Former Notre Dame All-American, Tommy Zbikowski -- and now starting safety for the 3-1 Baltimore Ravens -- was fined $5,000 for "unnecessary roughness" on a Cleveland Browns running back. Zibby threw Peyton Mills to the ground -- garnering a 15-yard penalty and a few days later -- the NFL FINE!  Here's a link to the story:

Think Coach Kelly Expected This?

Have we become to "PC" (Politically Correct) in this country?  I've found two articles this morning complaining about Coach Kelly's "methods" on the Notre Dame sideline.  Folks, ESPN on ABC chose to make this a story Saturday night when they continually put a camera on Coach Kelly when his players came to the sideline.   And, they "conveniently" chose to only show the times he was displeased with one of his players.


THIS IS BIG TIME COLLEGE FOOTBALL -- NOT KINDERGARTEN RECESS!  Why am I'm fully expecting the ACLU or Gloria Allred to be next?

Here's a story written by a guy named Mike Hutton from the Post-Tribune -- which I understand is a Northwest Indiana newspaper.  Maybe I'm too old-school -- you decide:

OK Go -- To Perform at Notre Dame Saturday

Some may remember the OK Go music video from this past year that included members of the Band of the Fighting Irish -- performing this pop rock band's hit song "This Too Shall Pass."  Well, OK Go is back this Saturday at Notre Dame -- first they'll play at halftime of the Pitt game with the Band of the Fighting Irish and then after the game they'll play a concert at Legends (the on campus bar) for the Notre Dame students. Here's a link to the OK Go music video that "starred" the Band of the Fighting Irish:
