I have taken some grief for not posting my own blogs for quite some time. The reasons vary from me "hiding" (laughable) to laziness (closer to the truth). My biggest issue with the FOX blogs is from the technical side. I am easily aggravated when, for example, I can't comment on blogs unless I use Explorer and not Mozilla Firefox. Guys, it's fine if you don't want to run a third Next Great Sportswriter contest (instead Lisa Horne "won" deservedly so without the pretense of bogus voting and disinterested judges). I'd be a lot happier to post blogs, and comment more than I do, without the constant fear of the page closing or my comment disappearing.

NOW FOR THE GOOD STUFF

Everyone wants a playoff in college football. We're not getting it. We have KNBR sports talk blasting here. Terry Bowden, now of Yahoo! Sports formerly Auburn's head coach, was talking to The Razor (Ralph Barbieri) and Mr. T (Tom Tolbert) on the subject about a week ago. He was discussing why these dopes refuse to budge. A plus one? Bowden quoted one of the guys in charge as saying if college football does that we (the fans, players, coaches) will "just want more". What? Is that a bad thing? I have never liked Bowden as much as I did when he said just that in response to this stance. Wanting more is the American way. Why do you think The Biggest Loser starts a new season as soon as the previous one ends?

DECEMBER DELIRIUM

All we can do now as fans is imagine what a playoff might look like and argue about it. As some of you might know I write for TheFootballExpert covering the NFL, college football and the NFL draft. Maybe that explains why I have very little time to offer up FOX blogs. Strictly for fun I put together a totally unrealistic 64 team tournament based on the BCS standings at the top and further down I used full rankings from Rivals and CBSSportsline as two-thirds and an average of the computers for one-third. Then I carried it out to a winner. You can find all the brackets HERE. I also want to point out that as an incentive to throw down some smack talk on the newly created TFE forums anyone registering and posting 3 times can win a Kevin Boss autographed shirt. Click that link for the details. It's pretty straight forward.

IS THAT IT?

Uh, yeah. I think so. Feel free to poke around TFE where I regularly make NFL picks (152-87-1 this season, 170-86 in 2007) rank the college Top 35 (because 25 is for wimps) and eventually will craft my annual 7 round NFL mock draft. Happy New Year everyone.
