In less than 24 hours, Florida’s Urban Meyer went from “resigned” to “leave of absence”. Excuse me? What exactly does that mean? He’s coming back, he’s not coming back? I feel like the college sports world has maybe been “punked” here.

Football Fans: When Is Enough, Enough?
As I have stated before, I am not just a football nut, but a Georgia Bulldog. Some of you, if you didn’t see the Bulldogs play, may have seen the recap of the call at the end of the game this Saturday that many say swung the momentum. It was an unsportsmanlike penalty for excessive [...]
