U of L signed off on it, but Lamar did not. He said matter of factly that if the whole team couldn't wear them, then he wasn't going to. Hence, no Cardinals wearing Yeezy cleats this season. A gesture of camaraderie by Jackson, who's by all accounts a good dude. If someone were to try to give me shoes worth hundreds of dollars or (much) more, I do not think I would refuse to wear them unless my podcastmates also got them. But now, if that scenario occurs, I'll remember Lamar's example. He'd still get to treat his feet, wearing Fendi designer loafers to the Heisman ceremony (along with his phenomenal Macy's tuxedo coat) . He just wouldn't leave any teammates un-dapper in the process. CFB in your inbox, everyday, for free!

MP Tracy Brabin, who replaced Mrs Cox in her Batley and Spen constituency, said: "Beggars belief... A new low for Farage." Chris Bryant, the Rhondda MP and former shadow Commons leader, said: "The sheer nastiness of Farage sometimes takes my breath away." Chesterfield MP Toby Perkins added: "When your entire career has been built on hate, not hope, it perhaps shouldn't shock me, but Farage still sinks lower than I'd have believed." Jess Phillips, MP for Birmingham Yardley, wrote on Twitter: "I hope Farage never ever feels the pain we feel about Jo, because unlike him I am not a monster." Image copyright Twitter Image caption Brendan Cox responded to a tweet from Mr Farage, which lead him to make the remarks on LBC radio Mr Farage had taken to social media on Tuesday morning in the wake of the Berlin attack, which left at least 12 dead at a Christmas market , saying: "Terrible news from Berlin but no surprise. Events like these will be the Merkel legacy." The comment prompted hundreds of retweets and replies, including from Mr Cox, whose Labour MP wife was shot and stabbed days before June's EU referendum. Mr Farage also told LBC: "I'm sorry Mr Cox, it is time people started to take responsibility for what's happened. Mrs Merkel had directly caused a whole number of social and terrorist problems in Germany, it's about time we confronted that truth." The German Chancellor has hardened her policy towards refugees and migrants in recent weeks. In a speech she suggested stemming the number entering Germany and restricting the use of face veils . Germany admitted almost 900,000 migrants in 2015 after deciding to allow in those who had made it to Hungary. Legal challenge Following Mr Farage's comments the campaign group Hope Not Hate said it had asked the former UKIP leader to apologise or face legal action. In a statement, the group said: "We are aware of a serious and potentially libellous statement made about Hope Not Hate by Nigel Farage on LBC radio this morning. "We have no idea on what Mr Farage bases his outrageous comments.
