Stafford enters season in best condition of his life
*crosses his fingers*Quote:
The 6-foot-3, strong-armed quarterback has undergone a physical transformation. The junior is now a leaner 225 to 228 pounds.
"I'm probably in the best condition in my life, I guess," Stafford said. "It's good being able to be confident that I'm in good shape and that my feet are fast. Hopefully, it will translate onto the field."
...
Stafford's summer included working the Manning Quarterback Camp in Louisiana - where he said he worked out twice with Peyton and Eli - and the Elite 11 Quarterback Camp in Southern California.
Former Ohio State quarterback Kirk Herbstreit, an ESPN analyst, gushed about Stafford after seeing him at the Elite 11.
"I really think that Matthew Stafford, when it's all said and done with the talent around him and watching and looking at him these last couple of days throw the football, it's hard for me to imagine a better looking physical specimen in simply getting back and distributing the football than Matthew Stafford," Herbstreit said on the air.
"This guy is going to have a huge year and when it's all said and done, maybe the best quarterback and maybe the first pick if he decides to leave early for the NFL Draft."
They ranked us 33?!?!? Freakin outrage. They'll eat those words when RU cracks the top 10 by October!Quote:

Nah, I'm not hating like Falix was (the Appalachian State game was kinda funny though!) UGA is actually one of the college teams I like and follow =)Quote:

You should be very careful with such things. Last year Falix tried hating on UGA, and look what happened to Michigan vs. Appalachian State.
This may make me unpopular but I would like to see Ohio State get the SEC monkey off their back. They got their asses handed to them by SEC teams in the last 2 championships. I'm rooting for OSU now (after Rutgers of course!)
For Daryonn's sake, I could live with that as long as it isn't at the expense of my Bulldogs. :)Quote:

Knowshon Moreno gets cover of ESPN the Magazine.
Michael Phelps gets SI.
Tim Tebow gets his own magazine cover.
That's harsh. Of course I sent the link to my Florida alum buddies =)
Damn.
ESPN pays $2.25B for SEC rights
That's for the LEFTOVER games that CBS doesn't take.Quote:
ESPN will pay the Southeastern Conference a staggering $2.25 billion over the next 15 years — about $150 million a year — for the conference’s TV rights, giving the network all of the SEC’s content that was not taken by CBS, industry sources confirm.
The best news is this:
Raycom/Lincoln Financial/Jefferson Pilot suck. I always hated it when I had to watch a game on their shit network.Quote:
The deal effectively ends any conversation of a conference network, and it knocks Raycom Sports (formerly Lincoln Financial and Jefferson Pilot) out of the SEC’s distribution business for the first time since 1986, when JP Sports began distributing SEC basketball.
Quote:
The conference will bring in an average of $205 million annually in media rights beginning in 2009-10 and running through fiscal 2025.
Lucky Sum b@$#%es. :D I wish Raycom would be bought out. The four letter network should have added the ACC to that deal. We'd happily give them Billy Packer for a commentator to be named laterQuote:

I checked out the rankings on ESPN.com today after seeing on the news that UGA opens up the season at 12:30pm ET today against Georgia Southern. And much to my surprise, the Dawgs are ranked at -FIRST- by not only ESPN.com but by the AP and USA Today. Let's hope that they can hang onto that top dog spot (pun intented), for the season and keep the season opener streak going with for the 12th season in a row.
I found this quote by the Georgia Southern coach, Chris Hatcher, to be rather amusing:
ESPN.com ArticleQuote:
Hatcher doesn't believe his team will be intimidated Saturday.
"Georgia puts their pants on just like we do, one leg at a time," he said. "Though, their legs may be bigger than our legs."
