Detroit’s Stephen Tullock sacked Aaron Rogers yesterday. He got up and did a discount double check, and managed to to blow out his ACL.
Out for the season.…

Someone Explain Tim Tebow to Me
Tim Tebow is a conundrum, that’s for sure. He had seven or eight plays yesterday that were amazing. Against perhaps the best defense in the league.
Then, for the rest of the game, he looked approximately the way I would have out there.
But the seven or eight plays were enough to get the Denver Broncos the victory. I can’t explain it.

Vince Young to the Eagles
All indications are that Vince Young and the Philadelphia Eagles have reached a deal for a one year contract, just one day after he was released by the Tennessee Titans (who are now dead to me).
Not bad considering the rumors yesterday that the market for Vince was drying up. It seems a whisper campaign by Jeff Fisher can only do so much.
In any case, I’m conflicted on this deal.
On the one hand, it could be a great …
Jerry Jones could learn something from Mark Cuban
Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, and Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, have a lot in common. They both have egos as big as the city of Dallas.

Don Meredith Passes
It has just been reported that former Dallas Cowboy and long-time sports announcer Don Meredith has died of a brain hemorrhage. He was 72.
Meredith played quarterback for the Cowboys from 1960 to 1968.
That was before my time, but I remember him for his work as a sportscaster, most notably for Monday Night Football from 1977 to 1984. MNF has never been as good as it was with Meredith and Howard Cosell.
Meredith’s wife, Susan, and his daughter were …
Separated at Birth: Brad Childress and Les Grossman
During last weekend's game between the Minnesota Vikings and the New Orleans Saints, the Wife observed on the striking resemblance between Brad Childress, the Minnesota head coach, and Les Grossman, Tom Cruise's character from Tropic Thunder.
I had to agree.
Dallas Cowboys’ First Preseason Game
I stayed up way past my bed time last night to watch the entire Dallas Cowboys preseason game against the Oakland Raiders. Here are are some of my thoughts.
The audio for the telecast was awful. Sounded like it was coming across an old am radio.
The starting Dallas offense looked quite good. Romo spread the ball around well, and the timing was on for everyone, especially for a first game.
Top Ten Best Football Movies
Football season is long over. Even the fill-in-the-gaps events of the draft, recruiting and spring football are done for the year. And there are more than three months until football starts back up.
One way to fill the long hours until football returns is by watching football movies. Here, in my opinion, are the ten best.
