Item 1: If your name is Colt McCoy, you are predestined to be either a professional football player (for the Dallas Cowboys), an astronaut, or a gay porn star. No pedestrian careers in the law or medicine or accounts receivable for you. Also, playing the Soap Opera Name/Porn Star Name game is going to be anticlimactic.
Item 2: Damnit! I was going to win the US Open* while wearing a sparkly black cocktail dress, but that Sharapova chick girl woman lady person stole my thunder.
Item 3: Think about how much time we could save collectively as a nation if college football would only institute a mercy rule.
Item 4 (which has nothing to do with sports): Joey Lawrence has a shaved head now and is going to be on the new season of Dancing With the Stars. <insert "whoa!" joke here>
* I played high school tennis my junior year--my mother did not stop laughing until the season was over--and have not picked up a racket since.
I'll address Item No. 4, as I try to have nothing to do with sports myself. I hear what you're saying about Joey Lawrence, but what about Tucker Carlson being on that Dancing with the Stars show!?! Tucker. Carlson. Can George Will be far behind? Shudder.

I teach rhetoric at UT and was really hoping Colt would be in my class (it's a requirement for most frosh) so that I could "accidentally" call him by the wrong equine names. Mule, donkey, gelding, etc. Maybe next semester....
