  1. I was in OKC yesterday listening to a local radio station and Dari Nowkhah had Benjamin Watson on as a guest.

    Dari asked Watson what he thought of BB’s debut and he said “he got exactly what he deserved.” He went on to say BB always said the team came first in NE and there were to be absolutely no distractions. “The Patriot Way”

    After the break and Watson left, Dari went on to say that Watson has shown him group texts from former Patriot players before the season started saying things like, “Can you believe this shit?!”

    Dari said Watson is the nicest guy in the world and for him to use that language was shocking.

    For those that don’t know, Dari and Watson work together in the SEC studios in Charlotte so I have no reason not to believe him.

  2. Deion’s actual quotes from the post game last night when asked about the timeouts:

    “I think we got out of bounds a couple of times,” Sanders said. “We didn’t have to take them. That’s what transpired. We got out of bounds I think on both sidelines. That’s what happened. After the first, I think we got a good play and we caught the ball, I think, for nine yards. We had one yard to go, so if you get the first down, the clock stops. It don’t make sense to really use your timeout in that sense.”

    “We were just really trying to preserve them for when we needed them,” Sanders said. “I don’t want to go home with timeouts. They don’t do me no good. But you’ve got to be strategic, as well. Just burning timeouts just to burn them just so you guys won’t say nothing, that don’t make sense at all.”

  3. Ralphie VI never really embraced Colorado’s decades-long tradition of the live mascot running across the field at the start of football games and after four seasons, she is being replaced.
    On Tuesday, CU announced that Ralphie VI, nicknamed Ember, is retiring. In a press release, CU said, “Due to an indifference to running, typical of many mammals both four-legged and two-legged, it was determined that it was in Ember’s best interest, based on her disposition, to focus on relaxing strolls on the pasture, which is her favorite hobby.”
     
    “In the interim, the Buffaloes football team will take the field without the university’s beloved live mascot,” CU said in a release.
    Ralphie VI will now move into a “companion buffalo role,” per CU’s press release, and live with Ralphie V on their ranch.
    “Ember has been excellent in many aspects of her role as Ralphie, but she’s happiest relaxing on the ranch and we want to be respectful of her wishes,” said Taylor Stratton, director of the Ralphie Live Mascot Program. “She will continue to get the same top level of love and care that all of our Ralphies receive and will enjoy socializing with Ralphie V.”
     

    Are they going to retire her number?

  4. People who say there's "no score" when the score is 0-0 in a sports game.  Not sure why this mildly annoys me, but it does.    No, there *is* a score -- the score just happens to be 0-0.  Yeah, I understand that "no score" is considered shorthand for "there has been no scoring yet," but I still grit my teeth a little when I hear it.  Don't ask me why, because it truly is "trivial."  

    It’s much worse when people say the lower number of the score first.

    “We lost the game 31-34.”

    WTF?!

  5. Racers need to mix in some base runners this inning. I’d crowd the plate or try to lay down a bunt.

    Maybe get that Louisville coach to come give them a pep talk and Arkansas will start kicking the ball around.
