Spoilerized for size. Onion Sports gives the keys to the series. The Uehara one is fantastic.

The reigning, defending NBA Champions will raise their banner and wear these at their first home game:

Josh Freeman has been diagnosed with a concussion. Christian Ponder will start if (and more likely when) Freeman is ruled Out.

If you read the "How old are we" thread, you'd know that no one on this board is less than 30.

Brandon Jacobs got a death threat over twitter on Monday

The Hallmark Channel is counterprogramming Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl with a Kitten Bowl. It will be "called" by John Sterling. http://deadspin.com/john-sterling-will-call-the-kitten-bowl-1450098098 The Hallmark Channel and everyone associated with this decision should be set on fire.

Tim Reynolds ✔ @ByTimReynolds From what I've seen, Miami went to 7-0 today. 9:33 AM - 22 Oct 2013

Alright, look. How's about this. I think I've been given Mod on this. NEW RULE. Your picks are in by NOON on Sunday. I lock the thread then until MNF is over. Until then, we're done for now.

"Work with the NCAA"? What Miami did was pretty much the exact opposite of that. The NCAA fucked themselves over hard because they: a) believed a convicted felon who thought he was bigger than he was coerced, cajoled, and threatened witnesses c) bribed informants for information that was unreliable/unprovable/flat out bogus d) GOT CAUGHT DOING EVERYTHING ABOVE e) lied about doing everything above f) extended an investigation that should have been over in 9 months to 2+ years, hurting recruiting g) wrote a letter to the judge in Shapiro's case asking for a lighter sentence (or time served) so they could continue using him as an informant. Please explain how any of the above is false and/or worse than anything done by any player in a Miami uniform?

lol

Everyone's injured. Washington gets the honor of getting the American History X treatment by a furious Peyton. Aside from that... yuck, what a bad week for NFL games. I honestly think Miami @ New England might be the best match out there

Oh yeah, and this....

I'm surprised this didn't happen 10 minutes before the FSU game. 9 scholarships over the next 3 years. So it's not all bad. But still...

ESPN's now reporting that three sources have told them the players were cut for smoking pot, not cigars. Please see link in "Cigars".

Nerlens Noel is probably out for the season according to the 76ers head coach.

http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/University-of-Miami-Told-to-Expect-NCAA-Decision-AP-Source-228659271.html NCAA decision for The U tomorrow. Expect LOTS of gifs. Lots.

Houston released 3 rookies (Cierre Wood, Sam Montgomery, and Willie Jefferson) because they were caught in their KC hotel room smoking "cigars"

GOD DAMN IT, I SAID....

Bud Adams is out for the season. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000267395/article/tennessee-titans-owner-bud-adams-passes-away-at-90

Seems about right...

Confirmed by NFL.com. Mr. Wayne is done for the year.

What part of... do you not understand? Also, Doug Martin has a torn labrum.

Sam Bradford is probably done for the year. Early reports are a torn ACL.

[[EDIT - And then they fumbled]]
