Ty Willingham will also sell you garlic fries

willingham-stanfordThis is what it’s come to for former Stanford coach Ty Willingham. After four terrible years at Washington, Willingham will coach for the San Francisco team in the UFL, the new league tabbed for failure by us and everybody. Oh, and if you guessed “running backs and special teams” as his position, you win. Even Willingham’s old boss (SF coach Denny Green) doesn’t trust him with the keys any more. Dr. Saturday

  • Crabtree has his Texas Tech rap, and now Hey-Bey has his Raiders rap.

And we felt so bad about posting this video earlier, we thought we’d post something more uplifting. If you haven’t seen this video yet from a recent Carmel High School baseball game, it’s sure to warm your heart cockles. The story behind it is here. Will Rudolph, the team’s manager who has a form of cerebral palsy, fulfilled his dream of getting into a baseball game, and the opposing team spontaneously allowed him to score instead of throwing him out at home.
