It is my opinion that Tennessee’s Philip Fulmer needs to get a better hold on his football players while they are not on the field. I don’t think that the proper way to address the situations is to question the police department’s actions. The missing word here is discipline. Parents aren’t gonna want their kids to come there to play ball if there is no control.
It is my opinion that the lynching remark made on the Golf Channel should have offended no one other than maybe a few cattle rustlers.
It is my opinion that “the” Ohio State University should never again be ranked number one in college football as I don’t think they can beat any SEC team, even my lowly Commodores.
It is my opinion that Tiger Woods is the greatest golfer in the world. It took me a long time to decide on this.
It is my opinion that the most biased people in the world are Volunteer fans.
It is my opinion that Roger Clemens is as guilty as sin of the allegations against him and he will be found out. Sorry, but we shouldn’t do the crime if we can’t do the time.
It is my opinion that Pacman Jones should never be allowed to participate in professional football again. We must start enforcing penalties against habitual offenders of the law regardless of their athletic ability. He needs to take his millions and open his own strip club as that seems to be where he spends most of his time.
It is my opinion that the Vanderbilt basketball team needs to step it up a notch. Even I am beginning to be embarrassed.
It is my opinion that not every word spoken in the dining area of Mitchell Drugs is the unabashed truth. In fact probably less than 50 percent.
It is my opinion that Eli Manning needs to work on another facial expression that doesn’t give the ‘lost in space’ look.
It is my opinion that Tom Brady is a humanoid robot that doesn’t deserve the type of women that seem to flock to him.
It is my opinion that athletes should be paid on a performance basis rather than a ton of money up front, the better you play this week, the more money you make and if your play stinks we’ll only pay for your meals.
It is my opinion that high school basketball is a good thing that is fun to watch.
It is my opinion that all referees deserve to be mildly screamed at on some occasions.
It is my opinion that the Super Bowl is way over-hyped.
It is my opinion that we all deserve a great week filled with joy and peace, brightened by the Colgate-laced smiles of all those around us.
I’ve given you my opinion, let me hear yours.
Have a great week and enjoy your football party on Sunday but drive carefully and cautiously or ask your designated driver to do so.
Go CCHS!!! Go Stone!!! Go USA!!!
