Mel Kiper thinks college overtime is for sissies

If you’re looking for hard nosed, old school analysis of the NFL, guys like Dr. Z and Len Pasquarelli have nothing on Mel Kiper.  Kipes thinks those who want changes to the current NFL rules on things like overtime are metaphorical vaginas.  According to an ESPN Insider piece:

When college football games go to overtime, what does Mel Kiper do?

“I turn games off when games go to overtime in college—turn ‘em off!”

He said college overtime rules are a “J-O-K-E,” and yes, he did spell it out.

Kiper was happy that the NFL recently decided not to review its sudden-death overtime procedure. It is controversial because a coin toss decides who gets the ball first in the extra period.

But as long as there is overtime, Kiper said if your defense can’t stop the other team to get the ball back for your offense, then you don’t deserve to win the game. “You don’t deserve to play the game at all.”

Oh, and if you still think NFL overtime should be like college football’s overtime, this is what Kiper has to say to you:

“If you think like a loser, you will be for the overtime being extended. If you think like a winner, you’re satisfied with the system.”

Imagine the irony—this man calling someone a loser.  ###MORE###

Crap that actually came out of somebody’s mouth

“That lineup is going to be very explosive.  I like the addition of Raul Ibanez in that lineup.  It’s going to make Ryan Howard even better” – Eric Young

Damn right it is.  Finally he’s no longer hitting in front of that bum Pat Burrell and his 33 HR, .367 OBP, .507 SLG and instead will get to feast on those fastballs that come as a result of being in front of Ibanez and his 23 HR, .358 OBP and .479 SLG.

So sweeping through the first two rounds proves that the Huskies, even without Jerome Dyson, are the favorite to win the title. – Andy Katz

Part of the fun of railing on the mainstream media is in reading comments like these. 

It’s not that Uconn isn’t worthy of the favorite tag, it’s that Andy Katz has decided that it’s definitive that Uconn, the fourth No. 1 seed, has now leapt above their fellow No. 1 seeds because of the way they beat…Chattanooga and Texas A&M.  

Pardon us, if we’ll hold off on the dramatic proclamations based on the first two rounds of the Tournament.

No matter what you drive, Howie Long has a long list of reasons of why it makes you an inferior man who probably prances around in a bra and panties every Tuesday night.
