Ohio State As Much To Blame As Tressel For Compliance Issues

Even though Jim Tressel has become the guy everyone blames for the Ohio State Buckeyes free fall, the Ohio State University must take equal blame as well. It seems that years ago their were compliance issues with Jim Tressel and the school did little about it. All that was done was drafting a letter telling Tressel he is doing a poor job in the compliance area, and put in his file.

This means that the Ohio State University knew their were problems in this area, but never really fully addressed it apparently. Ohio State was winning football games and going for Big Ten and National Championships, so people did not care. Yes, the University was not happy about it, but they turned the other cheek when they could have put their foot down. If they would have the Ohio State football program would not be where it is at right now. Sure Jim Tressel had a big hand in it, but you must also blame the University as well for having a blind eye to it.


Kyle Busch Grabs 100th Win In Nascar As He Wins In New Hampshire

Kyle Busch just continues to win as he took his 100th career Nascar win Saturday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Busch has won a 100 total races in the Truck, Nationwide, and Cup series. Busch and Harvick almost got into another dust-up, but Nascar warned Harvick if he did they would park his car.  Busch has 22 wins in Sprint Cup and 29 in the Trucks Series.


Richard Petty is NASCAR's career leader with 200 wins and David Pearson is second with 106. Petty won all of his races at the Cup level. Pearson won 105 races in Cup and one in Nationwide. Busch has 100 wins spread over NASCAR's top three national series. Busch is just 26 years old and has many years ahead of him. If he stays healthy and drivers for a competitive owner there is really no telling how many wins Kyle Busch could end up with. Like him or hate him you have to give him credit he does win Nascar races no matter what series he races in.



Joe Girardi Thinks Toronto Maybe Stealing Signs Who Doesn't These Days

New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi thinks that Toronto may have some system that is letting them steal signs from the Yankees. After two straight losses, you could probably hear the frustration in his comments as the Blue Jays had their way with the Yankees in the first two games of the series. Now with C.C. Sabathia shuting down the Blue Jays today, I doubt we will hear about sign stealing at Girardi's news conference.

The truth is it would not come much of a surprise to me if every team in baseball stole signs somehow. No matter what any team tells you they will take whatever advantage they can get. If you do not think so, your sadly mistaken. I am sure the Yankees do it just as much as any other Major League ball club does. It is something that is not suppose to happen, but it does all the time. People just do not talk about it much unless they get burnt by it. Guess Girardi felt a little burnt by it.
