It's Friday which means it's time for the Mailbag. 

Congrats, you can pretend to work while reading in advance of the Memorial Day weekend.  

Our beaver pelt trader of the week is Kevin Durant. He's included in a mailbag question as well, but his decision to donate a million dollars to the tornado victims is worthy of the award. 

And much more. 

Okay, let's dive into the mailbag.

A month ago Clay and I were discussing how best to entertain you all until football season starts again. I suggested he send me to the Masters, but Clay was doubtful they'd give OKTC a press pass. (Golf- so stuffy.) Instead he decides on The Interstate Mullet Toss and Gulf Coast's Greatest Beach Party at Flora-Bama Lounge, Package and Oyster Bar on the Florida-Alabama line. Mullets and a beach party? IN. I invite my friends Ruthie and April, who will come in handy as photographers and body guards. 

Yesterday NBA free agent center Jason Collins announced he was gay.

As part of that announcement ESPN decided to have gay basketball writer LZ Granderson and NBA analyst Chris Broussard on to discuss the announcement.

It did not go well.

Primarily because Broussard, speaking for many who share the same view, said he couldn't support Collins's decision because he believed being gay was a sin. In particular, Broussard said, "I'm a Christian. I don't agree with homosexuality. I think it's a sin, as I think all sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman is."

Broussard continued, "If you're openly living that type of lifestyle, the Bible says you know them by their fruits, it says that that's a sin. If you're openly living in unrepentant sin, whatever it may be, I believe that's walking in open rebellion to God and Jesus Christ."

In a summer vacation that would break the internet, Johnny Manziel and AJ McCarron are planning a beach trip to Cancun or Key West.

We know this thanks to the intrepid reporting of Laken Litman at USA Today.

McCarron told USA Today, “We’re either going to Key West or Cancun and will hang out with our other friends. Me and him, we don’t ever let that (football talk) bother us. He’s a good friend of mine, and he’s a funny dude.”

If this trip happens, I'm quite confident the resulting page views when vacation trip photos hit OKTC will pay for one of my two kids to attend college.

Potentially both.

Selfishly, I'm rooting for Cancun as the beach destination. But I'm not going to complain either way. After all, how can I complain about a trip that's destined to pay for at least one of my kid's college tuition?

It's Friday, you're pretending to work while reading OKTC, and it's mailbag time.

Let's dive in now.

First, our beaver pelt trader of the week comes via nominee from Brian H.

"Tavon "Bulldog" White... inmate in Maryland prison. Got four female guards pregnant (one twice). Two of them had his name tattooed. P.I.M.P. read the Gawker story if you haven't already..."

From Gawker:

"Tavon White fathered five children by four different guards between 2011 and 2012. Two of the women later had “Tavon” tattooed on their bodies (one her neck, the other on her wrist). One was given a diamond ring, and both were allowed to drive Mercedes Benzes belonging to White. A third woman was provided an Acura. No word on what the fourth woman got."

Remember seven years ago when USC lost to UCLA and for a brief moment it appeared possible there would be a rematch of number one Ohio State and number two Michigan for the BCS title?

It was 2006, the SEC had won two titles in the BCS era, Tennessee in 1998 and LSU in 2003. The Big Ten had nearly matched that haul with Ohio State's 2002 title and for a moment it appeared the 2006 title would be the Big Ten's possession as well. This would mean that the Big Ten and the SEC were still on equal footing, the two lions of the college football universe, still staring across at one another.

Who knows what might have happened if Ohio State and Michigan had played for the 2006 title? Imagine if Michigan had won the game, does Lloyd Carr hang on longer, does the disastrous Rich Rodriguez regime never happen? Does Jim Tressel, now with two titles in his belt, not feel the need to go all in with Terrelle Pryor and the resulting shenanigans that led to his downfall never happen? (Although, Ohio State fans would probably rather have Urban Meyer, so maybe the scandal worked to their benefit). If Arkansas's Reggie Fish just lets the ball roll into the end zone for a touchback, do Urban Meyer's Gators still become dominant? Remember Meyer only won a single other SEC title, in Tebow's junior year, 2008. Hell, if Houston Nutt wins the 2006 SEC title is there any way he gets run out of Arkansas? Is he still there? Where does Bobby Petrino end up?

It has been over seven years now since the Big Ten reached its high water mark of the BCS era.

Wonderlic Scores Leak For 2013 Quarterbacks

Written by: Clay Travis

Since I'm in favor of all Wonderlic scores being public, I wanted to link you to leaked scores for this year's crop of quarterbacks.

You can argue about whether or not Wonderlic scores matter for some positions, but quarterback Wonderlic scores are generally scrutinized by teams because they do have an impact on future success. Conventional wisdom has it that teams want a quarterback prospect to score at least a twenty, lest the speed and complexity of the NFL game overwhelm a signal caller. 

So how did this year's crop of quarterbacks fare and how do those numbers look in the context of past quarterback scores?

Let's dive in.

This year's quarterback scores run the gamut from Syracuse's Ryan Nassib posting a 41 to Arkansas's Tyler Wilson notching a 20.   

There has been an awful lot of bad news lately, now Outkick the Coverage can bring you some good news. A cancer patient at Memphis's St. Jude hospital will be announcing a first round NFL draft pick Thursday in New York City.

This news will be announced shortly via a press release which will begin:

"NFL Play 60, the National Football League's youth health and fitness campaign, is the new "Official Champion of Play" at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, the global leader in finding cures and saving children with cancer and other deadly diseases.

To commemorate this new milestone in the ongoing partnership between the NFL and St.Jude, a St. Jude patient will join NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on stage to announce a pick during the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft. The NFL Network and ESPN will televise live coverage of the NFL Draft beginning at 8 p.m. EST on Thursday, Apr. 25."

Earlier this week future NFL draft picks Matt Barkley of USC and Barrett Jones of Alabama toured St. Jude and had a chance to meet with children like Markell, a cancer patient at St. Jude pictured above who lost one of his legs fighting cancer. Markell will have the opportunity to announce a pick at this year's NFL draft, a moment that will be pretty special for lots of us who have had family or friends impacted by cancer. 

If you aren't familiar with St. Jude's hospital in Memphis, you should be, check out their site here, they truly do amazing work.

The Wonderlic needs to die, and Clay has unwittingly shown us exactly why we need to kill it. His notion that making scores public would be of any service to these kids or anyone else is way off base – here’s why. 

Ah, Johnny Manziel.

Already my favorite player in SEC history and he's only played a year.

Saturday Manziel returned to his hometown of Kerrville, Texas to have a welcome home celebration on the football field. As part of that celebration Manziel brought his Heisman Trophy back home with him. Then according to an anonymous email tipster, Manziel went out to celebrate.

UPDATE Manziel says this is a photoshop on Twitter.

"ABSOLUTELY PHOTOSHOPPED. People are always out to get me...sorry for kissing my trophy."

That night of celebration happened to also be on 4/20.

And, well, you know, how hometown celebrations can go with the Heisman Trophy on 4/20.

Bama and Auburn Fans Get Married at Spring Games

Written by: Clay Travis

Over 150,000 Alabama and Auburn fans showed up for the Crimson Tide and Tiger spring games this past weekend.

And at least two couples got married, one at Alabama and one at Auburn.

Both grooms wore cargo shorts.

But which wore it best?

Let's dive in and decide which Alabama wedding was more awkward.

And God bless Alabama and Auburn fans for continuing to amaze us.

Even when we all secretly think there is nothing that either fan base can do -- especially Alabama's -- to shock us.

They just keep keeping on.

First, we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to AL.com since they actually have video of the Auburn couple being married at Toomer's Corner.
