Colt McCoy, Sam Bradford and The Exhalted One will be in New York City this weekend to eat fancy steaks, take one of those lame bus tours, and try hard not to mention the name "O.J. Simpson."

Sonya Curry Back On American Radars
I don't understand the Sonya Curry phenomenon. (Actually, I didn't even know there was one, but apparently it's tearing up the charts.)

It's Oklahoma and Florida for the BCS Title—an imperfect end to a season when no football team was perfect. Except, you know, Utah and Boise State. But they don't really count.
