John Beck Ate It Hard
If we're going to declare the John Beck era a failure, we can't just look at the fourth-worst passer rating in the league (ahead of Rex!), or the twice as many INTs and TDs, or the zero passes for 40+ yards. We've got to ask: does he have the look of a quarterback: standing tall under pressure, prou...

The Jets-Bills Game, In One Flinching Sanchez And One Steamrolled Bison
Mark Sanchez is not a wide receiver. He is a quarterback, a celebrity, a franchise, a patron of the arts, a deviant, and a pitchman, but he's not a wide receiver. So when he lined up wide in the wildcat (and as for why the Jets were running the wildcat up 16 with three minutes left, your guess is ...

Mike Wallace Intercepted Ben Roethlisberger Pass Intended For Antonio Brown, Scored Touchdown
What a play by all involved. Big Ben scrambled and kept the play alive while Mike Wallace followed his quarterback, adjusted his route and made a big play. That only leaves Antonio Brown. OK, so maybe it wasn't a great play by all involved. Come on, Antonio. You looked as lost as Al Michaels sound...
Eli Manning Beats Tom Brady, Will Still Not Be Considered Elite: Your Sunday NFL Roundup
For whatever reason, Eli will always be considered just an "OK" quarterback. Maybe it's because he is a contemporary of some very, very good quarterbacks—one of whom is his big brother—or maybe it's because he is kind of a doofus. Either way, here's your Sunday roundup. Enjoy....
As Recently As 2009, Jerry Sandusky Was Running An Overnight Football Camp For Kids On Penn State Campuses
Of the child sexual assault charges against former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky, the fact that stands out most is that Joe Paterno, Tim Curley and Gary Schultz were aware of incidents as early as 2002. Curley testified to the grand jury that he "advised Sandusky that he was prohibited from bringi...

A Guide To The Child Sexual Abuse Charges Against Jerry Sandusky, And To Penn State's Alleged Willful Ignorance

Moments Later, Nick Saban Turned Green And Tore A Referee's Torso In Half
In what is turning out to be the most boring Biggest Game Evar, Alabama is tied 3-3 with LSU at the half in a game filled with hard hits and big mistakes—including three missed Crimson Tide field goals. That's not what has Nick Saban enraged (blame a missed penalty call for that) but you can see hi...
Jerry Sandusky Worked In Happy Valley And Other Memories
Some time ago, Jerry Sandusky wrote a book about his life. At one point, I am sure it made Tim Curley and the Penn State family proud. Now? I think they'd like to forget about the whole thing. Unfortunately for them, and luckily for us, the book was published, and like most published works it requi...

Aussie With World's Largest Collection Of Antoine Walker Memorabilia May Also Have World's Only Collection Of Antoine Walker Memorabilia
Matt Clarke from Australia calls himself the "biggest Walker fan in the world." (He's referring to former NBA/current Idaho Stampede player Antoine Walker, in case you don't share his passion.)
