The only game this week featuring two .500+ games is on Monday night (CHI @ GRB). This week is going to suck. Also...

Please no ongoing show comments. k thx

The gentleman on the right is training to be a pro wrestler. His name is David Benoit. Yes, THAT Benoit.

BCS Week 2! 1. Yup (.9937) 2. Oregon (.9517) 3. FSU (.9211) 4. tOSU (.8840) 5. Stanford (.7918) 6. Mia... Oh god damn it.. Baylor (.7645) 7. Miami (.7560) 8. Clemson (.6687) 9. The Zoo (.6096) 10. Oklahoma (.6064) Repeated rape and covering up said rape is worth $59.7 million in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. And on the field... FSU/Miami, which for the first time in like a decade actually matters.

The problem is the moment you pay one player in one sport a 'salary' of any kind you deal with all of the following (and probably a ton more I can't think of off hand) 1) Competitive imbalance when one college offers a higher salary than another can afford 2) Should there be salary caps? 3) The larger question of what the purpose of college is and why some students get paid and not others 4) Labor relations. Are the players contracted 'freelancers' or are they 'employees' of the university (and thus eligible for all benefits thereto) 5) Labor relations. Can these paid players now organize to form a union? 6) What are the pay scales? Does everyone get the same salary? Do some get more? 7) Jealousy. Some kid at Northern Idaho State who makes $100 a game plays Texas Tech and gets a free lick at Johnny Manziel who's making $2500 a game. ..And then he "accidentally" spears his knee, 8) How should payment work? Should it be a revenue sharing structure or just a flat salary? 9) What sports get their athletes paid? Trick question, the answer is "Title IX". I'm not saying that the players don't deserve a cut of the pie, but the answer "Just pay them" grossly oversimplifies what is a very difficult and tedious question. I sincerely doubt college athletes will be getting any kind of pay/stipend/revenue sharing within at least the next 25 years. Certainly not without the courts getting invoved -- before and after.

Dolphins WR Brandon Gibson is out for the year per the Miami Herald.

Can the champs three-peat? Can Derrick Rose truly be back? Who can take down the Spurs in the West? Is three-peat a word? It's time for a new NBA season. Are you ready?

As I said on Facebook, I think I saw 7 "Sexy 1920's Flapper girls" in the last 48 hours. 6 female, 1 male.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I am drunk. And I do not like a lot of you. Fuck football.

Why not just give them a touchdown. I mean really, illegal touching should be a 6 point foul. Fucking fucking fuck.

Okay look. Yes, this comes from Bray Wyatt's facebook page. But it could very easily have come from one of a NSFW Tumblr.

And 10 years ago today.... 2:18:30 for the final out. :-)

27 years ago today...

This guy should apply to be Captain America. God damn it, this room is dusty.

Hey awesome.... The Miami Marlins are under Federal investigation for improper use of interns. From the article, emphasis is mine: http://www.local10.com/sports/report-marlins-under-federal-investigation/-/1717082/22618110/-/ptnr3v/-/index.html

The new college bowl game that will be played in Marlins Park will be called the "Miami Beach Bowl". Miami Beach is about a half-hour drive away from Marlins Park. This name is stupid.

Captain America is easily the best of the pre-Avengers movies. And it's not even close.
