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 »

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

If you opened a newspaper today and looked at the SEC East standings, you’d find an unusual site: Mark Richt’s Georgia Bulldogs at the very bottom.  Under Kentucky.  Under Vanderbilt.  Under South Carolina against whom they could only muster six points.  Read the rest of this entry »

They said what? Jordan on LeBron, Bus Cook on Favre, Wade on 9/11, Saban on pimps and film critics on Inception

steve-spurrier-visorI remember when Steve Spurrier announced he was resigning from the University of Florida.
