Derek Redd: Some sports questions for you to ponder

Does anyone feel it's a bit hypocritical that a Nebraska assistant coach, whose team can light up a scoreboard like a pinball machine, complained that Kansas State ran up the score when the Wildcats beat the Huskers?

Is anyone surprised that Bill Romanowski's name supposedly has popped up on a list of people who tested positive for THG?

Has the fact that Ohio State (whose mascot should change from a buckeye to a lucky horseshoe) leapfrogged Southern Cal in the BCS standings now completely invalidate the BCS as a barometer of who should play for the national championship?

Is the BCS any better than the Florida High School Athletic Association's playoff system, which put 3-7 Fort Lauderdale- Dillard in the postseason and kept 8-2 Dunbar out of it?

Can the Philadelphia Eagles fans finally stop booing now that their team has won five straight?

Can they stop booing long enough to read that last sentence?

You think anyone will be able to say "your AFC North-leading Cincinnati Bengals" with a straight face?

You think Redskins owner Dan Snyder is wishing he kept Stephen Davis and got rid of Steve Spurrier?

During the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' three-game losing streak, has anyone else had flashbacks of Creamsicle uniforms and Buccaneer Bruce clenching a dagger between his teeth?

And when Keyshawn Johnson told reporters to talk to him when they have seven losses, did he ever think that might be next week?

Is Chris Rix balled up in a fetal position and crying in the corner of the Florida State locker room now that Craphonso Thorpe (and the hands that saved Rix's hind end from being permanently attached to the bench) is now out for the season?

And can we give Ron Zook, whose Gators have won five straight and three against top-11 teams, a break for just one week?

Is there anything better than standing on the Tiburn Gold golf course on a breezy Florida autumn morning?

Might that "anything" be the ability to keep one's score on that course under 200 -- on the front nine?

Could an Immokalee girls basketball game be more entertaining than 85 percent of the NBA games I'll see on my television this season?

Are the Lakers just going to waltz to the NBA title or will everything in Kobe World be just enough to upset the delicate balance at work in Los Angeles?

And when will Kobe learn the best thing for him to do right now is to just keep his trap shut and just play basketball?

Is there anything more miserable than watching Stan Van Gundy coach the Land of Misfit Toys (also known as the Miami Heat) to mediocrity?

Have you watched a Bucs game lately?
