For openers, UFL offers no major glitches

If his son wasn’t a member of the California Redwoods, I might have thought Denzel Washington attended the United Football League’s inaugural game Thursday night to scout talent for a new movie.

Smatresk won’t silently stand by

I have met UNLV president Neal Smatresk once. I have spoken to him twice. I know he ran track and swam in high school. I know he has a daughter who played soccer and a son who played baseball. I know his wife enjoys watching volleyball.

If Sanford can’t get team back, UNLV must fire him

Mike Sanford has to be coaching for his job on a weekly basis now. If he’s not, it will be because his superiors at UNLV have forgotten the most significant rule: the program comes first.

Martin, 50, merits marvel status

So now we know. Mark Martin lives in Daytona Beach, Fla., an hour’s drive up Interstate 95 to reach the coastal town of St. Augustine, where about 12,000 people reside and you can find more than 20 species of crocodile at the local zoo.

A noble, refreshing offer from Oregon’s Kelly

It’s a good thing Chip Kelly doesn’t manage the Chicago Cubs. Or coach the Detroit Lions. Or produce movies starring Rob Schneider.

UNLV road win must come this week

UNLV’s football team hasn’t won a Mountain West Conference road game in four years under Mike Sanford. None. Zilch. Zero.

Sideshow doesn’t distract Floyd Jr.

Every now and then, you expect some director to sprint from behind a punching bag and scream, “Cut!”
