Krispy Kreme: Your New Spokesman

Hey Coach Weiss, race you to the store

If Krispy Kreme does not jump on this opportunity, they have no one to blame but themselves. I mean what a great picture, not only is he sporting the hat, but also straddling a KK bike. Look how happy Phil is, just thinking about the warm glazed doughnuts brings a smile to his face we haven't seen since the Tee Martin days. As a solid Ole Miss Marketing Major, I'm telling Krispy Kreme to jump on this opportunity. Maybe they are holding out for a Charlie Weiss promo, that's the only rational explanation for not using this picture. Heck, name a d0-nut after him. I'll take a dozen glazed and throw in two fullmer's as well.

Secondly, I would like to nominate Arizona Cardinals punter Scott Player as our man of the week. Watching the Monday Night football debacle caught my attention for a different reason. Scott Player still wears the Single-Bar facemask! I thought with the single bar facemask left the NFL scene when Gary Anderson did. But Alas, I was wrong...and thankfully so. Scott Player is the sole active NFL player still sporting the gear. In a day where the more gear you have the cooler you are (think NBA Leggings???), I would like to say there is not a manlier move in football than to sport the single bar facemask. Unfortunately, He missed a game saving tackle in the last quarter, but who can blame the guy....he doesn't even really have a facemask. Scott Player, you are our award winner. I think Ray Lewis should start sporting one as well just to up the intimidation factor.

Thirdly, I was flipping through Sportcenter last night and noticed a Cleveland Cavaliers highlight. Is anyone else aware of the NBA preseason already in play? Good grief, the NBA finals ended like 3 weeks ago.

Fourthly, University of Miami president Donna Shalala had some comments regarding the brawl. When asked if she watched the film, she responded by saying she did not watch the film because she was at the game. To watch the film would have only made her madder. Are you serious? What a ridiculous statement. I will not review something because it will only make me madder. Is she an adult or a 12 year old. It's ok to get mad at ridiculous behavior and take proper action, but apparently she can't handle that gruesome task. I would tell her to man up, watch the film, and execute the proper punishments....but you see the problem. No further analysis needed.

Lastly, I saw where the Miami Dolphins signed Marcus Vick yesterday. The dolphins are so gracious, always giving people 4th and 5th chances. What a respectable organization. Here's to the organization that drafted Lawrence Philips, quickly grabbed David Boston after his arrest, loved Ricky Williams, drafted Quinten Williams who was charged with a DUI and drag racing (but then surprisingly released him) etc. I bet the Dolphins front office is reviewing the University of Miami brawl film to scout out some good prospects for next year.

Ole Miss has the 11:30 JP errr Lincoln Financial game on Saturday versus the Hogs. Nothing like rolling out of bed and eating your breakfast while watching the pre-game. I cautiously predict an Ole Miss upset this weekend. Anything can happen at 11:30 in the morning (9:30 pacific time). I can't wait to hear Dave Rowe talk about Rory Johnson (LB, Ole Miss) flying around. Rowe's Rewind will say 1) Ole Miss has to stop the run this week against Arkansas.... DUH! Good to see Cutcliffe getting everyone fired up again.

phil looks pretty good, rumor has it that he brings in to staff meetings plays drawn up on old krispy kreme doughnut 'boxes', the playbook is full of recyclable food storage material.

Facemasks are a big deal to me, i don't know why, but it seems you should wear something that fits your personality. I HATE those new 'revolution' masks that came out 4 years ago...they look gay...


also, I heard that if Ricky Williams can't come back next year, the dolphins are looking into bailing Maurice Clarett out of jail, they think he might still have some good years in him


as far as Cutcliffe....just glad he's in knoxville...that's all

"If you're Ole Miss, you want to win the game!! If you're Arkansas, you don't want Ole Miss to win the game!!"

Get your Dolphins facts straight. They did not draft Laurence Phillips. He was drafted by the Rams. They just gave him a second chance. They did however draft Cecil Collins.

I was just about to say something about Cecil Collins, everyone's favorite rapists/theif/. Seriously, he broke into someone's appartment and stole stuff after he was signed to the Dolphins... he had the money...

JP games are like choosing between death by stabbing or shooting. On the one hand, we've got the Daves. On the other, we've got Kellum, Sandroni, and the other Kool-Ade drinking homers on the radio. I think the only thing about State that I honestly envy is Cristal. Oh, for the days of Stan Torgerson...

it's such a shame lincoln financial didn't pick up today's uga game. i wanted to bet the over under on how many times they joke "well, with the way uga's been playing lately, and the unpredictable nature of the college football world this year, the only thing we can be certain of is that the Bulldogs will win. i heard Vegas was putting the line at 7. i'll take the over thanks.
