Every Day Should Be Saturday points out that ESPN is launching a new daily college football show next season, and it has the oh-so-desirable timeslot of 3:30 in the afternoon, which, while preferable to "Rome Is Burning," is still indicative of ESPN thinking, as they put it, "assuming you're on the ...

We're So Sorry, Uncle Albert
Look, we're still a little unclear on why the University of Florida's mascot statue, Albert the Alligator, was placed on the Ohio State campus recently (some kind of a Nike promotion or something).
