@TJCarpenterShow – tj@hogsportsradio.com – War Memorial thinks expansion talk will help them keep Arkansas interested in playing games there beyond the existing contract. They are mistaken. Josh Hamilton has a relapse. Manning may end up in Washington or Miami. Jim Delany all of a sudden wants a playoff. What are your favorite fake sports moments?
Arkansas has had a tumultuous past few days as Offensive Coordinator Garrick McGee took the head coaching job at UAB, John L Smith took the head coaching position at Weber State, and today defensive coordinator Willy Robinson resigned. McGee has been replaced by former Arkansas offensive coordinator Paul Petrino, but the other two positions remain unfilled. With any successful program there is turnover. Everyone wants a piece of what makes YOU great as a program. But the monster must be fed. Fans expect wins. Today I ask the question, what’s next Bobby? We also talk about the insanity of trading a first ballot hall of fame quarterback for an unproven draft pick… I’m looking at you Indianapolis. Also, will a new Big 3 be formed in LA as Dwight Howard and Chris Paul mull over their options in trades and free agency. Hey, I’d want to play with Kobe. Robbie Neiswanger of the Arkansas news Bureau breaks down Paul Petrino’s impact on the Razorbacks. John Pennington of MrSEC.com gives you his Heisman ballot. John Engleman of KFSM Channel 5 breaks the news of Willy Robinson’s departure. Kurt Helin of NBC Sports talks about LeBron’s pursuit of a title and the subtleties of the Lakers ploy for a remade dynasty.

On today’s show we talk about how much Ryan Mallett’s character actually matters. If you are an NFL GM, you have to ask two things before you get to character in my opinion. Do his teammates and coaches respect him? How much success did he have in college and can he duplicate it in the NFL? Does character matter if the answer to both of those questions is yes? Will this coming season be a year in which Arkansas can only progress or digress? There is no plateau possibility next season. How would you view and identical season to last year? two BCS losses? Is LA better when Kobe Bryant isn’t? Kobe got 11 last night and they won by 9, he shoots 50% and goes off in game one and they lose. Just saying. What is Peyton Manning’s value as a football player and what would his value be in an uncapped year with no franchise tag? And what does his value as a player say about how absurd the NFL owners’ argument is in labor negotiations? We talk with Chris Bahn, of Arkansas Sports 360 about expectations for next season and off season predictions.
