Miscellany

Coupla quick notes:

Army/Navy renews their rivalry for the 111th time this Saturday. For a good book on this matchup check out John Feinstein, A Civil War. Best part is it's in most local libraries or as Jerry Seinfeld calls them  'that pathetic childhood friend who let's you borrow all his stuff if you just promise to give it back".

Apparently the Reverend Al Sharpton does not agree with our assessment of the Cam Newton decision. Coming out in favor of the no suspension ruling the Right Reverend justified his opinion in the NY Post this week saying, "the NCAA has already screwed more black men than Kim Kardashian, Sickle Cell Anemia and the Tuskegee Experiments combined!" Amen brother!!

Finally "Versus the Spread" selections on this site will include my friend "Fred's Picks". Considering that when it comes to betting football Fred has, as the late, great Greg Giraldo said, dropped more coin over the years than Michael J. Fox at a parking meter this could be your chance to play the opposite and take home some holiday cash.
