A spy on the L.A. set of a new Adam Sandler project has confirmed that Leinart landed an acting role in the untitled flick, featuring “Scary Movie” star Anna Faris. While sources claim Leinart is serious about the part, we’re told that he’s only shooting on days he’s not scheduled to visit his 9-month-old son with baby mama Brynn Cameron.
When contacted by TMZ, Leinart’s rep wouldn’t talk about the movie, but assured the Cardinal faithful that “Matt is focused right now on his way to training camp. He has a job to do with the Arizona Cardinals. That’s all we have to say about that.”
This guy is headed down the wrong road. He should be focusing on his NFL Carreer.

Reggie Bush had never been drilled like this in his life. In high school and college he had always been the best athlete on the field, too fast and too elusive to leave himself open to a clean shot. But here, in an NFC divisional playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles, his initiation came suddenly. A swing pass floated into the right flat, a flash of green helmet and white jersey, and now Bush was on his hands and knees on the turf of the Louisiana SuperÂdome, crawling in his black New Orleans Saints uniform like a small child, sent back to his infancy after getting blown up by Eagles cornerback Sheldon Brown.

he said he felt nothing…shepherd…he said he ran through him like he was cardboard

Here’s a stunner for NCAA fans who feel that the Hurricanes like to flaunt their individual stars: First-year coach Randy Shannon has stripped the names from the back of this season’s uniforms in an effort to continue his ”team-first” theme.
UM coach Randy Shannon is preaching discipline for 2007. ‘We’re held to higher standards,’ Shannon said.
Do you think he is making a statement that will change the outlook of the players for the upcoming season? Why or why not? Or is he trying to make his first mark in the program by just doing something to show authority?

He is 6′ 4” tall and weighs 250 pounds. You would think that we are describing a future tight-end. But this “freakish athlete” is a Wide Receiver.
“From intangibles to talent level, Jones is the total package,” says Scouts Inc. national recruiting director Tom Luginbill.
“He is polished, strong, gifted and the most physically dominating prospect in this class.”
Last year he produced 1,500 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns for Foley (Ala.) High School. He is now ranked number 1 in ESPN’s 2008 College Football Recruiting Top 150.

The Irish will play in Orlando in 2011 & 2014. No opponent has been announced. How about the Tide!? It would sell tickets, draw viewers, and broaden the reach of Notre Dame into SEC country. Alabama gets to play ND, and doesn’t have to travel outside Dixie to do it. Plus they get great exposure in Urban Meyer’s back yard, recruit-rich Florida.

In an article written by the associated press in April, they try to make it clear that college football recruiting blogs and websites are tremendous distractions to high-school athletes and staff. The article quoted:Â
“Despite their popularity, they are increasingly coming under attack by coaches and administrators who argue they heap too much attention on young, impressionable student-athletes.”
Bobby Burton, editor-in-chief for Rivals.com expressed the following: “All we’ve done is bring to light something that’s been going on forever.â€
Mr. Fumbles says: “It is not the blogs and websites causing the problems, it is the ego of players, staff, and coaches that make way for troublesum situations”, “Just because your name is Michael Vick doesn’t mean you can do anything.” (more…)

When you think about early college football commitments, you think Bobby Bowden. He gets the commitments and he get the players when he needs them, especially early. This year the Florida State Seminoles are leading the college football recruiting charge. The 2008 class for the Seminoles seems to have gotten off to an unexpected, flaming start with a lucky number of 13 commitments to this point.
Terrance Parks (Fairburn, Ga./Creekside), who is on the ESPN 150 watch list was added unexpectedly to the Semioles commitment list. Impressive! Florida State may be feeling some pressure from the Gators recent success, with hopes of making their own National Championship run in the near future. What do you think?

The first televised college football game occurred during the “experimental” era of television’s broadcasting history, when a game between Fordham University and Waynesburg College was broadcast on September 30, 1939. One month later, on October 23, 1939, Kansas State’s homecoming contest against the University of Nebraska was the second to be broadcast. The following season, on October 5, 1940, what is described as the “first commercially televised game” between the University of Maryland and the University of Pennsylvania was broadcast by Philco. Fairly sporadic broadcasts continued throughout World War II to brodcast games whenever they could.
