-Well, I was almost perfect last week which is pretty damn good for picking games in the first week of the season and if it weren't for a punt and/or kick return TD by Alabama, I might have finished with no losses, but I won't complain...much.

-There is one other thing I want to get off of my chest.  I'm getting really tired of ESPN's influence on the sports world as a whole.  They obviously have an agenda and because they are the most watched sports network in the world, they push that agenda on their viewers.  Let's take a look at those agendas shall we:

• NCAA - The SEC is the only conference in college football and if you don't pull for one of those teams, you are stupid.  On their website's front page on Saturday night, their top story was that LSU won and not that Clemson beat one of their precious Top 5 SEC teams.
• NFL - I'll be honest, this is the only sport that they cover that they don't seem to push one team on you, however, according to ESPN, Tim Tebow is the greatest player to ever live.  I'm so happy he got cut this week.
• MLB - Only the Yankees and Red Sox are worth your time.
• NBA - LeBron and the Lakers, that's it.
• Golf - If Tiger or Phil didn't win that weekend, golf takes a backseat to every other sport.  They even showed NFL preseason highlights before PGA Championship highlights this year.  And for god's sake, will they please stop hyping Rory McIlroy, that guy sucks.
• All other sports are stupid and scandals trump all.

The Funniest Sign From Last Week's College GameDay

(I couldn't find a picture of my favorite sign, it said "Lou Holtz for Prethident".  So funny.  The other one I found really funny was one that said "I'm Tied with Clowney in Sacks This Season".)

-Alright, enjoy the second week of college football.
