• That popular strain of brain trauma-induced diseases seen among all the dead NFL players these days is catching on in the college ranks. If they're going to get paid like NFL players they might as well die like them too.
• Allen Iverson is considering a jump to China to once again shut Stephon Marbury the fuck up.
• Tate Forcier's family wants your budding star quarterback to have it better than Tate Forcier did.
