12 September 2010: Houston Texans running back Arian Foster (23) stiff arms Indianapolis Colts free safety Antoine Bethea (41) as he looks to gain a few extra yards in the second half of the Indianapolis Colts vs. Houston Texans football game at Reliant Stadium on Sunday September 12, 2010 in Houston, Texas. Houston won 34-24. — Houston Texans running back Arian Foster says he took money while in college. Surprise, surprise.

Revisiting Gainesville last weekend was a blast, and it is always nice to see the Gators beat up on Tennessee (for the 9th straight time). This weekend I am in Costa Rica for a good friend’s bachelor party. A lot of traveling, and who knows when it will end. This week on FORBES: (1) Former BMX Star To Launch Nutritional Supplement Line At Olympia Fitness And Performance Weekend; and (2) San Francisco Giants And Boston Celtics Recognized In Sports Illustrated’s ‘Twitter 100’ List. And as always, the weekly wrap-up:
