Welcome to the second edition of “Spanning the Dome.” I probably should have noted yesterday that the title for this series was inspired by Collin Cowherd’s “Spanning the Globe” which he does on his daily radio show. Like him or not, Cowherd is a huge Charlie Weis supporter and for that I respect him. Now onto to day’s link…
- Charlie Weis’s malpractice suit against the doctors who performed his gastric bypass surgery began today. Weis’s lawyer stated Charlie bled for 30 hours. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
- Some Browns fans are just dumb… and then some are even dumber. I find it funny that the fans of a franchise who’s first pick (the second time around), turned out to be a monumental bust (Tim Couch) wants them to draft a guy who just turned in one of the worst bowl performances in BCS history. And now, at quarterback for your Cleveland Browns… #10….
Shane “Footsteps” FalcoTroy Smith. - Speaking of Brady Quinn, apparently the Dolphins at 9th overall at interested in him. Cam Cameron will be getting one hell of a quarterback to build around in Miami if this is the case.
- Pat from Blue Gray Sky takes a look at the percentage of playing time from each position returning in 2007. Another really nice post by the guys over at Blue Gray Sky that shows just how much the Irish will have to replace.
- What if all of the Big 11 coaches were Southpark characters? Props to Jeff (JD) for sending me that link last night. The character for Lloyd Carr is priceless.
- This guy thinks Notre Dame and USC should start up a basketball rivalry. I wouldn’t mind seeing USC and ND hoop it up, but right now I don’t think I could handle USC beating ND in anything else.
- Good free article from Irish Eyes about the changes in recruiting Weis intends to make. A very good read, as always from Mike Frank.
- Pete Carroll declined comment on the opening with the San Diego Chargers. It is just a little coincidental that the Chargers waited until after National Signing Day to make this move… I’m not sayin… I’m just sayin…

Good stuff. No way Pete Carroll goes to the Chargers though. If he makes the jump back to the NFL, it’ll be w/ total control which means no GM. If you consider the fact that Schottenheimer was ousted b/c of bickering w/ the GM over who to choose for DC, then I would imagine that Pete will want to stay as far away as possible from the Lighting Bolts. Whoever snares that position will be walking into a gold mine next year.

Probably not in the cards, but it wouldn’t be an entirely bad move for Carroll. He would be leaving USC while on top and entering a coaching position with the Chargers where a shot at the Super Bowl is a real possibility. Plus, he could leave behind current allegations regarding Reggie Bush, and the recent Joe McKnight controversy. Who knows…..
