    Look, this thing may have all the news value of a Wednesday morning Rotary Club breakfast, but people from across a nine-state region will eat this shit up all week. Every single word. And at this point, I'm loathe to declare a pox on anything that will move papers.

    I'll actually defend this. There is a ton of interest in this.

    I'm not saying there should be, but there is...

    Agreed.

    I'm just tickled by the local sports radio yappers who insist on doing their shows from the Wynfrey. Sometimes I think the only reason they go is because the SEC sends out free steaks from Don Shula's one afternoon.

    A. Don't nobody go thinking it is cute to post that picture that got plenty of air time here before. It ain't cute.
    B. I'm not buying 750.
    C. Haven't seen Charles in years but he was one of my favorite people when I used to visit his then-school often. Someone please tell him hello for me.

    I'm definitely believing 750.

    Breaking news, via Finebaum....Seven writers followed Tebow into the men's room.

    Also, my sources say 750 seems legit.

    Far be it from me to buy into the SEC hype, but yeah -- I'd believe it. I went a couple of years ago and I was flatout floored by the media area. Now, having said that, a lot of the people will go for their team then head home. And some go for the graft and media guides and are never seen again.
    But I've been to both the SEC and Big Ten and if the SEC sayd between 700 and 800, I'll buy it.

    Can someone down there count how many times writers refer to the teams they cover as "we"?

    Why are you only pissing on the writers? The radio geeks and internet clods are f-a-r worse -- at least worst than the papers over 40K...
