Michael Vick should coach at USC

This is why you don’t go on to opposing team blogs/message boards and incite their fans.

After a USC fan went on to Bruins Nation and pulled out an Eric Scott reference, a contributor to BN did some research, and discovered that a current USC assistant coach was arrested and charged with the mistreatment of dogs being trained on his property for dogfighting in 1996. In the same thread, Bruins Nation commenters later found that the same assistant, Todd McNair, was a part of the Reggie Bush free house scandal. They also found that McNair’s punishment was only a $16,000 fine and found a gruesome picture of one of the dogs.

I read a lot of sports articles and blogs daily and follow Pac-10 football very closely. I had never heard of this before I saw it on Bruins Nation yesterday. So I’m guessing a lot of people will be seeing this for the first time today, either on Bruins Nation or another blog that will pick up the story (like mine).

It’s unfortunate that we had to learn that another former NFL player was involved in dogfighting. Thanks USC fans, for helping us find yet another flaw with your shady program.

Wednesday baseball preview: All day long

GAME OF THE AFTERNOON: LA Angels at Seattle Mariners, 1:30 p.m.

These two teams played a thriller last night, as the Angels won 10-6 after being down 5-0 in the first inning. Ervin Santana didn’t get out of the first inning, but Dustin Moseley came in and shut the Mariners down. The Angels kept chipping away at the lead and finally went ahead for good with a four-run eighth inning. Mariner fans are taking the loss quite hard.

The Angels now have a four-game lead over the Mariners in the AL West. Today, the Angels go for the sweep. Probables: Jered “I’m the good one” Weaver vs. Felix Hernandez

EVENING:

Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees, nationally televised on ESPN, 4 p.m. Can’t both of these teams lose?

New York Mets at Philadelphia Phillies, 4 p.m. The Phillies have won two in a row against the Mets, with a Ryan Howard walk-off homer helping them last night. Meanwhile, Mets fans just love Guillermo Mota right now.

Milwaukee Brewers at Chicago Cubs, 5 p.m. The Brewers have now fallen into third place, 2.5 behind the Cubs and 1/2 a game behind St. Louis. Just don’t call Cubs fans “Cubs Nation”.

NIGHT:

Arizona Diamondbacks at San Diego Padres, 7 p.m. Can anyone else believe the 10 p.m. Sportscenter led with D-Backs/Padres? I was shocked. Let’s see more West games first in the future.
