Officials Botch Blocked Punt In UTEP-KSU, Spend 12 Minutes Not Fixing
This is one of the more bizarre plays you'll see today. Kansas State blocked its second UTEP punt of the first quarter, only to see the entire play called back due to an inadvertent whistle. And it took 12 minutes—12 minutes!—for officials to realize and then verify that they screwed up....
Today's College Football Viewing Schedule
Recommended games are bolded, and today, those are few and far between. I feel like I've even been generous with my bolding.

Wayne Rooney Gets Dumbest Red Card Ever
Manchester United are taking on West Ham today, and after captain Rooney and striker Robin van Persie goals put United up two after just 22 minutes, West Ham pulled one back eight minutes before half.

Thom Yorke Did Not Bypass The Gatekeepers. He Is One.
As of this morning there is a new Thom Yorke solo album in the world, titled Tomorrow's Modern Boxes and available for $6 via BitTorrent. This is cool and good; I heartily recommend you stop using BitTorrent to illegally download pornography long enough to legally check it out, flush as it is wi...

The Sports Guy Vs. ESPN: How Bill Simmons Lost Bristol
It was, he would later tell a confidant, like something out of The Godfather.

Steve Smith Warned Of "Blood And Guts," And DeAngelo Williams Is Ready
The Ravens and Panthers play this Sunday, which means that Ravens receiver Steve Smith, who was released by the Panthers in the offseason, will be facing his old team for the first time.

Derek Jeter Went Out The Way He Deserved
I want you to just listen to the crowd as it watches the outcome of Derek Jeter's final at-bat at Yankee Stadium. It rises to pure white noise as the ball gets through the right side, sounding about as loud as a ballpark could possibly get. And then Antoan Richardson scores, and it gets louder....
