Your All-Decade High School Football Team
College Football, High School Sports, Video August 3rd. 2009, 6:45pmBut first, Lane Kiffin’s shirtless Vols pose – that appears to be Eric Berry, DMX-style, with the chains around his neck – with a lambo. This will be the most breathlessly-reported-on sub .500 team in college football history.
The all-decade team is highlighted mostly by college and pro stars: Reggie Bush, Vince Young, Tim Tebow, and Adrian Peterson plus young, up-and-coming cats like Julio Jones (Alabama), AJ Green (Georgia), and Terrelle Pryor (Ohio State).
The coolest stat on that page: Ted Ginn picked off eight passes as a senior and ran back five of them for touchdowns. What we didn’t like:
A) Would it have been that difficult to hyperlink videos? Here are a few, because that’s how we roll: Reggie Bush, Julio Jones, and Peterson.
B) Surely there had to be some high school legends who flamed out in college and/or the pros. That list would probably be more fun than the All-Decade team.
Lastly, two things: You will never know what sort of epic tweets Ricky Williams and Joey Porter could produce. And Jennifer Love Hewitt in a bikini playing tennis.

Sad thing is, like he said, being a dick works. He gets publicity. How else were they going to report on the 9th best team in the SEC?

the orioles are doing bad, bad things to justin verlander right now. Not as bad as what those shirtless well oiled ruffians would do if they got their hands on his supple young body, but pretty bad things.
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:23 pm
we took a look at the MaxPreps all decade team for bball.
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:26 pm
I’d venture to guess Tennessee won’t be sub .500.
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:32 pm
@ Mole,
McCutchen went yard in the first. he’s good.
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:38 pm
confused on the all decade team. was it supposed to be which guys were the best in high school? because joe thomas is listed as being 2nd team all american in high school, not sure how that makes him one of the 5 best high school linemen of the last 10 years.
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:40 pm
and mason crosby was ranked as the 3rd best kicker his senior year. how did he become the best high school kicker of the decade?
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:41 pm
Dangerously ghey
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:42 pm
Greg McMackin has NOTHING to say about that UT video.
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:43 pm
If it’s not on friday night lights I don’t give a shit about high school football. Though Michael Lewis’s “blindside” was pretty good, Mike Oher has had a fucked up life.
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:44 pm
Also, no way is UT sub .500 this year. Come on.
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:45 pm
After my senior year in high school I played in this greater houston area all star game and this big defensive lineman walks into the first meeting wearing this huge chain around his neck as a necklace. true story
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:48 pm
i only wish it was tOSU football team in the video

I wish, I only got on because someone from each school had to go. I got a free jersey from it though
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:54 pm
WR is also a bit of a guessing game. For instance, Calvin Johnson played in an offense that threw the ball 5 times per game max in high school. Context is important to consider.
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:55 pm

sounds like the Pirates. has your high school been contracted yet?

Hey SC,
I totally typed the whole name of your blog into a comment. I didn’t exactly give you the Irish treatment on that one.
August 3rd, 2009 at 8:11 pm
It’s a blog. I’m just fuckin’ with ya, dirt.
As for your Tiger news, here’s the video evidence.
August 3rd, 2009 at 8:15 pm
just another case for the argument that farts, are in fact, funny. if tiger woods, who comes across …wooden, laughs at a fart it proves that farts are funny.
August 3rd, 2009 at 8:17 pm
real impressive showing earlier today on that one post, folks. still catching up on all of them.

i keep seeing simmons talking about some guy named jacko in his podcasts. who/what is jacko?
August 3rd, 2009 at 8:34 pm
Keeping your feet, with Barbaro?
August 3rd, 2009 at 8:36 pm
jacko is simmons friend, the guy he’s talking too in today’s podcast IS jacko.
August 3rd, 2009 at 8:37 pm
I get all of Simmons’ buddies mixed up. I think that dude is the one who likes the Yankees.
August 3rd, 2009 at 8:38 pm
Simmons, like Howard Stern, has a stable of friends/hangers on that make appearances in his columns and stories, including Jacko, House, and Cousin Sal, who we can all enjoy during football season when they pick the lines. There’s at least one more guy (besides kimmel and corolla) that I’m missing.

Rob Stone is another one. I don’t know how everybody ended up with a nickname, but they all have douchey nicknames. Nobody is just their name.
August 3rd, 2009 at 8:40 pm
Jacko does like the Yankees, he works for an importer/exporter business, grew up in suburban conneticutt, attended holy cross, is a dyed in the wool republican, hated mark teixera and CC earlier in the season but no longer does, was recently married, and possibly beats the new bride. These are the things I know about Jacko. Oh. I don’t like him.

August 3rd, 2009 at 8:42 pm
who/what is jacko?
this guy
August 3rd, 2009 at 8:44 pm
Oh, he claims to like Mad Men but doesn’t seem to know anything about what is going on on it, also claims a fondness for Deadwood and older Real Worlds. Simmons apparently makes him watch programming for his own amusement. Other Jacko facts as events warrant.
August 3rd, 2009 at 8:45 pm

As long as the person who wrote that is taken out of the breeding population one way or another, it’s all cream cheese.

Anybody else seen the clips of Shatner reading Palin’s speech and Tweets? That was hilarious.
August 3rd, 2009 at 9:19 pm
I’m just happy the O’s got 6+ out of Tillman. That’s really all I wanted. And Matusz makes his debut tomorrow, yeah man.

re: Shatner. Happened to catch it on Conan that night, and it’s been on MSNBC a bunch (probably Fox too). Not as funny (I thought) as they made it our to be. Not speaking politically, just I think he’s done shit like that and it was funnier
August 3rd, 2009 at 9:24 pm
Already? Why are they starting his arb clock?
August 3rd, 2009 at 9:28 pm
fetch, I know, I was somewhat surprised as well. They had been saying how he wouldn’t be coming up this season at all, wanted an entire year in the minors. I don’t really get it. I thought Arietta was the next one to debut.
August 3rd, 2009 at 9:29 pm
Then again, with the trend as of late being to extend any young kid who tears it up within the first couple years, it probably won’t matter anyways.
August 3rd, 2009 at 9:31 pm
Good point. I don’t give a shit about Tillman but Matusz is my #1 prospect on my sim league team so I don’t want to see him get ruined. And I don’t want to bring him up before he has a solid year or two so he gets a good projection.
August 3rd, 2009 at 9:32 pm
The NFL has spoken on the use of a certain social networking tool.
There will be a bannin’ for some NFLers this year, I bet.
August 3rd, 2009 at 9:35 pm
I gotcha. Yeah, I have no real explanation. But since this is the first season the Orioles have gotten me excited about anything not related to Cal since I was 11, I might was well get excited about this.
I really just hope it doesn’t ruin him either. But I’ll pretty much agree with Andy MacPhail on anything at this point, so I trust him.
August 3rd, 2009 at 9:37 pm
It’s the same way that Troy Aikman can be in the same College Football Hall of Fame class as former Heisman Trophy winner Billy Cannon.
And Cannon won the Heisman in ‘58, while Aikman played 30 years later.
August 3rd, 2009 at 9:48 pm
There will be a bannin’ for some NFLers this year, I bet.
there should be. If I was head coach in my first meeting of the year and Long Dong Silver was tw++ting this as I spoke (from Peter King MMQB):
“Here we go with the meetings again … the first week highlights fundamentals. So boring but essentail [sic].”
–vshiancoe, Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe, time-stamped at 11 a.m. Thursday, when the team was in team meetings. That was followed by Shiancoe’s next Tweet 46 minutes later:
“Zzzzzz zzzz zzzz zzz (in meetings) lol … Introducing the staff.”
I think I’d put in a bannin’ also
you know some cement head will inadvertantly say something that’s gonna get somebody (themself, teammate, team) in trouble this season

August 3rd, 2009 at 9:56 pm
The cubs bullpen is super. Remember when Carlos Marmol was Goose Gossage with bigger ears and no stache?
August 3rd, 2009 at 9:57 pm
If willy taveras manages to get a hit Marmol should commit hari kari right on the mound.
August 3rd, 2009 at 10:11 pm
Oh, we totally agree in Cubs fan land Taguchi. There is nothing more frustrating than a guy with electric stuff that either a) doesn’t want to throw strikes or b) has no clue where it’s going.
It’s so hard to watch. I’ve always thought Larry Rothschild was trash. We’ll trade you him and 5 Wrigleyville whores for Dave Duncan.
August 3rd, 2009 at 10:22 pm
Bad comparison. Raging Bull got robbed.
August 3rd, 2009 at 11:09 pm
His buddy Hench is actually Kevin Hench who writes for Fox Sports.

If the Cubs could use a DH, it’d be Rick Wilkins.
August 4th, 2009 at 3:32 am
I have been accused of much, but TBL this was one awful discombobulated post. A homoerotic pose by the University of Tennessee football team, a hot chick in a bikini with racket, and YOUR picking from an excellent list that reads more like the ALL-ESPN Top 10. Were you high or something?
August 4th, 2009 at 8:32 am
A lot of Miami players on that All Decade team. Who would have thought?
