Well, it’s not quite “spygate,” as we know it, but apparently Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis has some explaining to do after a laptop was seen in the coaches box at their game in East Lansing, Mich. against Michigan State on Saturday.

The Pats defense watches Miami go 79 yards on six plays to take a 14-3 lead. Can somebody please tell safety James Sanders that he’s the 180-pounder and 250-pound tight ends like Anthony Fasano and David Martin aren’t going to run by him.
