I guess most football fans can tell you right off the bat where Vince Young played his college football (Texas). Or Peyton Manning (Tennessee). But unless you’re a total geek about this stuff, it can be a fun challenge to test the backwaters of your memory. Some of the NFL QBs listed below aren’t that long removed from their alma maters. Others are getting pretty long in the tooth. But all have

The Tuesday Morning Quarterback: NFL Week #10 Winners and Losers
Posted on 8:59 AM by ergeg
Rams finally win one. Dolphins remain winless. Colts on two-game losing streak. Cowboys and Packers assert dominant NFC leanings. And the wild-card races in both conferences just get tighter. You won’t hear fans complain about that. It was fun to lounge around on the couch this past weekend, and watch parity at its best. That includes the college game, where the typical powers continue to

The Return of the Tuesday Morning Quarterback: NFL Week #9 Winners and Losers
Posted on 1:08 PM by ergeg
We’ve been busy lately, with paid music and writing gigs and also a special free-lance photography project I hope to have completed by the spring of ‘08. I’ve still got my finger on the NFL’s pulse, though. For most teams, this is the halfway point—eight games into the season—and a good time to take stock. There are plenty of disappointments out there: Rams (0-8), Jets (1-8), 49ers (2-6),

Posted on 12:22 AM by ergeg
Sports Media America is three years old today. Guess we’re still just out of infancy. In 36 months, we have produced nearly 150 stories (146 to be exact, including this one)—on major sports issues and events, on the various national and local radio and TV outlets that provide sports coverage, on the book publishing industry, and, in several cases, on non-sports-related media events about which we

Ramsey the Radio Shill: Cashing in for Christ on Sports Talk Radio
Posted on 12:13 PM by ergeg
Nashville sports radio is where Nashville sports radio talent make money—and not necessarily talking about sports. No, the real ultimate bonanza, once you can break into the local radio game, is doing voiceovers for commercials. George Plaster, Mike Keith, Frank Wycheck, Jeff Diamond—the list goes on. Once they are voices on the radio, they convert their insider position into additional bucks by

Burns’ “War” Embattled: Hispanic Outcry, Stylistic Sameness Dull Its Documentary Luster
Posted on 4:49 AM by ergeg
Warning: Non-Sports ContentI’ve been checking out segments of the new Ken Burns documentary film The War on PBS. Guess what? It kinda sucks. Let me preface my remarks by saying that, unlike the Hispanic Americans who raised a stink about the film, I do not think Burns is a racist. No, the guy whose three previous major PBS features—The Civil War, Baseball, and Jazz—basically rubbed the white
The Tuesday Morning Quarterback: NFL Week #3 Winners and Losers... w/ Media Notes
Posted on 2:21 AM by ergeg
The beat goes on. Five teams remain undefeated: New England, Indy, Pittsburgh, Dallas and—surprise!—Green Bay. Five remain winless: Atlanta, Buffalo, Miami, St. Louis and New Orleans. Titans 34, Saints 14—Titans (2-1) do a lot of little things well enough, but also intercept Drew Brees 4 times. Saints—considered Super Bowl contenders by many preseason prognosticators (ahem...)—are in trouble
