stay the director made, etc.. I DON’T CARE! Give me X’s and O’s ... more

  • More Round Table less Doug Granville

    More Round Table less Doug Granville, Starkville is only good because of Stark. Glanville is annoyingly dorky and tells the same five stories.
