[Baugh] is said to have created the idea of passing a football through a tire he hung from a tree in his yard.

Who would've thought that, 90 years later, Slingin' Sammy's innovation would live on in the form of vomit-inducing Mike Ditka sexual innuendo.

@BruschisBrewsky: It yet another attempt to elevate his own ego, Jay Cutler proceeded to put his fist through not one, but two television monitors. No word yet on whether this will cause the Broncos to be more or less irrelevant.

We should all be so lucky to have the lifespan of two modern-day NFL linemen combined.
