As if our timing in life couldn't get any worse, now we have networks desperate for ratings thinking it is a good idea to interview Trayvon Martin's murderer. I mean, my goodness gracious, who thought that was a shrewd decision? Who thought this was a beacon of firm sagacity?

Until today. Right now, and edited later, the Red River Rivalry is going on with Oklahoma in front early. The key to this game is how much pressure will Texas defense give the amazingly accurate Sam Bradford today. And so far, it seems like they haven't been able to rattle him thus far. Of course, the other big matchup is located, once again, in the semi-NFL division that is the SEC, as Florida looks for revenge against National Champ LSU in a game where the emotions are already flowing, thanks to Ricky Jean-Francois' stupid comments on taking Tim Tebow out. Funny enough, the talkie is out himself : LSU defensive lineman Ricky Jean-Francois, who earlier this week boasted of his teammates...
