Let's be honest, I did. Watching another SEC team drag its one-loss ass into a title game ahead of seven other one-loss teams is proof that calling this a "national championship" game is an insult to nations and champions.

By what yardstick is opposing or identifying racism measured as the dominion of an exclusively "left wing agenda?"

Strong play, calling Ley jealous of the title "Honorary Brother." Is this anything like being named "Hep Cat Emeritus?"

"This isn't an issue about child molestation. This is an issue about my and those kids' relationship where I've taken stuff too far," and, "I can be accountable for my actions, and my actions were coming from a place of love."
