Your Sunday Night Football Open Thread
Tonight, we've got the Giants and Eagles. It's another important divisional game and we've got two 2-1 teams. Right now there is a three-way tie for first place in the NFC East and no matter what happens there will be a non-Dallas Cowboys team in first place at the end of the night. So that's good. ...
ESPN Repeatedly Identifies Random Man As Former NFL Running Back Fred Taylor
Former Florida and Jaguars great Fred Taylor has a son, Kelvin, who like dad plays running back and is committed to play for the Gators.

Here Is A Baby Doing A Keg Stand
Police are still trying to determine if this is actually a baby doing a keg stand or merely the appearance of a baby doing a keg stand. Either way, it's pretty obvious that this could only happen at an Arizona State University football tailgate....
Michigan State Definitely Eye-Gouged An Ohio State Player During Yesterday's Game

The Zinedine Zidane Headbutt Statue Is A Powerful Homage To French Defeat
You've probably heard by now that France - a country that Lady Liberty would tell you knows from great statues - has unveiled one of the world's finest tributes to tantrums.

Here's The Catch Of The Day, From The Offensive Explosion That Was Baylor At West Virginia
Ooooh-wheee, that was a good one. It wasn't quite as close as it looked in the end—70-56 until Baylor struck one last time with about three minutes left, whereupon the Mountaineers were able to run the clock down—but it was back-and-forth for most of the game. West Virginia bled the clock partly w...
Steve Spurrier Wants A Columnist Fired And Will Probably Get His Way
Ron Morris, a columnist for The State newspaper in South Carolina, has publicly disagreed with Steve Spurrier before and been publicly rebuked before. Saturday Down South has a good recap of the situation; it's worth watching the video at that link if you want to see Steve Spurrier be both incredib...
Michigan State Fans Taunted Ohio State QB Braxton Miller With "He's A Pussy" After Miller Injured By Late Hit
Today's ESPN/ABC spotlight game (and the site of this morning's College GameDay) is a Big Ten matchup between visiting Ohio State and host Michigan State, and the game turned ugly early. When Buckeyes quarterback Braxton Miller went down hard on a late hit out of bounds—his head crashing into a st...
Either Mark May Or Lou Holtz Burped Loudly On ESPN's College Football Halftime Show
Caught off guard when they threw it back to the studio during ESPN's halftime report, somebody burped loudly and directly into their microphone. We're thinking it probably wasn't Rece Davis, because he was getting ready to talk and seems to transition pretty well. So it could either be Mark May or ...

Your College Football Open Thread
Our game of the morning is probably Baylor at West Virginia, though our shame expert (aren't we all, in some sense, shame experts?) told us to be on the lookout for a potential "DOUBLE trap game" in the N.C. State vs. U. of Miami game. Also look out for Penn State at Illinois, because Illinois may h...

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....
