First and foremost, if you haven't caught the ESPN Body Issue that came out Thursday, do yourself a favor and take a gander. It is an impressive spread on the most admired bodies of professional athletes and a reminder to us all that "Diet starts Monday!"

So you can plan your weekend and manage your 'tude effectively, here's a look at upcoming games this weekend, starting with college football where #1 Florida takes on #4 LSU. Big deal here is that Florida's QB, Tim Tebow hasn't been playing because of a concussion from a head and neck injury. Whether he'll show up on Saturday is anybody's guess. (Yes, we are still talking about football.) Another big matchup is #3 Alabama v. #20 Mississippi. Why? Both are top 25 teams. Anytime top 25 teams play each other, it tends to garner a lot of excitement. The same excitement you get from receiving flowers, only the top 25 teams playing each other is a much more frequent occurrence.

In the NFL, the Denver Broncos look to remain undefeated as they match up against the New England Patriots. Braylon Edwards will make his debut with the NY Jets and Ochocinco (formerly Chad Johnson) of the Cinncinati Bengals promises to do a "Ricky Bobby" dance in the endzone after scoring against the Baltimore Ravens. Not familiar? YouTube has plenty of clips from people more than willing to demonstrate.

In case you didn't hear, there's more Tiger lurking in the woods. Friday it was announced that golf, along with rugby will become official sports in the 2016 and 2020 Olympics, now making the games the Tiger Woods and Michael Phelp show.

Before you go, time for a quick recap on Thursday night MLB playoff resuts:
L.A. Angels beat the Boston Red Sox in game 1 and play game 2 Friday night
L.A. Dodgers beat the St. Louis Cardinals for the second time
Colorado Rockies beat the Philadelphia Phillies tying the series a game a piece
NY Yankees go for second win against the Minnesota Twins Friday evening.
