Thoughts From the Desk of TGIF Already

I think I'm ready for the weekend and a few ice cold $1 drafts at my favorite eatery. (You're welcome for the free advertisement, girls.)

Anybody find it amusing that Bobby Petrino is so terribly unequipped to handle media speculation he has to refer questions to his attorney? I do.

Interested in how each college football coach voted his final Top 25? USA Today’s got cha covered with this fancy link. And Thomas Neumann’s got a few things to say about it.

Starting Syracuse guard Eric Devendorf and Coach Jim Boeheim haven’t quite come to grasp with the centuries-old, well-settled rule that you can’t hit girls.

Imagine that! A former UK Wildcat accused of cheating. Unfortunately, looks like he could be facing a steeper penalty than a few years NCAA probation this time around.

Not sick of the media’s tireless infatuation with the Dallas Cowboys and the surrounding “drama?” Then you’re not watching enough SportsCenter.
