The 59 High School teams across the Nation with the name Redskins, or the 13 teams with the name Redmen, or the 11 High School teams with the name Savages ? Shall we just change them all ? Or is this political correctness run amok ?

Reimburse the college for the 1 year of their scholarship they used, if not at least 2 yrs. All NCAA B-ball scholarship athletes should be required to stay at least 2 yrs. If they leave early they should be good enough to be drafted in the NBA or be playing overseas somewhere. If they are not playing ball professionally then they pay the scholarship back just like a student loan incurred by any other student. Because someplace , somewhere there is a kid who may not be as talented as the 1 & done's but he would play just as hard and stay all 4 years and get his degree like a scholarship is designed to do. Reward a student athlete with a degree , not preping him for the NBA. How many young men has Calapari at Kentucky wasted scholarships on or how many slightly less talented but maybe more cerebral young men has he denied a degree for his 1 & done's ?

THOUGHTS ?

Donnie Walsh the former president of basketball operations has a great basketball mind. Walsh was born in Manhattan,and attended Fordham Prep. School in the Bronx. He played college basketball at U.N.C. for coaches Frank McGuire and Dean Smith. Walsh was an assistant coach at South Carolina working for McGuire from there he was hired as an assistant coach to Larry Brown at the Nuggets whom he eventually replaced.

Walsh's 1'st job at the Knicks was to cut 27 million in payroll and give them enough cap room to sign Amar'e Stoudemire and trade for Carmelo Anthony & Chauncey Billips. So a sharp basketball mind has already tried to save the Knicks, why will Phil's tenure be any different if Dolan is still the owner ?

As Miami Dolphin's head coach Saban was 9-7 in '05, in '06 he went 6-10 as the Dolphin's head coach his 1'st losing season ever as a head coach. As Alabama's head coach since '07 Saban has gone 79-15 with 3 national titles. Saban also has a national title in '03 as LSU's head coach.

Saban's career record as a college head coach is 165-57-1 here's the kicker never the less, every 5 star recruit who played at Alabama under Saban has gone on to be a 1'st round NFL draft choice. Since 2010 Alabama has produced 13 - 1'st round NFL Draft choices ,that is more than the next 2 SEC teams combined. So a coach whose program produces so many 1'st rd. NFL draft choices consistently must know something about NFL coaching and x's & o's ?

Looks more like the 61 pts. were do to the Bobcat's ineptness rather than Lebron's MVP statement . Lebron has only scored 58 pts. combined in the next 3 games. His play has been anything but MVP caliber so will Lebron win the MVP.

Right now Nowitzki is shooting- 50% from the floor- 40% from 3 pt. range & 92 % at the free throw line. By the end of the year he should be one of the top ten scorers in NBA history . BUT is he really better than Shaq, Chamberlain, Kareem, Parish, Ewing, Robinson, Mutombo, Olajuwon ?

Harbaugh's 36 wins and 3 straight conf. championship game appearances in his first 3 yrs. Is the best start in over 20 yrs. for an NFL coach. Is it a product of good coaching or all the talent he inherited when he took over the 49'ers.The cupboard was not bare the 49'ers had 13 1'st round draft choices on the roster,12 of those were starters in his first year. . 49'ers by the numbers from 09-13.

09- off.avg.-20.6 ppg Def.-17.5 ppg.

10-off.avg.-21.6 ppg Def.-19.8 ppg

11-off.avg.-23.7 ppg. Def.-14.3 ppg

12-off.avg.-24.8 ppg. Def.-17 ppg

13-off.avg.-25.3 ppg. Def.-17 ppg

The only major difference is about 3.7 ppg on offense from 2010 till 2013. So is it Harbaugh's coaching or was he in the right place at the right time ?

All as in every 5 star recruit who has committed to and played for Alabama in the Nick Saban era has went on to become a 1'st round draft choice in the NFL. So is it Saban, the system or just coincidental ?

Do they tell the whole story ?

Montana & Bradshaw - 4

Brady & Aikman - 3

Eli,Plunkett,Roethlisberger,Griese - 2

BREES,FAVRE,PEYTON,RODGERS,YOUNG,STABLER,

UNITAS - 1

So are we to believe that Bradshaw was the 2'nd greatest qb to play the game ? Or that Eli & Big Ben or Plunkett are better than any of the guys listed above with 1 championship ring ? I think not !

I think Peyton spreads out the Seahawks defense and takes their strength away by making them play a finesse style instead of a physical mugging style. Also Terrance Knighton will munch on skittles all day long in the middle making Russell Wilson try to beat them with his arm. The Broncos win going away 35 -17 this game is a laugher ! Manning is on a mission to prove Irsay wrong and Elway right.

Does it take to get the Cowboys over the 8-8 hump ? Jerry Jones is running a retirement home for old coaches but is he helping the cowboys or hurting them with all those coaches?

If I was Jason Garrett in the last year of my contract i would call my own plays if my coaching career was on the line.

In his 12 seasons as an NFL starter, Brady has taken the Pats to the playoffs 11 times. He has never gone in as a wild card. Thats right he has won 11 division titles. In all 12 seasons he posted or shared the best record in the AFC East. In 2002 the Pats & Jets both finished the season 9-7, the Jets were awarded the title on a tie breaker.

It is the only season Brady didn't produce double digit wins or advance to the post season. Some qb's who have won more games than they have lost in their career.

Aikman-23, Staubach-56, Elway-66, Montana-70, Favre-74, Manning-94. Brady has won 105 more games than he has lost in his career. If you count the playoffs he has won 113 more times than he has lost, he has won 77.4% of his career starts. Only Otto Graham has a higher winng % of 80.6 with the browns.

He will be the only qb to EVER win the Superbowl with 2 different teams will that silence his critics ? Would a Superbowl victory with the Broncos make him the GOAT even greater than Montana, to ever play the game ?

Since 1971 the Chiefs are 3-12 in the playoffs 2 of those games were won by Joe Montana in 1993. What are all the bandwagon fans gonna do when the tires go flat in Indianapolis ?

In the last 6 years no team ranked 4th or better has won the NFC Championship so will the winner keep the streak going ?

Since the AFL-NFL merger to intercept a pass and throw an interception in the same game ?

Brees,Brady,Woodsen,Holmes,Woodley,Clark,Foote,Light,Loyd,Manningham,Barber,Decker,Lloyd,Braylon Edwards ?

Peyton Manning is the only man on the 53 man roster with a Superbowl Ring, John Fox included. Will this be a disadvantage in the Broncos playoff run ? Or drive them harder as a team to win a superbowl ?

Games played through Dec. 7,2013. 1. Auburn-335.7 yds. 2. Army-323.6 yds. 3. Navy-320.1 yds. 4. Ohio St.-317.5 yds. 5. Northern Ill.-312.5 yds. 1 SEC, 1 M.A.C., 1 Big 10, 2 Military Academies. ? Who's the best ?

Everybody talks about how much talent the Cowboys have on their roster but yet are they really talented ? Talent = natural ability. Talented= Performing at your capable skill level on a consistent basis. Er'go do the cowboys really have talent ?
