It won't bankrupt college sports. It also won't solve much. Does anyone think the star athletes are going to be satisfied with whatever amount they receive above-board? That there won't still be free cars, fake jobs, booster money and all the rest?

Yes, this is an EXACT comparison. Because with J.R. Smith it's only about untying a guy's shoes. Otherwise he's been a model citizen and a fine representative of the NBA.

Microsoft bought its flight predictor by acquiring Farecast. Just sayin'.

I don't care how good a driver you THINK you are, if you get on Seattle's icy hills with no sand, salt or other treatment — which is the norm in a city with minimal snow equipment — you'll be in the exact same boat, guaranteed.
