The Case for Clemson: Why the Tigers Should Be the 14th SEC Team
A "high-ranking SEC official" told the Sporting News' Matt Hayes that "every option is on the table now".

Love, or at least a high level of mutual respect is in the air

Washington Nationals/Senators All-Star History: The Second Senators' Last All-Star.
In 1971, Washington Senators' outfielder Frank "Hondo" Howard was elected to his fourth-straight All-Star Game. It would be his last. The next season Howard was a Ranger.

Monday Night Dawg Bites: Who Dat Say Saints Make Him Wanna Puke? Edition
The Monday following Super Bowl Sunday is like an aluminum bat to the face, and trebly so if the team you (nominally) supported the day before lost. Granted, there is no outcome of any NFL game I could find truly fortunate or unfortunate---it’s the NFL; it’s basically just a waste of six or eight...
