December 24th, 2010 by Chris Humpherys

Welcome to edition three of our Hail or Rail Scale.  In the past, we’ve honored (and dishonored) Steve Spurrier, Zenyatta, Cecil Newton and Randy Moss among others.

This time around we’ve compiled a brand new list of inductees who will either be opening freshly-wrapped presents under the SportsChump Channukah bush or receiving their very own bag of coal. Read the rest of this entry »

Chumping to Conclusions about Alabama, Boise State, Terrelle Pryor, UCLA, Tennessee, Steve Spurrier, Donovan McNabb, Calvin Johnson and when a completion is not a completion

September 13th, 2010 by Chris Humpherys

Is Alabama really THIS good?  Let me get this straight.  They played their first two games without their starting running back.  Their second game was against a school we thought would be a worthwhile opponent in Penn State and they still controlled both games from start to finish.  Read the rest of this entry »

October 23rd, 2009 by Chris Humpherys

This Saturday’s college slate gives us a quick breather from the top-ranked, head-to-head matchups we’ve seen so much of lately. The weekend features only one contest between ranked teams and a number of distinct favorites squaring off against theoretically lesser opponents.
