Good Reads: Bad kids, Kobe, Monty, Lance

Mike Bianchi muses about the thuggery that is Florida college football. It includes this great line:
 
Jeff Bowden's scouting report on Miami's defense heading into the opener: "Attack Antrel Rolle and freshman linebacker Willie Williams. Their speed has been greatly reduced by the ankle chains."
 
 
Plaschke has been released from swimming coverage. What possibly could there be to write about in Los Angeles?
 
Stephen A. Smith laments the state of the NBA.
 
Wetzel takes shots at Kobe.
 
Bernie Lincicome makes Monty almost likeable. Almost.
 
Bill Simmons answers mail.
 
Mike Freeman was late for something. It feels like he wrote this column in 20 minutes.
 
Posnanski didn't write last night so, my below bet is a push.
 
Sally Jenkins, who co-authored It's Not About the Bike, pens a fine column on Lance Armstrong's coach/U.S. Postal Strategist. Armstrong himself put himself in good position to grab Tour No. 6 with a great showing this morning. Feeling generous? 
  
 
Was there nothing else to write about for Jacob Luft? 
 
Does this mean the bobblehead craze is over?

New York Times on Jeter and Arod's coexistence.
