The BCS Stinks, And If You Disagree, You Are Stupid

Hi my name is Pete Carroll and I’m here to tell you that this BCS business is total malarkey. Yesterday I was walking down the aisle of my local Trader Joe’s, picking up a nice organic energy bar when I thought to myself, “Hey Pete, you’re a great coach, and you certainly deserve to be in the title hunt, what gives?” Well, I’ll tell you what gives, three simple letters: B-C-S.

Former Notre Dame Star Brady Quinn To Star Tonight For The Browns

Following another strange few days in Cleveland, where football freakishness has ruled for years, Quinn, the former Notre Dame golden boy with Ohio pedigree and pop idol looks, makes his NFL starting debut Thursday night as the struggling Browns (3-5) host the Denver Broncos (4-4).

In front of 70,000 fans and an NFL Network audience, Quinn will get to live out the dream he has had since growing up in the Columbus area rooting for the Browns. He’ll face the Broncos, the Browns’ longtime nemesis, who have wrecked so many promising Cleveland playoff runs in the past. [AP]
