More news on Tennessee’s former head coach:

Lane Kiffin Leaves USC For Dream Job At GameStop | Onion Sports

… Lane Kiffin told reporters that he would be leaving the school indefinitely to pursue his dream of working at GameStop. “I was approached by a cousin who works at the GameStop on Wilshire Boulevard, and when he said there was an open sales clerk position, I had to take it,” said Kiffin, who then proudly placed a GameStop baseball cap on his head…

I think that might actually be a good fit for him…

I can’t prove it, but I really think this guy may be Tennessee Volunteers Assistant Football Coach Ed Orgeron’s long lost butt-kickin’ brother.

More to come this week as my little off-season remodeling project finally nears its end.

Since I’ve been so bad at posting lately—largely due to the lack of things to write about—I thought I’d pass along this little gem I found over at the FAIL Blog:

How ... thoughtful

Nice timing, mister hockey-fan-who-is-obviously-not-watching-the-game-but-wasting-time-on-juvenile-humor guy, you are a WINN-ARH!

In other news, the Carolina Hurricanes gave the New Jersey Devils the back of their hand, by scoring two (which in hockey is a veritable scoring orgy) goals in the last 1:21 of Game Seven of the First Round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Say Goodnight, Gracie...

To all you fans of the Boston Bruins, the Hurricanes are coming.  Their symbol is a storm that wreaks havoc and destruction.  Their leader (Rod Brind’Amour) is a near-40 year-old gamer who has had his nose broken 143,601 times and eats hand grenades for breakfast.  Their mascot is a pig on ice skates.

All you have is a “Bruin” (whatever that is).  You have been warned.

Yeah, yeah, I know this is a site dedicated primarily to the Tennessee Volunteers and the SEC, but I gotta support my local team … and their pig.  Besides, what else is there to watch, baseball?

But seriously, this “off-season” thing is a killer…

Keeping in the swing of things earlier this week — and offering up a little more voice-over action — here is another edition of the Blazer Chronicles, this time presenting the battle of Eric Berry vs. Tim Tebow.  As always, this comes courtesy of VolzRChamps and BlazerChronicles.com.

Even if I haven’t had time to write anything worth reading, at least I can fall back on my favorite pastime: low-brow sight gags.

Coach Kiffin’s first rule: Always have a plan…

Works for me!

Fortunately, it has been a slow sports news week for the Vols, and I hope to be back up to speed soon.

– Go Figure …

No, I haven’t forgotten that I have a blog, simply running a bit behind these past few days. Hopefully, I’ll have something reasonably intelligent interesting funny … that is longer than 2 sentences in the next little while.

In the meantime, enjoy this little video of the Southern State Turducken’s mascot, who really knows how to … er … shake it:

Man, I bet his Mom’s is proud…
