SportsFilter: The Thursday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.

Farley's Bocephus (Hank Williams Jr.) sketch. Poor quality, but it's hard to find this one.
Listen, man.. I sing music for working people. I know it ain't the most sophisticated stuff in the world, but.. it comes from the heart.
Lay off Bocephus, folks.

Thankfully, the Hank Williams song is gone from MNF for good. We should also be grateful that ESPN infringed on Williams's free speech rights*.
* I know, I know, but I think it is funny that so few people understand the Bill of Rights..
