the cbssports.com All-Decade Team, along with former Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson. Dennis Dodd writes:
Darren McFadden thought his career was over. The Arkansas running back was screaming into a cell phone that he was sorry. On the other end was coach Houston Nutt. McFadden almost severed his toe trying to break up a fight outside a Little Rock bar in the summer of ’06. With the season starting in less than two months, there was no way he would be ready, much less run for almost 1,700 yards. But McFadden was ready and Arkansas football was never the same. Because of his experience as a high school QB, McFadden became the Wild Hog, taking snaps in the shotgun. The tactic even spread all the way to the NFL. The Hogs rode D-Mac to the ’06 SEC Championship Game. Not bad for a guy who thought his career was over. The all-decade backfield were familiar with Heisman teases. McFadden was the runner-up in ’06 and ’07. Adrian Peterson might have been the best freshman runner of the decade, finishing second in the ’04 Heisman voting.
maybe the Bush (43) Administration would have paid attention if someone would have just told Dubya climate change/global warming was a national security risk.
It’s just a bunch of New York Times liberals trying to stir stuff up. Don’t they remember how cool and rainy it was in July?
to win, Springdale, AR native, former Arkansas Razorback and current Southern Cal Wide Receiver Damian Williams said……Aaron Corp. He was pretty diplomatic the other day on ESPN’s First Take, but I thought his comments were interesting considering his longtime connection with Mitch Mustain, a fellow former Hog & Springdale Bulldog (and USC’s third-string QB).
comments at Media Day, today, posted on the Razorbacks’ website. The coordinators, John L. Smith (Special Teams) Paul Petrino (Offense) and Willy Robinson (Defense) stepped to the mic, too.
Spending, Healthcare, Heckling and Hyperbole, the first by nationally syndicated columnist Ruben Navarrette Jr. and the second from CNN senior political analyst Gloria Borger.
I think Mr. Navarrette hits on the key issue in this mess, and the bailout fiascos in the last year. For far too long, there here have been plenty of people who have helped create the problems, and plenty of people who have griped about the proposed solutions but far too few who have stepped up to try and help fashion solutions that will work for the country, and not just their next bid for reelection.
“I never used steroids” in a press conference held at Yankee Stadium. He sais he was just careless in taking vitamins and supplements.
Interestingly, the Major League Baseball Players’ Association (unlike the immediate aftermath of other instances of alleged steroid use by stars like Alex Rodriguez and Manny Ramirez) sort of had Ortiz’ back, issuing a statement prior to the press conference in which it took a shot at the New York Times and questioned the fairness of the leaking of results that were supposed to be confidential, and provided the players no avenue to appeal or clear their names.
