Your Sorce for Sports and The Galaxy Sports Network present our weekly Notes on a press box flip card .....I for one am a huge Brady Hoke fan...So yesterday when mighty Michigan decided to as interim AD Jim Hackett called it ....relieve him of his head coaching responsibilities...I was not surprised in Michigans decision...Trivia question ...or two #1....How many National Championships did the great Glenn ( Bo ) Schembechler win in his 20 year reign @ Michigan.....?...None...Since 1949..the once mighty Wolverines have 1 football championship....Lloyd Carrs in 1997....Point I am making is this.... If Brady Hoke is such a great role model who exspouses all these wonderful virtues like sportsmanship .....honor ....tremendous values... a 90% graduation rate....A real Michigan man as the interim AD put it....Then why fire him after 4 years ?....And really who are they going to replace him with.....Les Miles ....Jim Harbaugh....Greg Schiano....If you were a major college Head coach wouldnt you want to know who your AD was going to be....?.They blew Rich Rodriguez out for Hoke and Rich Rod has totally turned around a once lowly Arizona team into a great team and an appearance in the Pac -12 championship game against #2 Oregon....Point I am trying to convey is this..... Michigans President Mark Schlissel and interim AD Jim Hackett are gonna find out soon enough that nobody any better than Brady Hoke really wants a job where the expectations far out weigh the reality of their current position in College footballs heirarchy...I commend both the players and the staff for a fine performance against a far superior Ohio St Buckeye team last Saturday in Columbus, Ohio.... Else where in Sports....I see the one time greatest golfer in the world has signed a new fore year deal with a motorcycle company .....Rickie Fowler I could see ....But Tiger has never even been on a motorcycle...Hero Motorcorp is Indias largest motorcycle maker and is planning on entering both the American and European marketplaces next year....The 14 time major champion now 38 years old and signed a 4 year endorsement deal ....agent Mark Steinberg or Woods wanted to discuss the financial terms of the deal ....By the way Tiger looked great on the fire engine red motorcycle @ the photo shoot....The New York Jets are expressing a desire to draft Heisman trophy candidate and All-American QB Marcus Mariota of the Oregon Ducks....I guess after 12 futile performances put in by both Mike Vick and Geno Smith ..Mariota must seem like the second coming of Joe Namath..... Speaking of the # 2ranked Oregon Ducks...How can the oddsmakers in Las Vegas see them as a 14 point favorite @ a neutral site in the upcoming Pac-12 Championship game this Friday night in San Jose, Ca,....Arizona beat them convincingly on their home artificial surface in Autzen Stadium just 5 weeks ago ...Now they are playing on a recently sodded slower grass field inundated with 7-9 inches of rain over the last week....Hmmmm....Maybe I am missing something..? My experts are all puzzled at this....And can these two excellent defenses be any more than miffed @ the 73.5 over/under...?.. 49ers Head coach Jim Harbaugh being linked to either the Jets or the Raiders....rumor has it he and GM Trent Balke are back to the battling Bickerstaff stage in their relationship...Look for Jim to stay in the Bay area and be the new Just win baby savior for Mark Davis and the Raiduhs....The real reason Harbaughs wife loves the Bay Area lifestyle ...Smart man ..Happy Wife equals Happy Life.... ! .....Rough football season in New York....Giants 3-9 ....Jets..2-10 ...The Giants now have 18 players currently on the season ending Injured Reserve and that tops the NFL...as for the Jets they are still in search of that franchise QB and the next Weeb Eubank....Paging Mr. Woody Johnson...open up those Johnson & Johnson saddlebags of cash.... hire Jim Harbaugh and jettison Hurricane Rex and GM John Idzik out to sea....I really think this new wave of ex college coaches like Pete Carroll ....Jim Harbaugh and especially Phillys Chip Kelly are changing the way Pro football and the NFL are now being played...From personalized energy shakes designed and individually engineered for peak performance to full speed rapid style practices....Eardrum slicing music blaring during weight training....These guys are proving to the rest of the NFL that it not only works .... As George Allen once uttered the future is now.....Intensity...Nutrition....Can do positivism....I see a direct correlation between up tempo and victories ...All 3 of these guys create a us against the world mentality and it seems to foster great team chemistry and a all for one team first spirit....Cleveland still has a great chance but please let Brian Hoyer lead the Browns ....Johnny Football Manziel is gonna be great someday, just not today or this Sunday...It is not broke so Coach Pettin dont fix it ..stay the course with the veteran Hoyer @ QB ...The AFC North leading Bengals finish this season with 2 games against their rivals.... the hated native of Ohio led Ben Roethlisbergers Steelers and then have a Monday night date with the Broncos in Denver....plus the Browns have the Bengals @ home on December 14th......A lot of you get mad @ me for always ragging on the not so great NFC South so .....Atlanta is the best home Dome team in football ...followed by New Orleans......As for the Panthers uhh...I like their Boston College bred middle linebacker....and their uniforms ....Whoever that is in Cam Newtons body can leave anytime now.....And just who was responsible for tearing apart last years 12 - 4 teams receiving corp .....Looks like it may cost Ron Rivera his job.....Coach of the year... to out of a job......the NFL..... Not for long...Penthouse to outhouse ....same guy....That my friends will wrap it up for December 2nd 2014 in the wonderful wacky world of sports.....Remember the best of the best cant miss sports on weekend TV is coming this Friday.....and our favorite Guido the Wrench has 3 cant miss picks to click this weekend ....So until then stay warm and keep your powder dry....!...For Galaxy Sports this is Art your Sorce for Sports saying sayonnara for now.....
