- Quote of the week: Representative Joe Barton of Texas, who introduced legislation that says no NCAA football game could be called a "national championship" without the benefit of a playoff, said, referencing the BCS (Bowl Championship Series), "It's like communism, you can't fix it."

- It's nice to smell charcoal burning--another sign that spring, with outdoor grilling, has arrived.
- Did you know that Jim Nantz has been broadcasting for CBS now for 24 years? I'm not sure the guy ever gets a weekend off as I watch him anchor coverage of the PGA Tour's Quail Hollow Championship this afternoon. Nantz anchors CBS' golf coverage, NFL football and NCAA Basketball. And, he's a genuinely nice guy.
