The cornerback responsible for covering Calvin “Megatron” Johnson gets a call from the voice of Optimus Prime, Peter Cullen. Amazing.

Even a Clemson fan like me hates seeing something like this.

The was a Fun Second Quarter
The Tigers did not have to stress too much in this one. Now it’s time to get ready for the big matchup v. Duke next Saturday night.

Clemson is not Populated with Obama Fans
I understand why President Barker had to issue this apology, however, I also admit I did giggle at the whole situation.
What a horrible game. The Patriots look just terrible on defense.

The Arguments for John Farrell
Some potential reasons why the Red Sox selected John Farrell. I like the idea that Mike Aviles is being sent to Toronto to start telling other players how awesome it is to play in Boston.

Looking at the Red Sox Shortstop Options
I have my fingers crossed that Jose Iglesias can get his hitting up to a manageable level, mostly so I can watch him play defense. He really is a witch with the glove.

Tigers Sleepwalk to Victory
The headline says it all. Of course, I guess I should be happy that Clemson is actually at a point where they can not show up for a game and still come out with a victory.
The NY Jets are a disgrace. Of course, that is going to make it even more painful when they beat the Patriots in a few hours.
They gave up Mike Aviles to get him. I am still not wild about trading a player to get a manager, however, Aviles probably did not have a role on a rebuilding Red Sox team going forward. Since the deal happened so late last night, I have not seen a lot of reactions yet. Overall, I think it’s an *okay* move, but it is not something that really excites me. Hopefully, a few months into next season, I will be saying that getting Farrell was the beginning of the Red Sox turnaround.

Chargers Being Investigated for Cheating
> “NFL Security has already begun investigation as SD equipment man was hiding illegal sticky substance and giving to players. Line judge saw it and had it confiscated and sent to Broncos and league”, [Glazer posted on Twitter](http://tmi.me/ykOsb).
The Chargers have always struck me as overrated and whiny, so hearing this makes me smile. I hope Goodell throws the book at them.
I thought Florida might beat South Carolina. I had no idea they would absolutely destroy them. I hope Alabama and Florida can stay undefeated until the SEC title game so we can see that matchup.
Such a touching story. Elyssa says that he is now her favorite football player, and I cannot argue with that.
I am not wild about the whole John Farrell thing. I hope that (1) they do not give up a player for Coach Farrell, and (2) if Coach Farrell becomes the new Red Sox manager, that he turns out to be much better than I anticipate he will be.
I can answer that in one word: Yes.
Such a fun read[^fn1].

Carolina 12th in Opening Coaches Poll
NC State at 6? I knew people thought they would be good, but I did not realize they were supposed to be that good.
Such a classy guy.
