Robert Smith just called the Buffs upset over KU on ESPN... I'm feeling pretty good about this one too. I'm not sure what we're planning on doing today at QB, personally I'd like to see Ballenger get in a few series when it matters to see how he performs. I love Cody, I think he's a great kid, and I've defended him before on this blog, but he is playing pretty terrible this year. He seems to

I was just saying to a friend the other day.... "You know what this season is missing, friend that I made up for this story? A Denver Broncos rap song" Then I found this little gem.....I know what some of you are thinking... probably something along the lines of "Wow. That was absolutely awful" But you have to give the guy some props for the effort. Seriously. He used the phrase "

My buddy Mike, who went to CSU, has been emailing a lot this past week saying that he thought CSU would win 72-16. He also mentioned something about another one of our buddies mom being involved in some sort of gang-bang gonzo type video that somehow displayed CSU's dominance of CU. I feel fairly confident that neither of these are true. This is the main problem I have with CSU. I usually could

Haven't been doing a lot of blogging lately... my bad on that one. I've spent the last three weeks locked in a concrete room with no windows or booze as I deftly analyzed every possibility and outcome to better prepare myself for my Fantasy Football drafts.I'll tell you if it was worth it in January.But that is the past my friends, and I am looking to the future.

University of Colorado AD Mike Bohn announced plans yesterday to make Folsom Field into the first zero-waste football stadium in the country. "Our football coach talks about returning the national championship to Boulder," Bohn said on the first day of practice. "We want to be more than good. We want to be innovative. We want to set the standard for what is intercollegiate athletics at the

Whoever said watching a bunch of old dudes playing golf was boring? Yesterday's round at the PGA's US Senior Open in Colorado Springs was right out of a Mountain Dew commercial. There were elderly men attempting to walk a few miles, the record breaking heat.... oh yeah, and there were bears.Right after Hale Irwin missed a par putt on the 12th hole, the bear darted across the fairway of The

Did the Nuggets really just trade Marcus Camby for jack shit? Is this an actual trade or some kind of prank?What the hell are we doing?The best the Nugget brass could come up with for Camby was the rights to swap 2nd round draft picks in 2010 with the LA Clippers. That's it!?? What, the rights to retire Pooh Richardson's jersey weren't available? How about just a Ron Harper throwback?We are

So.... Travis Henry has apparently tested positive for drug use again.That's just special.Honestly, has there ever been a more tardtastic athlete in the history of sports?Let's see, he knocked a different chick up nine different times, he's constantly forgetting to pay child-support, he's now tested positive for marijuana at least three times....

The free-agency signing period starts tomorrow, and the Nuggets aren't exactly making a lot of noise. We drastically need PG help, and we were targeting Chris Duhon, but unfortunately it looks like Duhon decided he'd rather sign up with the Knicks than come to Denver (kind of a crushing blow to the ego there. One team has Anthony Carter starting at PG, the other has about 17 PG's on the roster

Lineups for the MLB All-Star game were announced yesterday, and once again it was on display just how kick-ass the Class of '95 was for high school sports in Colorado. We f-ing ruled!Roy Halladay (Arvada West, class of '95) and Brad Lidge (Cherry Creek, class of '95) were both picked as reserve pitchers for the game. It's the 2nd All-Star game for Lidge, and the 5th for Halladay, proving again

The Nuggets put all the Carmelo trade talks to rest today by assuring Melo and his agent that he will not be traded any time soon. Hopefully this will put to bed all of the idiotic trade rumors surrounding Carmelo since the Nuggs lost out in the first round of the playoffs again this season. I absolutely cannot believe how much steam these trade rumors have picked up over the past couple of

Now that the NBA season is over and my preseason NBA predictions went horribly wrong, we'll have to deal with yet more verbal fellating of a Boston sporting team.... But I would like to focus on the fellating of on Kevin Garnett. You see, he and the media like to fancy KG as some sort of tough guy, someone you'd never want to engage in a round of fisticuffs. And with all of the screaming,

As our dozens of readers have probably noticed.... the Homers have been out of commission for quite some time. What's going on with them you ask? Well, we could make excuses about new jobs, new children, mental instability, possible incarceration, an extended drug binge, etc... but we can't lie to you. The truth is this.... We just went fishing. See? Here is a totally real picture from the

Well....It's been nearly a month since we posted anything new on this blog, and I can't really think of a good excuse for it outside of just being lazy. But this morning the immortal words of Morgan Freeman entered my head and told me "to get busy bloggin', or get busy dyin'", and with the sultry baritone of MF ringing in my ears I realized what I had to do.....A link dump.Sure it's a cop out,

Today is national signing day for high school recruits and it has been one f-ing outstanding day to be a Buff.Not only did we sign everyone on our commitment list, but we also landed RB Rodney Stewart from Columbus, Ohio and Paul Vigo from New Brunswick, NJ. Stewart is small but runs a 4.4, so he will most likely be used as a return specialist. Vigo is listed as an athlete, I think he'll

Today's the big day in our pursuit of Darrell Scott. Today's the day we send all of the troops into the Scott household (seven coaches in all is what I've heard) and do our best to persuade him to don the Black and Gold, and lead our Buffs to at least three consecutive National Championships. Today could be remembered as one of the greatest days in Colorado Buffalo history when it's all said

The NBA announced the starters for this year's All-Star game last night, and Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson got the starting nod for the Western Conference. How many starters did the amazing Boston Celtics produce? Only one. HAHA! Suck it Boston! I knew we'd eventually beat you in something!It seems very likely that Marcus Camby may get a reserve spot as well, giving the Nuggets 3

Imagine being asked this question a month ago:Who will score 40 points in an NBA game first? Kevin Durant or Linas Kleiza?Linas Kleiza blew up last night for 41 points in the Nuggets 120-109 victory over the Utah Jazz. That's right, Linas Kleiza scored 40 points in an NBA game.... Linas. Kleiza.In fact, Kleiza scored 40 in an NBA game before a number of big name current players like Ron Artest,

The truth behind Nene's recent mysterious health problem came to light yesterday, a testicular tumor.It's unclear as to whether the tumor was cancerous or benign. But the prognosis looks good as Nene's website temporarily had an update saying it was benign (it was later taken down) and doctors saying they got to it very early.I'm pretty sure that in the list of things men do NOT want to hear

I didn't see this until this morning, but Champ Bailey pretty much called out Philip Rivers taunting Monday night with a verbal bitch-slap.

In the spirit of the Christmas season, I want to try to refrain from being too negative about the state of the Broncos. So here it goes.....If we lose on Sunday, we will end up with a first round pick in the #8-10 range. That's a pretty good pick!By letting LaDainian Tomlinson run all over our defense, the Broncos helped me win my fantasy title!....... That's all I got to say about that.About

It's been a few weeks since we've posted an update here at Homers. Just some quick thoughts, and I'll have CU update up later.....- I'm still reeling from the revelation that one of the greatest pitchers in MLB history was using steroids. Sure, we all suspected guys like Bonds and Benito Santiago of getting a little help from the juice, but now we find out that Denny Neagle was using????

There are definitely some funny ones on there, and it is worth a browse.However, in my opinion, they left off the two greatest SportsCenter commercials ever created.
