Really looking forward to our 5:05 chat today(Thur) with Ivan Maisel of ESPN. He has a terrific new book out called "The Maisel Report". He lists the most underrated and overrated coaches, players, stadiums, traditions, ect in college football. It's a fans dream and you'll be pretty happy with his thoughts on both Oregon & Oregon State.
The 2 stories that jump off the page from the NFL are Chad Johnson & Edgerrin James. Chad has been suspended for tonight's game with the Steelers for a violation of team rules. Apparently he got into an altercation with an assistant or maybe even head coach Marvin Lewis. Let's get one thing straight. When guys like Ocho Cinco or Terrell Owens are on good teams and getting the ball and things are well, they're tolerable. But like spoiled, immature brats, when things sour or the spotlight isn't shining on them, they'll draw attention to themselves via temper tantrums and other negative acts of hysteric you get from narcissistic morons.
As for James, he's requested to be traded or released from the Arizona Cardinals. This is another selfish putz. Why would a veteran player on the back side of his career want to leave a team who is locked into making the post season? His carries have decreased as the team is leaning on rookie Tim Hightower of Richmond, but he's got to understand what a key role a back-up plays in the NFL. He's never averaged more than 3.8 yards a pop during his 3 season with Arizona so it's not like they're sitting Ladanian Tomlinson! You'd think a quality pro would love the chance to be with a winner. If he thinks some club is out there waiting with big bucks and a vacancy for a big time feature back, he's lost touch with reality.
No show on Friday as we bring you Duck Women's Hoops, so have a fun weekend.

Great stuff from Maisel. I can't wait to get my hands on this book. When did you say you'd be giving out copies?
