I am listening to my favorite espn talking head (the only one i listen to). Colin spent a nice chunk of his tuesday show talking about how Johnny is a stupid child that gets away with everything and how people should stop making excuses for him. How guys like Tebow, Braxton, Barkley, Murray, etc manage to not be fools. How he won the NCAA wheel of destiny game. the ncaa ruled so quickly for atm, but has had Miami in the dark for years. Then proceeded about how the SEC is on their way down and how saban needs to stop whining about the no huddle spread offense. There is still hope.

SI's Rosenberg on ND-scUM rivalry and ESPiN stupidity:

Bayless and May were talking (on different shows) about the historical significance of the Michigan-Notre Dame rivalry, which is going on hiatus after next year's game. Fighting Irish coach Brian Kelly said he didn't see Michigan as one of Notre Dame's "historic, traditional rivalries," and Bayless and May were incredulous.

Bayless said: "I just about fell out of my chair."

May said: "Growing up in upstate New York, I used to watch it when I was growing up, when it was on television."

Bayless said: "I grew up, I couldn't WAIT for Michigan-Notre Dame, going back to Bubba Smith."

That must have been an awkward wait, in part because Smith played for Michigan State, not Michigan. Smith was one of the best and most important players in Michigan State history, and he played in some of the great games in the history of the sport. This is a pretty big error, the equivalent to referring to Texas quarterback Johnny Manziel or UCLA legend O.J. Simpson. But hey, those kinds of mistakes happen. They shouldn't, but they do. I don't expect my TV analysts to be perfect.

The egregious mistake that May and Bayless made was this: They remember games that didn't happen. When Bayless and May were kids, Michigan and Notre Dame never played. Never. Nev-ah. As my friend Taylor Swift says, "like, ever." Between 1943 and 1977, the Wolverines and Fighting Irish didn't play at all.

How long until ESPiN renames the Heisman to something like the "SEC-ESPN Heisman Trophy" and have their experts like Bayliss and May vote on it? Good news? Tim Tebow would win it at least every other year.......

It looks like ESPN is behind all those ‘How do you stop Clowney?’ signs down in Athens

How do you stop South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney? It's a question that many Georgia fans have undoubtedly asked themselves in advance of Saturday's game against South Carolina in Athens, Ga.
It's also what the bulletin board out front at the First Presbyterian Church in Athens asked on Tuesday afternoon. A picture of the board was posted to Reddit and it quickly went viral as college football fans lapped up the meeting of two different types of religion in the South.

The organic and divine nature of this sign, however, may not be what it seems. When Dr. Saturday called the church to confirm the veracity of the message, we were told the saying was part of a promotional campaign for GameDay, ESPN's traveling college football pregame show.


That's right. The message appears to be nothing more than some planted promotion for GameDay, which will be in Athens on Saturday morning. See the listed 4:30 p.m. time on the sign? First Presbyterian told us they don't have a Saturday service scheduled for that time. The game is scheduled to start at 4:30 local time on Saturday and ESPN requested the church include the time in the message. (An ESPN spokesperson confirmed that the sign was part of a feature for GameDay on Saturday.)


The message was already taken down as of Wednesday afternoon, but the First Presbyterian Church was not the only building in town asking the same question on its signage. The Georgia Theater posed the same question as well. (We have an email in to the Georgia Theater asking how long their sign was up and whether they were moved to action by ESPN.)
