8:07 PMAdam Schefter on a possible destination for Larry Johnson: "When Larry Johnson left Penn State, the one team he wanted to most play for was the Steelers. If he clears waivers, he'd love Pittsburgh." Wait, is Mike Tomlin qualified enough for L.J.?

CARL FROM “ATHF” CUTS THROUGH ALL THE BS OF THE BCS: Confused by the whole BCS situation? WITH LEATHER digs up a fresh viewpoint to help better clarify the collegiate post-season.
Here’s Carl from the Adult Swim series “Aqua Teen Hunger Force”, putting some perspective on what he fondly calls the “Bad College Stupid”:
On the potential of a Missouri-West Virginia title game: “I could give a flying f—.”On the undefeated Rainbow Warriors of Hawaii: “Maybe they can play the chocolate unicorn elves at the Fruity Candy-Ass Bowl in Never Never Land!”
On the success of Kansas coach Mark Mangino: “There ain’t enough Gatorade in the world to soak the multiple mucous- encrusted rolls in his neck alone.”As an added bonus, Carl heaps out some scorn on Giants QB Eli Manning and his performance vs. the Vikings:
“I saw you at the press conference, Eli, smiling and saying that you learned from the game. 4 interceptions? 3 for touchdowns? Oh, did you learn not to throw it to the big guys in the purple shirts?“I’m pissed! And I got an American right to be so!“
