I'm going to say Mississippi State is going to struggle a little bit this year just simply because we don't have Dak Prescott on the field anymore for us.
Stingray SteveTennessee will win the SEC East because they have the fewest question marks
Like in the SEC East, you've got to go with Tennessee just simply because they've got a lot of talent coming back and they don't have as many question marks as, say, like Georgia or Florida or anybody else.
Stingray SteveTexas A&M is the sleeper team to contend in the SEC West

Stingray SteveDan Mullen won't leave Mississippi State until he has another 10-win season

Olympic Update
PFT CommenterThe Olympics should stop providing condoms to encourage the breeding of a super race
I think that there should actually be no condoms inside the Olympic Village. These are... the top true of the top one percent genetically. It should be like a rabbit farm in there. We should be forcing them to breed with each other. No condoms.
Mike Greenbergs Dumb Rules
Big CatMLB teams should be limited to 30 fastballs per game
I think teams should only get 30 fastballs a game. ... The art of pitching, the finesse of pitching, Greg Maddox, come on. I mean, he wasn't throwing 105 miles an hour.
PFT CommenterEvery MLB rotation should be required to have a knuckleballer
I would go along those same lines and say that every team has to have a knuckleball pitcher in the starting lineup. ... In the rotation somewhere.
Big CatThe NFL preseason should be 10 weeks long and start in July
