On the front page we offered the question if Louisville, Kentucky, and Indiana were in different conferences for football how would they do? If Louisville were in the Big 10 or the SEC would they be dominant like they are in the Big East? My Prediction: In the SEC Lville would go 9-3 or 10-2 every year. In the Big 10 they would go 11-1 this year. OSU is down and Wisconsin is a tad over rated. If UK were in the Big East would they go undefeated or be in the same position as Lville? If they were in the Big 10 would they roll or be in the middle of the conference? My Prediction: In the Big East UK would be a solid 9-3 to the worst 8-4 with Lville's schedule. In the Big 10 UK would be another 8 or 9 win team, clearly ahead of what they are in the SEC. As for IU, their football program not up to par with UK or UL but they would probably fair better in the Big East. My Prediction: They would be good for one more win if they were in the Big East. Now, if they switched to the SEC it would be brutal. They would be in real trouble and would be a 3 win team, maybe 4 depending on the Mississippi teams. MAKE A COMMENT AND TELL US WHAT YOU THINK. WE WILL READ YOUR TRASH TALK ANSWERS ON AIR. DO IT!

I would say the AP Poll messed up about as bad as the Coache's Poll. West Virginia being number 3 is a little high but I can see that giving they play Lville at home this year. Texas' schedule isn't as bad as many think but games at TCU and of course the Oklahoma rivalry will make it tough for a unbeatable season. I don't mind Michigan at number 5 but least switch them and Texas.  Number 6 Florida and number 7 Wisconsin is where they lose me. Florida loses their entire defense, top QB, running back, and welcomes in Tim Teabow who we've never seen throw (but have seen run the draw play). These two teams should be high just not top 10. Oklahoma and VT are in a good spot and if VT could escape a second week matchup with LSU they could play for the national championship. Louisville at 10 is at least one spot better than the coaches gave them. The sad thing is I really think they are better than at least Florida and Wisconsin. I still slate them at 7 or 8. I know these polls are strictly pre-season and mean nothing. But a team like Louisville now has to climb over 10 teams or 11 depending on the poll you look at. It could be tough with their schedule.

(BIG EZ AND JOHN DALY AT LAST YEAR'S WOLF CHALLENGE DINNER AT KENTUCKY INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION CENTER)

To me, he's kind of like the Colts when the Colts weren't popular.  You liked them because you had an emotional connection to them, they were close, and they had an outspoken posterchild, Jim Harbaugh.  But most of the time, they sucked.  But those couple times the Colts came out of the woodwork in the late 80's and early 90's, it made all of the pain worth it.  Daly is the same way, and I love him.

The man is cool.  He's the anti-superathlete, and I love it.  Sure, Daly is an athlete, but he does it on his terms.  He's probably got problems just like the rest of us, yet every once in awhile, the moons align, he's feeling good, and the chips start to fall in the right place (insert next cigarette drag here).

Great for John.  I hope it lasts.  I'll be rooting hard for him on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

COMMENTARY: Round 1 of the 2007 PGA Championship is in the books and a few new faces are on top of the leaderboard along with some witty veterans.  Englishman Graeme Storm fired at 5-under par 65 as he battled the tough conditions on the course and the rising heat.  The ever popular and former PGA Champ John Daly shot a 3-under 67 in round 1.  What a story it would be to see Big John win the tournament after everything he has been through in his career.  I guarantee a lot more people would be at the Wolf Challenge on Monday to see him if he were to win this weekend.  I hope he can hold it together for three more rounds.  Aaron Oberholser, Woody Austin and Stephen Ames are tied for 3rd after shooting 68s.  They too would make great stories if they could pull out a victory, being that none of them have won a Major Championship.  As for Tiger Woods, he shot a 1-over par 71 in round 1.  He was 2-under after nine holes but bogeyed 2 of his last 3 and 4 of his last 8 in route to a 71.  Something tells me he will get it turned in the right direction by tomorrow's round and put himself into contention for the weekend.  Phil Mickelson shot 73 in round 1 making 3 birdies and 6 bogeys.  Round 2 should be very interesting so make sure you visit The Blog Zone on 1570thezone.com tomorrow for updates and keep your radio locked on 1570 AM for on-air updates all day long.

Reggie...Reggie...Reggie. Say it ain't so, Reggie. Please say that you're really not considering coming back to the NBA.  You're not seriously thinking about tarnishing that 18-year career.  Listen to me Reggie, you're 42 and well outside of baseball...40 year olds just aren't as good in sports. So please say this report isn't right.

According to ESPN, former Indiana Pacer Reggie Miller is entertaining the thought of returning to the NBA.  Not with his old team however, but with the newly rebuilt Boston Celtics. According to the article, Miller is entertaining the thought because Boston has a legitimate chance to win a championship. Miller is currently an NBA analyst with TNT, but still plays recreationally. 

Say it ain't so Reggie. Miller has been calling friends and family to guage their responses, but I hope he calls me so I can knock some sense into him. NO. Even in a reserve role. N-O.

Listen to me Reggie: You're a Pacer.  You're going into the Hall of Fame anyway. A championship ring that you were only a reserve in getting wont speed that process up any faster. Plus... who says Boston will walk away with the title anyway?  There's still Detroit, Chicago, Miami and New Jersey.  And that doesn't even mention the LeCavs. Garnett, Pierce and Allen have never played on the same team before and if you look at the last couple of champions... well chemistry was everything. Chemistry is something Beantown lacks right now.

Plus, all three players have battled injuries.  I can see the Sportscenter interview with Danny Ainge right now after KG, Allen and Pierce all show up in "street clothes" for a third of the season. Oh and remember this... there is still the Western Conference. The Suns, Spurs and Mavericks aren't impressed yet boys.

So Reggie, stick to the booth.  Don't be a washed-up vet in search of a championship that may never come.  It's ok, stay retired, stay a Pacer. We'll still love you.

The song below is just downright funny. It's a song about Barry Bonds saying basically what everyone thinks. I'll post the words here, make sure to check it out. Pure gold.

TheHatandtheLabel.mp3 (3.23 MB)

A legacy arrived one April day

He came to the bigs from Arizona State

But there were records to break and reporters to berate

He learned to cheat in 98’

And he was juicin’  ‘fore ya knew it and as he grew

He’d say, “I’m gonna cheat like you, Mark.

You know I’m gonna catch up to you.”

And the hat and the label says there ain’t no room

For Barry’s head and the record it looms

756 and we don’t know when

But we’ll put an aesterick then

You know we’ll put an aesterick  then

Bonds turned 43 just the other day

He said, “ I’ll be in the hall, so come on let’s play

Can you watch me Bud” he said, “Not today

I got a lot to do” he said, “that’s ok”

And he walked away but his scowl never dimmed

He Said, “I’m gonna stick it to him, yeah.

You know I’ll do anything to win

And the stats are labeled on everyman’s tomb

Barry, Mark and Sammy like a bunch of cartoons

When you’ll do anything that you can to win

We’ll you’ll have a record then…yeah

You know you’ll have a record then

Well,he came to spring training one early March day

So much like a giant you  just had to say

“I’m ashamed of you, won’t you leave for a while?”

But he turned around, and he hissed with a smile

“what I’d really like Bud is to bring the game to it’s knees

See ya later, got a record to sieze!”

And the rap and the label of a steroid goon

Barry’s head grew to the size of the moon

756 and it seems a sin

To Hank, a true man of men yeah

To Hank and all of them

Hank’s long since retired, records do fade away

I wonder though about fair play

I’d like to ask them if they wouldn’t mind

Givin’ me back my wasted time

You see, Mark and Sammy and the others too

As a fan it’s hard not to feel screwed, guys

we sure used to like watchin’ you

As I finish this song it occurs to me,

It’s all about money

Yeah all about the cheese 

And the stats in the fable and the feeling of gloom

Hamerin’ Hank and Bud’s a buffoon

The record will fall and we don’t know when

But we’ll get a sick feelin’ then

You know we’ll have a bad time then
