Don't you also get the PSG/Barca game on FSN? If you don't get the overflow games-- isn't that your cable providers fault for not providing them? I get them on DirecTV.

Barca just scored a very Barca goal. Great 1-touch passing leading to Messi finishing it off.

What was the deal with the Simpsons opening? It was strange.

My favorite part of the episode was the 90s sitcom. It is surprising that Kate McKinnon was barely on since she was one of the breakout cast members from last season.

Yes, there is a definite decline in their defending... But there defense has not been good the last 3 years or so. Let's not pretend that they were world beaters back there.

You are assuming that the SEC West champion wins in Atlanta. They will likely get 2 if Alabama is undefeated and Auburn or Texas A&M's only loss is to Bama. Here's a scenario that I thought of yesterday: Bama goes into Atlanta undefeated to face 2-loss Georgia who is ranked around #15. Georgia wins the game. Who gets picked for the CFP? Both? Neither? Bama over the SEC winner?

I'll tell you who doesn't want the 9-game SEC schedule: the better SEC East teams. I'm pretty sure they don't want to add a 3rd team from the West back on their schedule.

Luis Alberto was so close to scoring off of a free kick vs Barca. That would have been a huge moment for him.

The main event doesn't interest me too much, but I like the card as a whole. A bunch of interesting fights and even the FS1 card looks worth watching.

I'm not watching that game (I'm watching the Swansea/Southampton game), but they probably aren't going to change their tune based on the evidence of one game. Also, why do you get angry at things that the media say?

Well aren't you a proud poppa?

If he doesn't change before he gets to the NFL, then he is Ryan Leaf.

I get that he's not going to get the message that he needs to grow up by keeping him out of half of a game, but do you think there is any length suspension that will drill the message into his brain? You could suspend him for 4 games and he still won't get it. In the end, the punishment has to fit the crime.

I think FSU got it right. These were offensive words spoken in public by the most recognizable representative of the university. I think if they suspended him for the entire game it would have been too much because it was just words.

I've been watching movies from the 80s recently, and in terms of Scorsese movies, I enjoyed The King of Comedy more than Raging Bull. Maybe it because Rupert Pupkin is more relatable than Jake LaMotta.

A couple of years ago, I read The Twenty-Year Death by Ariel Winter. The novel is really 3 separate, but connected books. I don't remember a lot about it, but I did enjoy it. It is one of the new titles from the series.

I think also that Virginia Tech got more votes than East Carolina this week in the AP poll.

I read Wool last year and loved it. Haven't continued with the rest of the Silo series, though. It's one of the best examples of dystopian fiction. Is it just as good after Book 5?

I don't get Reggie Watts. He's talented, but I don't laugh when I watch him. Am I alone?

So Che is returning from The Daily Show?

That was one of the most vicious hits I've seen on a QB for a while. And he just bounced up from it. Dude is tough.

Decent comparison but I think most observers saw the USC/Stanford game for what it was - Stanford essentially defeating themselves. They moved the ball all over the place and then gagged. It's not like USC dominated or even looked like the better team. I agree. And with that said, they still rank them #9 in the country. If they can get by Arizona St, they have 2 months to inch up the rankings before the UCLA and Notre Dame games. Many people aren't in love with those teams either. They could be in the top 5 by then.

My main question about the Amazon commercial is: do the 2 women know the kids or did they just randomly start talking to a pair of 9-year olds in a coffee shop?

Speaking of USC, is this year's USC-- last year's Miami? They both beat a highly-ranked team early in the season (Stanford/Florida) in a game they shouldn't have won. Florida losing by continually turning the ball over and Stanford by their inability to put points on the board when they are in scoring position. Combine the big win with a pretty winnable schedule which over-rates them before the big showdown games late in the season where they get exposed.

Yes, they are going to force you to watch WNBA games.
