Rex Grossman: Will he excel or be in hell at the Super Bowl?

Grossman: May need plenty of milk for SundayAccording to a recent Yahoo Sports Poll, it appears that 58% of Americans feel that the Colts will win this Super Bowl. We have to tell you, it's all going to be up to Rex Grossman here. If the Bears D takes care of Manning and the Colts in typical Bear fashion, but fail to put points on the board, like they usually do, the ball will be in Rex's hand to make something happen.

These questions remain, will he be able to come through in the clutch, can he come from behind if needed? Finally, do his teammates and coaching staff have confidence in him to put the game on his shoulders?

Terrance Kiel Pissed


Terence Kiel is pissed....literally. SAN DIEGO -- Chargers strong safety Terrence Kiel was cited for urinating in public last month, his second run-in with the law in less than three months and the eighth by a San Diego player since April.

Maria Velasquez, spokeswoman for City Attorney Mike Aguirre, confirmed that Kiel was cited and released by police outside a nightclub in the Gaslamp Quarter at 1:50 a.m. on Dec. 18. The case is being reviewed and no charges have been filed yet, Velasquez said. Kiel is scheduled to make a court appearance on Feb. 20

"It's very disappointing when you hear of things like this," Chargers general manager A.J. Smith said.

Kiel faces five felony drug charges stemming from his arrest in late September by Drug Enforcement Administration agents. The DEA said Kiel admitted to shipping at least two parcels of prescription cough syrup to Texas, apparently to be mixed with soft drinks to make a concoction known as "lean." -AP

It appears Matt Millen can do no wrong in Detroit

Seriously what will it take for Matt Millen, president of the Detroit Lions to lose his job? The man has been a total failure during his tenure leading the Lions to the worst record in the NFL during his reign in Detroit. How pathetic are they? They are 24-72 since he took over in 2001.

"I'll never quit," Millen said in a story posted Tuesday by The Detroit News. "I can't do that. I don't even consider that.

"It's the way I'm made."


Maybe Millen will draft another first round wide receiver again this year, Lions fans should hope not.

What the Lions desperately need is an offensive line and a quarterback, after they gave up on Joey Harrington, shipping him to Miami, it's obvious that John Kitna is certainly not the answer. The reality is that there aren't enough picks in the draft to help the Lions out this year and they can little afford another bust after Harrington, Rogers and Mike Williams.

It makes one wonder, if he hasn't done the job well in six years, is one or two more years going to get any better?

Nick Saban Lands Himself Back in College Football

Well, well, well, it looks like the almighty dollar does talk especially if there is less stress. Well, maybe there isn't that much less stress coaching at Alabama than in the NFL, in fact they could be pretty comparable.

In Tuscaloosa there is a certain expectation for the Tide to win 10 games a year, win the SEC and beat rivals LSU and Auburn. It looks like they have the right guy to do so. With a National Championship under his belt, the Tide have landed their wish for the New Year.

Who should hate Saban more, LSU Fans or Dolphins Fans? Saban did go to a rival of the school he did win a national title with just three seasons ago. Or is it the Dolphins, where he barely got his feet wet in only two seasons where he lead the Dolphins to a 15-17 record.

The debate is in, and only time will tell if Saban will remain at 'Bama long enough to turn the program around. Will he jump ship early or remain for the entire contract? After all, he did say for the last month that he wasn't going to Tuscaloosa. Saban has 8 years and $32 million to prove his worth.
