William & Mary: In its search for a mascot, the school has narrowed its options to five - a Griffin, a King & Queen, a Phoenix, a Pug, and a Wren. We're mildly fascinated by the thought of the "William & Mary Pugs." [W&M.edu] (24)
What’s not to like about Indy tonight? The defending AFC East champs stunk up the joint last week in Atlanta, mustering a meek 259 yards and turning the ball over four times. The last two times they have played (Ravens in the playoffs), Miami has committed nine turnovers. And Peyton Manning and the Coltsown Monday Night Football – “The Colts have the best winning percentage among regular participants over the past decade (9-3, .750).
