Official <em>Monday Night Football</em> Twitter Account Accidentally Links To German News Story About Brutal Nightclub Death
Apparently, ESPN's Monday Night Football broadcast runs some Twitter contest that amounts to "What player is Jon Gruden thinking of right now?" Last night, Gruden was thinking of San Francisco's NaVorro Bowman, which user @DanShedd correctly guessed. The MNF crew congratulated Dan on Twitter, told h...
Your Monday Night Football Open Thread
Chicago at San Francisco: So, this might have been a decent game but neither starting quarterback will be playing due to concussions. Instead it's Jason Campbell and Colin Kaepernick. Yikes. Kaepernick did surprise the Jets earlier this year with some solid Wildcat-esque play, but presumably the Be...
Maryland And Rutgers Are Joining The Big Ten Because They Have To
As expected, the Big Ten will now be 14. Maryland and Rutgers have let it be known they plan to abandon the ACC and the Big East, respectively, beginning in 2014. The motivation for all involved is plain: The Big Ten gets more of an East Coast footprint, and one that kinda-sorta touches the D.C. and...

Arizona Quarterback Returns From Concussion, Promptly Pukes Again
Remember Matt Scott? He's the Arizona quarterback who unleashed a flood of vomit after a helmet-to-helmet collision against USC a few weeks ago. Wildcats coaches asserted Scott was fine and did not, in fact, suffer a concussion during that game—but he did suffer one the next week against UCLA. Tha...

Why Does Everyone Care Which Exit Lane Kiffin Used When He Left The Visitor's Locker Room Last Night?
Yesterday afternoon's much-hyped grudge match between USC and UCLA went in the Bruins' favor immediately, and for good; the score was 24-0 midway through the second quarter, and, despite a spirited comeback to bring the Trojans within three, UCLA won by 10. The Bruins have the better record in the P...
Kansas State Gets Blown Out By Baylor And Oregon Falls To Stanford At Home As The Top Two BCS Teams Get Their First Losses On The Same Night
A week from college football's end-of-season reckoning and Kansas State and Oregon, ranked first and second respectively in the BCS standings going into today's games, have taken their first losses of the season.

"There Is No Such Thing As Flop!": Watch Les Miles Angrily, Then Happily, Then Jokingly, Praise His Team After A Narrow Victory
Les Miles goes through an emotional spectrum here that surpasses even the most skilled practioners of the dramatic arts—it's forceful, angry, instructive, happy, endearing, eloquent, then a little angry again, then back to happy—some of these feelings are just plain unidentifiable. They are feelin...
Odell Beckham, Jr.'s 89-Yard Punt Return Tied Things Up For LSU Against Ole Miss
In a run that reminded old-timers of Billy Cannon's feat against the Rebels in 1959, LSU's Odell Beckham, Jr. sprinted 89 yards on a punt return to tie things up between the Tigers and Ole Miss this afternoon and lending life to a seventh-ranked team that had up to that point left a usually "Deaf"...
The Mismanaged, Crazy Jets Might Be Keeping Tebow On The Bench Because They Can't Afford The Incentives In His Contract
One of the great things about the Jets this year—the only great thing, perhaps—is that by dealing for Tim Tebow, emphasizing the extent to which they'd use him (they said it would 25% of snaps), and not using him nearly that much (it was 10.1% before week ten and inched slightly higher after), they'...
Fingers Are Not Supposed To Look Like Georgia Southern's Valdon Cooper's Finger Looks
FCS squad Georgia Southern has already got their work cut out for them, facing the Georgia Bulldogs in one of today's many "guarantee" games.

Don't Worry, Rest Of College Football, Alabama's Only Getting The Leading High School Rusher Of All Time Next Year
It's been a good week for college football teams not named "Alabama" because they've been able to bask in the notion, however mistaken, that the gap Alabama between themselves and Alabama is closing. A loss to Texas A&M dropped the Crimson Tide to a previously unthinkable 9-1, and now the team finds...
