So - the National Basketball Association is passing a rule about a dress code. When going to or coming from league events, players are required to wear collared shirts, pants, and no headgear or jewelry. (Presumably, and exception would be made if anyone in the league converted to Orthodox Judiasm...)
There are any number of reasons players complain about this - particularly Allen Iverson's complaints. And to some extent, I do sympathize. But I wear a coat and tie to work every day, and it's really not a major imposition. Joking aside, my necktie is not exactly the Yoke of Oppression.
Beyond which - without the stylin' suits, there's not nearly as much reason to watch the NBA Draft Coverage.

Virginia Tech at Maryland
Actually - it's probably not the game of the week - that's Texas Tech vs. Texas. But this is big, at least for us at Maryland. A win here puts us on track for a nice bowl game. And I'll be there.
So, Football Fans - tune in for at least a quarter. Presuming Tech doesn't just blow us right the hell out the building, I think it'll actually be a decent game for awhile. And it might be another showcase for Vernon Davis - possibly the best Tight End in College Football.
Although, I still don't think we'll win. Prediction: Virginia Tech 37, Maryland 23.
