Ten Ring, I'll go with what is "Unforgiven" for $500.

Last year, the AFC West was so weak Tebo stole the Division from KC (7-9), SD (8-8) and Oakland (8-8) all with every opportunity to win it in the final two weeks.

Denver with Peyton Manning should be 2 to 3 games better next year. With Norv Turner to stay in San Diego, Reggie McKenzie's rebuild in Oakland KC's lack of a passing game was addressed only with only three offensive linemen taken in the second round or later.

If "Little Bill" is the AFC West, then Manning has little to worry about.

Denver has five Prime Time games this year. Tests away from the AFC West include Steelers, Atlanta, New England, Saints?, and Baltimore.

10 Ring, I heard down at the club that the Vols have hit next to rock bottom by the fact the Vols v. NCSU was shunting to ESPNU. The downgrade does match the Vols wretched three seasons.

In one of my first posts here, I wrote that Tennesssee fans suffer indignaiton of being religated to ESPN 2. and their not so savory banter and slavish devotion to producer laden story lines.

Tennesse has not hit rock bottm yet.

I got a buddy whose all WVU through and through, when he gets wound up about their Thursday beat down of Temple, at I always say Tennessee plays on Saturday like a storied program should.

If things don't improve up in K-Town the Vols will play on Thursday night. I imagine the Vol faithful will show in numbers, yet with many forced to take a vacation day to do so.

10 Ring! No backing down and vigorous defense. Bravo!

As a Raider fan, I was between two stools on Kiffin. Bottom line, no matter the circumstances--Kiffin didn't win in Oakland and made a hell of a lot of noise while doing so. Mr. Davis was culpable as well, however, Kiffin was prone to public outbursts in his one season at Knoxville which sparked controversy in and out of the SEC.

My instincts were fungible, so I went along with the hiring hoping for new promise and vitality. We got the full measure of vitality.

Thanks for the kind words for #1! He's lucky that his quarterback is drawing lots of interest. #1 gets to tag along for in town workouts and catch balls.

Ten Ring, was Fulmer better than Timmy! in his declining years?

I'll never understand why Fulmer didn't jettison Randy Sanders much earlier when Sanders flaws became evident. Fulmer could have hired about any top offensive coordinator in the country at that time.

There was certainly little reason to fault Chavis other than maybe not pulling the fire alarm.

Fulmer was better than Timmy! (Lane Kiffin), and he deserves congratulations for going to the Hall, though I doubt he got many votes in Tuscaloosa. #1 heads out to Norman, OK for camp next month, missing out on a two week vacation on a boat in the Bahamas. That's my definition of dedication!

Mouthy Chris Carter will never make it to Canton by the front door, while class guy, Tim Brown, will receive no call either. Maybe the Veteram's Committee will give them some consideration.

Got to give T.O. a bit of respect for trying to shoulder his own financial burden in the Arena League. At least he hasn't dropped to Travis Henry's level.

10 Ring, I wonder what Tiger can say publicly about what has become his inner trauma. On one side there's Elin and the kids, and he doesn't want her on the war path again? Then there's the call girls, one of them with Gloria Alred and all paid to shut up unless Tiger dares reopens the wound completely. Then there's Stevie.

It was a fun Sunday finish at Quail Hollow with Points, Rory and Ricky bombing the 18th with perfect drives in a fairway I couldn't find with a seven iron. Ricky then comes up big on the approach landing 2 feet from the hole, no man's land all day. Birdie to win his first tournament at a Quality Venue, with a stellar field.

Who needs Tiger with Bubba, Rory and Ricky squaring off on Sunday's. I can't wait to see Rory and Ricky go again.

10 Ring,

I have to have, nay must have, Hoot Gibson on your legendary fastball list!

Tenn Ring, Earl needs to parachute down here and kick Eldrick in the ass. As a publicist of no real note, I believe facing the media--no matter how painful--if he has the guts--would sooner rather than later go far to put the whole affair to bed.

If Woods wants to continue carrying this load stone to the course all he need do is keep on doing what's he's doing.

10 Ring,

I can only provide the highs and lows from Oakland...

Best draft pick? Bo Jackson

Worst draft pick? Jamarcus Russell, Todd Marinovvch

Worst single draft for an NFL team? Pick any Al Davis draft stocked with more athletes and speed hawks than players.

Favorite draft memory?

Drafting Russell, Getting rid of Russell

Jones better batter better in the time he has left. 500 homers and 2500 hits may not be the requirement, but making these numbers is essential to compensate for his .256 at the plate, lifetime.
