I am going to be on vacation for the next couple of weeks, and my schedule is really full. So, I probably will not get to participate as much as I normally would do.

That said, I am convinced that there are too many games, overall, with regard to sports in general. I understand its for money for the leagues and networks, but as well for the legal bookies. However, I don't think it's healthy for the players, and I don't think it's good for fans. It can serve to cheapen the product.

But, hey, I'm a grumpy old man.

Oct. 3 is the first of 55 consecutive days with at least one top-level FBS college football game or an NFL game. There won’t be a day without a college football or NFL game until Nov. 27, the day before Thanksgiving. Too much? Shouldn't October be about baseball? Should Friday nights be reserved for high school football? Your thoughts?

I did NOT know that. It seems every sport is trying fill up a full year calendar. I mean, there’s something wrong when hockey playoffs take place in the summer.

I do think that the short weeks in the NFL aren’t good for the players or for the product, since there’s less time for recovery and less to to prepare a game plan.

I've was the highlights of Vandy beating Alabama. Really surprising. 1st time in Vandy's history that they beat a number a #1 team. I think Bama might have been in a high knocking off Georgia last week.

The trade rumor here in Dallas is that Amari Cooper will come back to the Cowboys. Brian, have you heard anything like that? This talk will probably pickup after the Steelers blow out the Cowboys on Sunday night.

Not hearing anything. It's looking like a frustrating campaign for CLE, so I wouldn't rule it out. Coop has not been himself this season and he's in a contract year. Bit of a mystery.
