The Back Nine comes at you after a birthday celebration for my incredible wife Karen, who turned 29 again on Sunday with a birthday brunch at Spurrier’s and a visit to The Salty Dog. Where would I be without her? Don’t answer that.   10. So, my policy as the …

The Back Nine comes at you after my favorite weekend of the year, the one when we turn to Daylight Savings. Oh, and congrats to Jamie Lee Curtis. Any friend of Cristopher Guest’s is a friend of mine.     10. When my co-host Jeff Cardozo said on the air …

The way I see it, the SEC is now on the clock. The whole Texas-Oklahoma thing has finally been settled and we can’t wait to see what the 2024 schedule looks like. Those two schools paid $100 million to leave the Big 12 early and it’s almost like we want …
