The GM Says....

• Northwestern....so close! You almost really helped the Big Ten's reputation. I would say that you did good and you proved that the Big Ten is better than people think BUT you lost. And at the end of all the bowl games that is the only thing people will care about. They won't care that you controlled the game against Missouri and you slowed down Chase Daniel. They will only care that the Big Ten lost.
• Andre Smith....oops. Apparently you are going pro after this season. From the sound of things you are basically already a pro. You will NOT be playing in the Sugar Bowl on Friday because you allegedly had improper contact with an agent. You need to be more discreet in your conduct big man. But good news for you....Todd McShay says you are the #2 player on the board for the draft. Enjoy your millions!!
• Auburn....pretty good signing. Yesterday you signed Gus Malzahn to run your offense. I like it. He is the guy behind the dynamic Tulsa offense this season and he should get the Auburn offense moving again. But isn't this his third school in like 3 years? Do you think he will stay long? I think he is after a coaching job and this is the next step....but use him for a couple years and get the offense scoring again.

• Roger Goodell....what??? Why move the Pro Bowl to the week before the Super Bowl? Do you think more people will tune in if you move it? Don't count on it. It doesn't matter when it is...no one gives a damn. It is a crappy game that players barely want to play in and fans surely don't want to see. Keep the game in Hawaii the weekend after the Super Bowl. If you want to boost ratings do a skills competition the day before and some people will tune in but not many.
• Coaches....watch out. Dick Jauron....you could be next. Guys like Marvin Lewis, Mike Shanahan, Herm Edwards, Jon Gruden, and Jim Zorn.....you all could be fired in the coming weeks. If I were you I would be getting my resume updated and get ready to look for work. Some of you are more likely to be fired than others but all of you should be concerned.

• Baron Davis....stay in LA. You made the decision in the offseason to sign with the Clippers and now you can suck it up and play hard every night for them. You say you want to go back (or that you would be OPEN to returning) to the Warriors but if that is the case why did you leave? Oh because you thought Elton Brand would stay there and you two could win a title....HAHA!! Oh well.

• Hoyas....big win. That is a very big and very good win for the Hoyas last night in Connecticut. UConn was the #2 team in the country and they just LOST on their home floor. Not good. It raises big questions about their team and also strengthens the feelings that the Big East is head and shoulders above the other conferences.
