Indianapolis has allowed the eighth-most yards per game in the league, and the third-most points. Clearly the defense could use some work, and general manager Ryan Grigson is well aware. Speaking on the Jay Mohr show Thursday, Grigson said Andrew Luck’s six-year, $140 million contract has prevented the team from spending money elsewhere. “We have a defense that is a work in progress,” Grigson said. “And when you have to tighten up, once you have to pay Andrew what we did, it’s going to take some time to build on the other side of the ball....

That’s as viewers familiar with one of America’s favorite mockumentaries watching a recent Sunday marathon on Comedy Central noticed that the show’s “Diversity Day” episode was omitted from the rotation. Ironically, the politically incorrect episode satirizes contemporary corporate “diversity and inclusion” policies. It features the impetuous and chronic jester Michael Scott (Steve Carell) forcing his paper company employees to participate in a racial diversity seminar when, in fact, it’s his behavior that necessitates the training....

Concussions A concussion can be any number of symptoms that happen after brain trauma. The trauma can be a blow to the head, a sudden stop, or even being shaken hard enough. The symptoms can be headaches, nausea, balance problems, mood problems, and a multitude of other issues....

Without getting into the debate about whether that is the appropriate choice or not, it’s important to recognize the pitfalls of using external transcutaneous pacing. It’s far from a panacea. It’s a high-acuity, low-frequency procedure that brings more than its share of confusion to the emergency. To properly pace a patient in symptomatic bradycardia, one must make sure they fully understand the mechanics and the clinical use of an external transcutaneous pacemaker....

Whether we want to admit it or not, those rankings in the draft applet influence draft choices, if not by you than surely by some of your leaguemates (and obviously by those on autopick). If a player is ranked significantly higher (or lower) than in your rankings, chances are he’ll go higher (or lower) than you’re planning. If you play on both ESPN and Yahoo, you have to adjust your draft strategy and sleeper lists between drafts....

After the three remaining MLS teams in the tournament topped their Mexican opponents in last week’s first legs, the continental championship is getting an unprecedented amount of attention on both sides of the border ahead of the second legs Tuesday and Wednesday. That hasn’t always been the case, with interest difficult to generate in a tournament that has been dominated by Mexican clubs. It’s clear MLS teams’ first-leg success has added a jolt to the competition this season, and CONCACAF Chief of Football Manolo Zubiria said he’s encouraged by the extra buzz....

Rice stressed, however, that court cases regarding the matter need to be resolved first before the association changes rules she called “incomprehensible.” “We believe that students ought to be able to benefit from name, image and likeness but you can’t decide a program until you know the legal parameters,” Rice said in a telephone interview with USA Today’s Christine Brennan. DeCOURCY: Rice Commission’s report no recipe for success Two cases are going through the federal court system, according to Brennan: the so-called “O’Bannon case” brought by former UCLA men’s basketball player Ed O’Bannon; and a case filed on behalf of former Nebraska and Arizona State quarterback Sam Keller....

Bill Clinton could talk himself out of trouble again–and that drives conservatives crazy. In fact, the role the president plays in conservative psychology is one of the great underdescribed topics in the capital. To the right, he is an enigmatic, contemptible and, to some, even charming figure. This fractured view of Clinton helps explain why Republicans may be reluctant to stage passionate impeachment hearings. To understand this, you have to realize that there are three, not one, Republican parties at the moment....

The 30-second campaign spot posted to YouTube is titled “Field of American Dreams” and begins with the Texas Democrat sifting his hand through dirt in a field. He described how this is where his migrant worker parents were given “a shot at the American dream,” and how he became the first person in his family to go to college after working two jobs to put himself through school. “I know this land gave my family a chance,” Cuellar said in the ad, which does not address the raid....

They’re both champions (Albeit an interim title for McGregor), both undefeated inside The Octagon, and both incredibly gifted on the microphone.
