If you love the New England Patriots, then you’re going to adore this video. If you hate the Patriots, then you can still probably appreciate it’s entertainment value, though the idea might be a tad unsettling. (more)

ESPN announcers Mike Tirico, Ron Jaworski, and Jon Gruden are apparently a very chatty and broey bunch. That much we learned during a commercial break on Monday night’s Orange Bowl, when the three announcers’ microphones were left on during a commercial break. (more)

More mediocre teams than ever filling out too many bowl games for more than three weeks has turned college football’s postseason into a blur for just about everyone but family, friends, alumni and NFL scouts. (more)
