At the start of the season, it seemed fair to wonder whether the back of the Red Sox rotation would struggle. But few would have anticipated the across-the-board difficulties of the starting staff in the season's initial two weeks, something that has played a significant factor in the team's second straight horrible performance to open the year.
The latest sub-standard outing came on Friday against the Yankees, as Clay Buchholz pitched well for much of the day but, by his estimation, made five mistakes, all of them over the middle of the plate, all of them getting punished. The right-hander matched a career-high by allowing five home runs in the game, the key component of a 6-2 loss. More alarming for the Red Sox, it wasn't even his worst outing of the year.
Buchholz gave up seven runs in four innings against the Tigers in his first start of 2012. In his next outing against the Rays, he nearly saw the game get away from him in a four-run first but then recovered to pitch seven innings. Still, he allowed five runs that game. And then, of course, there was Friday, when the Yankees took him deep five times.
In Buchholz's favor, each of the five blasts was of the solo variety, thus limiting the damage to six runs (five earned). Even so, he failed to execute with the consistency needed to shut down his opponent.
"Against a good hitting team like that, that's stuff we can't do," said catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia. "It's like throwing David [Ortiz] a fastball middle-in. It's dangerous. He's still finding it a little bit. His last start he had to work. Today he had to work. It's all falling into place little by little. You just have to be patient. I think he'll be OK."
As Saltalamacchia suggested, Buchholz's struggles on Friday did not occur in isolation. A pitcher who was expected to give the Sox consistent quality starts has done precisely the opposite.
Buchholz has allowed five or more earned runs in all three of his starts this year. He is one of just three pitchers in the majors (joining Tim Lincecum of the Giants and Francisco Liriano of the Twins) to do so, in what represents a dramatic career departure.
In 2010-11, Buchholz made 42 starts and allowed five or more earned runs in four games (9.5 percent). This year, in just three starts, he's nearly matched that number. It marks the first time he's ever allowed five-plus earned runs in three straight starts.
Worse for the Red Sox, Buchholz has not been alone in his struggles. In 13 games, the Sox have gotten just five quality starts to date this season, tied for 22nd in the majors. Jon Lester and Josh Beckett each have delivered two of those with Daniel Bard claiming the only other one; neither Buchholz nor Felix Doubront has given the Sox a single outing that has lived up the standard for a quality start (six or more innings, three or fewer runs).
On the other hand, the Sox are getting terrible starts with greater frequency than any other team in the majors. On six occasions, a Sox starter has allowed five or more runs, tied with the Twins for the most in the majors.
The result? As a group, Sox starters have a 2-7 record and a 6.09 ERA that ranks second-to-last in the majors. For a group that is viewed as having terrific stuff, the outcomes have been both puzzling and costly in the early going.
"It's frustrating, and I know for them it's frustrating too. They're too good not to go out there and dominate. All of them have four plus pitches that can dominate this league," said Saltalamacchia. "These guys are good. There's no doubt about it. You can't judge a guy off a couple of outings."
Pitching coach Bob McClure echoed that sentiment.
"I expect that we'll definitely go on a run of quality starts. I think it will even out," he said. "The sooner the better, but they're all very capable and I think they will."
Indeed, manager Bobby Valentine remains convinced that he has seen the raw ingredients for success, but that the recipe for his starting staff remains just slightly off, even as he acknowledged the role that the starters' struggles has played in the team's overall performance.
"That has something to do with the record too," said Valentine. "But we've been in most games. Our starting pitching has allowed us to be in all but two games of the few that we've played so far. That's all we ask. Just give us a chance.
"It's an amazing, you know, [16]-day sample. You look around baseball, There's a few of those things that are just inexplicable right now. Maybe the long season will have it all even out," he continued. "I think our starting pitching has been good with bad innings. And it's similar to our bullpen. It's been good with bad innings. When you don't have a large number of innings to offset the bad one then the numbers are really inflated, the runs per and the ERA and all those things."
Yet as certain measures of the team's starting performance inflate, the effect has undoubtedly been deflating. A team cannot go through life with a six-plus ERA from its starting staff and hope to excel.
That was a lesson reinforced quite painfully for the Sox last September, when the starters had a collective 7.08 ERA that represented the single biggest factor in the team's 7-20 collapse. So far in 2012, the results have been strikingly similar.
The development was one that the team could ill-afford in 2011 and that it cannot stomach for much more of 2012. Armed with a 4-9 record after four straight home losses, the need for improvement is reaching the critical stage.
"I'm not going to spend the whole season thinking about the talent that we got. We have to start winning games," said David Ortiz. "I know that in everybody's mind it's the beginning of the season, but what is it going to take, until July for us to start winning? We need to step up, do something different and make things happen."

Texas manager Washington must be under fire

The downside of the Rangers streaking in the wrong direction, at least for A's fans who love their old third-base coach, is what it might mean for Ron Washington.
Because of the Rangers' latest September collapse, Washington is on the hot seat. In 2012, they owned the American League's best record with nine games to play and lost seven to blow a five-game lead. Wiped out after getting swept in a season-ending series in Oakland, they were eliminated by the Orioles in a one-game wild-card match.
This one's worse, so far. The Rangers are 3-12 in September. Their best hope is another do-or-die playoff game, and it's doubtful they'd have any momentum if lucky enough to play in October.
Washington, who has survived other hot-seat moments to become the winningest manager in Rangers history and reach two World Series, is signed through 2014. As the saying goes, he doesn't pitch or hit, so he's not at fault for the rotation's 5.72 ERA in September. Or longest home run drought in 23 years - Ian Kinsler's homer Tuesday was the team's first since Sept. 8. Or Adrian Beltre's mild swings or Yu Darvish's mood swings.
Or playing seven straight games through Monday without leading in a single inning, the most inept streak in franchise history.
Rangers CEO Nolan Ryan told Texas radio station KESN-FM on Monday that Washington doesn't deserve to be fired, citing injuries and an influx of young players, and general manager Jon Daniels later said he expects Washington back in 2014.
Washington's lineup is exposed after the Rangers didn't beef up in the offseason despite losing Josh Hamilton and Mike Napoli, who combined for 67 homers. Then they lost Nelson Cruz in August to a season-ending suspension when he was leading the team with 27 homers.
"Yes, I'm concerned about my job," Washington told the radio station Tuesday. "Who wouldn't be? But I hope that I've gained credibility for what all we've accomplished in the past few years."
In the cruel world of placing blame, credibility - like ability or popularity - doesn't guarantee security.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The price tag for the LSU Board of Supervisors' refusal to publicly release its presidential search records has topped $140,000.
A Baton Rouge judge Thursday ordered the university system board to pay thousands of dollars in penalties and lawyers' fees to the two newspapers that sued for the information.
Judge Janice Clark applied the maximum $100 per day civil penalty from the time the public records request was filed until the board turns over all documents under seal. The fine reaches at least $25,000, but could grow higher because Clark is awaiting some records.
"The defendants' failure to respond appropriately was unreasonable, capricious and without cause," Clark said in levying the maximum fine.
In addition, LSU must reimburse The Advocate and The Times-Picayune for attorneys' fees and court costs.
Thursday's decision was estimated to cost LSU about $80,000 — on top of $63,000 in contempt of court fines that Clark earlier ordered against the board for refusing to turn over the records for more than four months after she ruled they should be released.
That tally doesn't include any money the Board of Supervisors is paying for its own contract lawyers in the case.
With Clark making a decision on that remaining piece of the case, LSU can file its full appeal of the judge's rulings. The legal wrangling has dragged on for months.
The two newspapers filed a public records lawsuit earlier this year after LSU refused to provide information about other candidates considered by the board's search committee before King Alexander was hired for the job.
Clark ruled April 30 that the board violated the law. But for more than four months, the LSU board wouldn't turn over the documents, saying it had a right to appeal the decision.
Earlier this month, LSU agreed to give the documents to Clark if they were kept hidden from the public and the newspapers while the board appeals the judge's ruling.
The records — including candidates' names and resumes — were delivered Sept. 17, but attorney Lori Mince, who represents the newspapers, said the documents appeared to be incomplete.
Without providing details, Mince told the judge Thursday that the information filed with the court contained fewer than the 35 candidates that the head of the search committee had said were considered.
LSU lawyer Jimmy Faircloth said the Dallas-based search consultant hired by LSU, William Funk, reported there were fewer than 35 candidates and turned in all the information he had about the contenders for the president's job.
"He said that's all there is," Faircloth said.
Clark said she wants the disparity explained and told Faircloth to get follow-up information from Funk, including a log of all the candidates for the president's job.
SEP 30 Here's another story that makes Louisiana look backward; blogger Manny Schewitz writes about a church that won't allow AA to use its facilities because those boozers might track in some gay. Every time he sees one of these, as he calls them "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" type of stories, he always starts wishing: "Please don't let it be Louisiana... Please don't let it be Louisiana..."
SEP 30 Blogger Bob Mann is asking a question that a lot of intelligent people have been asking for several years now - "How gullible does Bobby Jindal think we are?" In this post, Mann is taking a look at the Jindal administration's "smarmy, shameless reliance on our ignorance."
SEP 30 Ever wonder what goes on in a football locker room following a game like Sunday's embarrassment? Here's a post on ESPN about the "reality check" the Saints had. Among the comments: "Right now we're not a very good football team."
SEP 30 Just for fun, here's the Advocate's "Mike and Me" gallery, featuring submitted photos from readers who have taken pictures with LSU's mascot, Mike the Tiger. When the promotion started, the paper expected pictures with the big cat who lives outside the stadium, and they got those, but they also got pictures with the "human" version, and the big statue of Mike.
SEP 30 Anybody who has attended LSU since the late 1980s is pretty familiar with Highland Coffees. It's a cool little (non-chain) coffee shop near the north gates of the university. The recent announcement that it would be moving because the shop can't "come to terms" with its landlord has caused horror and anguish among LSU students and alums. This post on the Red Shtick pokes fun at the landlord who might have other plans for the spot. (The story includes links to a "real" post on Baton Rouge Business Report).
SEP 30 Bobby Jindal probably has a shiny idea of what his legacy will be, and it's a sure bet it doesn't match up with what columnist Clancy DuBos says in this post on Gambit, to wit: "Jindal will be remembered as the governor who lacked the guts and integrity to do what's right." Man, DuBos, don't hold back -- tell us how you really feel.
SEP 30 It's a good thing we got all that BP money to spend on tourism advertising, because plenty will be required to convince people that we aren't a bunch of gun-toting lunatics down here in the swamp. This post on TIME magazine can't help: it's about a Port Allen restaurateur who offers a discount to anybody with a gun. (Anybody? Hmmm.)
SEP 30 This post on PoliticusUSA, an extremely liberal blog, takes aim at Bobby Jindal's disingenuous attempts to play both sides against the middle on the evolution/creationism issue. Jindal is "dutifully serving his Koch masters" on the climate change issue as well, blogger Rmuse writes.
SEP 29 Here's another national media story on Edwin W. Edwards, this one from National Public Radio - despite the fact that, he says, "people who listen to public radio don't vote for candidates like me." His story, with the young lovely wife, new baby, political backstory and criminal history, seems to be irresistible to the media, especially after they've met him and experienced the full force of the Edwards charm.
SEP 29 Here's more speculation on what's next in the Bruce Greenstein situation from the fourth estate. James Gill calls it "the Greenstein problem." What's the problem? If Greenstein lied about the process of awarding a huge contract to his former employer during an investigation, as is alleged in his indictiment, what's the truth? And who else was involved?
SEP 29 To be fair, this story was posted on Business Insider before Sunday's game (and the wailing and gnashing of teeth that followed it). It's about a study that looked at the communities in which NFL teams are based, and what kind of support those teams have there. No team has stronger community support than the Saints, the study found. (But again, that was before Sunday.)

Check these out, too...
Walk to the walk
First things first: It's time to get comfy takin' your
stellar new shoes for a walk. Put 'em on after school and wear them for an hour
or two at a time. If they're tight, chillin' on the couch to let them stretch a
bit first might help, but do get off your booty and cover some ground. Get used
to walking on tile, hardwood and carpeted floors.
Tip: Slippin' and sliding? Hit the pavement to scuff up
the soles, or put a piece of duck tape on the sole, right beneath the bottom of
your foot, to give ya some traction.
Bust a move
High tail it to your room, crank up the tunes and work on
your best dance moves. Or, pop in a dance-centric video game like last year's
hit Just Dance 2 and groove along as
best you can't. Don't push yourself—turning an ankle will keep ya sidelined all
season. But do get used to moving around in your kicks.
Ready to give your feet a break? Toss your heels to the side
and grab a mat. Crank out a 20-minute yoga workout. It'll help you strengthen
your core and work on your balance—both of which will keep you stable in
stilettos. Bonus? Even after just one yoga session, you'll be standing taller,
making your bod look better than ever.
Squats 'n' lunges
These classic workout moves are perfect for toning your gams
without bulking up too much. Do some squats while watching holiday classics on
the tube, and lunge your way around the house while your favorite Christmas
cookies are in the oven.
Kick up the cardio
Cardio will help you burn calories, letting you munch away
guilt-free on holiday snacks. Better than that, though, is cardio's ability to
build your endurance. Slip on a hoodie and grab a jump rope or your bike, then
get busy for a half hour. You'll feel better, you'll sleep better and you'll be
able to dance the night away without pausing to catch your breath.

The video: Japanese electronics firm Sega is taking videogames to a captive new audience: Bar and restaurant patrons taking care of business at the urinal. Its still-experimental Toirettsu technology measures the accuracy, volume, and force of urine hitting a target inside the urinal. (Watch a clip of the set-up below.) The "pee for points" system so far includes unsophisticated mini-games that let men "hose" off graffiti and spurt milk out of a character's nose. "You're able to game with pee!" Sega explains, none too soberly.
The reaction: "This may seem completely out there," but it does make sense "on a number of levels," says Matthew Humphries in Geek.com. Restaurants and bars have a way to encourage men to keep bathroom floors cleaner, and if the games are any good, they'll sell more drinks. "Do not expect this to make it outside of Japan," but be honest, if you ever run across one, "you are going to use it, aren't you?" It does sound kind of fun, assuming you can "go standing up," says Clay Dillow in Popular Science. "(Sorry ladies.)" But given the inherent controller-hurling frustration in videogames, "it's not difficult to imagine [Toirettsu] making floors dirtier." Here's a glimpse of the system:

Report: Hawks talk to Messina, would be first European born NBA coach
May 17, 2013, 8:44 AM EDT
Two seasons ago Ettore Messina was part of Mike Brown's Los Angeles Lakers staff during the lockout season, but he left this season (good timing) to be the head coach of CSKA Moscow.
Now he could be coming back to the NBA — and sitting in the big chair.
The Hawks are talking to the Italian-born Messina about their head coaching job, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports.
Ettore Messina, the Italian-born coach of CSKA Moscow, is among the top candidates to replace coach Larry Drew. Ferry and Messina have had contact about the possibility, and Messina is intrigued with the chance to be a global trail blazer in the NBA, sources told Y! Sports.
Ferry recently scouted CSKA Moscow in London at the Euroleague Final Four.
First, we have to say that Larry Drew has not yet been fired in Atlanta. Yet the fact that GM Danny Ferry is reaching out to several coaches to gauge interest in the job tells you pretty much all you need to know about his future in the ATL Drew and his assistants are looking for other jobs.
The first person Ferry reached out to about the head coaching job was reportedly Stan Van Gundy. That didn't go so well and isn't going to happen.
Ferry also has interviewed Nate McMillan this week. It is expected he might talk to some of the top assistant coaches out there as well.
Messina has had incredible success in Europe — he has won five Russian and four Italian league titles in his time. His teams have won the EuroLeague (where the best teams from across Europe compete against each other) four times.
Messina has turned down NBA rebuilding projects before. He's considered a hard personality at times and puts the team ahead of the players — fans love that but it doesn't always go as well in the locker room.
But he has a fantastic basketball mind. He would bring a system and style of ball movement and player movement that could be fantastic in the NBA if the players buy in.
I doubt it happens, I bet Messina lands with another top European club. But it would be interesting.

Sudanese goat wife pops her hooves
The caprine wife of a Sudanese goat molester has died suddenly after more than a year of marriage, the BBC reports. Mrs Tombe, née Rose, got hitched in a shotgun wedding ceremony after her future husband was caught indulging in pre-marital sexual relations with the animal. Her owner, Mr Alifi, "described how he heard a noise …
I Suspect Foul Play
It seems obvious to me Mr Tombe wasn't about to pay support for a kid not his own. The situation was probably further aggravated by Rose Tombe's infidelity, but perhaps she mistook Mr. Tombe's offer to wear horns in the bedroom.

WEEK 5: Inside the SEC
by Steve Geller, firstname.lastname@example.com
posted Sep 29 2012 10:32AM
A bulk of the conference gets the week off, while two teams that figure in the SEC East race prepare to square off.
Time to go Inside the SEC...
Towson (2-1) at LSU (4-0)
Who exactly is Towson? Well, they're a member of the Colonial Athletic Association and come into this contest sporting a 2-1 record. TU is currently ranked 12th in this week's Sports Network FCS poll. LSU is 4-0 for the sixth straight season, and are 30-0 in non-conference, regular season games under Coach Les Miles.
Click here for my in depth preview...
Arkansas (1-3) at Texas A&M (2-1)
Some will claim young teams can't win. Texas A&M believes otherwise and backs that up by posting the number two ranked scoring offense and number four ranked scoring defense this season. That's impressive considering this team was asked to replace so much experience, plus change their offensive and defensive schemes.
Arkansas' season has spiraled completely out of control and making a tough road trip against a natural rival is a recipe for more disaster at this point. The last couple of games between these two have been shootouts that the Razorbacks have won, but the odds are match-ups are not in their favor at all this year.
It may be a close game, but the Aggies are in a better place right now and being at home - along with their more consistent play - gives them the advantage.
Missouri (2-2) at UCF (2-1)
Missouri has struggled mightily finishing games this season, and that is a trend that will have to change if they hope to emerge successful from a series of coming SEC games. Mizzou's biggest issue this year has been keeping opposing defenses off of their quarterback. Their offense is all about timing, and consistent pressure has disrupted their effectiveness as well as caused injury to starter James Franklin.
UCF is a quality opponent, but Missouri has faced tougher this year and walked away with the win. Expect a hard fought game similar to last week's with the Tigers coming out on top. Their offense is good enough to win here and being on a long road trip will help prepare them for coming road trips in the conference.
Tennessee (3-1) at Georgia (4-0)
The league's top two offenses will be on display here, and this game carries a ton of weight in the SEC East race. The Vols cannot afford another conference loss if they hope to remain a factor in this thing. Georgia needs a coming out party stronger than what they've had against Missouri or Vanderbilt.
For Tennessee to get this done, stopping the Bulldogs' fierce pass rush will be top priority. The Volunteers have a serviceable running game, but they go as well the arm of QB Tyler Bray... so keeping him upright is the way to victory.
Georgia, on the other hand, has grown to not need QB Aaron Murray to do it all as their' running game has emerged behind freshman phenom Todd Gurley, who leads the league in rushing yards per game and averages over nine yards a carry. That is a huge issue for Tennessee; as they don't do well against the run, giving up nearly five yards a carry.
The Vols will put up a fight, but Georgia's pass rush and running game are enough to propel them to a win and one step closer to establishing a serious claim to the throne in the East.
South Carolina (4-0) at Kentucky (1-3)
South Carolina looks like a team with serious aspirations to return to the top of the SEC East, while Kentucky looks lost. Despite that, the Gamecocks have to show up interested to win this game. Steve Spurrier's squad has answered the bell all season in the face of adversity, and this week should be no different as they notch another win closer to the big goal of making a trip to Atlanta in December.
Meanwhile the Joker Phillips termination countdown continues.
Ole Miss (3-1) at Alabama (4-0)
The Tide has played well in the first four games of the season and has totally dominated in each contest. That's not to say the team still doesn't have work to do, but this is one of two teams in the country firing on all cylinders right now.
Ole Miss leads the league in rushing and that's a major turnaround for a team that could barely get out of the tunnel right last year. However, the Rebels just don't have the depth, strength, or speed to hang with a team like Bama right now. Expect Saban's super human squad to have another opportunity to get the bench plenty of work as they cruise to another victory.

LSU vs Towson Game Day Preview
by Steve Geller, email@example.com
posted Sep 29 2012 10:12AM
LSU plays their final non-conference game of the regular season as they host Towson.
Who exactly is Towson? Well, they're a member of the Colonial Athletic Association and come into this contest sporting a 2-1 record. TU is currently ranked 12th in this week's Sports Network FCS poll.
LSU is 4-0 for the sixth straight season, and are 30-0 in non-conference, regular season games under Coach Les Miles. LSU has also won an NCAA record 40 straight non-conference games during the regular season, a school record 20 straight home games, and 17 consecutive regular season games overall. The Bayou Bengals got a scare last week, as they slipped by Auburn on the road in what was their SEC opener.
Listen to the LSU-Towson Preview:
This game marks the first time LSU will have played Towson, or any member of the CAA for that matter.
Balance has been the key in the early going for the TU offense, as the team averages 196 yards per game rushing and 202 passing. As a result, they score nearly 30 points per game, and have done the bulk of that scoring early. Towson has put up 60 points in the first half of games compared to just 27 after the half.
Most of the offensive production comes from two players. QB Grant Enders is completing 75 percent of his passes with four TDs and three INTs, while RB Terrance West has racked up 251 yards rushing and has found the end zone five times. The team has two receivers with double-digit catches, as Erron Banks and Spencer Wilkins have combined for 23 grabs, 280 yards and a TD.
The Towson defense is led by safety Jordan Dangerfield and his 20 tackles. This unit has collected 15 tackles for loss and nine sacks, but has managed only one turnover.
LSU is generating 442 yards per game on offense, using a potent rushing attack to do the bulk of its damage and uses the aerial attack to add support. Jarvis Landry leads the Tiger receiving corps with 17 grabs for 160 yards, but his one TD pales in comparison to the three turned in by Kadron Boone, who only has seven total catches on the year.
The Bayou Bengals defense is ranked in the top 10 nationally in several statistical categories, including 3rd in run defense, 4th in total defense, 8th against the pass, and 8th in scoring defense. The team boasts nine players with double-digit tackles thus far, including Kevin Minter who leads the way with 25. Micah Eugene has three of the D's eight sacks, and both Jalen Mills and Ronald Martin have a pair of interceptions.
Coach Miles knows there is little margin for error when it comes to winning in the SEC, and while this week's opponent shouldn't pose much of a threat, playing fundamentally sound football is always the goal as the Tigers prepare for powerhouses in Florida, South Carolina and Alabama.
Towson doesn't stand a chance in Death Valley against an LSU squad that has something to prove after dropping a spot in this week's AP poll - despite maintaining its unblemished record.

Fantasy Football Week 4: Sit 'Em, Start 'Em
by Steve Geller, email@example.com
posted Sep 28 2012 9:05AM
If you beat your buddy last week because Golden Tate was gifted that touchdown in the Seahawks win over the Packers, you totally owe your bro a brewskie.
Besides lousy officiating, I've noticed a lot of names scoring TDs that aren't helping us fantasy owners. One example was Saints fullback Jed Collins stealing an end zone dance from someone actually on a fantasy roster. Paging Marcus Colston, where are you Colston?
Anyway, here are my recommendations for week 4...
Jay Cutler QB, Chicago Bears
After a solid Week 1 performance, Cutler has been going downhill. Well, don't expect Mr. Pouty Face to turn it around against a very solid Dallas defense.
Statistically speaking, the Cowboys have the best defense in the NFL, and their pass defense ranks second in the league.
This is not the same Dallas secondary from 2011, and Cutler's top target Brandon Marshall will be blanketed. Throw in the fact that Cutler is prone to throwing an interception or two, and I see him as a MUST SIT.
Kevin Smith RB, Detroit Lions
Smith started the season well and then saw his job go up in smoke last week. Mikel Leshoure returned to action and Smith was relegated to third back duties, meaning he didn't get a single touch. Former Saint Joique Bell was Leshoure's back-up, and this puts Smith on the backburner.
Honestly I put him as a sit until further notice. Leshoure and Bell will split time again this week, and we will see little or nothing at all out of Smith unless there is an injury.
Philadelphia Eagles Defense
After scoring solid fantasy points in Week 1, the Eagles have combined to post next to nadda over the last two games. Now they have a date with the Giants, who haven't been a defensive whipping boy. In fact, defenses have scored the sixth-fewest fantasy points against Eli Manning's crew.
Cedric Benson RB, Green Bay Packers
Benson has gotten over 15 touches and scored in double digits in the past two games. This week, he faces the league's worst run defense in our very own Saints. The Black and Blue...ugh, I mean Gold... currently rank 32nd in run defense by allowing 215 yards per game. We witnessed a less than 100% Jamaal Charles explode for 233 yards against the Fleur Di Lis D, and while you shouldn't expect Benson to get that many, you can expect him to have a great game against the league's worst run defense.
Denarius Moore WR, Oakland Raiders
Moore came on strong near the end of the 2011 NFL season as he built a good relationship with QB Carson Palmer. The Raiders offense is definitely lacking in play makers, so the fact that he has become Carson's favorite, makes Moore worthy of looking into for a start this week against Denver.
I know the Raiders will be in a tough position versus the Broncos, but they will likely be playing from behind and needing to pass often. I think Moore ends up posting his best numbers of the season.
Seattle Seahawks defense
The Seahawks defense is legit folks. Forget the blown call to end the game against the Packers. They held Green Bay to just 12 points and sacked Aaron Rodgers eight times.
The Pack only managed 268 total yards despite possessing the ball for over 33 minutes, and this is an offense that's supposed to be one of the NFL's most explosive.
This week Seattle faces the Rams, who are coming off a six-point, 160 total-yard performance against Da Bears. St. Louis still lacks consistent pass protection and doesn't present much outside of running back Steven Jackson.
Pick up & play of the week
Kevin Kolb QB, Arizona Cardinals
Kevin Kolb has almost certainly cemented his role as the Cardinals starter after leading his team to victory against the Eagles on Sunday. Since relieving the injured John Skelton in Week 1, Kolb has posted one rushing and four passing touchdowns - with zero interceptions - en route to consecutive wins against three favored opponents. He faces the Miami Dolphins on Sunday and will have a great shot at keeping the win streak alive.

Brees: Replacement refs ''horrendous''
by Steve Geller, email@example.com
posted Sep 25 2012 7:16AM
All the buzz today surrounding the NFL is for once NOT about the Saints. But quarterback Drew Brees' comments just hours before the Monday Night Football game that everyone is talking about, could have not been more accurate.
"You know, they're just not prepared to be in this situation," Brees said about the replacement officials. "The game is so fast, and the level that all of them were at and now are at - it just doesn't even compare. You know I think its getting to a point where its pretty horrendous and its an embarrassment to the league and the way its being conducted."
Click here to listen to Brees on ESPN radio's Scott Van Pelt Show...
The Seahawks were awarded a game winning touchdown on a ball heaved up by rookie Ruseell Wilson that Packers safety M.D. Jennings clearly picked off. Somehow the replacement refs ruled that Seattle receiver Golden Tate, who caught Jennings, made the game winning reception.
Brees tweeted this after the game; "I love this league and love the game of football, but tonight's debacle hurts me greatly. This is NOT the league we're supposed to represent."
Will this debacle help speed the process up between the NFL and the locked out refs? Let's hope so, because the Saints sure don't need any more help in losing football games.

Week 4: Inside the SEC
by Steve Geller, firstname.lastname@example.com
posted Sep 22 2012 7:28AM
The conferences season hasn't kicked into full gear just yet, but Week 4 brings us several key matchups that will shape the rest of the year.
Time to go Inside the SEC…
LSU at AUBURN
LSU is 3-0 on the year, but they're virtually untested as they've outscored their opponents 145-31. Auburn is sitting at 1-2 on the season and has already lost a conference game to Mississippi State. They have really struggled as the offense has a long way to go, and the defense needs much better tackling.
Click here for a complete breakdown of this game...
MISSISSIPPI at TULANE
Ole Miss appears to have an effective offense, but absolutely no defense. Sadly, Tulane has neither. Advantage: Rebels.
KENTUCKY at FLORIDA
Kentucky has lost 25 straight overall to Florida, and 16 straight in Gainesville. The Gators have the third best rushing attack in the conference, and its defense is stingy against the run. This is what is known as a mismatch folks. If Kentucky doesn't find a way to at least make the final score respectable, expect coach Joker Phillips to wake up to a collection of "for sale" signs dumped in his yard on Sunday.
MISSOURI at SOUTH CAROLINA
This is my game of the week in the SEC, as it will tell exactly how good Missouri is or isn't. South Carolina can't keep its starting quarterback healthy and will be without safety D.J. Swearinger after a questionable suspension for what league officials deemed a cheap hit on a UAB player last week. Missouri knocked off a much-improved Arizona State team, but this is a conference game on the road and will be a totally different animal than what they have experienced up to this point. South Carolina's defense hasn't lived up to billing, especially against the pass, and Missouri can hurt the Gamecocks through the air. But can Missouri's small defense stop Marcus Lattimore? Probably not.
FLORIDA ATLANTIC at ALABAMA
For Alabama to lose this game, the Tide would have to forget when kickoff time was and show up two hours late. Bama's greatest challenge here is maintaining focus and seeing if they can pitch their 3rd straight shutout.
RUTGERS at ARKANSAS
Prior to the season, this game looked like just another stepping stone for the Razorbacks on their way to challenging for a BCS bowl slot. Now, it becomes a must-win game against an undefeated team from a BCS school. The Razorbacks aren't falling apart, they've fallen apart. Rutgers stumbled along to unimpressive wins in the first two games before beating one of the Big East's better teams, South Florida, in Week 3. The Scarlet Knights seem to have a tough defense, but have problems moving the ball on offense. Meanwhile, the Hogs' defense is giving up yardage like water through a strainer right now. It's literally a toss-up, but I give Arkansas the edge simply because the game is on their home field.
SOUTH ALABAMA at MISSISSIPPI STATE
South Alabama has a solid coaching staff and, in time, will be a legitimate Sun Belt program. But now isn't that time. Mississippi State got a scare from Troy last week, but there is a wide gap between them and their Sun Belt brother in Mobile. The Bulldogs shouldn't go two consecutive weeks playing with questionable focus and won't.
SOUTH CAROLINA STATE at TEXAS A&M
The Aggies are looking to get their first conference victory next week against Arkansas and may be looking past South Carolina State. It won't matter. Look for A&M QB Johnny Manziel to post video game type numbers again this week.
AKRON at TENNESSEE
The Volunteers need to look sharp in this one just to keep the vultures off Derek Dooley's not yet dead carcass. Tennessee's second half collapse against Florida lit a bonfire under Dooley's seat. If the Vols struggle with this Akron team, which has yet to win a game this year against Division-IA opposition, that bonfire will be doused with rocket fuel.
VANDERBILT at GEORGIA
Vandy may be the conference's hardest team to figure out in 2012. They are obviously getting good coaching, but the bulk of the team's talent is probably in the freshman and redshirt freshman classes. The only hope for the Commodores here is to strike early and often with their ground attack, as the Dawgs' rush defense has been mediocre. UGA has simply too many athletes though and can pull away at any time.

LSU at Auburn Preview
by Steve Geller, email@example.com
posted Sep 21 2012 11:32AM
LSU is 3-0 on the year, but they're virtually untested as they've outscored their opponents 145-31. The Tigers are running the football just like they did last season, leading the SEC in rushing offense and scoring offense. Kenny Hillard and Alfred Blue are leading the way and have combined for 77 carries for 573 yards and eight touchdowns. Blue, however, is injured and will be unavailable after he banged up his knee against Idaho. Expect Michael Ford and Spencer Ware to get more carries, with Hilliard leading the way.
While he hasn't wowed anyone yet, Zach Mettenberger has made this offense balanced. He is completing almost 73% of his passes for 609 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions. In fact his numbers could be even better, but LSU receivers have had some big drops. Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry have combined for 23 catches for 280 yards and one touchdown. Kadron Boone and Mettenberger seem to have a good thing going as Boone has caught three touchdowns.
LSU is #1 in the SEC in total defense, allowing a mere 205 yards per game. We all knew they could replace the Honey Badger, and Jalen Mills has done a very nice job of doing just that. They have depth at every position, and the defensive line has lived up to the hype thus far. They have pressured the quarterback, and teams are being forced to get rid of the ball quickly.
On the flipside, Auburn is sitting at 1-2 on the season and has already lost a conference game to Mississippi State. They have really struggled as the offense has a long way to go, and the defense needs much better tackling.
Quarterback Kiehl Frazier looks lost at times leading the offense, and the best offense has been the power running game with Jay Prosch at fullback and Onterio McCalebb or Tre Mason at running back. The passing game is ranked last in the SEC, gaining 161 yards per game.
The Auburn defense hasn't fared much better. This group is 13th in the conference in total defense, allowing 442 yards per game. The rushing defense has been destroyed, allowing 217 yards per game on the ground.
LSU will come in and try to run the football down Auburn's throat, and for good reason. The Bayou Bengals are averaging more than 200 yards per game on the ground. The biggest key will be whether Auburn has any ability at all to stop it. We all know Les Miles, and as soon as he gets a lead on you, he pounds you into submission.
This will be Zach Mettenberger's first road start and SEC start. He will probably have some jitters, but I still really want to see what this kid is made of. I think he is the single key to LSU's ability to beat Alabama. Let's see what he can do against an SEC defense, even if it is Auburn.
Auburn will try to provide an upset special on the Plains as the visitor in this series is 1-11 since 2000, with three straight losses. Don't bet on that happening though as Auburn is a 19 point home underdog.

Fantasy Football Week 3: Sit 'Em, Start 'Em
by Steve Geller, firstname.lastname@example.com
posted Sep 21 2012 9:34AM
My fantasy team rebounded from a rough week 1 outing, and I'm happy to report that they at least haven't started the year 0-2 <cough, cough>. Hopefully your squad is clicking on all cylinders; unless of course, you happen to be one of the owners in my league...he he he he. Here's my advice for this week:
Chris Johnson: RB Tennessee Titans
This is always the hardest moment for fantasy owners. You spent a high draft pick on a running back that has had great success in the league, but not only does he start out slow; he is abysmal. So the question becomes, is this just a nightmare start or does this warrant a benching?
I think at this point you cannot afford to play the running back formally known as CJ2K in a bad matchup, and that's the case this week against Detroit. The Lions were the 12th fantasy running back defense last year and are the 16th ranked one so far this season. Put Johnson on your bench and wait to see if he can break out of this slump.
Carson Palmer: QB Cincinnati Bengals
I know, I know, Palmer is eighth in fantasy points among quarterbacks heading into Week 3, but he could find it difficult to sling it against the Steelers. Pittsburg has surrendered the fifth-fewest passing yards so far, and honestly I still need to see more from Palmer before I fully trust him as a starter.
San Diego Chargers defense
The Atlanta Falcons are rolling on offense right now. In fact, opposing defenses are averaging negative fantasy points over the first two weeks of the season. That makes the Chargers, a must to avoid. San Diego ranks a very pedestrian 16th among defenses based on fantasy points.
Dennis Pitta: TE Baltimore Ravens
Going into this season, there wasn't much talk about Dennis Pitta in the fantasy world. After two weeks his ears are starting to ring as folks keep talking about him. He leads the Ravens in all receiving categories and has been targeted 23 times, catching 13 of them for 138 yards and a TD.
The team has been raving about him since training camp started; it just took everyone outside of Baltimore a few weeks to listen.
Dwayne Bowe: WR Kansas City Chiefs
How can anyone not love Dwayne Bowe this week? He is coming off an impressive game where he hauled in eight balls for 102 yards and two touchdowns. This week he faces a Saints secondary that, as we all know,
can't cover anyone!
The former LSU Tiger is Matt Cassel's only reliable target and will be the beneficiary of this terrific matchup.
New York Jets defense
Despite the fact that the Mean Green did next to nothing in the stat sheets last week, their defense is still ranked among the top options in fantasy land. This week they go up against the Dolphins and rookie QB Ryan Tannehill. Rex Ryan is going to bring the heat, and I look for the J-E-T-S to put up big fantasy points Sunday in this AFC East tilt.
Pick up & play of the week
Donnie Avery: WR Indianapolis Colts
Avery followed an opening week touchdown with a 9 catch, 111 yard performance against the Vikings. His success is tied to Andrew Luck's, and the rookie QB has so far shown he can put up big passing numbers regardless of his struggles with ball security.
The biggest threat to Avery's production going forward could be Austin Collie, though the oft-concussed receiver is no safe bet to stay healthy. I really like Avery as an occasional game-breaker out of the slot.

Steve Geller: Week 3 Inside the SEC
by Steve Geller
posted Sep 14 2012 5:54PM
Well, we thought that Alabama at Arkansas in Week 3 was going to be one of the premier games of the 2012 season, but the Hogs' overtime loss to ULM last weekend has quelled that hype. Tennessee hosts Florida in the most important conference game of the week. The winner of that game will establish itself as a legitimate SEC East contender, while the loser will need some help from around the division to get back into contention.
Now, let's go inside the SEC:
LOUISIANA-MONROE at AUBURN
Suddenly, this throwaway game is the talk of the conference's slate of games this week. ULM comes in having knocked off Arkansas in Little Rock, while Auburn got crushed by Mississippi State. Louisiana-Monroe finds itself in a game where it might actually have the superior offensive talent, especially at quarterback, but I'm not expecting an upset in back-to-back weeks.
PRESBYTERIAN at VANDERBILT
The Commodores have scored only 13 points in each of their first two games, and have two losses to show as a result. Presbyterian provides a breather, as it barely has a football team to speak of, coming off a 59-3 loss to Georgia Tech.
This one will allow Vandy to build some confidence in Nashville.
ALABAMA at ARKANSAS
Alabama already has one road victory under its belt, the opener in Dallas against Michigan. Arkansas, meanwhile, has struggled in both of its opening games. 'Bama has proven to be much more physical, and are certainly less of a sideshow currently.
The big question, of course, is who will start under center for the Razorbacks. The Crimson Tide didn't appear to have much trouble with Tyler Wilson last year, knocking him around and forcing mistakes. Who believes it won't happen again, especially since the Hogs are worse along the offensive line, and Wilson is trying to shake the mental cobwebs out.
TEXAS A&M at SOUTHERN METHODIST
Texas A&M revives memories of the old Southwest Conference here. SMU, meanwhile, got crunched in its opener against Baylor and doesn't appear to have as good a team as a lot of people expected.
The Aggies' sometimes-soft defense might have trouble containing the Mustangs' offense all the time, but A&M should have no trouble scoring when they have the ball.
FLORIDA at TENNESSEE
Before the season started, this game was viewed as the meeting of two potentially mediocre teams that were mere shells of their former selves, fighting for third or fourth in the SEC East. But Tennessee's impressive opening win over North Carolina State, coupled with Florida winning its SEC debut on the road in College Station, have changed the dynamics of this one somewhat.
Tennessee has a more dangerous offense, but doesn't have a great defense. Florida's defense is growing salty, but its offense continues to misfire with a young quarterback at the helm.
On a neutral site, Florida should win 7 out of 10 times, but this game is in Knoxville. If Derek Dooley is to save his job, a win against the Gators is a must.
WESTERN KENTUCKY at KENTUCKY
If you're looking for an upset special this week, here it is. No one is sold on the Wildcats, and Western Kentucky is coming off a 35-0 loss to Alabama where the score was made lopsided by too many turnovers.
Kentucky had best not sleep on the Hilltoppers.
ARIZONA STATE at MISSOURI
This figures to be one of the most entertaining games of week, if for no other reason than to watch the offensive fireworks. Arizona State is off to a 2-0 start and its offense looks for real.
Missouri hung with Georgia for a half before yielding to the Bulldogs' superior depth. The PAC-12 is looking good so far, and Arizona State is beginning to emerge as a possible spoiler, but the Tigers have home field and that boost should be enough in this game.
ALABAMA-BIRMINGHAM at SOUTH CAROLINA
UAB is a bit of a mess at the moment, while South Carolina may be the class of the SEC East. There won't be much drama here, unless Gamecocks QB Connor Shaw is out again and erratic backup Dylan Thompson repeats his Vanderbilt performance, rather than the one he put up against East Carolina.
MISSISSIPPI STATE at TROY
The Bulldogs are 2–0, but the majority of their fans are all but certain that MSU will be 5–0 when Tennessee visits on Oct. 13. That is why this week's trip to Troy is a bit dangerous.
The Bulldogs have struggled in recent years with some teams from so-called lesser conferences. They beat Louisiana Tech last season and UAB in 2010 by an average of 5.5 points and lost to Houston in '09 and Louisiana Tech in '08.
Dan Mullen is well aware of what his team can accomplish this season and will do everything in his power to be sure the Bulldogs are mentally ready to take care of business against the Trojans.
FLORIDA-ATLANTIC at GEORGIA
The Bulldogs are getting two defensive starters back for this game, which will make it an even longer night for the already outmanned Owls. This is just one last tune-up for Georgia before really diving into SEC play, as the Dawgs will roll in this one.
IDAHO at LSU -
Click HERE for my extended preview of the Tigers-Vandals matchup...
TEXAS at MISSISSIPPI
Rebels sophomore Bo Wallace has been a pleasant surprise at quarterback for first-year coach Huge Freeze. The junior college transfer has completed 76% percent of his passes for 438 yards with five touchdowns and one interception. He's also rushed for 135 yards and two scores.
Those stats, however, were accumulated against Central Arkansas and UTEP. Wallace will now test his mettle against a ferocious Texas defense that has allowed a total of 17 points in two games. The Ole Miss QB will have to play extremely well to give the Rebels a chance to win as they are a 10.5 underdog at home.

posted Sep 14 2012 5:52PM
Aiming to become the first team in NCAA history to win 40 straight non-conference regular season games, the LSU Tigers host the not-so-mighty Idaho Vandals.
The Bayou Bengals, who have won a school-record 19 straight home games, wrap up a three-game home-stand Saturday before traveling to Auburn for their SEC opener next week. Head coach Les Miles has said that he likes the direction his team is heading, but noted there is still work to be done.
Meanwhile, Idaho enters this matchup still in search of its first win of the season. The Vandals fell at home to Eastern Washington in their season-opener, then dropped a 21-13 decision at Bowling Green last weekend.
In the only previous meeting between these two teams, LSU posted a 53-20 win over Idaho in 1998.
The Vandals are averaging just eight points a game currently, which ranks 119th out of 120 teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision. Despite the team's struggles to generate points, one positive did emerge from last week's loss, as transfer Dominique Blackman shined in his highly-anticipated debut at quarterback. He had one of the best first starts in school history, completing 30-of-37 passes for 352 yards and a touchdown. However, Blackmon also took four sacks and tossed an interception.
On the defensive side of the ball, Idaho did manage to hold Bowling Green to just seven first-half points on the road. The Vandals D performed well against the run, holding the Falcons to 90 rushing yards on 27 attempts.
For LSU, Coach Miles said that he liked the balance his offense was able to strike between the run game and the passing game against Washington, although there were too many dropped passes. The Tigers ran for 242 yards and four scores on the ground, while Zach Mettenberger completed 12-of-18 passes for 195 yards with a touchdown and was not sacked.
The Tigers have scored 40 or more points in 12 of their last 16 contests, as the offense has continued to operate in high gear through the first two games of the 2012 campaign. The Tigers have posted 41 points in each of their first two tilts, thanks largely to the second and third ranked rushers in the SEC in Alfred Blue and Kenny Hilliard.
LSU's defense notched four sacks last week and applied constant pressure on Washington quarterback Keith Price, which is precisely the attacking style of defense Miles wants his team to play. The Tigers enter the weekend atop the SEC in total defense and rushing defense, while ranking second in scoring defense.
If LSU can put up 41 points against the third best team in the Pac-12, how many points might they put up against Idaho? I expect the Vandals to get violated in this one.
