The Colts will start QB Philip Rivers on Sunday against the Seahawks, sources tell The Insiders.

Dazed and Confused in Grafton Stovall. An absolute party.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

Gator fans questioning Napier’s offense at JMU are selling Roan short. It’s not like he’s going to let Florida’s buyout money subsidize a coach w/o validating that he’ll hand-off play-calling first. There’s millions of Florida’s money at stake.

ACC did it to themselves. Over-expanded and created ridiculous tie breakers. Meanwhile JMU just kept winning and walked through the door the ACC opened.

My argument against the playoff from its introduction is that it's the only postseason in college sports that doesn't offer a bid to every conference champion and that remains true
