- Georges St. Pierre won his big UFC bout on Saturday, and because I am Canadian like him, I've started challenging everyone I know wearing anything remotely American (USA shirts, Jets hats) to fights. "WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING OF IT, EH?" I tell them.Football:
- Commissioner Roger Goodell spoke at the Harvard School of Public Health, which, I know, lol. Here's the transcript.- The first chunk of games on Sunday were beyond awesome. The Texans became the first team to score twice in OT. Dallas won in OT against Cleveland, who really aren't that bad. Atlanta won even though Matt Ryan threw five interceptions and no TDs. In the second chunk of games, the Patriots ran up the score and their best player broke his arm on the last play.NBA:

- Apparently some reporters’ well-informed opinions say some important bigg doggs (namely, the Flyers' owner) want this no-hockey-playing bullshit to end, but it hasn't. Whether that means anything whatsoever in terms of young employed men actually playing live hockey for North Americans is another thing altogether, and something I can't rightly answer.College Football:

- The NCAA eventually did the right thing and reinstated Shabazz Muhammad. Muhammad was busted for getting help to go on an unofficial recruiting visit or something. I don't even know, it's so stupid. He got reinstated because of something a guy overheard on a plane. Is this real?- Oh yeah, college basketball also started in earnest. Here's a thing we did last week about tripping balls during the first day that I think is super good.NASCAR:
- Some dude won because some dude quit. Man, what a season. Here is the New York Times's story, which is a fun thing to think about. "Hey we got the NASCAR thing in!" "OK, cool. Slide it under the Fieri bitch-slap and the tour of that banker's house."@samreiss_Previously: The Lakers' Long National Nightmare Is Over
