Lights Out at Monday Night Football: The Monday Night Football game in San Francisco between the 49ers and the Pittsburgh Steelers has been delayed twice because of a power outage at Candlestick Park. A transformer explosion caused the first outage before the game. Another began at approximately 9:30 p.m. Eastern with the 49ers leading 6-0.

The Shame of College Sports: A litany of scandals in recent years have made the corruption of college sports constant front-page news. We profess outrage each time we learn that yet another student-athlete has been taking money under the table. But the real scandal is the very structure of college sports, wherein student-athletes generate billions of dollars for universities and private companies while earning nothing for themselves. Here, a leading civil-rights historian makes the case for paying college athletesand reveals how a spate of lawsuits working their way through the courts could destroy the NCAA.

So, at the theaters this weekend seeing The Great Gatsby, and saw this trailer for Rush. Can't wait for the movie itself.

The guy does sell tickets, get headlines, and generally make money for the NFL, which is why Roger Goodell would mostly care.

Having been around the TB area when the Bucs won the Super Bowl, I can say that there were only four guys you associated more with that team: Mike Alstott, John Lynch, Warren Sapp, and Mr. Derrick Brooks (and I always thought Alstott was overrated). Ronde was always the most quiet of any of those-or, perhaps better expressed, he was the one who you noticed the least. He wasn't the fastest guy in the world, but he had great instincts and was a sure tackler. He was a perfect guy for the Tampa-2 defense.
While I'm not sure he's going to make into the HOF (largely because he wasn't as visible or vocal as what CBs are expected to be in the post-Deion league), I'm quite confident that the Bucs will retire his number.
Godspeed, Ronde, and thanks for all the great plays.

My "so crazy it just might work" move for TimTebow would be he goes to SF to be the backup to Colin Kaepernick. That might be too much Jesus-lovin', meme-makin' quarterbacks for one team and cause the universe to implode.

The Redskins get a real Phillip Thomas this year.

"Many of us knew and we didn't care at all. We saw him as a player, not as a gay player."
Which is why I'm convinced a player coming out is going to be a huge distraction-the team won't care, but the media very much will, and will make a frenzy out of it not normally seen apart from the destructive harmonics created by Rex Ryan and Tim Tebow.

The discussion of this episode and the various elements of faux outrage on Sportscenter that I saw for about 10 minutes made my head hurt, so I gave up.

And of course, there is an appropriately snarky review.
