USC versus Texas was great, and so much more than we remember.

The Rose Bowl. USC versus Texas.

We remember how it ends. We might still recall the big plays that got us there. We definitely know Vince Young had an incredible night, and Reggie Bush’s lateral might have been a forward pass. And yet a game that ended in such spectacular fashion managed to overshadow itself, and we’ve forgotten many of the little details that made it so unforgettable.

After a few years of controversial... Читать дальше...

The basics: It’s intentional grounding if a QB throws the ball away to avoid a sack or to save time, hasn’t gotten outside the pocket, and doesn’t throw the ball past the line of scrimmage... Читать дальше...

Most reviews come from the booth, but coaches can initiate them, too.

Greetings. Maybe you’re reading this post while you’re watching a college football game that’s in the midst of a video review, which seems like it will never end.

College football started using instant replay to review calls on the field in the mid-2000s, first in specific conferences and later nationwide. The result has been more correct calls (good!) and more time waiting while guys in striped shirts talk on headsets (bad). Читать дальше...

Get this man some ChapStick!

Damian Lillard probably has a lot of off-season goals, but one of them should definitely be buying some ChapStick. A weird and wonderful thread on r/nba explored Lillard’s propensity for lip-licking, and the results are astonishing.

Houston’s Ed Oliver is going to be a monster in the NFL. He leads one of the best groups of defenders of recent memory.

Your detailed rundown of the NCAA’s celebration rules.

Only one more week before rosters are set. So who’s getting cut?

Week 4 of the exhibition season is a rest week for the players who’ve got their roster spots on lockdown. Instead, this final 16-game slate will be the last chance for fringe players to convince coaches and executives they deserve a spot on the final 53-man roster this September.
