The Ref

Keep your “Pro vs. Con”. Colbert can have his “Tip of the Hat, Wag of the Finger”. We’re gonna reward points and penalties to people based on their genius decisions and boneheaded moves.

	TOUCHDOWN: UFC Owner (Zuffa LLC) For buying Pride, the Japanese mixed-martial arts fighting group, and guaranteeing a lot more great rough and tumble fighting. Also, bonus PAT to UFC just for having hottie Chuck Liddell fighting on their cards. [UFC scores TKO on its business rival]
	OFFSIDES: San Diego Padres For dumping hottie Todd Walker, in favor of Marcus Giles- after taking Todd to arbitration and losing (to the tune of $3.95 million). Nice timing- one day before the deadline, but after stringing him along through weeks of spring training. [Padres decide Walker must go]
	TOUCHDOWN: Bruce Pearl For sticking with Tennessee, and spurning the alluring advances of Iowa. It’s not that UT is “better” (cause I’m not picking Holly vs. Andie), but it’s nice for a coach to come out and put rumors to rest. [Vols' Pearl Says No To Possibility At Iowa]
	OFFSIDES: NCAA For (allegedly) shortchanging college football and basketball athletes an average of $2,500 a year through their overreaching limitations on scholarship-eligible expenses. Nothing says karma like a class action lawsuit! [NCAA could take big hit in scholarship anti-trust trial]
	TOUCHDOWN: EDSDS Live! Everyone knows Orson Swindle and Peter Bean are funny dudes in print- but they’re just as entertaining to listen to. Every Tuesday night they go live and talk college football- put it on your calendar and check them out. [EDSBS Live!] & [EDSBS/Burnt Orange Nation]
