Appalachian State's New Logo Might Have Been Drawn By A Child
At gunpoint, I'd say the guy on the left was a sea captain, or maybe the Gorton's Fisherman. With Appalachian State moving up to the FBS next season, they needed something a little more evocative of "mountaineer." So they're switching to the guy on the right, presumably after an intense design compe...

We saw an odd moment during today's Broncos-Chiefs broadcast on CBS when the network aired a clip of Denver running back Knowshon Moreno crying a copious amount of tears.
