This Syracuse/ESPN Child Molestation Story is about to explode



I'm sorry that I haven't been paying much attention to this whole "Bernie Fine molesting ballboys at Syracuse" story because frankly I got so burned out on the Penn State shitstorm. Now it looks like not only did Bernie and his batshit crazy wife have sex with this ballboy but ESPN had proof of it back in 2003 with a recording. And ESPN did nothing with it? Holy shit!

ESPN and Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim have a whole lot of explaining to do. Boeheim came out last week and flat out said the ballboys were lying and trying to get money because of the Sandusky story in Penn State. Boeheim was clearly trying to support his friend who has been an assistant coach for more than 30 years at Syracuse but in the process he made himself look like a complete asshole. And why the fuck wouldn't ESPN talk to Boeheim about the allegations that are proven true on the tape when it surfaced 8 years ago? If anything ESPN should have gone to the cops with the tape but from my understanding they just sat on it because they wanted the exclusive story.

Is the world going crazy or am I just a drunk idiot who can't figure this shit out? All I know is that I'm 100% positive if this shit happened around me I don't care who it is I'm reporting it to the police to at least investigate.

Victoria Secret Fashion Show Was Disappointing



We already knew the Victoria Secret Fashion Shows were extremely overrated but they pretty much dropkicked America in the balls last night by not including SportsCrack favorites Brooklyn Decker and Kate Upton. That's just a pure UnAmerican move. Upton and Decker are without a question the hottest "American" models and instead you throw a bunch of Amazonian stick figures up there. It's insulting. And yeah I know Decker and Upton are Swimsuit Models but I don't give a shit. You get them in your show. This isn't the minor leagues here. The Victoria Secret Show is suppose to be the Bigs and yet they went little. Total socialist move right there.

The Tim Tebow aka Jesus ALL I DO IS WIN Video



At this point who am I too argue about Tim Tebow. The guy just wins football games. He may throw like a quadripligic but honestly who else would you want with the ball in their hands with less than 2 minutes to go? Besides Aaron Rodgers. And Tom Brady. Ok and besides Drew Brees. Yep. Jesus is who you would want totting the pigskin.

Marshall's Aaron Dobson with "The Catch"



They don't get any better than what Marshall WR Aaron Dobson did with his TD catch against ECU. Complete Spiderman move. Amazing.

Philanthropy with Vinnie Verno: Week 13 Picks



Arkansas +13 over LSU
Bama -21 over Auburn
Miss St -17 over Ole Miss
Michigan -7.5 over Ohio State
A&M -8 over Texas

Vinnie is taking HOKEAMANIA over the Buckeyes? Wow I'm not sure if I have the balls to make that pick. I think Bill Clinton was still in office the last time the Wolverines beat the Buckeyes. Actually the only game I like to play here is the Bama -21 over Auburn. Auburn has looked horrible for over a month. Bama wants to send a message that they deserve to be in the BCS National Title game even without winning the SEC. They will crush Auburn this week. I'm thinking by a score of 35-7 or 42-7. They will cover the 21 though.

Urban Meyer to Ohio State a Done Deal


It's being reported that Urban Meyer has agreed to be the next head coach for the Ohio State Buckeyes. It will be made official next Monday, two days after Ohio State finishes the regular season with rival Michigan.

Ohio State will probably take their probation by agreeing not to go to a bowl game this season. Meyer will come in and start recruiting immediately and has already come to agreement with some assistant coaches to join him in Columbus. Rumor is that current head coach Luke Fickell will be made defensive coordinator under Meyer. Next Tuesday the Buckeyes will introduce Urban to the students at halftime of the Buckeyes-Duke basketball game.

I'm still hearing 5-year deal for $30-35 million. Most of us knew this was bound to happen when Jim Tressel was forced to leave but still the Buckeyes got the perfect coach in Urban Meyer especially considering the uneasy task of skirting NCAA sanctions.

Now the question is what kind of shirt can we make for the new "Urban Legend" in Columbus?

Stanford's Nike Pro Combat Uniforms vs Notre Dame



Ever since I can remember Stanford has always worn cardinal red and white. This week however they will be sporting the new Nike Pro Combat Uniforms with red and black. It basically looks like a steady mixture of Ohio State's and Georgia's Power Rangers uniform they wore vs Boise State concocted by the brass of Nike. For one game I have no problem with it and I'm sure Andrew Luck and his teammates will have fun with them. The uniforms are kind of boring looking but the helmet I think is very cool. If anything maybe the black helmets will make Stanford look faster when Michael Floyd is running past them.

Lee Corso with the "Ah, Fuck It!"



Oklahoma State loses to Iowa.
Oregon loses to USC.
Oklahoma loses to Baylor.
And Clemson gets killed by NC State.

What does it leave us with? 3 SEC West teams at the top of the BCS Rankings. In other words the rest of the nation besides SEC territory should just say "AH, FUCK IT!" when it comes to competing for National Titles.

RIP LARRY MUNSON



Talk about a voice that will live for an eternity even though the man, the legend, Larry Munson passed away today. Munson was one of the greatest sports announcers of any time. His voice resonates college football. It will be missed. RIP Larry Munson. Somewhere in heaven you are hunkering down with the many UGAs.

The Tim Tebow Jesus 15 The Mile High Messiah Shirt



After last night's performance we figured Jesus...I mean Tim Tebow...deserved his own shirt. Well here it is for only $17. And don't worry this shirt is guaranteed to get you into heaven so you might as well buy dozens and dozens for all your family and friends. After all it's the Christian thing to do.

Urban Meyer To Ohio State Is Getting Close


Ever since Jim Tressel was forced out of Columbus Buckeye Nation has salivated over the thought of native son Urban Meyer coming back to the scarlet and gray and taking over a program that was one of his dream jobs. It appears both the Buckeye Nation and Urban will be making the dream a reality very soon.

Rumors are floating around that Ohio State has offered Urban a seven year deal for $35 million to return to the sidelines after a one year hiatus. Urban has the coaching bug and despite taking a year off to be with his family after riding an emotional and physical roller coaster down in Gainesville he appears by all accounts ready to jump back into head coaching 24/7.

This shouldn't come as a big shock. The Urban to Ohio State rumors were strong even when Jim Tressel was winning Big Ten championships in his sweatervest. What is kind of confusing is Urban going into a situation where the Buckeyes might be on sanctions due to the entire tattoo fiasco which has not been settled by the NCAA. It cost Tressel his job and made Terrelle Pryor leave early for the NFL and as far as we know the Committee on Infractions has not ruled on Ohio State yet. Yes the Buckeyes have suspended players and taken away some scholarships but the NCAA has still not ruled if that will be enough in their eyes.

My opinion is the Buckeyes will get a one year postseason ban. They should take it this year. Don't delay it because this season is honestly a wash. Urban Meyer will be announced as the next head coach within the next couple of weeks. Again this is just my opinion and I do not have any inside sources. I also think Meyer will do extremely well in Columbus. He can recruit with the best of them and he should be able to get the top kids from the Midwest while also going to the South and California to recruit. With Braxton Miller at QB he should fit in perfectly in Urban's spread attack.

Do I think Urban will win right away? Yes.

Do I think Urban will get them to a National Championship right away? No.

But the Buckeyes will be back in the top 5 programs with Urban on the sidelines. There is no Urban myth to it. It's the truth.

Philanthropy with Vinnie Verno: Week 12 Picks



Tulsa -13.5
Troy -10.5
Wisconsin -14
Clemson -7.5
Vanderbilt -1

I like all 5 of Vinnie picks. All of those picks are for teams that are playing godawful teams. It's basically betting on the less shitty team which in Vegas should win you money. Granted they got to cover but we aren't talking huge spreads here. For the first time all season I'm taking every single one of the somber Vinnie picks.

5-0....5-0....5-0....5-0.

South Park Annihilated Penn State Last Night











"Penn State likes being down at halftime because they like to feel a little behind in the locker room."

"Now listen, you're going to be put into a foster home so I need to know, would you like to go to Neverland Ranch, the Catholic church, or Penn State University?"

"Now listen, you can't just turn all your frustrations on a little kid who can't defend himself! What do you think this is, the shower room at Penn State?"

"Here's a joke. Joe Paterno doesn't walk in to a police station."

"We’ve embarrassed the system and made it something nobody wants to be a part of! It’s like a Penn State homecoming party!"

Baltimore Orioles Bring Back the Cartoon Bird



No complaints here. I've always enjoyed the cartoon bird on the hats from the late 60's to late 80's and I'm glad they are bringing it back. Now if only they could bring back the feeling of 3 World Series Championships to Baltimore then I will really get excited. But overall a great look for the team. Hopefully the next press release coming from the Warehouse is Peter Angelos selling the team to somebody who actually cares about building a winner.

Arkansas Razorbacks Joe Adams With The Best Punt Return of the Season



I saw at least 7 missed tackles. Holy Hogs indeed. I'm always torn on these kind of plays. Yes it was a great return by Joe Adams. No doubt about that. But what the hell was up with the tackling? We aren't talking about Devin Hester returning here. It's some college kid named Adams. It's gotta be these new uniforms that have Crisco baked into them. I can smell the bacon from here.

Fun fact: Tennessee is now 0-6 in SEC play with their closest defeat of 8 points to Georgia way back in early October. They have Vandy at home this week and are the underdogs. UNDERDOGS to fucking Vandy at home! Hilarious.

It's actually humorous to see how bad Tennessee and Florida are coached these days. They use to have great coaching with incredible talent. Now with the likes of Dooley, Muschamp, and Weis running the shows they are a complete disaster. There is no good reason for both of those programs to be this bad. Their offenses are horrifying to say the least. Both need coaching changes. I've heard JoePa is available.

Saturday Night Live Makes Fun of Penn State and Joe Paterno



Not too shabby SNL. Maybe now I can stop getting comments from the peanut gallery about our JoePa Creepy Valley shirt.

My Notre Dame Treasure Chest Must Have Gotten Lost



Ok I've taken a couple of deep shallow breaths so I don't hyperventilate over here. Adidas and Notre Dame made a limited edition of 11 Notre Dame treasure chests that include the Notre Dame helmet, jersey, and gloves they will be wearing this week vs. Maryland in the Shamrock Series and somehow I didn't receive mine in the mail. It must have been a honest mistake. Because I know Adidas wouldn't screw up with SportsCrack and the world's biggest Notre Dame fan over here by not including one of those awesome chests that also include a gold plated Ipod with headphones and actual gold dust from the Dome and mistakenly send it to Paul Lukas and Darren Rovell and not me. It's okay. I forgive you as long as I get mine before Christmas. Lukas and Rovell don't even like Notre Dame. Sure they may have more followers and thus you might get more exposure but they are not nearly as good looking as me and you know the true Notre Dame fans who will eat that shit up come to SportsCrack. I'm not mad though because I know mine is coming. Don't make me go to the dark side and start sporting Penn State Nike jerseys over here. You got my address. I still endorse K Swiss shoes to everybody and I got those like two years ago. Nobody even knew what K Swiss was before I started pimping them out. The rule of thumb is if you want to make it big you got to come to SportsCrack. Now make it happen. Plus I've been to Germany like 4 times. I practically carried your country's GDP on my back with all the beer and sausages I ate.

Love,

Fairchild
