We were thinking there might be some actual news to report, but apparently the NCAA doesn’t want to interfere with anyone’s weekend.
Market Update
Don’t worry, Jamie. We’re all worth a little less this week.
Eat Your Yellows
What’s the big deal? From the look of things it wasn’t costing us much green anyway.
Hot Air Bubble
Too bad it won’t be this hot in State College; it’d spare us further debate if the thing just melted.
Solid Footing
Tribune Company received a judicial thumbs up to begin the long process of emerging from financial bankruptcy this week. Journalistic bankruptcy might take a little longer.
Strong Suit
Wait, are we also allowed to sue for damaging our souls?
Faster, Higher, Broker
If it’s any consolation to our brave athletes, we treat our brave soldiers just as poorly.
He Said It
And finally this week, duh.
