CHIEFS GET BRONCOS' SECONDS
Kyle Orton picked a good time to be released. Everyone and their mom wanted some of his mediocre talents. The Chiefs are the ones to have shouted FIRST quicker than others.
Question on Everybody's Mind: Was this a good move?
Our Take: You bet. And Orton will play much better without some weird dude constantly kneeling behind him in practice.
Hype Meter: 5 out of 5 Thank God No More Tebows
The real loser in all this is Tyler Palko. Ten years from now one of your buddies will drop a Tyler Palko reference and you will laugh for a week. Thank you, Palko. He is the Moonlight Graham of the NFL.

JERRY SANDUSKY ACCUSED OF FAMILIAL ABUSE
Didn't I say this was going to get darker before any amount of light shone through? There are new allegations that one of the new victims is a member of the Sandusky family.
Question on Everybody's Mind: Is there anyone he didn't abuse?
Our Take: If true, this man was living a Caligula life where he did anything he wanted while other looked the other way. Imagine if he was a head coach or someone that actually mattered in life.
Hype Meter: 5 out of 5 I'm Done, Done I Tell Yas
I warn you again. This story will get all the more sordid as we begin to uncover the whole truth.

URBAN MEYER EITHER REALLY DOES OR DOESN'T WANT THE OHIO STATE JOB
Depending on who you believe, Urban Meyer is or isn't going to be the next coach at Ohio State. A report from WKMG in Orlando says the two sides have agreed in principle to a seven-year, $40 million deal. Meyer is denying the reports, saying he "hasn't been offered a job nor is there a deal in place."
Question on Everybody's Mind: So what the hell is Meyer doing?
Our Take: We think we know that Meyer is or isn't going somewhere that is not his home. Make sense? There is a lot of smoke surrounding this story, and personally, I wouldn't be surprised to see an official announcement one way or another after Saturday's Ohio State-Michigan game.
Hype Meter: 5 out of 5 Ohio Tattoo Parlors Offering Free Urban Meyer Ink
Urban Meyer is the biggest name out there, and for Ohio State to at least be in contact with him really takes the sting out of this miserable year that the football program has had. There are still hurdles to be cleared, but as of right now, things are looking up in Columbus.

BRONCOS TELL ORTON THANKS, BUT WE ALREADY HAVE AN AWFUL QB
How would you like to be the quarterback to lose your job to a man that can't throw the ball? That question was directed at Kyle Orton who was just released by the Denver Tebows.
Question on Everybody's Mind: Where does the newly unemployed mediocre QB go?
Our Take: The Bears and Texans immediately got giddy like a fat kid hearing the ice cream truck. Here is a video of both teams on hearing the news that Orton was available.
Hype Meter: 5 out of 5 Hey, I Need One Of Thems
For Broncos fans, this is like when they switched moms in Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Nobody seemed to notice and that will be the same in Denver, until the Broncos draft a quarterback next year. Then every head will literally explode on the streets of downtown Denver.
Um, Uh Totes Tweet Award of Night:

BYU WOULD LIKE BIG EAST TO SEE THEMSELVES OUT
BYU said thanks but no thanks to the Big East's invitation for a grand party they are throwing. It seems BYU has an inflated view of self worth.
Question on Everybody's Mind: What went wrong?
Our Take: It could be a number of things, but ESPN seems to think BYU wanted to hold onto their TV rights for home games. Something that no other school in a major conference has. Yes, they are the Chets of College Football.
Hype Meter: 4 out of 5 Shrugs and Ho Hums
If you need us, we will be over here not giving one Fruity Pebble on this. Does BYU ever really feature into anything? Keep your TV rights and continue beating those easy teams.

DUKE ROLLS AS MY STOMACH TURNS
Duke continued their winning ways...sorry. I had a little throw up in my mouth. So, Duke won. There. That's as good as I can muster for this team.
Question on Everybody's Mind: Are they headed to another title?
Our Take: Whoa, there big fella. Let's concentrate on the Maui Invitational whose finals they are about to play in against Kansas. Kansas can take down the team that never loses nor never ceases to get media hype all year long.
Hype Meter: 4 out of 5 Yankees of College Hoops
The real hype comes tonight when the two storied programs battle in an early season marquee matchup. The fact that I write this with a smile tells you the detox stage of the NBA lockout has waned. I may be cured.

IT CAME FROM PENN STATE
When we last left Happy Valley, Penn State was falling apart. Well, nothing has changed except that even more alleged victims have been discovered. This time, they are recent.
Question on Everybody's Mind: How bad have things become?
Our Take: The latest is the Children's Services of Pennsylvania is investigating two more alleged victims. The big item of note is the CSP only investigates if the victim is under 18. So, yes. It has become even more ridiculous.
Hype Meter: 4 out of 5 Please Make it Stops
This is going to get far more out of hand before any of this stops. There is even this ESPN report that Joe Paterno allowed his players to possibly run amok during his tenure. Trust me. If any player or coach has as much as passed wind in an elevator in the past 20 years, we are about to find out about it.

In just the most solid turn, Matt Kemp took the MVP snub in stride, then he told reporters he was going to go 50-50 next year. He nearly met his last promise of 40-40. I now have a full dude crush.
