This Week's Sign Of The Apocalypse

Only One Person Replied When The Sun Belt's Commissioner Asked For Phone Numbers On Twitter [UPDATE]
Well, he only got one reply that actually included a phone number, and we're too scared to call it, so he probably was too. On Wednesday, the Sun Belt announced a one-game suspension for Arkansas State linebacker Qushaun Lee for an illegal hit against Alcorn State during their Saturday game. The le...

State vs. U. of Miami game. Also look out for Penn State at Illinois, because Illinois may h...
Warren Sapp Called Brandon Marshall A "Retard," So Marshall Filmed Two Video Responses, Sideways, While Driving
On his radio show last week, Dan Patrick baited Warren Sapp into saying some dumb stuff about "kids these days"—how about Cam Newton celebrating a touchdown when his team is losing?! What a glory boy!—and Sapp took the bait, hook, line and sinker: not only did he incomprehensibly declare, "These kid...

Purdue Intramural Quarterback Throws 30-Yard Touchdown Pass ... Behind His Back
If you're going to attempt a pass like that, there's no better time to try than when you're quarterbacking a flag football game in college, when you can always count on the defense to just sort of stand around and watch. That said, I'll bet Curtis Painter couldn't make that throw....
