1) Mike Zimmer interviewing with the Browns.  Good for Mike.  Bad for the Bengals.  If he gets the gig, the reaction is going to be interesting. "Mike Zimmer should be an NFL head coach" applies even to the teams we don't like.

2) The one bright side of no one making into Cooperstown: We don't have to have the lame debate what teams inductees should represent on their plaques.  I've always thought they should go in as baseball players, not specific team-members.  We would've had this debate for Schilling, Clemens, and Piazza, and I would've been fatigued by it after about 90 seconds.

3) The disingenuous-ness of the "the writers punished the entire era" argument.  The people covering the sport were complicit in the steroid era, ignoring what was happening to the sport right under their noses. 

4) Everyone should be fired.  The lesson I've learned doing sports-talk radio for a living is that any issue can be solved by firing someone.  I shudder to think what our society would look like if he fired every employee after every mistake, after every bad day at work.

The latest silliness: checking out my timeline after Monday's UC loss, I see that it's time to fire Mick Cronin.  Makes total sense to get rid of the guy who just rebuilt the program midway through a season where his team has been ranked in the top 25, all while conference uncertainty hovers over the program. "Fire Mick Guy" makes it next to impossible to talk UC hoops when the going isn't so good.

5) Brian Kelly interviewing with the Eagles.  Is he using this for leverage to get more money from Notre Dame?  Potentially.  Is Notre Dame his "dream job?" It was.  Maybe it isn't now.  Dreams change.  Goals change.  Perspectives change.  Dollar amounts change.  So too, will the attitude of many Notre Dame fans about getting upset when coaches change jobs if BK does indeed head east.

This was quick, so let me offer up something of length (insert joke here): Paul Dehner Jr of GoBearcats.com had me on his Inside The Bearcats podcast.  We spent 45 minutes talking about UC's offense, Shaq Thomas, scheduling, buffets, my brush with Dennis Rodman, and baseball managers using cell phones and the possible disasters that could result from it.  Listen to it here.
