Some comments

When are they going to cut down on the number of people standing on the sidelines at football games. College and pro games. They are sometimes two and three deep, just standing there, waiting to get clobbered by some three hundred pound lineman. And if some player is injured by one of those damn television cameras, who is responsible. I imagine at least one hundred of those "standers" are involved in television, cameras everywhere, some guy holding that big funnel. Someday, someone will get killed or seriously injured and someone, in their infinite wisdom, will say ... "perhaps it is dangerous to stand on the sidelines." Basketball is the same way. Baseball, no one is standing on the side, same with tennis.

Michigan football will soon need a coach. Poor Brady, I imagine, is gone. What will it take to get Jim Harbaugh at Michigan. Rumor has it that the AD and others, are working on a proposal to present to Mr. Harbaugh, and, he WILL be called Mr. Harbaugh. This is rumor only, so do not repeat this, or let it out. Five million a year, a half million for each game coached, a million for a win, five million for a win over Ohio State. Upon retirement from coaching, Mr. Harbaugh will become the President of the University, and Mr. Harbaugh's name will be submitted to the Council of Cardinals, and when an opening occurs, he will be in consideration to become Pope. And, if so desired, his brother can become an assistant coach and his brother in law can become the Michigan basketball coach. They can choose any other family member to be the Director of Athletics. Tough to turn down.

Ravens fans traded Ray Rice shirts, by the thousands, matter of fact, they ran out of some sizes. Rice is the player who no, not punched, "Cold Cocked" his then fiancee, now wife ... I have  wondered about that, why marry some guy that knocks you out in an elevator, or anywhere for that matter. I guess fame and money can make you look over a few "flaws."

Fans, not the kind you use to stir the air, people, who become .... fans. How does one become an avid fan, and why. I wonder who the first "fan" actually was? "Gorf, did you see how Org ran to catch that Brontosorous, and that look of surprise on his face when he caught it, man, I could watch him do that all day." Thus a fan, the first fan. Gorf went right out to his neighborhood Cavemart and bought an Org jersey.

Why do the really dressed up, scary fans, get such good seats so that TV can easily spot them?
