One picture says it all: Magnificent. Laughing, smiling, having a great time with "all football, all the time." The Big Kid from Big Duval is truly blessed. Now is the time for fun and hard work, and thereafter, even more...

My goodness. I mean, do the Jags understand anything about the confluence of business and sports? Tyson who? Tyson who!?! I feel like my head is going to explode. Extremely disappointing. The Jaguars website writer keeps talking about the "courage"...

All of the disinformation is just about over and the NFL draft occurs tomorrow. My prediction? I don't care what has been said, constantly questioned or speculated, or otherwise opined: the Jacksonville Jaguars will take hometown hero Tim Tebow with...

I can't help it. I just can't. My nostalgia for Tim Tebow is starting to truly settle in. It must be my anticipation of the NFL Draft and presuming my layman's outrage at the "fools" who won't give Tim every...

Yesterday was simply a gorgeous North Florida day in Gainesville (today is equally beautiful in Tallahassee); temperature in the mid-70s, blue skies, a gentle breeze . . . and football about to be played. Naturally, I enjoyed the heck out...

The next great Gator sensation at Quarterback should be, we hope and pray, John Brantley but . . . I just saw an interview that has convinced me we already have the one after that on campus, too. Trey Burton,...

Psssst, you know those crackers are racist, right? What crackers? Those racist tea party crackers! Good lord, have mercy. It's just so tiring and predictable. That's right -- predictable and tiring, far too comfortable in their own prejudice, cloaked in...

[1] I was completely blown away by the history of the chemical creation of the color blue over at Fast Company: Joshua Cohen traces the history of what was once the most valuable color in his fascinating--and exhaustingly researched--essay "Thirty-Six...

On the opening day of the tournament, madness reigned supreme: The greatest opening day in the history of the tournament proved to be for the forgotten, the never known and the anonymous. It was for upsets, extra sessions and endless...

College days swiftly pass, imbued with mem'ries fond. While examining a video from the Sprite Step Off contest and the controversy surrounding the win earned by a white sorority from the University of Arkansas (and trying to determine whether I...

A 10-seed, and we're playing BYU. What a relief, what a relief, what a relief! A three-year-drought from the tournament would have been extremely tough to deal with. We simply don't have a superior team this year but they can...

What the heck is going on with those crazy Democrats this weekend, you may be wondering? Ladies and gentlemen, I suspect (and nobody really knows -- perhaps not even them) their strategy is three-fold. See if you agree (please forgive...

Sight unseen, I'm posting this YouTube video because I love the whole "talking baby" idea so much. I can only hope this spoof is worth it: ObamaCare -- the cause that just keeps on giving and giving and giving. Seriously,...

Yes, that's right, the Anti-Obama has arrived: [1] At the ObamaCare Summit: [2] At a follow-up with good ole "tingle up his leg" Chrissy: Straight mathematics, homey. We're still waiting for BHO and his crowd to refute his numbers. Still...

Consider this my Black History Month post for the year, okay? I was in Atlanta last weekend and took the opportunity to visit with one of the "daughters" my wife and I have collected through her work in college theater....

BKBD. (The) Big Kid (from) Big Duval -- that's my nickname for Tim Tebow. News was generated today when it was revealed that he has been working on an intensive training regimen designed to overhaul his unique throwing motion. Good...

Although it's only for a couple of weeks, welcome home to one of America's finest and a great nephew (even though he has yet to acknowledge just how good Joe Haden is [was!] in the Florida Gator secondary): Hoooaahhhhhhh !!!...

In honor of Valentine's Day, how about some Sade, Soldier of Love. I've had at least one friend tell me he doesn't like this new comeback song from her. I does! Play it below, read the lyrics below, and don't...

Mickey Kaus shoots down the fairly easy to recognize hubris of D.C. insiders lamenting to stupidity of the rubes who've arrived from Chicago who are somehow screwing up a golden opportunity. Obviously, he should have reached outside his inner circle...

Wretchard, within the comments section of his post, on the question of "What, exactly, should the Republicans do?" now that Obama is beginning to realize just how much he has screwed up: [1] They need to contest the frame and...
