Tiki Barber's Life Just Gets Sadder Every Day
It's been six years since Tiki Barber retired from football, which means we've spent six years watching him desperately try and fail at becoming some kind of relevant media personality. Having washed out of the television business, Tiki is on to much sadder things....

As subplots go, the Alabama-Texas A&M game had an unexpected one from the end of the first quarter through the tense final minute: an errant extra point.

Welcome Back, College Basketball: Two Games Ended In Excellent Buzzer Beaters On The First Night Of The Season
It wasn't all imperiled basketball players and disappointed veterans on college basketball's first night back.
