FORT WORTH, Texas _ Don't ask me about Ryan Perrilloux or Martellus Bennett.

I don't do recruiting.

I don't like it. I don't like to write about it. I don't like to hear about it.

If I want to read about the daily brainpan meanderings of pampered, self-absorbed 18-year-olds, I'll buy that Olsen twins video, thank you.

But clearly, this is yet another football season to many people. This, alas, is college football recruiting season, the unofficial first national championship contest of the new year.

This is the week. Wednesday is the day.
