Yesterday, Brian Te'o, father of Notre Dame linebacker and Heisman candidate Manti Te'o, took to the Manti Te'o "Official" Fan Club on Facebook, which he apparently runs or has access to, to complain about the Honolulu Star-Advertiser's decision to put an AP photo of Manti Te'o, being bowled over by...

Oh, look. It's another Pittsburgh Steelers player being an outstanding citizen. (Hold your fire, Steelers fans. I'm one of you. Even wore this during my commute to work today.

Watch A.J. McCarron Pretend Not To Be Freaked Out About How Famous His Girlfriend Is Now

Nick Saban Is The Ultimate Freakshow
Nick Saban won his third BCS title in four years last night, and given the likelihood that he'll reject the idea of sucking in the NFL one more time, he's probably going to win a lot more.

Here Is A Bunch Of People Insisting Notre Dame Would Have Won Last Night If Not For The Referees
The Alabama Crimson Tide dominated Notre Dame in last night's BCS Championship Game. This really is not debatable. Alabama beat the Irish on offense, on defense, and on special teams.

As often happens during boring, blowout bowl games, the cameras and commentary shifted tonight from the action on the field to the stands and Alabama QB A.J. McCarron's girlfriend Katherine Webb.
