I really didn’t know where to put this, so feel free to move around to the best place.

I thought I would take up some space here with a little introduction Q&A of someone that I think will be a very valuable member to Sports Jabber and someone who’s blog is worth mentioning for sports fans.

The 2011 Trojans possessed a unit of linebackers that stood out among the rest. Two of three starters received freshman All-American honors, which is a credit to Joe Barry and his ability to accelerate progress and transform inexperienced youth to veteran performers. Looking forward, we were projecting continuity and the same results for incoming Scott Starr [...]

Just when you think you’ve heard all the names that could possibly fall within range of the Cowboys’ 14th pick in the 2012 draft, somebody comes along and smacks you upside the head with a new name.

This week that somebody is Nolan Nawrocki of Pro Football Weekly. Nawrocki isn’t just some dude with an internet access[...]

Each month, we announce the monthly nominees for Member of the Month. We’re doing this because we want the nominees and the rest of the members and guests to know & applaud ALL of the members who the staff recognizes as making[...]

One of my favorite moments in sports is, against all odds, the “deuce” in tennis. Not for the physical act of hitting a fluorescent ball over a net, which I find about as exciting as a city zoning meeting, but for the competitive purity of the concept. You can’t win the game until you’ve won it decisively, by two points — no flukes, no games determined by a bad call or a single sketchy bounce[...]

Indianapolis Colts beat writer, Mike Chappell, has a strong feeling the Colts will use the first over all pick on Stanford QB, Andrew Luck. Posed with the question from a reader as to whether there was a chance or not on if the Colts may use the pick on Baylor QB, Robert Griffin III, Chappel outlined factors that would contribute to the decision, but ultimately felt the pick [...]

It won’t be long before we will be subjected to an endless barrage of continuously changing mock-drafts.  In anticipation of the mock draft season, we give you this week’s fan question:
Drew Knight, Ontario,Canada:  I know it is difficult to predict the draft this early, most draft projections are not finished and [...]

The USC football program took great strides in 2011, finishing with ten victories and a top-10 ranking in an NCAA shortened campaign. The new year comes without season restriction, enabling the Men of Troy to travel a road without end and reach for the ultimate prize. With the Pac 12 release of the 2012 football schedule, we can eye the obstacles upon that course to determine whether it’s one flowing with difficulty or ease.[...]

Lost amidst all the recent additions and subtractions from the Cowboys’ coaching ranks was a bit of news that may prove to have the most positive impact on the Cowboys fortunes in 2012 and beyond: the fact that the Dallas Director of Player Personnel Tom Ciskowski will remain with the team (of course, we were all over it here at BTB; [...]

A lot of the recent discussion about the Cowboys O-line has revolved around the guard position, specifically around David DeCastro as one option for the Cowboys’ first-round pick in the April draft. What has gotten a little lost in that discussion is that the weakest link in the interior offensive line was arguably the center position.[...]
