Who got arrested? Who wrecked their car? Who got suspended for
drugs?
Actual football can be discussed here as well...

In a recent report done by the Wall Street Journal, there is a
growing sentiment among the NFL coaches and executives that the
once deep pool of quality quarterbacks is drying up. The
reason? Many of those in college aren’t being taught lessons
they will have to learn in the pros.
This year, according to separate interviews with dozens of NFL
coaches and executives, something disturbing happened in these
pre-draft quiz sessions. When asked the same basic questions,
many quarterback prospects responded with something NFL insiders
said they have never seen before: blank stares.
Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi said the new
crop of college quarterbacks were flummoxed by a simple question
about an “under” front, one of the most common defensive
alignments. “Whoa, no one’s ever told me ‘front’ before,” he
remembers one prospect saying. “No one’s ever talked to me about
reading these defenses.”
This is leading to a general fear that there will be a
significant drop off sooner than later in quality quarterback
play, which can spell big trouble for the league. It means
something may have to change. Either college programs must try
to incorporate more pro-style offenses rather than the rampant
spread attacks so many use. A true reassessment must be made
about the possibility of a minor league where players can be
better prepped for the pro game.
Or the time has come for the NFL to embrace new idea. As in the
men who field them, specifically the coaches.
In some ways the process has already begun with the arrival of
Chip Kelly to the Philadelphia Eagles. His fast-paced attacks
were legendary at Oregon and the scheme is still creating huge
outbursts of yards and points even as the personnel keep
changing. With him setting the trend, could the door be open
for other innovators like him?

Unbelievable finish to the Denver/KC game. Denver ties the game
on a TD with about 30 ticks left and kicks off to KC who fumbles
on the first play and run in for a TD 31-24 Denver.
