Ugly

That's the way things are going to get when the, Mitchell Report (steroids & baseball) is unveiled on Thursday.

ESPN is planning six hours (1-6pm/EST) of coverage. Six hours!?

"The sources would not reveal the names of players included in the report, but confirmed that as many as 80 are listed. One lawyer expected several "very, very high-level names" to be exposed,"-ESPN

And yet for some reason . . .

Billy Chapel: The game doesn't stink, Mr. Wheeler. It's a great game.



Gus Sinski: You just throw whatever you got, whatever's left. The boys are all here for you. We're gonna be awesome for you right now!

Petrino resigns as Falcons coach, takes Arkansas job



Atlanta Falcon's Safety Lawyer Milloy wrote Coward across Petrino's letter. I've always loved Lawyer Milloy. I was frustrated by the handling of his release by the Patriots in 2003.

"Out of my respect for you, I am letting you know that, with a heavy heart, I resigned today as Head Coach of the Atlanta Falcons. This decision was not easy but was made in the best interest of me and my family."

Respect!? For a grown man to post a letter on the player's day off informing them of his resignation is cowardly, to happily accept the Arkansas job the same day shows a total lack judgment and character. Respect? You have no concept. I hope somehow, someway the Falcons win their last three games without you.

Falcon fans shouldn't weep for Petrino's departure, with character (or lack there of) like that it's best that Petrino is gone. Good luck to Arkansas. How sure can Arkansas athletic director Frank Broyles, be that Petrino will stick out his five year ($2.85 million/year) contract? After all he walked after just 13 games (3-10) as the Falcon's coach and prior to that he walked out on Louisville six months after signing a ten year contract extension.

"He preached team and he preached family and then he quit on us. That's not what a man does."
~Atlanta Falcons Quarterback Joey Harrington on former head coach Bobby Petrino's departure

"This league is not for everybody. This league is for real men. I think he realized he didn't belong here."
~Falcons Safety Lawyer Milloy.

Again, Lawyer you rock.

I'd say that on his travels Coach Petrino should try to avoid Hartsfield International Airport (ATL), cause Bobby, you ran away like a scared child.
