THE MOST DISTURBING IMAGE FROM GAMEDAY THIS PAST SATURDAY

Corso: I'm just going to do this segment with the bag on my head now! 

Crew: [laugh] 

Chris Fowler: Well hey, let's go to [finger quotes] "Baghead" for his pick in the Oregon/Arizona State game. Lee?

Baghead The Morbidicious: I see flies. And a a radio tower. You're chained to the side of it. This experience will teach you humility with perspective. The condors may spare you. If they do, you'll climb down with a new appreciation of how fear and discomfort that chisel away the rock of human character to unveil the figure of a god.

Desmond Howard: What the fu---

Baghead the College Football Picker: But I fully expect Arizona State to give its bones to the wolf willingly today and repay its debt to the earth by returning to her icy bosom. 

Fowler: [walks off set and into the woods.]
