The University of Michigan football postgame radio show has no shortage of sponsors, as evidenced by their player of the game declaration following the Northwestern game:

“The Walt Michals RV Superstore player of the game was brought to you by Capital Mortgage Funding.”

2)Wait, is that good or bad?
In their season opener, the defending NBA champion Miami Heat lost to the Chicago Bulls, 108-66.  The margin of defeat was the largest ever for a champion’s season opener.

After the game, Heat player Alonzo Mourning waxed philosophical:

“Obviously this is a total embarrassment,” Alonzo Mourning said. “We’re better than what we showed out there tonight. I know things will get better before they get worse. Just kind of unfortunate in our home opener that we came out with this kind of showing.”

“Things will get better before they get worse.”  You heard it from ‘Zo first: the Heat will lose games by fewer than 42 points … and then they will lose by more than 42 points.
