If you follow me on Twitter or are friends with me on Facebook, you know that not only did I have to deal with the pain of seeing my Gators lose to Alabama, but I also had to change my profile picture and Twitter logo+background. Thankfully, I am no longer Nick Saban on Facebook. If […]

Maybe I jinxed the guy. I legitimately believed he was on freaking fire when I heard that he was not only representing C.J. Spiller, who I thought was the best running back in college football last year, but also Jimmy Clausen, Arrelious Benn, Taylor Mays, and Everson Griffen, all in one draft. Sometimes things are […]

Green for four games because he sold his jersey to Hawkins for $1,000, has no problem labeling Hawkins as an agent. Is he a financial advisor? A memorabilia collector? If he just […]
