Terrible time for taunting

THE all-about-me epidemic has its comically ridiculous moments. Saturday, Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield threw a long pass out of bounds to avoid a sack.

That inspired DB Ranthony Texada, the TCU player nearest to the ball, to wave his arms in an exaggerated signal of an incompletion — as if he were the hero of the play. At the time, TCU was down, 38-17.

Chiefs-Jets, Sunday, was another game determined by the misconduct of professionals — college men making mil- lions. And it’s no longer the least bit surprising.

Animated appearance of the week: NBA commissioner Adam Silver, in “The Simpsons,” announced that “with the first pick of the NBA draft, the Philadelphia 76ers select power forward Ralph Wiggum.”

Good show-and-tell from FOX and Brady Quinn, Saturday, quickly, clearly showing consecutive offensive holdings committed by Oklahoma against TCU that went un-flagged (Is that a word?).

The Tulane Green Wave, Sunday on ESPN2 against North Carolina, wore black Nike uniforms, “Green Wave” across the front of their jerseys. The Harvard Crimson now wear all black Nike warm-ups in addition to all black Nike uniforms.

Reader Allan Cairns estimates that Saturday’s Arsenal-Manchester United match, seen on NBC, all money totaled, was “the first billionpound game.” Say, let’s head over to the Bank of England for the guarding of the change.
