Rex Grossman gets the start for the Redskins.... reminds us why Rex Grossman lost the starting job for the Redskins.

3-13, baby! We might get a top 4 draft pick!

Dammit Redskins, winning is not the goal.

Nice hire, OSU. Guess that's one candidate UNC won't have an option for.

Yeah, the state is pretty stoked about it. It was a needed "win" after the last year.

UNC posted a "Beat Duke" picture on OSU's Facebook wall.

Wow, OSU man-handled Duke (according to the intertubes, I didnt watch the game), and Big Ten goes up 4-2 in ACC/Big Ten challenge. B10 might win another year.

I figured that would make your day.

Duke was never in the game. It was a blowout from start to finish. Coach K looked pissed afterwards. He actually sat 2-3 starters for almost the whole game.

It was so bad that Thad Matta put in subs with 4 minutes left. He NEVER does that.

OSU will get another test soon when they head to Kansas.

And yeah, the B1G is loaded again this year.

Great question. I don't think they ever will.

This guy is just a piece of garbage.

However, I'm posting it because right in the middle of the article, there's a sentence that makes you do a double take, and think "WTF?"

One of the women in the vehicle is quoted in the police report as saying she told Suh that she needed medical attention. She said Suh refused her request and told her she was fine. She then walked down the street and had her husband pick her up and take her to a hospital.


That immediately made me want to know who she was and why she was in the car.

What a fixed game. Vikings against Lions. How the hell did they miss the quarterback getting facemasked on the last play.

SERIOUSLY?!
Tim Tebow led the Broncos to another comeback victory, with Matt Prater’s 51-yard field goal with 8:34 left in overtime giving Denver a 13-10 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

It was Denver’s sixth straight win, and half of them have come in OT since Tebow was promoted to starter.

After failing to score on their first 11 possessions, the Broncos (8-5) erased a 10-0 deficit in the final 2:08 of regulation.

Tebow hit Demaryius Thomas with a 10-yard touchdown pass, then got the ball back with 58 seconds left and drove Denver downfield for Prater’s kick.

The Bears (7-6) won the toss in overtime and were in field goal range when Marion Barber coughed up the football at the Broncos 34 and Elvis Dumervil recovered

Titans accuse Saints of cheating.

This could actually be quite serious, especially if the Titans do have it on tape.

The final sentence of the article is an interesting shot at another coach:
For what it’s worth, Sean Payton and Bill Belichick are close friends.

Detroit and New Orleans SUCK
There's two cities, like, I don't go out to eat or don't do anything. It's Detroit and New Orleans. New Orleans looks like I'm driving through a third-world country every time I get off the plane. I'm like, 'Oh, flak jacket.' I'm trying to get down. I'm like, 'Ah, crap, I can't carry my gun here. This sucks.'

People are just loving this play. And when I read the article about it's legality, it wasn't for what I thought it would be. When I watch the play, the linemen never set. Some are pointing and looking around. They don't move their feet, but they are never stationary. Do they not have to be because they are standing? You only have to get 'still' if you take a three point stance? Anyone know the rules? I thought everyone had to be motionless when the ball is being snapped. Except when 'in motion' or the QB. They seem to get away with a lot. But again, are linemen aloud to be pointing and talking when the ball is snapped?

According to wikipedia, they have to be set, and the center was the only set player.

I was watching that live, and was just like what-what?

If you watch, Cam's fake didn't fake anyone. The defense was simply caught off guard by the standing O linemen, and the RB beat them to the outside.

Ohio St gets 1 year bowl ban.

Funny how they didn't get banned from the bowl the year they discovered this stuff.
