The Bottom 10 inspirational thought of the week:I wish I was a little bit taller I wish I was a baller I wish I had a girl who looked, I would call her I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat And a six four Impala. --I Wish Skee-LoOn Saturday, as the games of the college football world collectively kicked off, I elected to stay bunkered down in Charlotte, North Carolina, at Bottom 10 HQ South, located in the phone booth where Tom Luginbill changes into Superman.In the middle of it all, my phone rang. It was a friend who was on his way to see the Charlotte 49ers host a home game against Eastern Michigan. Cmon, dude, you write about these teams in that Bottom 10 thing all the time. You even claimed you tried to get College GameDay to do their show at this game. You gotta go.I didnt. I didnt go because I was afraid someone would throw something at me. I didnt go because I never want someone to think Im thumbing my nose at these teams. Im not. Its all in good fun. I didnt go because ... well ... Id just ordered a pizza and some wings, and they were already on the way to my house.But man, now I wish I had gone. I wish I had gone so that I could have maybe told the fans of those two teams how I really feel, and had done that in person. I wish I had gone so that I could explain that, yes, it is all in good fun. I wish I had gone because ... well ... this play happened, and I actually could have seen it in person.With apologies to Neil ODonoghue and Steve Harvey, heres this weeks Bottom 10.1. Rice (0-3) The Owls suffered the rare two defeats at once during their trip to Baylor. First, the football team lost to the Bears 38-10. Second, the Rice Marching Owl Band -- aka, the MOB -- got into trouble for forming a giant IX, as in Title IX, and had to issue a public apology. Meanwhile, Temple lost to Penn State and FA(not I)U got housed by Kansas State. Thats the worst day for a group of owls since my daughter leaned over to me halfway through the premiere of Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of GaHoole to say she was bored and wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheeses. This weekend, Rice hosts North Texas Forty in Pillow Fight of the Week of the Year III (PFOWY3).2. FI(not A)U (0-3) Meanwhile, the FI(not A)U Golden Panthers (not Owls) lost PFOWY2 to UMass, whereupon angry fans of the Minutemen filled my inbox in a minute flat with demands that they now be removed from these rankings. Did I make like the Redcoats at the Old North Bridge and retreat? Stay tuned.3. Virginiugh (0-3) After embarrassing losses to Richmond and Oregon, the Hoos rebounded with a moral victory, losing 13-10 at UConn. As UVa founder Thomas Jefferson once wrote, Sometimes, in the face of troublesome times, it can be best for man to take pause and appraise his moral victories. Oh, what a bunch of #^&@. You think we beat the British with a bunch of moral victories?! Wait, actually I think it was my middle school football coach, Mr. Jefferson, who said that second part.4. I-ow!-a State (0-3)Week 1: Iowa State lost to Northern Iowa. Week 3: Iowa lost to North Dakota State. Week 4: Iowa state legislature passes bill barring the states two biggest schools from scheduling anyone with North in their name. Week 5: Iowa police bar Northwestern from crossing the state line to play Iowa. Week 6: Iowa State linebacker?Reggan Northrup?is considering a new surname.5. Buster Sooner (1-2)Its time to circle the wagons in Norman. Unfortunately, they just have the one wagon, so theyll have to ride it around in circles. Like little Sheriff Barts family during the Indian attack, or Baker Mayfield running around waiting on someone to get open downfield.6. Charlotte 1-and-2ers (1-2)There arent a lot of hard and fast rules when it comes to the Bottom 10, but there are a few. You are guaranteed instant inclusion if you do any of the following: 1. Lose to Eastern Michigan. 2. Commit three consecutive personal fouls to set up an opponents kickoff at your own 20-yard line. 3. Have more than one person approach me at church on Sunday morning to say, Dude, we have to be in the Bottom 10 this week, and one of those people is a university staff member. The Niners pulled a hat trick. And that hat looks like Cam Newtons barbershop boater.7. Warshington State (1-2)No, defeating Idaho doesnt get you off the list.8. UMess (1-2) No, defeating FI(not A)U doesnt get you off the list. (Only 67 days until UMass visits Hawaii.)9. State of Kent (1-2) No, defeating Monmouth doesnt get you off the list.10. Buffalo Bills, er, Bulls (0-2)MAC teams are beginning to arrive to the Bottom 10 like a fun-size bag of Skittles spilled beneath a car seat. Bowling Green, Northern Illinois, My Hammy of Ohio and Just Plain Ohio all lost to varying degrees of disappointment. But in the end the Bulls seized the spot via their three-game losing streak to Albany, Nevada and Fightin Byes of Open Date U.Waiting list: My-hammy of Ohio (0-3), NIU (0-3), Georgia State Not Southern (0-3), Arkansas State (0-3), Kentughky (1-2), Huh-why-yuh (1-3), North Texas Forty (1-2), Kansas Nayhawks (1-2), USC (1-2), dropping the ball before crossing the goal line, tossing the ball to the official behind the goal line ... on a kickoff.Vapormax Nz Wholesale .com) - The Montreal Canadiens will try to halt their longest losing streak of the season when they host the struggling New York Islanders in tonights clash at the Bell Centre.

PAUL, Minn. Vapormax Nz Cheap . Peter Gammons, an analyst for Major League Baseballs network and website, drew the ire of hockey fans on Sunday when he criticized the two NHL teams on Twitter for their physical game the night before.

The 17-year-old native of Marystown, N.L., pulled out of Skate Canada International last month in Saint John, N.B., with the same problem.F1 photographer Mark Sutton talks ESPN through his six favourite shots from two of the most iconic races on the calendar, Spa-Francorchamps and Monza.Catch me if you canCamera: Nikon D5 | Lens: 24-70mm F2.8 | Shutter speed: 1/320th of a second | Aperture: F6.3 | ISO: 200This was an amusing moment at the end of the race. This guy was a fire marshal at the far end of the straight, and when the race ended and the fans poured on to the track for the podium ceremony he was in no mood to hang around. For some reason he had this scooter with him and he just bolted. Its something different but also nice because you can see the fans sprinting down to get the best view of the podium, one of the things that makes races like Spa -- in traditional F1 heartland -- so special compared to some of the newer additions to the calendar.The best corner in F1?Camera: Nikon D5 | Lens: Nikkor 24-70mm F2.8 | Shutter speed: ?1/250th of a second with flash | Aperture: ?F5.6 | ?ISO: 1600I went out to Eau Rouge on Friday afternoon and it is still truly breathtaking, regardless of what people say about the new cars. Its still an amazing corner to go to, you dont get a real sense of the speed until you are sat right there watching them fly past you. The great bit about standing here, on the inside of the bottom of the hill, is you can see the line they take through the rest of the corner. If you look closely you can see it on the road further up. I chose this shot because the car is blurry, adding to the sense of how fast they are going at this point.The line of dutyCamera: Nikon D5 | Lens: Nikkor 70-200mm F2.8 | Shutter speed: 1/250th of a second | Aperture: F4 | ISO: 1600There was a lot more security for the race at Spa -- it was very obvious when you were there, with armed police all over the place. That sort of thing has the potential to unnerve some people. While he was signing autographs, Lewis Hamilton went over to one of them and signed his overalls on the arm. It was a nice moment -- it took away some of the tension of them being there, and the soldiier really seemed to appreciate it.dddddddddddd Any moment you can capture a driver being normal, doing something you dont tend to see on the cameras, is a great shot because it makes them seem more human rather than just these stars driving fast cars.?Farewell, FelipeCamera: NikonD5 | Lens: ?Nikkor 70-200mm F2.8 | Shutter Speed: 1/640th of a second | Aperture: ?F7.1 | ISO: 200Everyone agrees Felipe Massa is one of the nice guys of the paddock and this was a lovely send-off for him at Monza. Ive never seen a spontaneous ovation for a driver at a press conference but thats what he got after his initial statement. He was clearly emotional about it and had his whole family at the front row.There were a few jokes about his son, Felipinho, being in Formula One one day, but Massas wife didnt look too happy with the suggestion! I suppose Massa now has an enviable situation in that he can do whatever he wants, stock cars in Brazil, Formula E, maybe even go into management. I think hell be missed by F1, a rare character and people forget how close he came to being a world champion.Changing fortunesCamera: Nikon D5 | Lens: Nikkor 14-24mm F2.8 | Shutter Speed:1/125th of a second | Aperture: F16 | ISO: 200I was going to pick a podium shot for Nico Rosberg but this picture stood out as telling a nicer story from the Italian Grand Prix. This is just after qualifying, and Hamilton had just taken pole by half a second. Rosberg was clearly miffed how his teammate could be so much faster and after qualifying he sat looking at the timing screens, wondering where on earth Hamilton had found the time.On Sunday he got the start right, Hamilton got it wrong, and that turned the momentum back in his favour but Rosberg must wonder what he has to do to beat Lewis on days like Saturday. Its also a nice shot because 24 hours later he was on the podium celebrating a win, something he probably didnt imagine when he was sat there. ' ' '
