When you’ve been battling brain cancer, outrunning a fleet of angry linebackers is easy. Even if you’re only seven years old.

Ten Best Super Bowl Quarterbacks Of My Generation

Eric Cornish — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:29:29 +0000

With the Super Bowl this weekend, and two relatively unproven quarterbacks facing off, it certainly doesn't look like the epic battles of the past like Montana and Boomer or Elway and Favre. Instead we have Flacco and Kaepernick, two names that have a long way to go before they're legends. Here is my list of the top 10 quarterbacks of my generation, which starts about 1989, the year I realized what the Super Bowl was.

Football Player Flips Over Would-Be Tackle [VIDEO]

Dan Seitz — Sat, 27 Oct 2012 19:34:48 +0000

There’s a lot of argument over this anonymous clip. Not about the guy doing a forward flip right over the person about to tackle him: That’s obviously a display of athleticism. No, some people think it was “staged” and others argue it happened spontaneously. We feel that all of this argument overlooks the fact that [...]

Liam Neeson Goes on 'Sportscenter,' Knows Nothing About Football [VIDEO]

Emerald Catron — Sat, 06 Oct 2012 04:02:57 +0000

Liam Neeson is a man who loves danger, which would explain why he went on ‘Sportscenter’ despite having no knowledge of football. The best part is when he asks to start over (they’re live), or maybe it’s when he drops an s-bomb, or maybe it’s when he admits he’s only seen two football games in [...]
