Yeah, I know the economy is hurting and all, but that's never made a lot of sense to me considering that, at any point in time, there's only a finite amount of money in the world, so where the hell did it all go?
Oh, well, I could see how shipping sand to a coastal desert resort could get pricey. Keeps washing away, you say? Go figure.
The Roundup:
- Ohio State, suddenly pretty thin at the QB position, if you can claim a god to be thin.
- Distraction? No! No! Not at all! Now, what was I doing?
- Congratulations, Comcast Customers, you get to pay for The Big Televen Network, like it or not.
- Duke Sucks, now writ large!
- One of the few times the sentence, "She's had a number of unnerving experiences with the pirate," isn't said euphemistically.
- "Hey, you know what'll get us to suck less? New logos."
- Finally, the answer to, where has all the money gone? It's gone here and here. Sure, Selena Roberts gets paid $600,000 a year to do about the same as I do on this blog, but who's got all the talent, eh babe?
- I can't believe I forgot the biggest gripe about the NBC/ND deal: The timeouts.
- Oh, and I forgot this week's Beer of the Week, which is based entirely on Trey's suggestion. I'll head out at lunch and see if I can find some.

DTK,
I know. Given that our field always pays strictly based on merit and ability, it’s shocking, isn’t it?

I usually don’t get too concerned about how much money other people make, but unlike every other person on that list I don’t know anyone who likes Rick Reilly. Simmons, some like some don’t, even I find Whitlock entertaining sometimes but who likes Reilly?

Much worse on the complete waste of money scale are the Dubai World Islands, which was supposed to looked like a Mollweide projection of the Earth and instead due to the fact that sand erodes looks like something you get when a four year old throws sand into a puddle.
