Anything & Everything

I've got too many windows/tabs open up in my browser right now. I never close them if it's a story or video that I'm going to talk/tweet about on the show. I fail all the time - so here's a bunch of random stuff (anything & everything) that may or not have hit the air on Matt & Adam in the morning.

College Football
-Nobody does a better job forecasting the eventual Heisman Trophy winner than Heisman Pundit. Here are their preseason thoughts on 2010 Heisman. Keenum's in the top ten.

- Nice story on Case Keenum becoming the face of UH football and chasing a perfect season and the Heisman trophy.

- Rivals.com breaks down the Big 12. Unit rankings, conference rankings and of course predictions. Calling for a Horns-Huskers title tile rematch.

- An absolutely fantastic resource for college football just launched today. Think Pro Football Reference...for College Football. Outstanding, I'll be wasting time on that site every day for the next 6 months.

NFL
- We had Doug Farrar from Football Outsiders on with us this morning to talk Texans, Cushing, Schobel, etc. Read his article on Cushing's situation. If you missed the interview check the podcast.

- As you prepare for your fantasy football draft (or drafts!!), just know that each of these individuals will be at your draft party.

- Madden 11 was just released so when you emerge from your basement, here's a rundown from National Football Post of some of the ins & outs of the game. Including 5 simulated seasons that produced 5 different champs.

- The Texans released their unofficial depth chart this week. It gets updated (unofficially, ha) throughout the season.

BASEBALL
- Joe Posnanski is a fantastic baseball writer. Here's his take on the worst everyday player in baseball. You want suspense? No. Ok, it's Carlos Lee.

RANDOM
- Headline of the year material on this story. Naturally it's not from America.

- As the smoking gun describes it - Sicko "Marriage Contract" is one for the ages. Agreed. This is graphic and detailed stuff - let this serve as your warning. Proceed with caution.

VIDEO
- We get a lot of people asking us to go ahead and get a webcam and crank it up. Now I'm all for it. Especially when cheerleaders and playmates, etc make their way into the studio. The webcam should also serve as a reminder that the red light is always on. This intern knows that...now!!



- All I can say is wow. God Bless America...and television.



- Ever had a hankering for McNuggets? Here's the scene in Toledo...woman wants nuggets, goes to drive thru, orders them, gets angry since it's 6:30 am and its breakfast time so no nuggets...I think you know the rest. Boring first minute or so, payoff at 1:15 is worth it.
