Wojo's Pigskin Picks: UM, OSU keep sights on rivalry - Detroit News. This is an OSU-Michigan tradition, but not one of his best efforts. Michigan's decade of struggles have taken some of the fight out of him.
Bandwagon: Once a national TV staple, Grey Cup now restricted to specialty channels - Ottawa Citizen. Ottawa notices once they have a team again which makes the Grey Cup (Ottawa vs. Edmonton for those of us in the States).
Cold Turkey - SB Nation. In which a man tries to avoid football for an entire season.

How Chicago tried to cover up a police execution - Chicago Reporter and The Corrupt System that Killed Laquan McDonald - The Atlantic

How America's Demographic Revolution Reached The Church - National Journal
Who said it: Donald Trump or Mr. Burns from 'The Simpsons'? - Washington Post. Harder than I anticipated. Satire has been eclipsed by reality.
Some Parts of America Are Aging Much Faster Than Others - FiveThirtyEight. Very interesting maps. This one doesn't bode well for the Great Plains, although some areas also lead in population under 20 (I would guess that skews Hispanic in the Texas Panhandle and Kansas, while it is Mormon in the Mountain West, Catholic in Mercer County, OH, Amish in Holmes County, OH and NE Indiana, and Dutch Reformed in Sioux County, IA and Holland, MI ):
