My Expectations For The 2012 Michigan Football Season

Posted on August 29, 2012 by Jeff Weintraub

This coming season for Michigan is an intriguing one.  If they upset Alabama this Saturday in Dallas, you can guarantee that they will again overachieve.  A football team with confidence and momentum is almost more dangerous than a well-rounded team … Continue reading →

My Personal Review Of Shane Morris

Posted on August 25, 2012 by Jeff Weintraub

I attended my first Pioneer football game in about three years on Friday night.  Overall, I can say that some things had changed, and yet some hadn’t whatsoever.  The new entrance to Holloway Field is gorgeous.  I’m extremely jealous of … Continue reading →

The NHL Standstill: September 15th Is Coming

Posted on August 22, 2012 by Jeff Weintraub

I wouldn’t expect anything good to happen on the NHL front anytime soon.  The NHL Owners hated the proposal that the NHLPA submitted, and the players thought that it was pretty fair.  This always spells disaster when negotiating a new … Continue reading →

Minnesota Claims A National Championship…108 Years later.

Posted on August 21, 2012 by Jeff Weintraub

This to me is a complete joke.  It’s just like Alabama claiming a National Championship in a bunch of their odd years, where they had exactly zero reason to claim a national championship.  Alabama claimed a National Title in 1941 … Continue reading →

Madden 13 Commercials: Paul Rudd vs. Ray Lewis

Posted on August 21, 2012 by Jeff Weintraub

I am not a fan whatsoever with the direction this year’s Madden game is going.  It started when they put Calvin on the cover and destined him and the Lions to be jinxed, and it continued when they removed some … Continue reading →

The WAC Conference Will End Competing In Football In 2013, Shocker.

Posted on August 20, 2012 by Jeff Weintraub

The Western Athletic Conference was in trouble as soon as teams started to shuffle conferences to make more money.  Currently the WAC has seven football members, and apparently five of them are planning on leaving after this year, and the … Continue reading →

Posted on August 18, 2012 by Jeff Weintraub

So I’m finally home from Colorado Springs and in the process of unpacking my whole life that I brought with me (aka I haven’t started yet).  It’s even more sad that we finally moved out of the house on South … Continue reading →

Thank You Jalen Rose

Posted on August 9, 2012 by Jeff Weintraub

I was wondering when it would finally happen, but Jalen Rose finally came out and voiced his opinion on the USA Women’s Gymnastics team being called the “Fab Five,” and I was thrilled.  He’s absolutely right; it can and should … Continue reading →

Why I’ve Hardly Watched ESPN All Summer

Posted on August 8, 2012 by Jeff Weintraub

Haven’t written on the blog for a while and so I’m just going on a rampage today.  And thank you Austin Shapiro for noticing the poor grammar in my original title and fixing it. ESPN for a while was running … Continue reading →
