Harp on Sports - The Bar

In "The Bar" we looked at the Coaching Carnage as we now have 20 D1 Football jobs that have been filled or need to be filled.  With Lincoln Riley  taking the USC job we laid out why those criticizing him for being 'scared' of coaching in the SEC don't get it.   We discussed Billy Napier heading to Florida and warned Gators fans to pump the breaks on a quick turnaround.  We...

 With Dan Mullen being done at Florida we say The Gators need to ask the question, what are we?  We told you why Lane Kiffin should be the next head coach of Florida.   We also told you why Dan Mullen's next stop should be in the Lone Star State.   We wrapped by looking at what CFB Playoff will look like on Tuesday Night.

In "The Bar" we discussed the impact of Mel Tucker's potential new monster deal with Michigan St.  and how the B1G will now shape the off-season coaching search.   We also explored how Lane Kiffin will likely have his pick between Miami and Florida.   Bucs WR Antonio Brown is accused of obtaining a fake vaccine card.  If he did and used it Roger Goodell needs to suspend him for the...

In "The Bar" we looked at why it may be beneficial to Dan Mullen to channel his inner Tommy Tubberville and Tubby Smith.   With just 3 weeks left in the College Football Season we fired up the Heisman Hype express and why the B1G Conference have the leader in the clubhouse after this weekend.   We wrapped by discussing why Mike Norvell and Mike White should both be getting more respect f...

In "The Bar"  we looked at Dan Mullen's rough week and why his new OC and DC are ripe for the picking should Florida decide in making them a priority.   With the latest CFP Playoff poll release the paths are really simple for the top with the exception of one school.   We ended by discussing with the NFL took it so easy on Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.

 In "The Bar" we discussed KaDarius Toney's tweets telling people to cut Henry Ruggs III some for making a mistake, even though that mistake led to the death of a 23 year old women.     We looked at Rick Neuheisel's comments that Dan Mullen could be ready to leave Florida for the NFL and we ended with the Aaron Rodger's vaccination story and why his lying is actually embra...

In "The Bar" we looked at the first CFB Playoff Rankings and why the only team that has a legitimate concern of the contenders is Oklahoma.   We discussed why Matt Stafford's success with Rams should show all veterans and stars that loyalty to a city and team is overrated.  Losers love loyalty.   We also turned on the Coaching Carousel and put it on cruise control with where it shou...

In "The Bar" we looked at why the Panthers make sense for a DeShaun Watson trade only if the Bills become involved on the back end.   Roger Goodell has made close to $345 in 15 years as NFL Commissioner.  For the revenue and TV deals he has negotiated for the League he is actually underpaid.   In honor of UF-UGA getting ready to write a new chapter in Jacksonville we came up with Six gam...

In "The Bar" we looked at Tom Brady's ascension to a new level.  The Tom Hanks level.  With the Deshaun Watson trade all but done we look at Dolphins demand that will never allow this trade to actually be completed.   We ended by looking at two coaches and one GM that were criticized that now deserve a tip of the cap.

In "The Bar" we discussed BIG 12 commissioner Bob Bowlby's confusion as to how Texas and Oklahoma benefit by joining the SEC.  It's an A.T.M. decision   We looked at what the pending Deshaun Watson to the Dolphins trade would and could look like if completed before the deadline.  We also looked at the new NBA 75th anniversary team and why those "snubbed" only can be a...

In "The Bar" we looked at the reality check LSU, Florida and the rest of the conference must face going forward in regards to expectations and why down years happen.   If the SEC wanted to get serious about fan behavior the next time Tennessee fans behaved the way they did against Ole Miss they'd take a home conference game away from them the next year.  That'd end that garbage...

In "The Bar" we handed out our mid-season college football awards and looked at how our pre-season predictions are going.   We looked at some of the big buyouts that college football coaches have and why its a necessary way of doing business.  We wrapped by looking at MLB's stellar post-season but some moves must be made to the structure going forward.

In "The Bar"  we looked at cancellations from Jon Gruden to football practice at Oklahoma.   It's just easier to cancel now.  The City of Jacksonville green lit the new Four Seasons project.  Its goal isn't to serve the people that live in Jacksonville but the people who are visiting.  Next up, $200 million on a lid for TIAA Bank Stadium.  We ended by looking at the Rays season...

 In "The Bar'  we looked at Jon Gruden and Urban Meyer as we hit the weekend with two NFL Coaches in Crisis.   Every conference in America should have their eyes glued to the Iowa vs Penn State game and be wearing their Nittany Lion shirts.   We also gave you three NFL Trades we would like to see before the NFL Trade deadline.

In "The Bar" we looked at the mess Urban Meyer has gotten himself into in Jacksonville.   Can he wiggle out of it?   We looked at Tom Brady's return to Foxboro and tried to find a comp of any sports figure who could leave their current situation and return with that fanfare.  We also busted out the monocle with our MLB Post-season preview "Oracle of October".  A few World...

In "The Bar" in lieu of Tom Brady returning to New England we looked at why playing with the same team for your entire career is overrated.  Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, LeBron James and Joe Montana's careers were all more interesting because they 'left'.   Urban Meyer is 0-4 and everyone is trying to figure this out.  It's simple, look at Jimmy Johnson, Dick Vermeil...

In "The Bar" we looked at where we stand in the College Football Season now that we have hit the Quarter Post.    With the exception of Clemson most conference's heavy hitters look good out of the gate.    With the Ryder Cup ending with a Huge USA win we laid out a scenario in which a US vs The World Game could eventually replace the Pro Bowl and give us a Ryder Cup feel.  We ended...

In "The Bar" we talked about the release of the 2022 football schedule and why the big boys in the conference acted like big boys and the bottom feeders continue to eat chum.   Oregon Football Coach Mario Cristobal offered a 12 year old a football scholarship which is border line psychological abuse.   We told you why that's just reckless.  And we wrapped with with Ryder Cup and why...

In "The Bar" we discussed what should be an elite list of no more than Five guys who USC should target for one of the top Five jobs in all of college football.  We looked at the NFL's request for their franchises to start looking for an international city partnership.  Get ready for all 32 teams to have one game out of the US each season.   We wrapped by looking at the latest 30 for...

In "The Bar" we looked at the Jaguars pre-season finale and decision to trade Gardner Minshew.    Scott Frost 4th season, at Nebraska, begins with a loss to Illinois.  Why the Huskers need to be more patient.  ESPN was apparently duped by a high school football team from Ohio.  Everyone's outrage here is misguided and Max Scherzer is quickly becoming the second best right handed pit...

In "The Bar" we told you why everyone needs to pump the breaks when it comes to Urban Meyer and the Jaguars after just two pre-season games.  Trevor Lawrence shouldn't see the field until October, either.  With Dick Vermeil named a finalist for Canton we laid out the next five coaches who should be next in line.  We wrapped with the new CFB  Alliance between the B1G, PAC-12 and ACC...

In “The Bar” we looked at why it’s in the SEC’s best interest to assist the BIG 12 in expanding in lieu of the new alliance between the BIG, ACC and PAC-12.  We explained why the best thing for a successful college football season are vaxed “ONLY” stadiums.  The city of Jacksonville is going to pay $105 million over 30 years on a new indoor practice facility and office complex.  Lot J would have m...
