Obligatory
The FOTP funship and pleasure cruice will be laying anchor down in the ATL this weekend for the now not-so-intriguing Chick-fil-a Kickoff between LSU and whats left of North Carolina.

Tonight at 7:30 CST or thereabouts, we’ll be discussing the hotspots, the culture, and the appropriate amount of time a grown man should be allowed to spend at the soda fountains at the...

Questionable Poses: LeBron James Teaches His Boys The Art Of Taking Horrible Pictures
We don’t need to mention the pose. We don’t need to mention their attire. We don’t even have to mention the ridiculous look on LeBron’s face. All we need to mention is that it is a plum tragedy that LeBron has chosen to expose his two young boys to the ways of taking horrible pictures.
Poor kids.
Via Sportress of BlogitudeGettin’ Paid: UFC 118 Salaries
Apparently a thirty second fight can net you 500,000, even if you lose terribly.James Toney made half a million at UFC 118 and was by far the top earner. Compare that to the 96,000 that was hauled in by lightweight champ Frankie Edgar, and you can’t help but be a little sad for the fact that the freakshow made more than the champ.Here is the full list from Sherdog.com:Main Card: - Frankie Edgar $96,000 (includes $48,000 win bonus) def. B.J. Penn $150,000 - Randy Couture $250,000 def. James Toney $500,000 - Demian Maia...
Are The Colts Still A Super Bowl Contender?
The Indianapolis Colts have been the most consistent and dominate regular season team in the NFL over the past seven years.
They have won 12 or more games since the 2003 season, have won 6 of the last 7 AFC South Division titles and they have the best QB in the league on their roster, Peyton Manning.
Despite all the success, the team has only managed to win one Super Bowl title; they are the Super Bowl XLI champs.
The team finished last season 14-2...Video of the Day: Silverfox BJJ’s Guillotine to Anaconda Choke

Penn State Mascot Gets To Sit At Home For A Month And Think About All His Drinking
The weeks leading up to the NCAA football season has been littered with players being suspended. The latest suspension though, doesn’t involve a player. Instead, it involves a mascot.
The man behind the mascot at Penn State is in trouble with the law.
Police in State College, Pa., issued an underage drinking summons to Clint Gyory on Aug. 24. He was also cited for public drunkenness and criminal mischief on August 1.
Gyory was supposed to don the Nittany Lion costume for Saturday's opener against Youngstown...Amar’e Stoudamire Explains Why He Once Chose Steve Nash Over Kobe Bryant
The argument can be made that Steve Nash joining the Phoenix Suns is the sole reason for Amar’e Stoudamire becoming that player that he is today. The argument can also be made that Nash is the sole reason that Stoudamire has been able to cash in with the New York Knicks. So make no mistake about it, Steve Nash joining him Phoenix was vital.
But no matter how vital Nash was, Stoudamire chose Nash over someone who may have been even more vital to his development. ...UNC May Have to Play Iron Man Football
Joe Schad dropped the bomb and ESPN is confirming it now, UNC could potentially have 16 players suspending for their season opening game against LSU on Saturday. UNC is reported to be working with the NCAA on some sort of delayed suspension schedule so they aren’t totally devoid of warm bodies for the season. In the spirit of Ed Genero, I’d like to propose that Butch Davis just go with Iron Man football. Im sure Paul Blake and Andre Crimm have some eligibility left.
And for no...Birmingham Scion Stories
