    We Congratulate "Florida Quarterback" On His Heisman Trophy

    One of the nice things about college athletes is that you don't have to pay them. Heck, it might be the best thing about college athletes. Seriously, look at them: They can put their bodies and lives on the line every week, and we don't have to give 'em nothin'. Amazing, right? And if they do really well, they might win the Heisman Trophy, and we can make even more money off them ... without even using their name! More »

    Tebow Wins Heisman, Loves Jesus

    I didn't watch the Heisman Trophy presentation show (what's the point?) but I've been assured that Tim Tebow did in fact win. As a Gator fan of some 20 years I'm quite happy for Superman, but I'm not going to bludgeon you over the head with my homerism the way Tebow does with all of that god talk. Of course it's hard to fault the young man for being so god damned pious and humble off of the field. The pimp-ish quarterback/superhero became the first sophomore to ever win the award that all but cements his future.
    Tebow, who beat contenders Darren McFadden, Colt Brennan, and Chase Daniel for the award to become the first sophomore to win the trophy, said he plans on entering the clergy now that his career as an athlete is done.

    Just One More Ornament For Tebow

    In a season in which the favorite for the Heisman Trophy seemed to change every week, we all seem to have reached a sort of consensus on the eventual winner: It's Tebow, of course. More »

    Troy Smith, Terror In The Skies

    Troy Smith might be the Heisman Trophy winner, but you gotta be careful with that trophy. Some people might think it's a potential terrorist device. More »

    Troy Smith's New Bronze Toy

    At 8:00 tonight, ESPN begins their coverage of what is consistently one of the least interesting events on the sporting calendar: the presentation of the 2006 Heisman Trophy. I could see myself tuning in for the last 10 minutes or so, but I can't come up with one good reason to watch any of the 50 preceding minutes. If you're holding out hope that Rutgers' Ray Rice will break in, flash both his middle fingers, and upset a dessert cart on Chris Fowler's lap, I understand, but I don't think that's going to happen.

    Heisman Trophy Export Business Is Thriving

    In my continuing quest to find even a small amount of football to inject into my life in the NFL offseason, I bring you this reader tip: Former Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch has found a home with the Toronto Argonauts. He joins all-time great (actually, I don't know how great they were in Toronto) Argo QBs Doug Flutie and Andre Ware as former Heisman Trophy winners who had careers that didn't go exactly according to plan.

    Sources Say Reggie Bush Turning Pro

    The Los Angeles Daily News is reporting that Reggie Bush will turn pro and is already being advised by Mike Ornstein of Reebok, who also used to work for the Raiders. When pressed to reveal their sources, the Daily News identified them as "pretty much anyone who watches any football whatsoever." More »

    Is there any chance Vince Young wins this thing?

    I really don't see it. The only outside chance Young has is if somehow, Leinart and Bush split the west coast votes, and that the east coast bias is far more powerful than any of us think. Actually, that wouldn't even work. It would have to be a Texas bias, or just an outright west coast hatred. More »

    Cha-cha-chaing With Matt Leinart

    Life is good if you're Southern California quarterback Matt Leinart. Not only are you a defending Heisman Trophy winner, and not only is the entire Los Angeles metro area at your beck and call, but you're also redefining the term "student-athlete:" Leinart is taking just one class this year. And it's ballroom dancing. More »

    How To Give College SIDs Something To Do Over The Summer

    As former sports editors of our college papers, we can assure you: There is no more loathsome creature than the college sports information director. Secure that what they're doing is important, believing they're really a part of the team, they wield their small-town "power" as if they truly hold the key to something great, as if all reporters are simply intruders on their imaginary fiefdom. (And from our experience, half of them end up sleeping with their interns anyway. But you didn't hear that from us.) More »
