Off The Market

A few off the field incidents were news worthy in the last few days.
First, Ole Miss should be ready to return to glory again in the year 2032 team. The former Rebel and current New York Football Giants signal caller should got down on one knee this week and asked longtime girlfriend Abby McGrew for her hand in marriage. Sorry ladies but that means Eli is Off The Board and no longer available. What are they going to do this weekend to celebrate? I imagine they'll stay in town and head to 30 Rockefeller plaza to see Eli's big brother Peyton guest star on this week's edition of Saturday Night Live!I've put the over under on jokes that make fun of Eli at 13 and I'm taking the over since the show's filmed in New York.

A couple of coaches also put themselves off the market. First Tubby Smith resigned his position in Kentucky and moved up to the less pressure filled world as the head coach of the Minnesota Golden Gophers. What will be interesting to see is who Kentucky raids for their next head coach and what that does around the country. I just hope their next head coach also goes by a nickname he got for what he slept in as a child. The SEC's going to miss the ole bathtub.

The other coach was caught sleeping at the wheel. Tony LaRussa was found asleep at a stop light with his foot on the brake in Jupiter Florida this week and charged with Driving Under The Influence after he registered with alcohol in his blood stream. The best thing about this is that LaRussa is notoriously hypocritical about other coaches who have had alcohol problems in the past. Looks like he'll have to eat a little crow for that one.
