EA, ESPN announce 15-year gaming partnership
This should piss off just about all of the gaming community. It's cool to hate the mainstream favorite even if it's a hell of a game. Last month they signed an exclusive deal with the NFL and the NFLPA, and now they've grabbed the ESPN brand name and personalities too.
ESPN NCAA 2006 or whatever they call is going to freaking rule.

Wow, look how close Dusty Mangum's game winning kick came to being blocked. I guess it was just meant to be.
There's a ton more fantastic images here.

Fantasy Football Addiction
Mike and Keith both had posts about their fantasy football league, and I have to agree it's one of the most fun things I've done in years. I ended up finishing third in my league, partly because the Eagles clinched so early and gave McNabb time off.

Be a UT football assistant coach
I guess it's state law that all University job openings must be openly posted. If you want to be the next running backs coach at Texas all you have to is apply and be able to deal with exposure to large crowds.
Maybe I should apply, but I only have one year of coaching experience.
Maybe I can fib a little like George O'Leary did.

The NYC media pissed Chad Pennington off and rather than trying to explain why to that very same group of people, Mark Cuban suggests he should start his own weblog. Not a bad idea.
