"Well, my bags are packed, I'm ready to go…"
I doubt heavily that Michael Beasley has "Leaving on a Jet Plane" on his iTunes shuffle, but the sentiment fits. On a CBS pregame segment on Saturday afternoon, the sublimely gifted freshman forward wryly noted that, "I may be the tallest building in this town." Meaning his college town of Manhattan, Kansas. After K-State's loss to Wisconsin, Beasley sounded very much like Mike Huckabee in discussing his college career, saying, "As of right now, I'm a Kansas State Wildcat."

Don't blame Beasley if he goes. Blame a system fostered by David Stern and acquiesced to by the NCAA that compels universities to be hypocrites and athletes like Beasley to be mercenaries.

And, finally, this CBS promo-inspired query
So there's this extremely high-profile, red-headed, sunglasses-doffing lieutenant with the Miami-Dade Crime Scene Investigation unit. And then there's this lower-profile forensic investigator with the Miami police who moonlights as a serial killer on another show on the same network. And so I'm just wondering how long until Horatio Caine runs across Dexter Morgan. YEAAAHHHHH!!!!
