As many of you know, our posts have been sporadic and pathetic in recent weeks, which is a departure from the past when they were usually just pathetic. Apropos of nothing, if you are planning to start a family, you shouldn't. And if you already have children, you should kill yourself (And while you're at it, punch me in the face for using the word 'apropos' in a sentence).
We have a few thoughts and plagiarized stats before getting to the Super Play of the Day...
In honor of the government shutdown, The Crew has come of with a list people, places and things that also should consider a shutdown:
Rick Reilly: We swear to fucking God, at one time Rick Reilly was perhaps the nation's finest sports writer. Now, he's getting publicly trashed by his father-in-law, who says he was misquoted in an incredibly awful column Reilly recently wrote for ESPN.com.
The Twitter feed @bestfansstlouis: If you have some deranged notion of what it means to be baseball's best fan base, these assholes, which have over 8,100 followers, are an enjoyable mix of slurs, AIDS jokes and resentment.
The @Dodgers have aids.....Too soon? @DrunkFredbird

AIDS: Never unfunny, unless it's always.
Someone tell Magic Johnson he might be able to beat AIDS, but it's harder to beat the Cardinals. #Cards #Dodgers

Clever
Also late celebratory Cards victory tweet....bring on the AIDS all-stars from LA

That doesn't make sense and why is this a theme
Pirates..... More like butt pirates #Game5 #Cards

Oh, man, because that's a gay thing. #roasted
See ya late pirates..... Faggots

More gay stuff
Hey @PujolsFive how you like that shit?? Enjoy your offseason
— Allen Martin (@Holliss_Mordin) October 10, 2013
Trolling athletes is always gold. Incidentally, Pujols made $16 million this season and has $212 million left on his current contract: He's enjoying his off season just fine, Allen.
We really are the best fans in baseball

Clearly the best.
People who think Condoleezza Rice belongs on next year's college football playoff selection committee: This is not a male vs. female issue or jock vs. analysis issue or even a political issue. This is a common sense issue. Whatever your political persuasion, Rice is remarkably capable, having served as Secretary of State, National Security Adviser to the President and Provost of Stanford University.
When running Stanford is the third coolest thing you've done in your life, you accomplished something. Still, that doesn't mean that she should have any role in deciding who plays for the national title. And for that matter, neither do most of the other dicks who are reportedly on the committee -- which should be compromised of people who have spent a lifetime either covering, coaching or playing football, or serving as a executive or talent evaluator. Male or female.
Soccer: Just because. Nothing timely. It's awful. Always has been, always will be. Watch this.
Columns like these: This is Greg Hansen, the longtime sports columnist for the Arizona Daily Star in Tucson. Hansen is the quintessential delusional small-market columnist, once predicting that former Wildcats head coach and sideline lunatic Mike Stoops would lead Arizona to national prominence and then leave to take over at Florida State. Good call. Judging by a brief encounter we had with him last year in a hotel buffet line in Eugene after the Ducks hammered Arizona, dude doesn't seem very happy about his life, because he looked like he was seconds away from taking the place out.
On to the column. To start, he writes that college football coaches, many of which earn more that $2 million a season, should work no more 40 hours a week. Seriously. Then he bravely addresses the elephant in the room: Why isn't anyone been willing to admit that Arizona has been just as talented at running back as USC over the last 35 years. I'm mean, really, both schools have had six backs named to the all conference team since 1978, you guys. That three of those 'SC backs won some shit called the Heisman, who cares...
The Crew headed to Gameday this morning. Once the Oregon cheerleaders realized we were there, they became a bit smothering, but it was a still good scene. Seattle showed up...
According to David Payne Purdam, who covers the sports betting industry for various outlets, not a single wager had been placed on K-State at the Wynn as of Wednesday. Not one. The Wildcats host Baylor, which is -17.5 in most places...
As Pat Forde pointed on this week, Washington has played Stanford and Oregon back to back in three of the last four years...
Super Play of the Day
Oregon State +1
other plays
Washington +390
Missouri +7
