Why, yes. I am a festering pile of crap.

• Rory McIlroy ran away with the US Open title, giving hope to those searching for the next Tiger. Golf is unique in that it needs 1-2 dominant stars to be appealing to casual fans. I think it reeks of desperation to crown McIlroy as the savior of golf at this point, but we all know that’s never stopped the media before.
• Deadspin presents a fairly compelling argument as to why LeBron James is a @#$%sucker.
• Ohio State AD Gene Smith and NCAA Compliance Officer Doug Archie also received “courtesy” cars like Terrelle Pryor. This is shaping up to be a true litmus test for the NCAA. Do they do the “right” thing and drop the hammer down or do they do what they always do and follow the money? I’ll give you three gue$$e$ on what I think will happen and the first two don’t count.
• Auburn openly mocks the NCAA president in their revised contract for Gene Chizik. Since he’s a completely flaccid hypocrite (see his comments on Enes Kanter after his university also took a commitment from him), I universally approve of all mocking activities.
• The history of beer as told by a drunk. Pirates!
• Best acceptance speech ever.
