Dickie V, get well
Vitale, you drive us nuts anymore, but your enthusiasm and passion for college basketball has helped the game tremendously.

Some Early 2007 Best of Des Moines’
Gotta’ love the annual best of Des Moines….
Best sports bar: Legend’s 50th and Mills Civic. Like a Vegas sports book. Stop by and you’ll see exactly what I talking about.
Public golf course: Copper Creek, Pleasant Hill. Two completely different 9s. They can level the 10th hole and you won’t hear me complain.
Sports radio caller: Duke [...]

Game 2
The Missouri [...]

Weekend Primer
My moles say the weather in New England (just got hit with 6 plus inches) going to be bad for Sunday’s Jets/Patriots game. Foxboro is closer to Providence, R.I. than Boston and the coast won’t get hit by the N’or Easter as bad. I know, I sound like John McLaughlin! Still think Pats will put [...]
Petrino skips town - Lawyer Milloy reponds
Before Bobby Petrino skipped out on the Falcons, he penned a brief note to the players, which was placed in their lockers.
“Atlanta Falcons players;
Out of my respect for you, I am letting you know, with a heavy heart, I resigned today as the Head Coach of the Atlanta Falcons. This decision was not easy but [...]
