    According to ESPN, Dalvin Cook "elected to decide to play" in the Orange Bowl. I swear I hate broadcast speak. Why can't he just "elect to play" or "decide to play"?

    Do you think broadcasters talk like that in real life?

    I'm not entirely convinced English is Todd McShay's native tongue.

    No.

    We also shouldn't talk like it on the air, either.

    He was transported...
    Fled on foot...
    Ejected from the car...

    Each day I take this crap out of my scripts and make it conversational.

    It's 5 a.m. and I've been up since 2 watching the game. A little cross-eyed now, and I misread that as "make it controversial."

    Nine FBS games left and then the longest offseason in sports. Already dreading it.

    Bowl picks are a shambles, even with some late success.

    Game ended five minutes ago, and my morning alarm just went off. Time to wake up!

    Michigan could beat anyone in the nation except Alabama ... and Iowa ... and Ohio State ... and Florida State.

    I'd still take em over USC though.
