Summing up last nights National Championship “game,” in which Alabama beat Notre Dame 42-14, only takes a few key words. We've got, “routs,” from the New York Times, “bully,” from ESPN.com, “clobbers,” from CollegeFootballTalk.com, “what went wrong?” also from CFT.com, and, to tie it up perfectly – almost as succinctly as Brian Kelly's halftime interview, when he said, or prayed, “maybe Alabama won't come back out” – this brilliant tweet from Kate Upton.

The New York Times asks if we should be taxed for our negative actions using a theory developed by British economist Alfred Pigou.
