Couple thoughts before The Super Play of the Day...
Raiders linebacker Rolando McClain was arrested earlier this week after being charged with third-degree assault, menacing, reckless endangerment and discharging a firearm. If he were an NBA player it would have caused a national uproar, inspiring a bunch of bad columns about the cultural disconnect between players and the fans. But since he plays in the NFL, people cared only because it might cause him to miss a game. He, of course, will play today...

Oklahoma State super booster Boone Pickens told CNBC's Darren Rovell this morning that he's "all packed and ready to go" to the BCS Championship game. It's not going to happen. The BCS isn't a perfect system, but if it matches Alabama and LSU in the title game it did its job. You can't lose to six-win Iowa St as a 24-point favorite and complain about the unfairness of the system...
Alabama should play for the national title, but their tight end Chris Smelley is hick and he sucks. Smelley Tweeted last night, "I have no time for [Oklahoma State coach] Mike Gundy. Dude just claimed Ok state would score 35 points on LSU..pass me what your (sic) drankin coach." You can't engage another coach on Twitter. It's loutish and unseemly. Gundy was simply making the case for his team, the same thing Smelley would want Nick Saban to do if the situation were reversed. Saban should make Smelly run gassers for every town in Alabama with a literacy rate under 50 percent, which is to say most of them...
The Super Play of the Day
The Dolphins have covered their last five games in a row and The Crew never likes a West Coast team playing the early game in the Eastern Time zone, especially in Miami. Dolphins -3
Other plays
Minnesota +1.5
Arizona +6
