THE "G" IS TAKING OVER by Tannen

Remember when I first joined KSCR and said it's now our responsibility to do what we can to eliminate the gossip element from ESPN? I claimed the more accurate acronym for the network would be ESP&GN, the Entertainment, Sports Programming and Gossip Network. We'll we're failing. First, congratulation to Chuck whose name was pulled from those who correctly identified the 1979 Rams as the lone Super Bowl qualifier since the league expanded to 16 games to win less than 10 games. He gets a $25 gift certificate to Sy's Pizza in Eugene. For today's prize, a $15 gift certificate to Taco Del Mar on Delta in Eugene plus a free oil change at Auto Service Express on Mohawk in Springfield worth $27.95. Simple. Give me your winner & final score of tonight's National Championship game between Florida & Oklahoma. Gotta be in by kickoff. E-mail your thoughts to steve@1320thescore.com
So the lead stories this morning on SportsCenter were Pacman Jones acting surprised he was released by the Cowboys and Brett Farve commenting on comments by teammates. Remember the scene in "Pulp Fiction"? Uma Thurman's character is chatting with Vincent Vega(John Travolta) about the big boss(Marsellis Wallace) throwing Tony Rocky Horror through a window over a foot massage? These were supposed to be gangsters, the ultimate tough guys. But they're engaged in gossip and as Uma claimed "worse than an old sewing club". Here's the story. Jones is a scumbag who can't stay out of sleazy strip clubs and Farve is a child in a man's body who can't handle it when the spotlight escapes him. End of story. Let's talk NFL playoffs, NBA, college hoops and Sooners/Gators.
