Rick Reilly: Beware the Hilltoppers - ESPN - Western Kentucky is a tremendous team full of stud athletes, many of whom will either be in the NFL next year or in the MIT nuclear science program, or both. - Sure, Alabama has more than 30 players in the NFL right now and Western Kentucky has one, but that's probably because most NFL scouts don't know where the Hilltoppers' dynasty resides (near Russellville, I think). Alabama has never played there. - And, yes, Alabama is coming off a so-called "national championship" and has 13 so-called "returning starters," but with the state of American media being what it is, I bet they don't have any hunger left at all! And don't forget Western Kentucky has won eight of its last nine, none against BCS teams but many against schools that have yet to drop football. - This one is like Lady Gaga: It could go either way.
Rick Reilly: Beware the Hilltoppers - ESPN - Speaking for media everywhere, Nick Saban, we're sorry. You were right. We really aren't doing our job correctly and we should've known you were the guy to set us right. - Wednesday, you rightfully tongue-walloped those of us who cover your No. 1 University of Alabama football team for saying your game this Saturday against 40-point underdog Western Kentucky was going to be as one-sided as a Kim Kardashian marriage.
DNC Ratings Tops Football - The Daily Beast - Imagine if Bill Clinton hadn’t been up against the Super Bowl champions. The former president’s big speech on Wednesday night at the Democratic National Convention not only beat the same night of Republican National Convention, but also had more viewers than the New York Giants–Dallas Cowboys game. An estimated 25.1 million people watched the DNC between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. and just 20 million people watched the second half of the football game.
