News Flash: Dick Vitale Doesn't Know Football: At one point during Vitale's "stock up, stock down" segment, he said the Indianapolis' Colts' stock is down because Rodney Harrison admitted to using human growth hormone, apparently not knowing that Harrison plays for the New England Patriots.
NCAA Football:
The Debriefing: An Incredible Weekend of College Football ... for Almost Everyone: Saturday brought out a brand of passion that just can't be manufactured by Roger Goodell and his boys. It's a more innocent, pure, and youthful exuberance that you're not going to find in a stadium full of people who have purchased personal seat licenses and get mad when they have to stand up.
Appalachian State Video From the Michigan Stands: 'We Just Beat Michigan!' I still can't wrap my mind around what happened. And I can't stop watching this:
Michigan Loss Gives Endless Mileage to SEC 'Woofing': Last year's losses weren't enough to get the message across to voters. This time, I think they've learned. This time, I think you can count on Michigan having a long and tough road to climb to regain their credibility.

If NFL Players Try UFC, 'It's Going to Be Ugly': While I don't think other NFL players would be quite as pathetic as Morton was, I do think White is basically right: The sports are totally different, and there's no more reason to believe an NFL player would stand a chance in the UFC than there is to believe Chuck Liddell could play in the NFL.
Art Schlichter to Michael Vick: Don't Expect Special Treatment in Prison: Given the company Vick has decided to keep throughout his life, you can bet he's already heard this speech. However, if there is another person qualified to give his advice, it would certainly be Schlichter.
MLB:
David Ortiz Raps! Ortiz has now added reggaeton star to his resume. Check out this video of Big Papi rocking the mic like he's Gza's next rhyming hero, compliments of You Been Blinded.
Drunk Fans Fighting, Up Close and Personal: As you'd expect when drunken louts throw down, occasional curse words can be heard. Nothing too offensive, but your virgin ears have been warned.
