There’s a great article on parity in college football at Slate.

Jane
It’s been a Jane weekend here at dg.net. I don’t know why. For some reason I’ve had Jane’s Addiction’s Jane Says and The Velvet Underground’s Sweet Jane stuck in my head since late Friday. Odd, that.
I guess it’s time to go to work …

A New Head!
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition! A new head looms!
I was thinking of saying something along the lines of, “Like sands through the hourglass, these are the heads of our lives.” Or maybe, “Is that a phoenix rising from the ashes? No! Hark! ‘Tis a large head!” But I decided against it.

ESPN
Y‘know what? I really love ESPN. There was an excellent essay in Sports Illustrated a few weeks ago about how ESPN is in danger of MTV-izing itself: showing ‘television shows’ tangentially about sports instead of showing what everyone wants to see - games and scores. The article made a good point.
I’m totally in favor of your site remembering me.
As soon as MTV stopped showing videos, I stopped watching. I was a bit wary when The 2 Minute Drill started. I don’t want my ESPN turning into a channel that’s only kinda about sports. I don’t want to have to watch the deuce or ESPNNews or any other ESPN channel (or, God forbid, FOX Sports) if I want to see a Boise State v. Mid-America Tech volleyball game at 3 am. I want those completely irrelevant competitions on ESPN right between Sportscenters. I do like ‘the bottom line’ and I do enjoy one or two of the things that are on ESPN that aren’t games or Sportscenter - The Sports Reporters for example. But please. I don’t want to watch a game show or a mini-series or movie or whatever on my sports channel. I don’t think anyone else does either.

Bosox
Trot Nixon worked the count against Texas reliever Danny Kolb, and the strategy worked in favor of the Boston Red Sox. Nixon hit a tiebreaking grand slam in the eighth inning on a 3-2 pitch from Kolb and the Red Sox beat the Rangers 7-4 Friday night.
