TFP:  Seven Bridges Road. Yes - the 1969 Steve Young version rather than the famous Eagles cover  -  in homage to the Dude (who rants in Espanol so hopefully safe for work; TFP is always looking out for you!).

Al.com: South Carolina's Mike Davis questionable for season opener against Texas A&M.  Here is a link to the report from The State (looks like it is a free article) and another from Phil Kornblut with audio from Coach Spurrier.   Obviously, this is serious news with big implications for the opener and beyond.

The Big Spur: Davis could miss season-opening start.  John Whittle breaks it down.   How freaked out are you?

Gamecock Pride: Checks in with newly committed K Joseph Charlton.  Too late - UNC offered Charlton right after he committed.

Ron Morris: It takes brains to play offensive line - a positive write-up about Shawn Elliot.   First, Sapakoff.  Now, Ron?  This morning's dose of Sports Columnist sunshine brought to you by the numbers 33 and 6.

Greenville News: The HBC is lobbying for the Kid from Flowery Branch - Give Connor Shaw a shot against Hoyer, Manziel.

Cleveland.com: It's Connor in a landslide in this poll - did Carolina fans stuff the balltot box? I suspect there are a lot of votes from real Browns' fan in there too.

Houston Chronicle: JD had to leave Texans practice early yesterday after a helmet-to-helmet collision.

ESPN Boston: Red Sox demote Jackie Bradley Jr. His defense is elite; a .216 average and recent 0-35 slump sunk him, however, along with some pretty esoteric contract considerations regarding options if Jackie spends a certain number of days in the minors.  I expect him back in Beantown on the 40-man roster in September.
