Quick Shots: Lane Kiffin to Star In Jackass III
- Here's something you should know about the SEC, it's a tough league. And the coaches in the SEC avoid saying negative things about each other because most of them could cut your heart out, chew it up and spit it back in your face on any given Saturday. For a guy who hasn't even coached a game in the league, Lane Kiffin has already alienated a lot of people. Maybe Al Davis isn't crazy, maybe Kiffin is
an assclownimmature. Maybe he should have had an opportunity to coach at a smaller program in a less high profile league first before he hit the big time. Because this crap he's spewing isn't going to wash with anyone. At least Steve Spurrier won a few SEC titles before he said "You can't spell Citrus Bowl without UT." Lost in all of this is how hard Phillip Fulmer must be laughing right now. Or how embarrassed he must be for his alma mater. - Maybe Kiffin still has some budget to add Johnny Knoxville to his staff of highly paid assistants.

- Speaking of Darth Visor, he's got his own issues.
- It makes absolutely no sense that the White Sox would make an offer to Bobby Abreu unless Kenny Williams has another card up his sleeve. Apparently he doesn't? I don't know what Abreu brings to the table that Jermaine Dye doesn't. The numbers are similar and Dye is better defensively. Abreu is pretty much a DH by now and the Sox already have a good one, so what's the point? (South Side Sox)
- Just a few more days before pitchers and catchers report to Glendale, AZ. 35th Street Review is there.
- A tribute to a fallen legend who was the best ever at what he did.
- Who Promised you fair, Dept. Why is it the people who are the most inept at their jobs make the biggest salaries? (The Big Lead)
- I watched Bob Costas interview Joe Torre on MLB Network last night and came away with the opinion that maybe people are focused too much on specific excerpts and not the book as a whole. Co-author Tom Verducci feels the same way. I do think this hurts Torre's legacy a little just because he ticked off a few people. But this book is mild compared to "Ball Four" and the "Bronx Zoo." And isn't always there an uproar when someone on the inside writes a book about life on the inside while the principles are still there? It's all about image and players don't like to have theirs messed with.

- When the biggest sports website in Canada says the NHL is in trouble, the NHL might be in trouble. Meanwhile, Nero continues to fiddle while Rome burns.
- Michael Phelps is already in a world of hurt. The subject of public humiliation, suspended form swimming and have his endorsement deals canceled are probably enough for one person's stupidity. But wait, there's more, right Barney? (Yardbarker)
