Not the uniform the Jets were expecting Rogers to be wearing this season.

I think that the Lions were in the 1957 NFL championship game, but it may not have been televised.  Very impressive that you know this, Noetsi. It was indeed the last time the Lions were in a championship game. But I can assure you it was televised, because it is the first NFL championship I can remember watching. My team, the Cleveland Browns, whose history at least over the last 60 years is almost as dismal as the Lions, got obliterated 59-14. Jim Brown was a rookie sensation who got off one good run in that game, a 29-yard TD gallop, but otherwise was held in check. The Browns had been a very successful team for the previous decade and were heavy favorites, especially with the Lions HOF QB Bobby Layne out with an injury. It was a tough afternoon for me and my gridiron heroes (and it was played in the afternoon, like all NFL games were back then.) I watched it on my grandparents' luxurious 17-inch Zenith black and white television -- that was a good-sized screen at that time. I remember that one of the broadcasters was Red Grange, who even then seemed like ancient history to me. I am s viking fan. I have waited a half century for a super bowl win. |

LSU looking good today, rizz. And, on the road! Too many disgruntled fans after the shellacking by Florida State in the season opener. The Tigers' fanbase is very fickle. The old joke is that the perfect season for a Tiger fan is to win the National Championship, go undefeated, and fire the head coach. |

Florida beat The Vols. They ran the ball well and the defense came up big. Might have a better season than I thought.

After a lackluster 17-3 win over South Florida, Alabama is out of the AP Top Ten for the first time in 128 weeks, dating back to September 2015. It's the second-longest such streak since the AP started rankings in 1936. The longest is 137 weeks, by Miami, from 1985-1993.
Georgia now has the longest active streak at 37 consecutive weeks.
Colorado continues to be maybe the biggest story in college football, now at 3-0 and ranked 19th by the AP. I've been following college football since 1957, and I'm sure I don't remember Colorado ever getting this much publicity, even when they won a national title in 1990 or when QB Sal Aunese fathered a child with the daughter of head coach Bill McCartney (and soon afterward tragically died from stomach cancer at age 21.)
Deion has a way of finding the spotlight.

Penn State destroys #24 Iowa 31 to 0. I haven't seen this kind of a defensive performance by Penn State in a long time.
Penn St had 28 first downs to Iowa's 4 and outgained them 397 to 76.
Two of the craziest stats: Penn State ran 97 plays to Iowa's 33 and the time of possession was 45:27 to 14:33. You just rarely see that kind of domination in big time college football.
