Don’t want to watch some lawyered-up kid sit on his ass for half a game? Couldn’t care less about Notre Dame’s pie-in-the-sky expectations falling flat yet again or rising? Tired of hearing about Alabama’s 2014 recruiting class from everyone you share an elevator with? Then enjoy some of the other sports offerings available this Saturday.

  • The top choice has to be US International Jozy Altidore and his Sunderland teammates traveling to Crystal Palace on NBC just after Noon ET.
