The best and the brightest?

Despite the Bay Bridge closure for Labor Day weekend, Tampa Bay pitcher David Price elected to take a taxi from San Francisco to Oakland yesterday for the Rays-As game instead of BART. Cost him $202. And the guy’s from Vanderbilt. Supposed to be smart…

Syria is a no-win situation. But President Obama’s statement today that the United States “should take military action against Syrian targets,” but that he would seek congressional authorization when Congress returns was very well played. Your move, GOP.

Have to wonder, would Americans care more about what is happening in Syria if we could frame the possible outcomes in terms of covering or not covering the spread?

Justin Bieber was uninjured after he was apparently attacked in a Toronto nightclub. Maybe the attacker was just trying to get Bieber to emulate Ted Cruz and try to renounce his Canadian citizenship?

Texas A & M gave four players two game suspensions today for “violating team rules.” What did they do to get four times Manziel’s suspension? Accept checks instead of cash?

After serving his arduous 30 minute NCAA suspension, Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel threw 3 touchdowns, but managed to get an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for taunting in the fourth quarter. Whereupon he was benched for the rest of the game. Stay classy “Johnny Football.”

US Airways is sending out schedule changes where the flight number stays the same, the departure is the same, and the arrival is scheduled 1-2 minutes later. Literally. Here’s an idea – have them save the effort expended to adjust their schedules by 1-2 minutes, and put it towards actually having the planes fly on time.

Researchers have grown the first artificial human brains from skin cells. The miniature brains are about 4mm across and equal to the brain of a 9 week human fetus. Insert tacky Sarah Palin joke here.

Heisman hopeful Jadeveon Clowney looked hopeless at times during his first game this season. He spent much of the game hunched over and gasping for air. Could he be football’s version of a “one hit wonder”?
