I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to put this or not....

So, there was an article on FoxNews about a photo of a 16' tiger shark supposedly caught in the Outer Banks:

The photo is a fake and turned out to be the work of a local photographer named Alex Lex. When you check out his Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/alexlexobx...ATnzY87Mj99MnVN0C4mWesEgeU0Dt-KwYrjvyTQiLNQFk - you find all sorts of photo shopped images, some rather humorous and others udderly ridiculous.
Anyway, down in the "related pages" section, look who's page shows up as the #1 suggestion:

Fuckin Facebook's algorithm nailed it this time.....

CBS Sports link title.

Urban Meyer takes TV gig, but how long will he stay?

The whole article talks about new gig at Fox Sports and a bit about time at ESPiN and coaching at Ohio State. Then the real powerful insight into why they chose the title they did.

It will be interesting to see whether Meyer is serious about television this time around, or if he'll suddenly find himself itching to get back on the sideline after another year away. No matter what he's thinking, you know his name will be mentioned as a possibility for any major opening all season long.

Atrociously written... So the predictions have been made including factors that obviously have yet to be determined? Since when have algorithms had beliefs? (I added underlining)


8 teams most likely to make the 2019 College Football Playoff

OK, it's kind of too early because it's spring game season, and training camp is months away. But the preseason predictions for the final four teams are out, and they're not based solely on performance or potential but a variety of factors, some of which obviously have yet to be determined...The biggest team notably absent from the Playoff Predictor's top eight is Ohio State. Perhaps the algorithm is factoring in the head coaching change too much or it simply doesn't believe Ryan Day can pick up where Urban Meyer left off.

Not that anyone gives a flip about what Dennis Dodd thinks but...

https://www.cbssports.com/college-f...r-clemson-post-spring-florida-and-texas-rise/

Some takes from Dodd:

#3 Georgia How do you wish to think of these Dawgs -- the team that had Bama down by two touchdowns in the SEC Championship Game or the team that was worn down by Texas in the Sugar Bowl?

#4 Oklahoma Quarterback U welcomes Jalen Hurts, who showed flashes of improvement in the little time he played as a Bama backup. The defense has to get better under Alex Grinch ... doesn't it?

#9 TTUN Shea Patterson's final season opens with the return of four offensive line starters. There are massive holes on defense with the loss of Chase Winovich, Rashan Gary and Devin Bush.

8. Jim Harbaugh will get his first win vs. Ohio State: Harbaugh's winless record as a coach vs. Meyer in the rivalry is going to sting Michigan fans for a long time, but the hurt will be much deeper if this year's Wolverines group can't get one over on Ryan Day's Buckeyes when the two teams meet in Ann Arbor, Michigan, at the end of the regular season. Coaching changes have added new wrinkles to this rivalry and while there are plenty of new pieces to put in place -- particularly on the defensive end -- Michigan should be the best version of itself by the end of the year.
