BCS race becoming a small bit clearer.

Oops: "Missouri was kicked the ball at the start of the first and second half of Saturday's game against Nebraska. The reason was a blunder by a Nebraska team captain who won the coin toss and told the referees the Cornhuskers wanted to kick off instead of deferring the choice to the second half." Also on Reddit.

Cowboys fans started chanting this in the third quarter of today's loss to the Jaguars: "Let's go Rangers!"

The stat sheet says Kitna threw 4 interceptions, but that's not really really fair to him. Three of those went through/off his receivers' hands.

I'll give you the first two, but the third was a terrible pass that got intercepted because Roy Williams tried to reach behind himself and snag it. That one should be on Kitna.

Why did Fox feel the need to turn "God Bless America" into a commercial for the Bushes?

Also, after that wretched arrangement of the song by the Four Troops, I hope they were deployed.

That was awful.

Again, awful.
