Ever see Snoop Dogg strutting across the stage and think, "Snoop's got some decent height and if he wasn't so high all the time, he might have pretty good motor skills." Well, you were right. Meet Cordell Broadus, Snoop's son, who is a four-star, ranked #88 overall, in the class of 2015 by 24/7 Sports.

Outkick the Coverage's 25 Most Popular Cities for 2012
Written by: Clay Travis|
|
As we continue to roll out the data from Outkick the Coverage's first year in business, here's a roster of our 25 largest cities for both desktop and mobile. I haven't broken these cities down on a per capita basis so these are just raw visit numbers that all come from Google Analytics. The Google Analytics data isn't flawless, but I think it's accurate enough to give a strong indication of where y'all are reading the site from. It's not a suprise that Nashville is our top market since it's my hometown and our 3HL show airs on 104.5 the Zone, which is the nation's highest rated sports talk station. (By the way, I just Tweeted out this link, but if you ever listen to sports talk radio you have to read an oral history from Grantland of the nation's first all sports station -- WFAN. It's truly amazing.) So Nashville at the top was no surprise, but if you've ever wondered what kind of punch Texas A&M and Missouri will bring to the SEC, just scan the list of OKTC's top markets. Three of our top ten markets are in Texas and St. Louis and Kansas City are both in our top 17 markets. Now is that a perfect approximation of fan interest? Of course not, but it does suggest that there's an awful lot of fervent fans that can't wait for SEC football to get rolling. It's also pretty good evidence that the SEC has added a huge number of fans for the foreseeable future. After all, there are 31 million people living in Texas and Missouri, the entire SEC population before expansion was just 50 million. So OKTC would like to humbly thank the SEC for expanding. Our site traffic eagerly looks forward to your teams in Virginia and North Carolina. Also, to forestall the, "That's just because of expansion emails," the traffic has been pretty consistent from those locations, not just spiking for expansion news alone. So let's dive in to the top 25 data here. |

Penn State's Conspiracy of Sandusky Silence and Cover-Up Proven Via Emails
Written by: Clay Travis|
|
Joe Paterno and Penn State officials conspired to protect Jerry Sandusky from prosecution in 2001 after Mike McQueary reported seeing Sandusky raping a young boy in the football locker room. That's the only conclusion that any reasonable person can draw from CNN"s blockbuster Friday night report uncovering multiple emails discussing the Sandusky incident between Penn State president Graham Spanier, athletic director Tim Curley, and vice president Gary Schultz. Based on the emails it appears that Joe Paterno was the driving force behind the decision not to report Sandusky to authorities. According to athletic director Tim Curley the decision not to report Sandusky was made after a meeting with Joe Paterno. "After giving it more thought and talking it over with Joe (Paterno) yesterday, I am uncomfortable with what we agreed were the next steps." Curley, a former Penn State football player under Paterno, buckled under the wishes of his old coach, calling an audible that led to a conspiracy of silence. A conspiracy, that was he still alive, would probably lead to criminal charges being filed against Joe Paterno. |

ESPN, FOX Advising Big 12 on Expansion, Adding Notre Dame
Written by: Clay Travis|
|
You know how the television networks always claim they aren't involved in conference expansion? Yeah, they're lying. How do we know? Because yesterday we finally got our conference expansion smoking gun. The Oklahoman uncovered memos from Chuck Neinas that specifically name networks, executives, and assess their opinions on Big 12 expansion. The network TV consensus from ESPN and Fox? Only Notre Dame is a positive addition to the Big 12. Quoth the Neinas memo: “Both representatives of ESPN/ABC and Fox Sports indicated that Notre Dame's involvement with the Big 12 Conference would increase the value of the conference relative to future television and also improve the image of the conference nationwide.” Oh, there's more. “Our television partners agreed that the only new member that would enhance the Big 12 value for television was Notre Dame,” Neinas wrote. |

Why Not Start the Playoff in 2013, a year early?
Written by: Clay Travis|

The BCS is dead. Long live the BCS. Yesterday college football's slow revolution came to a predictable close. Back in January SEC commissioner Mike Slive said that he saw a playoff coming. Nearly six months later, it's a reality. We know most of the details -- there will be a selection committee, the semi-finals will be played inside the existing bowl structure, and the top four teams will be chosen. Given the political parameters, I believe that college football's oldest generation got everything right. Except for one thing. The playoff doesn't start until the 2014 season. Which is confusing the hell out of an awful lot of fans. In this day and age how many industries announce a drastic improvement and then table its implementation for two years? |
