What a Week

I do not know about you all, but it is hard to believe it is Friday already. This week seemed to fly by. Between "actual" work and the many hot-button news stories circulating through the sports world, the GameTime, TBD© office was in a constant state of chaos for the better part of the week.

Between Reggie returning the Heisman, the Jets harassing a "reporter", the TEA Party high-jacking the Republican Party, and the Lions getting screwed out of win last Sunday, the stories have been coming faster than the star quarterback on prom night. [Editor's Note: Yeah, that just happened.] These stories have garnered so much attention this week, we are going to try something new with this Link Dump: not take an official position on any of them. Well, that is kind of a lie; "technically" we took a position on Bush giving back his Heisman last week. We are choosing to pass on the other three major stories for a variety of reasons, namely: (1) a position on "InesGate" is not likely to end well for the Chief when he gets home to his Better Half tonight; (B) a position on the TEA Party might end the Chief's political aspirations before they have even really begun; and (iii) we do not think today is the day we should test the word limit of Blogger by letting the Chief get going on Calvin Johnson's game-winning (non-)touchdown. So, instead, we are just going to get right to the links and let others chime in:

• I never thought I would see the day: Bill Simmons has the most reasonable take of the week on "InesGate".
• You know whose opinion I would really like to get on "InesGate"? Jenn Sterger. Yes, the woman who dressed like this as a "reporter" for the Jets and . . . oh good, she decided to open her mouth.
• Regardless of whether Megatron's catch was or was not a touchdown, I firmly believe Jim Schwartz is the coach that will return the Lions to greatness. [Editor's Note: Wait, the Lions were once great?]
• These girls or so desperate to become Lions' cheerleaders, they are willing to accept not being Lions cheerleaders.
  
• Matt Forte: last season's fantasy bust, this season's fiance bust.
• You know, when I think of Jon Gruden, I usually compare him to Forrest Gump as well. Wait, what?
• It is only week three of the college football season and we already have our "Say It Isn't So" injury of the year.
• A Denard Robinson tribute song? Some might think it is a little early in the season for that. I say "Did you see the Notre Dame/Michigan game?"
• Here is a fun slideshow on baseball's oddest injuries.
  
• If this reporter is right, the McCourt divorce is going to do more damage to the Dodgers than we previously thought.
  
• Why am I not surprised that this guy is a Walmart patron?
• Looks like John Calipari is still up to his old tricks.
• Your bizarre but true story of the week is brought to you by: [*spins wheel*] Togo.

I am not going to sugar coat it; as great as this week was for large news stories, it was equally as bad for new entertaining videos. But rest assured, our dear readers, that we have saved a few in the vault for just such an occasion:

• By now, must of you are probably familiar with this entertaining news interview. However, you probably are not as familiar with the song it inspired.
• A word of caution to all you singers out there: do not lock your knees.
• Not positive, but I think that is a touch back.
• "This is a BET spin-off, Elementary School Musical."
  
• It has been a couple of weeks, but Jimmy Kimmel was finally back with a new "This Week in Unnecessary Censorship". [Editor's Note: Really Delaware Republicans? Christine O'Donnell?]
• "Imma fry this chicken in my han'."

Have a great weekend everyone!
