Apparently, nothing that firing Charlie Weis won’t cure.
He was 6-22 overall, and 1-18 in conference. I’m pretty sure this is the first major school coach firing of the year. (Corrections welcome if I’m wrong.)

Monday, September 29th, 2014Your loser update: week 4, 2014.
Monday, September 29th, 2014So much for it being Tampa Bay’s year. But that sounds like it was a wild game. (I missed it, being out and about and all that.)
Elsewhere in the world, Gregg Easterbrook is chomping at the bit.
NFL teams that still have a chance to go 0-16:
Jacksonville
Oakland
Well. Well well well. Well.
Wednesday, September 24th, 2014Original hattip on this to Jason Snell at Six Colors.
This is getting a great deal of attention, but there’s one aspect I want to point out: the ESPN Ombudsman’s page has disappeared from the site. Attempts to access it, either from the “ESPN Ombudsman” link (under “ESPN Feedback”, bottom left corner of the ESPN homepage) or direct links to columns (such as the one linked by Romenesko today) redirect to a generic “ESPN Blogs” page.
I’m not sure if this should be ascribed to malice or stupidity, but it is an interesting coincidence.
Edited to add, 9/24/2014 9:17 PM: Probably stupidity, since the Ombudsman’s page is back now. In that vein, this makes for interesting reading.
TMQ Watch: September 23, 2014.
Wednesday, September 24th, 2014Your loser update: week 3, 2014.
Monday, September 22nd, 2014Running just a little behind: spent pretty much the entire day yesterday having fun with friends. Which I needed, but which was also not conducive to blogging.
Anyway, NFL teams that still have a chance to go 0-16:
Jacksonville
Oakland
Tampa Bay
So the two teams I picked are still in the 0-16 hunt. And I’m starting to think that this could be Tampa Bay’s year, again.

Your loser update: week 1, 2014.
Tuesday, September 9th, 2014Like Ebola or toenail fungus, we have returned for another year of the loser update.
Are there any teams that we think have a chance of going 0-16 this year? We haven’t given this a lot of thought, but off the top of our heads, maybe Oakland or Jacksonville?
In the meantime, NFL teams that actually still have a chance to go 0-16:
New England
Cleveland
Baltimore
Indianapolis
Jacksonville
San Diego
Oakland
Kansas City
New York Football Giants
Washington
Dallas
Chicago

TMQ Watch: September 2, 2014.
Friday, September 5th, 2014Yes, we know. We’re still a little behind. Our schedule was thrown off yesterday because we actually went “golfing”. (Technically, we went to a driving range. Yes, we know that seems odd; it was a corporate outing, and we were in it more to be social than to hit balls.)
Anyway, haiku after the jump….
How ’bout those Astros?
Monday, September 1st, 2014They’ve actually been doing better this year; the various sites I use have been projecting around 92 losses this season.
Better, but not better enough.
TMQ Watch: August 26, 2014.
Thursday, August 28th, 2014Cowboys! Indians! Notre Dame! Da Bears! All in this week’s TMQ, after the jump…
TMQ Watch: August 19, 2014.
Thursday, August 21st, 2014TMQ Watch: August 12, 2014.
Thursday, August 14th, 2014And so is TMQ. And so is TMQ Watch. The first column of the NFL season is always kind of strange; there’s a lot of short items, basketball coverage, and other things that throw us for a loop. We’re probably not going to hit every one of TMQ’s throwaway quips. And yes, we’re aware that TMQ did a couple of draft columns; we looked at those and frankly didn’t find anything noteworthy in them. One was his usual silly mock draft, the other was his draft analysis, and both contained the recommended US daily allowance of TMQ tropes.
Anyway, back to this week’s TMQ, after the jump…
TMQ Watch watch.
Wednesday, August 13th, 2014Good news: football is back.
News: Tuesday Morning Quarterback is also back.
More news: TMQ Watch will return. We are not sure when, as we are still busy with other things (including wrapping up DEFCON coverage) but we will try to get to this week’s TMQ as soon as we can.
