"I got into sports media because I like sports." We discuss the Holly Rowe story with Jess, and she tells us why she is so tired of constantly talking about incidents like this instead of the actual games themselves. We also touch on a lot of CFB topics, the WNBA's return after a break for the FIBA World Cup, and the worst flight experiences we've ever had. Does Mike Elko look like he should be walking around with a candle on a little plate?

"What's with this cobbler bullshit?" Remember when James Franklin said "Hey, Michael," over and over again? We got the Michael. Michael Howes of the Baltimore Sun joins the show.
