Remember about 17 hours ago, when the Arkansas Razorbacks lost to 30-point underdog Louisiana-Monroe in Little Rock?

Here's Rob Gronkowski Making An Ass Of Himself While Actually On The Field
We're used to seeing Gronk make a fool of himself on the dance floor or at bars, usually without a shirt on. Gronk flipped the script on us this week, though, after scoring a touchdown against the Titans. Gronkowski goes for his patented Gronk Spike and in all his excitement, it squirts out of his...
Robert Griffin III's First Touchdown Pass Was An 88 Yard Strike

Florida State Didn't Cover Against Savannah State Because They Played With A Running Clock And Ended The Game Halfway Through

The Tigers had been slaughtered 84-0 by Oklahoma State...
Are The Dolphins Really Super Bowl Contenders?
Oh my goodness, no. No, no, no. But it's the first week of the season! Anything is possible. In a few hours football becomes a reality, but for now, we can still dream.

Denard Robinson Had More Offense Than Michigan's Offense Today

The Savannah State Athletic Director Sure Does Hate His Football Team
Or least that's the way it looks in the short-term.
