Miniaci's must-read musings (and other alliterations)

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

Oh man. It's unbelievable. It's just what I wanted to see. Fox Sports gave me the option of a Brett Favre cam during Sunday's game. I could watch him at all times. I could even watch him sit on the bench. It's just so..............horrifying. Honestly, who the heck thought that was a good idea? Please promptly hand in your resignation papers. Brett has received more unwarranted attention than anyone in the league. Stop giving it to him. Enough is enough. Let him play, sink back into the shadows and keep the spotlights off of him. How 'bout we give attention and credit to other players in the league who go unnoticed? Oh wait, that wouldn't help ratings would it? That's a shame. Seriously, get the cameras off Brett and focus them on someone else on the first-place Vikings. I don't want to see him.

Some things important and not so important:

- As a grower of facial hair myself, I was of course glad to hear an athlete won the Robert Goulet Memorial Mustached American of the Year Award. Congrats to Diamondbacks pitcher Clay Zavada.

- I could say something about Tom Cable, as it would dually be funny and annoy Sports Editor Adam Clark. I'll be the gentleman though. Because I'm gentler than Cable.

- Halloween means athletes wearing fun costumes. What did I like? Blackhawks' Jonathan Toews and Adam Burish dressed in the Dumb and Dumber tuxedos. Awesome.


Video of the Week:
This player on the semi-pro Las Vegas Cobras makes a pretty good tackle on the kick return. So why is this the video of the week? Because he was on the receiving team and tackled his own teammate. Maybe he's just color blind.

The Roster

Mug

Dave Miniaci is a senior majoring in journalism and is the Daily Collegian's sports chief. He has previously been sports night chief and a sports copy editor. He has also covered men's rugby, men's track and field and field hockey. He is from New Jersey and is a big Devils fan and proud of both, and he doesn't care if you hold that against him.


Mug

Adam Clark is a senior majoring in journalism and is the Daily Collegian's sports editor. He previously covered fraternity and sorority life, crime and courts and was the Collegian's summer 2009 news/sports editor. His favorite athlete died on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500 and his favorite football team is coming off the worst six-year stretch in NFL history. He does hold it against Dave Miniaci that he's from New Jersey.


Mug

Dan Rorabaugh is a senior majoring in sports journalism and minoring in English. He is the sports copy desk chief, and was previously a reporter for the men's rugby, men's cross country, men's volleyball, women's soccer, women's basketball and men's lacrosse teams. Last year, the impossible dream happened - one of his favorite teams, the Phillies, won a championship. Now if only the Eagles could catch some of that magic, he might be able to actually find peace with sports.


Mug

Michael Oplinger is a junior majoring in media studies and political science and the Collegian's assistant sports copy desk chief. He previously covered the men's tennis and men's volleyball teams. Even though he enjoyed the Phillies' World Series victory, he misses the days of Jose Mesa and David Bell.


Mug

Eddie Gentile is a senior majoring in journalism and minoring in history. He works on the sports copy desk and previously has covered the women's tennis team, the Lady Icers and the Penn State baseball team. Gentile is your stereotypical Philly fan - he considers every game a loss until they actually win... and even then he'll probably still be moaning. Go birds.


Mug

David Rung is a senior majoring in journalism and minoring in kinesiology. He works on the sports copy desk and previously has covered the women's swimming team and the men's rugby team. Rung isn't as die hard about pro sports as his sports staff brethren from Philly and Pittsburgh, but he does take pride in being a Red Sox fan before the bandwagon started.
