The next time the press complains about pay-for-play in college athletics …

Florida Gators embarrassment a few years in the making – A bit of myopic outrage by St. Pete Times sports columnist John Romano, in which “embarrassing,” “hopeless,” “depression” and “humiliating” describe how unacceptable it is that professional football team the Florida Gators have fallen so far as to lose four straight. Which hasn’t happened since the last time they lost four straight. Nearly redeemed by the image of fat, catatonic Gators fans in blue-and-orange pajamas, unable to lift the coffee mug as they watch the replay on Sunshine Sports. Wait — how much empathy is that supposed to elicit?
