Several Odds and Ends: August 1, 2013

Basically, a catch-all of a few updates before...

• It is now expected that MLB will announce the Biogenesis suspensions tomorrow.  There is late word that A-Rod may have been forced to negotiate a plea, but we'll see.
• Thank you to my anonymous friend who often tips me off.  When my friend read about the "bet" Aaron Rodgers had on Ryan Braun's PED use, my friend found out that the man Rodgers made the "bet" with, Todd Sutton, was a sportswriter for Yahoo!
• The Feds have been sicced on Biogenesis again, thanks to Outside the Lines.  OTL reports today that the agent of the FDA who spear-headed the BALCO investigation, Jeff Novitsky, is now investigating the OTL reports that Biogenesis was providing drugs to 16 and 17 year olds.
• Someone needs to get a leash on Johnny Football, before he gets his butt in a lot of trouble, or, dare I say, killed!  Last weekend, he was seen at (and thrown out of) a fraternity party.  Now, of course, he is a collegian, so, on surface, it wouldn't be an issue...  Except the fraternity party was at Texas A&M's (former, now that the two schools are in different conferences) rival, Texas!!!
• First Coaches' Poll today for the final year of the BCS Farce:  Alabama vs. Ohio State is the projected championship game, with Oregon, Stanford, and Georgia rounding out the top 5.  Half the top 10, as should be expected, are SEC, as are 6 of the top 13.
