Neil Young wants to know why Scorsese had to remove HIS giant lump of cocaine but Jordan Barncastle gets to keep hers.

@Tickenest: That works too. Variation on the same theme, really.

I would prefer that it remained sudden death, but with an "auction" for field position to begin overtime instead of a coin flip and kickoff. The referee and the two head coaches would meet; the referee would count "one, two, three ..." and as soon as a coach threw his challenge flag, his team would begin OT with the

@DirkToberFest: I always laughed when the announcer in EA Sports Fight Night said "Ali is looking shaky in there." Since I'm already going to hell for that, I figure I might as well laugh at this one too.

This is the most disappointing pronouncement by a Simon since St. Peter thrice denied Jesus.

The Canadian dollar hasn't closed higher than the US dollar since summer of 2008. "Newfies" is not a word you toss around in Canada unless you want a fat lip. And "Armsees" seems entirely made up — shouldn't it be Arsump?

Michel Petit looks like he's pinching one out in that SI cover shot.

Borges' VORP (value over replacement plagiarist) is an impressive +13.6.

I read Shirley's book a few years ago, because Simmons lied and said it was good. Basically I would describe his ideology as "hipsterism" — he'd probably tell you he's a Crypto-Anarcho-Proto-Syndicalist or something similarly incoherent but cool-sounding.

@Peter Nincompoop: The NCAA rules only allow you to play an "extra" game if you have 12 teams in your conference. So the "top two out of 11" idea would work only if everyone in the conference axed one nonconference game (since there's no way to know in advance which two teams would finish 1st and 2nd.)

@metalmaniac: One non-criticism of Tebow that jumped out at me was early in the game, when Tebow threw that jump ball that was very nearly intercepted. Danielson: "Tebow had no choice but to throw that ball away." Although if "forcing it into coverage when you've got nothing" is tantamount to "throwing it away" in

I thought it was a little strange when Lundquist described a little swing pass to Mark Ingram like this: "LINE DRIVE BASE HIT! Caught out there! The throw is up the line ... on time for a double play! Ingram evens the ledger!"

Was hoping the clip of Nolan Ryan pwning Brad the Animal Lesley and then making the Lesley "beast" gesture would be on teh youtubes, but to no avail. #collegesoccer
