With so many different playmakers and potential problems people couldn’t help themselves when wondering who did what and how bad was it? Then the news leaked and we all found out […]
I took my mistress for a ride on my hog and all I got was this lousy neck brace. Bobby Petrino went on ESPN last week for an interview in which the disgraced ex-Arkansas coach vowed that he had seen the light after a sex scandal forced him out of Fayetteville. Believe him or not, […]

We all knew this was coming, right? At some point former Arkansas coach was going to sit down and bear his soul in an Oprah-on-the-couch type interview. He was going to talk about how apologetic he was, and how disappointed he was in himself that he hurt his family. He was going to talk about […]
