Skip Bayless Finally Says Something Smart – Makes Great College Football Pick
Fox Sports pundit Skip Bayless predicted Wisconsin will beat Ohio State for the Big Ten championship. The outspoken Bayless recently said the following on his show “Undisputed”: I got Wisconsin in this game, which will eliminate all this hocus pocus about Alabama…The last three weeks I watched them crush Iowa, I watched them beat Michigan soundly and I watched them go to Minnesota. Minnesota’s not bad and they just crushed them 31 to nothing. This is a really good college football team that is extremely well coached on both sides of the ball. It’s the number two defense in efficiency in the country, and Alex Hornibrook is a very good college quarterback. Nice to see Bayless has finally come around and is not talking about some common sense sports points. It’s been a long time coming, but I’d like to personally welcome him to the team.

Charles Dickens Museum Defaced with Graffiti Branding Victorian Author ‘Racist’
A British politician has warned that “our culture is under attack” after reports the Charles Dickens Museum in Broadstairs, Kent, was vandalised with graffiti branding the beloved Victorian writer a “racist”. Charles Dickens frequented Broadstairs during his career, writing and basing some novels in the picturesque seaside town in the south-east of England. He had once lived in the clifftop Bleak House, after which he named one of his most famous novels. A large white house on Victoria Parade had been the inspiration for Betsey Trotwood’s home in David Copperfield . Now home to the Charles Dickens Museum, the Victoria Parade property was vandalised overnight with the words “Dickens Racist, Dickens Racist”, according to a Sunday report in the local news outlet KentOnline. Dickens Road was also vandalised, with Black Lives Matters activists attempting to blot out the name of the street with paint.
