Gameday Opens with East Carolina...

ESPN's College Football Gameday will open up the season Saturday September 1st in Blacksburg, Virginia when Va Tech plays the EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY PIRATES. Obviously the network did not want to see the Hokies play any of the other powerhouses on their schedule like Ohio, William and Mary or Duke. Why wait to profit on Va Tech's tragedy? Let's do it the first week of the season! Va Tech could have said, "No, come back when we play our big in-state rival William and Mary. Its going to be a great game, JMU almost beat us in Michael's redshirt freshman year, the Tribe will give us a run for our money this year."

Other potential sites that Gameday could have gone to had they cared about their product are FSU at Clemson, Colorado v. Colorado State (in Denver), Georgia Tech at Notre Dame or ABC's featured Saturday night game Tennessee v. Cal in Berkeley. Instead we will hear about the great atmosphere of Blacksburg on a Thursday night, how Lee Corso's car got hit by lightening back when Michael Vick was in school, how Beamer's face got burned, and how the Hokies can win more than a single game in November this year.

We are not eager to see the big cry fest in Blacksburg months after the shooting took place. Parents of victims will be complaining about how Memorial Fund money is being spent and who is on the committee to examine the tragedy all while Enter Sandman is being played in the background, great atmosphere. We will be mourning at 9 am on Saturday morning rather than celebrating the start of another football season all thanks to the brilliant programming managers at ESPN.

Great Take From Loser with Socks : College Gameday Will Open the Season at Va Tech

Blatant Discrimination or Were They Pulling Tigger's Tale?

Four Florida State football commitments were kicked off of Walt Disney property over the weekend in Orlando, Florida. Five future players were at Downtown Disney when they were asked to move on and stop loitering late Saturday evening. All but one chose not to listen to security and stayed where they were. Later on in the night security came back by and escorted the four remaining teens off the property after banning them officially as well as finger printing each future Seminole.

All four individuals involved were black and one of the future Noles' father is a civil rights lawyer so Mickey Mouse better get his own lawyer because there is a good chance Jesse Jackson is coming to throw down in O-Town soon. To add fuel to the fire the future Noles' claim that 45 of the 46 people banned from Disney property this weekend were either black or Puerto Rican. For the purposes of full disclosure it should be noted that Puerto Rico is not good enough to be a state or a country, the U.S. owns it like Doug Brown owns his dog Peyton.

So far the news that has come out has been pretty one sided for the players but we are interested to see what Disney says these diabolical loiterers were doing. Rivals' FSU affiliate WarChant.com spent much of the day Wednesday trying to cover up the incident by monitoring their message boards to make sure little to nothing was posted on the subject. I don't think they need to worry about a clean image, FSU hasn't had that since the seventies anyway.

Shuler Disappoints at RFK Again

North Carolina 11th District Congressional Representative Heath Shuler was a disappointment at RFK Stadium over the weekend as the Democrats lost the first two games of the 46th Annual Roll Call Congressional Baseball best of five game series. Despite putting on a show in batting practice, including hitting four home runs out of RFK Stadium, Shuler went hitless on the day. RFK has has always been tough on Heath.

The Washington Posts' Amy Argetsinger replied to my inquiry on whether they planned to publish another article on how Heath did as follows:

"We'll have it in tomorrow's column... GOP won, 5-2. Sadly, Heath Shuler grounded out on his first at bat, struck out the second two times.... Thanks for writing! -- Amy"

Here is the article Amy was referring to above (link).

The Democrats had lost five straight years coming into the weekend but with five freshman Congressman on their team there was a new hope for the party in 2007. The team now will have to dig itself out of a deep hole if they are to stop the losing streak this year. Maybe Nancy Pelosi can give the Donkeys a rah rah speech to get'em fired up.

It is good to see Congress is out having a good time because is not like they don't have any unresolved issues going on at the moment, only a war in the Middle East and boarder security with Mexico, those are minor.

Mungion Roundin the Bases One Last Time

The Elizabethton Twins had an off day Thursday but their ballpark was still put to good use as a funeral procession entered their Joe O'Brien Stadium and the casket was led around the bases by the Twins coaching staff. The casket contained the body of 61 year old Moe Riddle who was a lifelong fan of the mountain town's Rookie League baseball team.

Riddle had down syndrome but still attended nearly every game in recent years. He was known for his antics such as wearing a football helmet in the stands and could be heard cheering throughout the small ballpark. Riddle would tell other fans that it was his birthday every game and then ask for money endearing himself to fans whom knew it was not his birthday as he had told them the same thing last week.

South Carolina Lineman Shanked

USC offensive lineman Quentin Richardson was stabbed after getting into an argument over the weekend in Columbia, South Carolina. Richardson, set to be a freshman this fall, is a four star Rivals recruit who is listed at 6'4", 270 pounds. Anyone messing with that dude has got to be crazy. Our bet is its gonna come back that some nut job like Demetrius Summers (see picture to the right) is the shanker in this incident.

Richardson is recuperating in the hospital after undergoing surgery Sunday afternoon. He is expected to be fine and released later this week. He has had many visitors including one very pissed off Steve Spurrier. Can't you see S.O.S. in the hospital room throwing his Master's visor while he is lecturing Richardson on not getting stabbed?

Why I Hate Georgia This Week...

Introducing contributor J. Dredd who will be posting material about his life in Georgia this summer as well contribute other vibrant material to 12th Street Chatter.

We all know it already, Georgia sucks. Maryland and Washington even think that Georgia sucks. I am forced to live down here right out side the capital of scum itself, Atlanta, with Vick the Governor of trash. I am in the middle of the UGA "Dawgpound" where I am constantly barked and argued with about SEC football. I am now sick of it and its time to rant so here it is: The Reasons I Hate Georgia.

The reason I hate Georgia today is that people here will not admit that they are lower in life then a crippled orphan with fetal alcohol syndrome. I will personally drive every resident to AA and force them to admit their addiction to being terrible people, because it is the first step to recovery. (God knows that they can't recover, but they may still think they have a chance)

The other day I was having a beer and enjoying what little peace I get in a day and before I knew it I heard the drunk ramblings of local yokels. Low and behold three UGA fans stroll on up with collars popped and reeking of Smitches. (Don't know what a smitch is? Then you probably are one, Smitch). Apparently two of the girl interns I work with got picked up by them from a stop light and they took the girls to a bowling alley. Nice work Romeo, nothing like hurling balls at pins to cement yourself for scoring tonight. Anyways, I told them that I go to UT and then the barking starts. A swift kick to the throat to the "leader Smitch" quickly ended that. After a few minutes I granted them permission to speak to me again and we talked about football. After hearing how much UGA is better then UT (51-33?) and how great of an arm Stafford has, it was time that I had to rip their poorly expressed opinions to hell. After ruining their sh!@ they had time to realize how pathetic their existence is, so they then jumped off a bridge. I say Good Riddance and that Stafford has the same chance to win the Heisman as Lt. Dan has to win an ass kicking contest. I now dare someone in Georgia to argue that UGA is better then UT without quoting ESPN verbatim.

Hey congrats, you watched Sports Center and your brain hasn't been completely ruined by the fact your mother is your dad's sister that you can spit up the facts again while in a debate. Form your own damn opinions and stop telling me Stuart Scott's.

End Transmission...

Snap Out These Dreads and Put That Sh!@ in a Perm

Adam 'Pacman' Jones turned himself in to Las Vegas authorities on Friday and was released on a lot of bail money. Jones has a court date scheduled for July 23 in Vegas to address the charges at hand. The early line at the Bellagio on Pacman missing the court date is 1 to 8.

Pacman showed up for his mugshot with an impressive new look having shaved his head. One can only assume he was getting clean for an encounter at a strip club later in the evening and look at that picture, what stripper could deny Pacman of a lap dance?

You can look forward to seeing Pacman on an episode of Dateline NBC's To Catch a Predator in August a la Marcus Vick. We can't wait.

Women's Volleyball a Second Tier Sport? Naaaw

This is the first time we have been thrilled with Comcast in some time as with all cable companies they suck. But they did come out against Title IV declaring that women's volleyball is a second tier sport and that they can't be bullied into showing it on their regular packages. The network will show games that are not picked up by one of the main broadcast networks or ESPN as well as offering classic footage.

The disagreement is one that is reminiscent of the dispute that the NFL Network had with cable companies where the cable companies did not want to put the channel into base packages arguing it was a niche market. It is very similar here, but the main difference is that the Big Ten Network is only trying to be a basic channel in Big Ten states. Comcast eventually caved in due to consumers demanding the NFL Network and will be showing it on basic packages beginning in July. One would have to assume there is much less demand for college sports, especially in the North, and the Big Ten might have more trouble than the heavy handed NFL did.

Its great that someone is finally telling television networks that no one wants to see women's college volleyball on television, especially women's volleyball from Iowa. If Comcast had blatantly said women's volleyball holds no purpose they would be dead wrong. It allows the football team to offer more scholarships while keeping in compliance with Title IV rules.

We could see this causing MTV to do an Ashton Kutcher spinoff reality show from his alma mater. If Three 6 Mafia can get a Kutcher show then there is no reason that Iowa can't get one.

Towers Laughs at Social-Norms

Toronto Blue Jay Josh Towers is a revolutionary as it is clearly illustrated in the picture to the left. See, Towers is a pitcher and wears the number 7. In the baseball world this is the equivalent of a shortstop wearing the number 103. Pitchers can't wear a number below 15, let alone a single digit number.

You might argue that pitchers can wear lower numbers, in fact some very good players did. Babe Ruth wore number 3 and he was the a heckuva pitcher before he was the greatest slugger of all-time. That was back in the day and uniform numbers had just been invented. It was acceptable at the time but the equipment managers would soon come to their senses.

Roger Clemens wore 12 when he joined the Yankees in free agency the first time in 1999. We can only assume that Steinbrenner flipped his sh!@ when he realized what was going on and wouldn't allow his organization to give out the number anymore to a pitcher. Clemens now wears 22 for the Yankees.

We hope this will not be the start of a trend in baseball. The sport has a number of problems already including steroids, lack of interest in the game and soaring salaries. Baseball doesn't need controversial numbers becoming a hot button issue as well. But we do wish good luck to Josh Towers and his quest to give single digit numbers worn by pitchers viability in the eyes of players, owners and fans. We will continue to follow Towers and his numerical mission.

Its Been a Tough Decade

On Monday the Orioles fired manager Sam Perlozzo who saw the team to a dismal 122-164 under his watch. This will do absolutely nothing positive for the Orioles in the present or future. The organization is in complete and utter disarray these days from top to bottom. The O's have gone from a team in the 60's and 70's that clubs modeled their teams after to a laughing stock that is hard pressed to get fans to beautiful Camden Yards these days. The minor league system is in shambles, the Nationals just moved into D.C. what could be next?

Well owner Peter Angelos could make things worse by going out and signing a former Cubs General Manager, that would be horrible. Wait what did he do? He goes out and hires Andy McPhail that built the forgettable teams of the late 1990's for the Southsiders. If you think things can't get worse in Charm City, wait until a man that ran the Cubs now runs your team.

Joe Girardi interviewed for the job this morning and with all due respect, he is crazy for even considering this position right now. Girardi is an up and coming manager and the last thing he needs to do is throw himself in the middle of the dead end job that is the Orioles managerial position right now.

Big John Gettin Hype

Jacksonville Jaguar John Henderson is a veteran that helps form the most intimidating defensive line in the NFL with Marcus Stroud. The Pro Bowl defensive tackle has never missed an NFL game in his six years in the league. Henderson also won the Outland Trophy as a junior at Tennessee for being the best offensive/defensive lineman in college football.

After watching this video you won't ever think of any of that again when seeing Big John play on Sunday.

Happy Trails Slick Shelley

Slick Shelley who had a very unremarkable two years with Tennessee has decided to transfer to Tulsa. The native of Fort Smith, Arkansas will be remembered more at UT for his unique (gangsta) name than anything else. Injuries in his first two years took their toll on the highly recruited Shelley. With a loaded incoming recruiting class of wideouts Shelley decided it was time to transfer as he had the blessing of the Vols coaching staff.

In 2005 after Nashville's Patrick Turner turned down the Vols' scholarship offer and went to Southern Cal, Slick was a must get in the final weeks of recruiting but things never panned out once he arrived on campus. Have fun with the Golden Hurricane Slick.

The Wild, Wild West

Jimmy Wilson (second team All Big Sky, not pictured) has been suspended by the University of Montana indefinitely after he turned himself in on murder charges Tuesday. The craziest thing about this is that Wilson was not suspended from the Grizzlies until Friday. He has a pretty good alibi if the coach is angry as to why he wasn't in the weight room or participating in seven on sevens between Tuesday and Friday. When he says he was in a bind and couldn't make practice he wasn't lying, he was in prison awaiting to be arraigned on first degree murder charges.

In Montana this isn't a case of Virginia Tech being bad and the University of Virginia being a school that's athletes behave either. Montana has no team with discipline. Montana State has kicked a player off of their team for murder charges (as well as a basketball player) and fired their coach due to the problems their program has had in the last couple years.

With all the incidents the state has had recently I'm amazed my old man was pushing me to apply to Montana State out of high school. I mean hell I could have had all the fun the Montana or State football team has down in Newport News and Hampton Roads at the homes of Hokies without driving 2,000 miles to school a semester. On a postive note I hear Shane Beamer is out there looking for a head coaching gig. Maybe he can right the ship for the Grizz.

Michael Vick - Update and SNL's REAAAAALLLY

A couple noteworthy pieces from Deadspin:

In case you were planning on sending your child to Michael Vick's football camp you can be expecting a return of your deposit in the mail as it was canceled for 'scheduling reasons.' Vick might be anticipating a couple meetings with the feds, but hey maybe Marcus has some openings in his camp. I hear he takes the kids to McDonalds everyday for lunch.

Buffalo Bill linebacker Josh Stamer and his wife are not happy at all with the former Hokie's hobby.

South Carolina was a convenient dumping ground between Atlanta and Newport News.

Vick's cousin gets all dressed up for an interview by WAVY local news. Evidently its a conspiracy.

In case you were caught up in all the craziness surrounding the Michael Vick dog fighting investigation this is not the first time the athlete has courted controversy.

Exhibit A: Vick attempts to board plane in Miami with suspicious carry ons

Bryant, No Saban Runs QB Off Team

Alabama has lost back up quarterback Jimmy Barnes in an episode the Tide faithful will surely compare with Bear Bryant's 'Junction Boys' training camp. According to Barnes he would 'not give up his dignity to Saban' just to stay on the football team. Barnes' attitude might explain why Alabama has lost 10 of 12 to Tennessee and dropped five straight to Auburn. Just like the Bear, Saban is running off everyone who isn't fit for the premier program in the state of Alabama ergh city of Tuscaloosa, forgot about Auburn these days.

The Sabanists will hail this as a victory that shows Alabama is a step closer to reclaiming its glory but we aren't so sure. This leaves Alabama with a freshman third stringer, Greg McElroy, as the current back up. Being a freshman McElroy has no game experience under his belt, other than the spring game that a handful of people showed up to. Its good to have players that want to be on the roster but this could come back to haunt the Tide in the short term. At least Brodie Croyle has graduated so it won't be guaranteed that McElroy will see the field this year.

Call the Patron Saint of Athletes

All-Universe Super Prep Jimmy Clausen had surgery on his throwing elbow Wednesday. Head Coach Charlie Weis immediately asked for an audience with Pope Bendict to address the injury. We were just assuming the second part of that actually, but if Weis did make the request to the Vatican they would have to listen because Clausen is the savior of their football program right? At worst the Irish can throw some prayers Sebastians' way.

The injury which reportedly bothered Clausen in his senior high school season should not cause him to miss any practices in August. Well just as long as he is ready for Army, Navy, Air Force, Stanford and Duke the Irish will be alright.

Junior Teaming with Gordon, Johnson

Dale Earnhardt Junior has shocked the racing world as it appears he will be racing for Hendrick Motor Sports next year according to sources way closer to the situation than we are. The change will purportedly take place in 2008 and Kyle Busch will leave the team. That is disappointing as having Miller Lite and Budweiser (who is sure to follow Junior) as sponsors on the same team could have lead to some interesting beer pongs and flip cup games in the infield. Which is smoother to get down your throat in a six pack chugging race? Does the carbonation of Budweiser adversely affect the bouncing of a ping pong ball in flip cup? We will never know.

Junior will have to get another number since DEI owns the rights to the 8 and won't be giving it up. If he is smart he will try to wrestle the 21 off the Little Debbie car. 21 is destined for great things, its a solid number it just needs a little bit to put it over the top.

This move will pair up Junior with Jeff Gordon, the man who nearly caused a riot in Alabama when he won at Talladega in April passing Junior's father on the all-time career win list. The partisans in Alabama don't like Gordon and his teammate Jimmie Johnson and the way Jimmie spells his name only partly explains this. Being born outside of a former Confederate State and not having 'paid dues' are probably the other reasons.

At Least It Wasn't Coke Coach Meyer

Tailback Brandon James and basketball player Brandon Powell were arrested by Gainesville Police in an undercover police sting. Both athletes were suspended indefinitely by the athletic department.

Given Urban Meyer's recent history with suspending players James will probably be miss the first two games against Western Kentucky and Troy State , play against Tennessee and be suspended again against Ole Miss. Urban Legend needs to make sure his players are there to play the big boys. Powell is expected to have a larger role on this year's basketball team as the Gators are about to be dismantled by the NBA lottery. Powell is ofcourse from Memphis and continuing to expand the great reputation of the city that I live in. Way to keep it dope boi fresh.

Could they have been picking up something for Joakim Noah? With his dancing after winning the SEC Championship we couldn't rule it out.

Pacman Drops Appeal

Adam "Pacman" Jones dropped his appeal of his season long suspension Tuesday, possibly when he realized he was appealing to Roger Goodell the same man who gave him the suspension he is appealing. We hold out hope that Pacman will throw a suspension party and one of our friends in Nashville will get get us in for free. Goodell still has not taken into account the club shooting in Vegas that Pacman allegedly incited which left a bouncer paralyzed. Charges are still pending in the case.

Put your money on it in Vegas and credit us later, Pacman will have another 'run in' with the cops in the next month but it will not involve a strip club much to many peoples' surprise. Taking classes online at West Virginia University can't keep you that occupied, got to get the fuzz involved and keep things interesting.

If Pac and Chris Henry do make it back to campus while suspended, they would make great mentors for Pat White and the rest of the Mountaineers.

Lion Touches Stripper

That headline could lead to some crazy scenarios in our minds but its not too wild right now for Shaun Rogers who seems to have been tamed by the po po. A stripper at a club in Detroit claims she was 'inappropriately' touched' by the former Texas Longhorn late Thursday night and filed a report with the police. Charges have yet to be filed by the prosecutor so Rogers might yet escape Roger Goodells' great vengeance and furious anger. Its getting pretty bad for the Lions when they can't even score at a strip club in their hometown.

Rogers who had was expected to be a major contributor on the defensive line after a big 2005 season was a disappointment last year only playing in six games due to injury. Last Chance Gentleman's Club isn't the best place to rehab those injuries, ask any big time star in the NFL, well not Pacman, but anyone else. We do applaud Rogers on not going up to the strip clubs in the UP. According to Prime Minister Ed Davis its hard to tell the difference between the bears and girls up there.

It could be worse though, he could be that other Rogers, Charlie, that used to play in the league and now is running 4.8 40's at tryout camps.

Vols' Mears Passes Away

Ray Mears, the winningest coach in Tennessee basketball history, died Monday in Knoxville at 80 years old. Mears is the most beloved men's coach UT ever had. He won three SEC Championships and endeared himself to fans with his humorous personality coaching the Vols from 1963-1977. His teams included such legends Ernie Grunfeld and Bernard King. Mears also coined the term 'Big Orange Country' and donned an orange sport coat at games. Bruce Pearl has paid tribute to Mears the past two seasons wearing the orange sport coat at big games with Mears' permission.

Many of you reading this might be astounded that Tennessee had decent men's basketball teams before Bruce Pearl arrived but this is true, the Vols had some ballas. UT has the biggest basketball arena in the south, can't fill it up but its the biggest, ballin'.

Clemens Signed With the Yankees?

I think we might have missed the headlines, but when did 44 year old Roger Clemens sign with the Yankees? I thought he was retired watching his son Koby toil in the minors. Evidently that's not the case as he signed a prorated $28 million contract for one season. I guess I missed the first three starts that the Rocket made in the minors that were covered on ESPN. The crazy thing is that when I tried to watch him pitch against the hapless Pirates Saturday in the MAJOR LEAGUES, ESPN was showing billiards, spelling bee or something from the 'E' Entertainment of 'ESPN.' I checked Fox and SportsSouth without any success and finally realized he was only the local YES Network. Memphis Comcast does not supply the YES Network surprisingly.

Now if ESPN gave the whole country access to three starts IN THE MINORS you think that they might send a D level announcer like Rick Sutcliffe to Yankee Stadium to help there viewing public out and take over the contract from the YES Network. Send Jim Rome to give his 'take', he's under contract. Heck, they were showing Clemens in Trenton, New Jersey the other night and you couldn't even see him through on the field through all of the Jersey fog (read pollution.) ESPN back at it again.

Nugget Gets Tasered

In one of the funnier developments over the weekend Denver Nugget bench warmer DerMarr Johnson would not cooperate with a police officer outside of a Colorado night club. This caused him to promptly be tasered by authorities. He was later charged with resisting arrest and interfering with police along with two other ladies.

So who the heck is DerMarr Johnson? Is it the guy that rubs down Carmelo after games? Well we aren't sure on that one, but he did play for Bob Huggins at Cincinnati which seems to correlate with the arrest. I mean who else did you recruit Coach? A kid named Jihad? Jihad Muhammad? In the scheme of things in life, DerMarr isn't very important, not important enough to be in our fantasy league anyway.

Maybe It Was Memphis....

John Daly has had some ups and downs in his life. Its safe to say today was probably a downer for the golfer from Arkansas. Daly showed up Friday at the Stanford St. Jude Classic in Memphis with abrasions on his face claiming that his wife attacked him with a steak knife the night before. He filed a police report on the incident with the Shelby County Sheriff's Department.

Now this tournament is in Memphis, but most of the time when attacked with a knife in town this isn't how it goes down. First of all its not a steak knife that's used, its usually a box cutter/screw driver with duct tape on it. Also this normally doesn't go down in a nice hotel like Daly was staying at, think more Orange Mound or Frayser. Why didn't he just go back after her with a knife rather than ratting her out to the po-lice? You have to keep it real to the streets John!

Earl Weaver Giving the What For

Great video on Hall of Fame manager Earl Weaver of the Baltimore Orioles. (It has some cursing in it.) Earl doesn't like being told he blew more World Series than he won evidently...



We would probably pay $41 to hear what Bobby Cox says to get run when he finally gets the all time record.

Another Reason to Go Back to Nawlins

Louisiana is continuing its push to be named the worst state in the nation. Forget that they had a congressman indicted this week for taking over half a million dollars in bribes; certain New Orleans residents robbed the mother of deceased New England Patriot Marquise Hill WHILE HIS FUNERAL WAS GOING ON. This is right up there with state troopers planting drugs in spring breakers' cars and Mayor Nagin going to Baton Rouge rather than staying in the Superdome when Katrina hit.

There are really few things I can imagine that would be worse than taking advantage of a grieving family while they attend a funeral of their son. Its bad enough the former LSU Tiger died so young, but then these bums steal $16,000 worth of belongings.

This story has flown in under the radar but it is not too surprising this has happened. The fact that Louisianians who have fled out of New Orleans and contributed to record crime rates in Houston, Little Rock, Memphis and Jackson (Mississippi) has not been reported either in the mainstream media either.

With any luck those people that committed the crime against Hill's mom will be caught and rot in Angola for many years.

Upshaw Union Boss (Commie) Threatens Ex-Lineman

The NFLPA seems to be using mob tactics these days as they are recklessly going after Hall of Fame lineman Joe DeLamielleure who was O.J. Simpson's lead blocker in the 1970's for the Bills. In an interview with the Philadephia Daily News the NFLPA President Gene Upshaw stated, "A guy like DeLamielleure says the things he said about me; you think I'm going to invite him to dinner? No. I'm going to break his . . . damn neck." Seems like you might or might now break his neck Gene, but he's on his way to ending up in a trunk in Jersey.

Wish this was not the case but it seems to be all too common for unions to use unnecessary force. It can be physical or financial but the goal is to achieve things that will only benefit a few at the top of the union. You have the NFL making millions today while players from the sixties can't walk straight due to concussions and are being denied benifits by union doctors to save a few dollars to defend the likes of Pacman Jones and Ray Lewis. Unions continue to be a pervasive communist threat and unless current players stand up against this boss Upshaw they will be sent down the path of the Russian mob by their 'leader.' Mike Minter will be walking around crippled cashing Medicare checks at the Publix as well. This is what happens when the University of Miami has more players in the NFL than any other school...
