So that was a pretty decent game last night. Mostly thanks to what I think was a really poor officiating job, but since I didn’t really care all that much who won, I was happy it was a good game. More interestingly, though, it’s a shame more of the country didn’t get to see the best [...]

So, for those of you who stalk me are friends with me on Facebook, you might have already come to hear about the biggest news in the World of Pete this week. Specifically: I was fired on Monday. No, it wasn’t economy related (I don’t think), and I really had no idea it was coming. [...]

Over the past three football seasons I have been writing for AOL’s sports blog, FanHouse. I compiled over 100,000 words on college football, and was a part of the initial group at kick-off. Last night, I got an email from Randy Kim, FanHouse’s Executive Producer, informing me that I was no longer on the team. [...]

Thanksgiving came and went, bringing with it my 28th birthday. It should be stated, and cannot be emphasized enough, that I don’t think birthdays are a big deal. In this regard, Dave Barry and I see eye to eye. I typically prefer not to have things bought for me and, truth be told, the 40 [...]

I finally found a platform point of Obama’s I could get behind: Down with the BCS! (Just for clarity’s sake: this post is satire. I do not actually want you to vote for Obama.)

This is certifiably hilarious: Thanks to A.J. for passing it along.

Yesterday was a crazy, crazy day. So crazy. I drove over to Athens for lunch and some tailgating before driving back to Atlanta to watch the game. Scout wouldn’t have done well for the 14 or 15 hours he’d have been alone had I stayed. Speaking of Scout, his old collar (now 2+ years old) broke [...]

So USC drops one to Oregon State. ESPN provides this as a headline: Game summary or dire warning about certain kinds of contraception? You tell me.

I watched football last night and it was good. The watching, I mean, not the actual games. The games were mostly terrible. Stanford/Oregon State was good, but the rest were pretty awful. I’m headed to Bloomington tonight to eat some sushi, go out there one last time before the move to Atlanta, and take in [...]
