April 28th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Doc Hollywood

Apparently (system) QB Graham Harrell wasn’t drafted on Draft Day. Dude led the nation with 5,111 yards and was second with 45 TDs. He finished his career with 15,599 yards and 134 TDs.

Hornets Stung

April 28th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Ground Possum

I believe they are calling yesterday’s Nuggets-Hornets game “Katrina II.”  Local merchants and fans will need federal relief to recover from that debacle.  People who were at the game are being housed in the Superdome.   121-63? 121-63??  Sweet Mary, that is embarrassing.  And in your own [...]

TDGP Poll Result: Who would win in a fight to the death?

April 21st, 2009 · No Comments · Doc Hollywood

Who would win in a fight to the death? Lolo Jones (175cm, 49kg), American track + field star, or Yelena Isinbayeva (175 cm, 65 kg), Russian pole vaulter/world record smasher?
