Videos & Videos & More Videos.

I'll keep it simple for you and start with a bunch of must see videos.

- By now you must know that former Longhorns QB Colt McCoy & WR Jordan Shipley were college roommates and are longtime buddies and family friends. So McCoy tied the knot this past weekend with this lovely lady seen here. Who better to serenede Colt then his bestest buddy. Shipley collaborated on a song for the newlyweds. Listen closely for mention of a certain deity that just wrapped up his QB career at Florida.Click here.

- Spain won the World Cup. They celebrated with a parade. I think the players may have had a drink or two, especially the one who let one fly right at the Director of the Spanish Football Federation.


- Streaker videos are so much better when they are women, aren't they? Well this one is no lady. Naked dude proves elusive to the Vancouver stadium crew.

- Carve out 200 seconds of your day and waste it watching the top 100 movie lines. What did they miss?

Now on to the stories we have probably been talking about on the show.
- Dwyane Wade made his comments and used a World Trade Center reference. He has since apologized for anyone that might have been offended. The main problem in my opinion is his was misquoted when the story was originally written, then later after the source apologized for a transcription error. Had there been no original mistake, I don't know that there'd be an apology from Wade. I don't even think he really needed to issue one. You be the judge.
Here's the quote written initially, which was erroneous.
"If we lose a couple in a row this season, it will be like the World Trade (Center) is coming down again."
Now here's the correction (which thanks to the available audio is proven accurate).
"...there's going to be times when we lose 2-3 games in a row, and it seems like the world has crashed down. You all are going to make it seem like the World Trade is coming down again, but it's not going to be nothing but a couple basketball games."
Now the apology.
"It appears that my reference to the World Trade Center has been either inaccurately reported or taken completely out of context. I was simply trying to say that losing a few basketball games should not be compared to a real catastrophe. While it was certainly not my intention, I sincerely apologize to anyone who found my reference to the World Trade Center to be insensitive or offensive."
At the very least, can we all just agree to move on. This is nothing.

- It is long past time to start thinking about college football. I'm excited. Are you? Will this help?


- Nice piece here from Rivals/Yahoo college football writer Tom Dienhart on defensive coordinators changing places. He tweeted a link and tease to this piece, citing "The best offseason hire at defensive coordinator." Honestly I thought he might be writing about Tim DeRuyter, new DC at A&M. He gets a mention, but his answer is someone else.

- Rivals also cranked out this ranking of the best college programs based solely on baseball, basketball & football success. D0 with it what you will - no surprise the Longhorns came out on top.

- Here's another tremendous time waster. Throw on the headphones or crank it up for the top 77 most unforgettable movie songs.
