I love that TCU-BYU is the game of the week. First, because I love non-BCS BCS-bowl contenders. Second, because if TCU wants to be taken seriously, they need to win a big game with everyone watching... and not just benefit from winning games on the crawl on the bottom of your screen while you watch better and/or more prominent teams.
More on the radar this morning:
*NBA refs are back! Yes, it makes a difference. Now, if only we could do something about the MLB umps...
*ALCS Game 6: There WILL be panic if the Yankees don't close it out tonight.
*NFL in London? The London franchise is already ahead of Tennessee, St. Louis and Tampa in next week's Power Rankings.
*Why would the Redskins commit to Jim Zorn? I guess they can always fire him, even if they say he's safe -- "misdirection" (ie, lying) has been a staple of the NFL for years.
*Want to know why the Magic (unbeaten in the preseason) will go back to the NBA Finals? Savvy personnel moves like -- no, not trading for Vince Carter... but yes: Brandon Bass, super-sub.
