Send tips to rickhouse@blogsbyfans.com. And don't forget about my Bears-Steelers preview below.

SI: A look at the teams who passed on Purple Jesus. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Dr. Saturday: A few days late, but a very good takedown of Jim Tressel.

National Football Post: Mike Brown actually stayed healthy for a game. Good for him!

Dr. Saturday: Jacory Harris for Heisman! I don't make enough of my Miami fandom here (ie: I don't know if I've ever even mentioned it), but I'm going to start. The 'Canes are back, mother truckers. Miami manhandled its first two opponents, and if they find a way to win the next two games, I think it's the most impressive 4-0 start in recent college football history. {Opponents: at FSU, vs. GT, at Va. Tech, vs. Oklahoma}

Sports Guy: Simmons' Week 2 preview. Including: "Only seven sports jobs open themselves up to ongoing ridicule, and -- in a worst-case scenario -- genuine venom. The first two? Coach and general manager. The third? Baseball closer. The fourth? Hockey goalie. The fifth? Kicker. The sixth? Jay Mariotti. The seventh? Quarterback."

Stuff White People Like: "It is a guarantee that whenever it is announced that a popular book is being turned into a movie, white people will get upset. This is partly due to their fear that something they love will be made accessible to more people and thus enjoyed by more people which immediately decreases the amount of joy a white person can feel towards the original property. Yes, it's complicated."

Also, don't forget to put in your TUP NFL Pick 'Em picks this week. And since we drop the two lowest scores, you can still join if you haven't already. Find all the league info here.

And a music video. After the jump...
