If you're a Texas A&M "VIP" ...

... you paid $1,200 a year to your favorite team's head football coach, Dennis Franchione, to get a newsletter with inside information before games, including details that were not shared with the press or any outsiders. Confidential items like who is really injured and weekly player performance assessments were included.

Of course, I'm sure this information was only used for the further enjoyment of the games. I'm sure that these boosters are all God-fearing men who don't gamble, right?

"Franchione made subscribers sign a confidentiality agreement and said he doesn't believe any of the inside information was used for gambling."

Whew! Well, that takes care of that problem.

And what did he do with that money? Well, he needed it to run his personal website. I mean, let me tell you from experience, running a website is expensive. You should see what we have to do keep this bad boy afloat. And the poor guy only makes $2 million a year.

And you know he had to hire a top firm, like Seriously Clued Consulting, to design the website to compete with firedennisfranchione.com.

And I doubt that the same compnay that brought the world kittyspankworthy.com comes cheap.

In January 2003, a group of sports-loving friends launched The Sports Frog. In the time since, we have become an oasis for intelligent sports discussion on the Web. That's right, we said oasis. If you are here for the first time be sure to swing by The Swamp and join the conversation.
