How the Terrelle Pryor Rule hurts God Two questions: Would the latest NCAA rules change have happened if Tim Tebow still had eligibility? Is Michael Vick to blame? Here are details, as the Wiz of Odds put it:
You might recall Terrelle Pryor's tribute to Michael Vick in Ohio State's opener last season against Navy. The words "Mike" and "Vick" were written on his eye black.
Vick wasn't alone. Tim Tebow got his faith-based message across each game, and countless other players had a message for viewers, from an area code or simple shout-out to mom.
Those days are coming to an end.
The Football Rules Committee, meeting in Fort Lauderdale, voted to require players who wear eye black to use solid black with no words, logos, numbers or other symbols. The rule will be in effect for the 2010 season, pending approval by the Playing Rules Oversight Panel. The oversight panel regularly rubber stamps recommendations by the rules committee. Other rules changes include a crackdown on taunting. Players who draw flags for taunting gestures on their way to a touchdown would have the penalty assessed from the spot of the foul, taking away the score. Penalties that occur in the end zone would continue to be assessed on the extra-point attempt, two-point conversion try or ensuing kickoff. That proposal, which received near-unanimous support, would take effect in 2011. The committee also agreed to stringent standards on players who have suffered a concussion. Such players will now have to be cleared by a doctor before returning to competition. TV monitors will be allowed in coaches' booths in press boxes beginning in 2011. Feeds and equipment for home and visiting teams must be identical. There will also be a requirement for a 10-yard buffer zone for pregame warmups. A no-player zone will be mandated between the 45-yard lines 60 minutes before kickoff.
Most enduring Super Bowl images ... and the 10 best commercials
As SportsByBrooks put it: Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints made it impossible to be a cynical media-type tonight.

Washington AD Scott Woodward recently assured Allen that both conferences have been in contact with the Texas schools.Woodward also talked about expansion and said the Pac-10 and the Big Ten have reached out to officials at Texas and Texas A&M. “I’d be surprised if our office is not in contact with them,” he said. “I’m sure those conversations have happened and are taking place.”
When asked if the league might expand beyond two teams, Woodward said that’s a possibility. “It could be two, four or a merger of Big 12. … There’s a theory that at the end of the day there’s only going to be four super conferences. Now that it’s going to look like, God only knows.”
On the subject of Texas joining either league, only a naked money grab would explain the Longhorns escaping the Big 12.
But like the NCAA going to 96 teams for its hoops tourney, will the financial reality of non-revenue sports gushing red ink motivate Texas to swap conferences? I would be stunned, but so long as athletic budgets are wildly overextended, anything is possible. We all remember the Boom Goes The Dynamite sports anchor, of course. Well, say hello to Jon Janikowski. He makes you cringe and laugh and cover your eyes all at once.
All in all, though, it is epic:
Premise of Video: (from the vlogger) While celebrating team Canada’s gold medal hockey victory over team USA on Granville street in Vancouver, the police ordered a man down from a skytrain station entrance. The man would not comply with their demands. In an effort to escape, he rallied the thousands of people around him before leaping off the skytrain station entrance. EPIC FAIL!
Climax of Video: The guy jumps off the train entrance roof. Use your imagination.
Conclusion: He figured “What the hell, I’ve got free health care, eh?”
