#Prayers4Paris

Numerous sports figures kept the Paris attack victims and their families in their hearts through social media posts and in-game tributes, including LeBron James, Thierry Henry and Caroline Wozniacki. Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones was one of many college football players that honored those affected by drawing the #Prayers4Paris symbol on his cleats and Army took the field carrying both the American and French flag before playing Tulane. In hockey, the Washington Capitals played the Star-Spangled Banner before their game against the Flames on Friday but they projected the French flag onto the ice.

Another Huge CFB Weekend

Are you looking for a College Football Playoff mess? Here is your Week 11 rooting guide for maximum playoff controversy. These are the best signs from College GameDay's visit to Waco for the massive Oklahoma-Baylor showdown. Off the field, apparently Lane Kiffin interviewed for the Maryland job.

Leathernecks!

Western Illinois has an awfully rude men's basketball team. The Leathernecks spoiled the season-opener for defending national runner-up Wisconsin, upsetting the Badgers, 69-67 in Madison. The victors, following a last-place Summit League finish in 2014-15, were picked to finish last again in the conference this season.

Lovely Lady of the Day

Cheerleader of the Week: Sarah

Meet Sarah of the New Orleans Saintsations, who has some weird superstitions, such as wearing her lucky socks, and eating the same meal before games.

Sarah's celebrity crush is Phillip Phillips, "I love his music and he’s absolutely beautiful."

Pinerest is her favorite website, "It gives me tons of recipes and ideas for different dishes, and I love to eat."

Sarah says her worst habit is that she tends to overthink.

Most embarrring thing that's ever happened? "I had lots of costume malfunctions, from Santa Hats flying to bras slipping, it’s hard to fix those things in the middle of the Super Dome!"

...and finally, Sarah's one guilty pleasure is, "Chocolate."

The Rousey Factor

Former opponents explained what it feels like to face Ronda Rousey and one said fights "terrified". Rousey and her next victim, Holly Holm, threw a couple punches (more like shoves) at Friday's weigh-in for UFC 193. And then the undisputed champ called out Holm on Instagram. Oh, and Rousey also threatened to beat up Kim Kardashian.

Fallout from Fallout

The new Fallout 4 video game lets you be David Ortiz and smash mutants with a nail-loaded bat. However, the MLB is not thrilled about his inclusion, calling it a rights infringement.

Just Beautiful

Ahhh What?

No Love for Dunham
