STILL THE BEST: ROGER FEDERER

Congratulations go out to the always classy Roger Federer for winning his 5th straight US Open title and 13th overall Grand Slam(1 behind Pete Sampras). Federer was at the top of his game today as he throttled Andy Murray in less than 2 hours to show he still is the best in tennis. We will have to wait till January to see if Roger can win his 14th Grand Slam down under. Personally I can't wait because players like Federer and Rafael Nadal are making the sport of tennis interesting again for outsiders like myself who can't appreciate all the nooks and crannies of the country club sport.

SPORTSCRACK TOP 10 CFB POLL

We got two weeks under our belts now of college football ecstasy. Some of us(USC and Georgia fans) are giddy about our team's chances while some of us including myself think this may be a long season. I've managed to catch at some point at least a half of play from all of these teams in my top 10 so I feel about as confident as a 10 inch softie that this top 10 is as good as they come.

1. Georgia Bulldogs-The Bulldogs have been the most impressive team to watch this year from top to bottom. Matthew Stafford is coming into his own and has complete control of a very talented squad. Special K has looked as good as advertised with 6 TD's already and Caleb King and Richard Samuel are two backs that most teams would die for and yet they are backups. Both set of lines are setting the tempo despite key losses to personnel and Mark Richt has the team focused on the prize which is a SEC Title then a BCS Championship berth. They shouldn't have any reason to overlook South Carolina this week after the Gamecocks beat them last year in Athens.

2. USC Trojans-I managed to see about 3 quarters of the Virginia dismantling to already instill in my mind that this team is loaded. Mark Sanchez wasn't touched and thus had a great game and the defense looked really fast while Pete Carroll smiled with his "eat shit" grin. Two weeks ago I thought the Buckeyes could beat USC but now I think they will have a hard time especially if Beanie isn't playing.

3. Missouri Tigers-Their offense is already clicking on all cylinders with Chase Daniel doing his best Drew Brees impersonation by methodically picking apart defenses. People seem to discredit the Tigers because of their history but if you watch this team they really are a great team. They are still my pick to win the Big 12.

4. Oklahoma Sooners-Stoops team has absolutely dismantled their first two opponents with an offense led by QB Sam Bradford and RB DeMarco Murray. They should have little trouble going against Washington this week as they look to further extend the knife into Willingham's fading credibility.

5. Florida Gators-The Gators were not on top of their game Saturday night against the Hurricanes but still won by more than 3 TD's. I know Tim Tebow is Superman and all but they need to figure out a way to run the ball with either Chris Rainey(way overrated in my opinion) and Emmanuel Moody to take off some of the pressure on Tebow. They have a week off to prepare for Tennessee and get their running game in order.

6. LSU Tigers-What in the hell do they put in the water down there in Louisiana? Obviously not very good levees. The Tigers again looked ready to contend for another BCS Title(remember they have two while USC only has one) with a defense as good as anybody and a running game led by Charles Scott who has breakout star written all over him in their season opener last week against App State. They should crush North Texas this week.

7. Texas Longhorns-This Longhorn team has fooled me before with inconsistent play but so far they look the part of serious contender. Colt McCoy has been phenomenal in the first two games while accounting for 8 TD's. I have little doubt this team will be undefeated going into the Red River Shootout with a chance to make a claim for a top 3 spot.

8. California Golden Bears-I knew Cal would be good this year but I just didn't think they would be this damn good. RB Jahvid Best is one of those names you might not know yet but once you see him play he is hard to forget. The kid can flat out burn people. Right now Cal looks by far to be the second best team in the conference behind USC and could have a legit shot to make a BCS game for the first time.

9. Penn State Nittany Lions-I will be the first to admit that I thought this team would be garbage this year. They are far from it. JoePa has managed to keep the players focused on the task at hand even when some of them are in handcuffs. Remarkable in my book. Don't laugh but State Penn could win the Big Ten this year especially if Beanie can't return for the Buckeyes.

10. East Carolina Pirates-The only team in the country to have beaten two ranked opponents so far, is Coach Skip Holtz the early favorite for coach of the year or what? They crushed West Virginia behind a swarming defense and look to be the best non-BCS conference team to have a shot at reaching a BCS game. It's just a matter of time before people start talking about Holtz going back to alma mater.

So if you look real close you can see I don't have Ohio State in my top 10. They struggled to beat Ohio at the Horseshoe and just don't look like they have the eye of the tiger yet. Maybe that will change this week in the Coliseum. If not they will get embarrassed again on National television.

If you have any thoughts about your team or opinions on the poll please feel free to post them below.

LENDING A HELPING HAND AT THE TEXAS-UTEP GAME

If you didn't manage to catch the Texas Longhorns game against the Miners of UTEP on ESPN2 last night well then you missed this great hands on job by some dude's girlfriend while watching the game from atop some rock near the stadium. The funniest thing is it looks like Bob Davie circled the act as it took place.

KNOWSHON MORENO HURDLES INTO HEISMAN LEAD

168 yards rushing with 3 TD's and one hurdle as pictured above over Central Michigan today puts Knowshon as the frontrunner for the Heisman in my opinion. If you disagree fine, but then watch the video clip and tell me this kid is not amazing.

How do you spell Heisman again?

NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL

Absolutely fucking terrible. The talent is there but the focus needs to start from the first snap. Thank you Golden Tate for playing great from start to finish. And thank you Sergio Brown and Kyle McCarthy for playing incredible defense. Now excuse me while I go try to recover from this heart attack.

LOCK OF THE WEEK

Notre Dame will destroy San Diego State on both sides of the ball and easily cover the -21 1/2 point spread at home. RB's Robert Hughes(pictured above) and Armando Allen will both have big games rushing the ball against a weak Aztec's defense and look out for freshman TE Kyle Rudolph, he is my pick for the first touchdown of the season for the Irish.

BRANDON JACOBS RUNS OVER LARON LANDRY

I'm not going to lie, I could really give two shits about the NFL this year. The two teams I root for suck balls with the Atlanta Falcons and Baltimore Ravens both starting rookie quarterbacks in week 1. Ryan will be a joke and Flacco will need time to develop and shouldn't be getting thrown in the fire way this early. I heard there was a NFL game last night between the New York Giants and Washington Redskins. I also heard the game was pretty much garbage except for a Justin Tuck sack and this great run by Jacobs. Landry may be a Redskin but I believe Jacobs scalped his ass.

1st Team CFB All-American Teams Preseason

A week late and a dollar short, here is your preseason 1st team All-American Team.
QUARTERBACK
Tim Tebow, Florida-The reigning Heisman Trophy winner, Tebow does it all whether he is passing, running, or doing circumsicions in 3rd World countries.

RUNNINGBACK
Beanie Wells, Ohio State-The best runningback in the game, Beanie was the lone bright performance in the BCS Title game last year for the Buckeyes. If he can stay healthy he should put up 2000 yards rushing especially since the Big Ten will be pathetic this year.

Knowshon Moreno, Georgia-Special K was the difference maker last year for the Dawgs as he put the offense on his back and carried them to a #2 ranking when all was said and done. His spin moves are electric and his enthusiasm on the field can ignite a crowd.

FULLBACK
Jorvorskie Lane, Texas A&M-I want Lane to have the ball in goal line situations. He is just so big and powerful it is almost unfair seeing defenses try to tackle him up high.

WIDE RECEIVER
Michael Crabtree, Texas Tech-Set almost every conceivable record last year as a redshirt freshman for the Red Raiders. He is back and should put up excellent numbers with QB Graham Harrell looking his way.
Jeremy Maclin, Missouri-Every time I see Maclin touch the ball I expect him to score. He is that good! I expect Maclin to be considered a serious Heisman contender at the end of the season as he carries Missouri to a Big 12 Championship.
Percy Harvin, Florida-Unbelievable player when he is healthy, Harvin is the difference between the Gators being a serious contender for the SEC Title and not.

TIGHT END
Travis Beckum, Wisconsin-The Badgers may be boring to watch but Beckum is not. He will likely win the Mackey Award for top tight end if the Badgers can reach a BCS game.

CENTER
Jonathan Luigs, Arkansas-The returning Remington Award winner for best center in the college game, Luigs is a first round talent who helped open holes for D-Mac and Felix Jones.
GUARD
Duke Robinson, Oklahoma-He is big and blocks well.
Anthony Parker, Tennessee-He is enormous and blocks with a vengeance.
TACKLE
Andre Smith, Alabama-The best offensive lineman in the game. Period.
Mike Oher, Ole Miss-He is huge and not stupid and blocks extremely well.




DEFENSIVE ENDS
George Selvie, South Florida-Led the nation is tackles for loss last year.

Maurice Evans, Penn State-I got a million dollars that says he gets suspended for drugs.

DEFENSIVE TACKLES
Fili Moala, USC-Great name for a gay porn star.
Terrill Byrd, Cincinnati-Who knew that the Bearcats could produce such good defensive players?

OUTSIDE LINEBACKERS
Brian Cushing, USC-Steroids have done a body good.
Brian Toal, Boston College-Coming back from a serious injury, I will more than likely regret putting him this high on the list especially over Jasper Brinkley.

James Laurinaitis, Ohio State-I've heard he is pretty good for a two time All-American.
Rey Maualuga, USC-He wears women panties and is more than likely overrated but the kid loves to hit people hard.

CORNERBACKS
Vontae Davis, Illinois-Best cornerback in the game.
Malcolm Jenkins, Ohio State-Second best cornerback in the game.

STRONG SAFETY
Michael Hamlin, Clemson-Great player but not good enough to beat Alabama all by himself.

FREE SAFETY
Taylor Mays, USC-You know I hate the Trojans but I really like Taylor Mays. He plays the game the right way and stays out of trouble.

MCCAIN'S BRAIN

Everybody is wondering why John McCain would pick Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his VP. It is true she has a boatload of controversy surrounding her in regards to abortion and teenage pregnancy but we finally get the answer directly from the source: McCain's Brain...

OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST SHAWN JOHNSON HAS A POPPIN TACO

The endless amount of jokes are too easy to even write down from this taco commercial.

What's next for these three? Beef Jerky commercials.

"My taco is the best!" she says. I will be the judge of that. Shawn Johnson's taco looks a little beefy if you ask me. I'm sure it pops though.

I'm going to go now before I get in any more trouble.

COLLEGE POON IS BACK

Thank you Mac G for bringing back the Poon. A man can only take Poon withdrawal for so long before he goes insane.

"Hi, I'm Whitney!"

"And I'm Meredith! And we are ready to party at the first UT football game!"

Me: "Here you go ladies, drink it up, you won't feel a thing!"

God I miss college sometimes.

FERNANDO PEREZ WILL NOT TAKE YOUR TAG

Just some good old fashioned Durham Bulls action right there. Crash Davis would have tagged him, tagged the old lady named Sarandon, and then had beers with him afterwards.

Now the real trick is to avoid STD's while banging minor league roadies. Good luck with that Fernando!

UCLA DREAM TEAM: YES THEY ARE!

For all intended purposes Tennessee should have kicked the shit out of UCLA tonight but they didn't. Feather hair is bringing back UCLA football. Dead hookers and probation to come next.

VP NOMINEE/MILF SARAH PALIN TALKING SPORTS

Nice to see the new Republican Vice President nominee and current Alaska governor Sarah Palin talking about the Iditarod Dog Race and Minnesota North Stars hockey back in 1988 for KTUU-TV in Anchorage. I kind of miss the 80's haircuts. We know Palin used to rock that hairstyle while doing "favors" in the backseat of her boyfriend's Iroc-Z.
