Cotto-Trout: The Sentimental Narrative Gets Its Lip Busted

Dallas 38, Philadelphia 33: Peering down from the suite at the top of his shiny monument to excess, billionaire oil plutocrat Jerry Jones, insensitive to the fact that he might be on national television at that very moment, scratched his nuts, probably, or adjusted himself in some way.

The Suns Will Give You Your Money Back If You Don't Have "Fun" And The Bobcats Will Give You Tickets For The Next Game If You Stay To The End Of This One

Neither the Bobcats nor the Suns are particularly woebegone NBA teams in strictly basketball terms—the Bobcats are enjoying perhaps their best start ever, sitting pretty at 7-8 having already equaled their win total from last season, while the Suns are a scrappy 7-10 with a rebuilding roster.
