Quick Hit 8/14 #3: Some Quicker Hits

Didn't think I'd be writing this much sans the home computer, but, you know...

• Tony Stewart out again this week for Michigan.  Fact is, he needs to be out PERMANENTLY until it is determined he didn't commit some form of manslaughter against Kevin Ward Jr.  This isn't to say he DID...  As I say, Ward definitely seemed to want to confront Stewart.  But there's enough there there that NASCAR needs to step in and ensure no more.
• To show how much of a joke this new BCS-style CFP (College Football Playoff) is:  They just announced the recusal policy for the committee, and over half of the committee has to recuse themselves on "their team" -- from Barry Alvarez with Wisconsin to Condoleeza Rice (yes, THAT Condoleeza Rice) with Stanford.  There are 13 members to the selection committee, and 9 have to recuse themselves from a school's consideration.  The committee has unilateral power to place in the six big bowls (the rotating two for the title semifinals and the other four which get compelling matchups from the next eight (the Rose, Sugar, Fiesta, Orange, Cotton, and Chick-Fil-A).
• NFL eyes harsher domestic violence bans???  BWAHAHAHAHA.  Another good one, please...  Next thing you'll tell me, they'll actually punish people for what is considered "being a man" in today's warped culture.
