How Jadeveon Clowney Got Nicknamed "Doo-Doo," And Is Not Sidd Finch
Via Tom Keegan of the Lawrence Journal-World, we get the best detail of Jadeveon Clowney's life yet: He was nicknamed "Doo-Doo" as a child for taking a shit in a swimming pool. It's humanizing, funny, and another reminder that Clowney is not Sidd Finch....

The Trouble With ESPN's Big Johnny Football Story
The most interesting passage in Wright Thompson's new and much-discussed profile of minor league football player Johnny Manziel comes about three-quarters of the way into the story, which is long and rich with detail, so that you could forgive a reader whose eye ran past it.

Oregon's New “Football Performance Center” Is A Decadent Monstrosity
The University of Oregon just opened a brand new $68 million, 145,000-square foot football facility that would make Ozymandias—but not Phil Knight—blush. It is completely bananas. Let's take a look at some pictures....
