Vince Young is back. No not with the Philadelphia Eagles. That experiment lasted but one season. No Young is in Buffalo where the former Heisman trophy winner out of Texas is now the new backup quarterback for the Bills.
This should be an interesting ride for Young. He is stepping into a situation where the Bills starter, Ryan Fitzpatrick, is an average quarterback at best. He had the Bills out to their best start in years last season, yet the team digressed and finished third in the AFC East.

In the NFL every player is always one play away from the end of his career. This is something each player lives with and accepts as part of their future. For Colt McCoy it may not have been the hit, but the hit his father gave the Cleveland Browns front office last December that may have predicated his exit.
The Browns ended the Colt McCoy tenure as quarterback when they drafted Oklahoma State’s Brandon Weeden with the 22nd pick in the first round Thursday night. However, in retrospect, McCoy may have been done on a Thursday night in Pittsburgh and the aftermath that ensued.

For the Cleveland Browns, it was supposed to be an evening of hope and excitement. It started that way, but in the end, it turned out to be business as usual.
The Browns sent three draft picks to Minnesota making sure they could draft Alabama running back Trent Richardson by moving up to the third pick in the draft. General Manager Tom Heckert declined to reveal the teams that talked with Minnesota about dealing for the No. 3 pick. He did say that one team made an offer to the Vikings, “and so we beat it.”

Draft Day 2012. The day all Cleveland Browns fans call their “Super Bowl” day. That’s because in past years all they have had to look forward to is the draft. But this year is required to be different than all others.
Browns fans find themselves restless, almost paranoid. That coming from one playoff performance since their return to the league in 1999. This is a drought most older fans haven’t been through before, and younger fans don’t know what it is like to watch winning football. But even worse, for most fans to remember a good and exciting team, they have to hearken back to the days of Art Modell, and that is a painful memory.

Is the Bill O’Brien party at Penn State beginning, or ending before it begins?
Court documents in the Jerry Sandusky case continue to be released. More and more this case grows as more victims are being found and charges are brought against the former Penn State Defensive Coordinator.
Not only has the prosecution found more victims, aging in the range of 8-17. They also have found more evidence this case spanned several years and several states. It seems this happened not only in Pennsylvania, but also in Florida and Texas. According to court documents, one student was abused in his own school.

College football conference jumping is close to being over. The Big 12 is losing two members but gaining a field full of money for it.
$24.8 Million. That is the combination Texas A & M, along with Missouri, will pay the Big 12 for the honor of leaving the conference and joining the SEC next year. The agreement will allow the two schools out in July.
Along with leaving the conference, Texas A&M will receive unspecified benefits from the Big 12′s new television contract with Fox Sports and other interests. Missouri waived any claims from the TV deal, which takes effect in July, and will pay the Big 12 another $500,000 to cover expenses for the past season’s officiating.

The NCAA has finally stepped up and announced that Oregon has allegedly violated recruiting rules by the way it used recruiting services over the past 4 years. What’s interesting about this is the coverage Oregon and Miami have received during their incidents.
Virtually none.
It has been almost one year since Miami was accused of receiving illegal payments from a convicted felon. Yet the media, specifically ESPN, has said almost nothing about the violations.
The NCAA has been looking into Oregon’s recruiting practices since questions arose over a 2010 payment of $25,000 to Willie Lyles and his Houston-based recruiting service. Lyles had a relationship with a player from Texas who committed to Oregon. Yet again, we have heard almost nothing.

Could the NCAA be close to a playoff system for college football?
Believe it or not it appears that might just be the case. The BCS is looking at all scenarios and the 4 team playoffs system seems to be getting the most talk. This would mean the top 4 teams in the country, this year that would have meant LSU, Alabama and Oklahoma State would have been in the playoff. There would have been a fight between Oregon and Stanford for the final spot.

Wednesday is National Letter of Intent signing day for college football. The University of Texas has been ranked with the Number One recruiting class this year.
This should come as no surprise to people outside of Texas. This is the best class a Television network can produce. The Texas Longhorn network has been funded by ESPN, blessed by the NCAA and upset an entire conference. It has led to Texas A & M and Missouri leaving the Big 12.

Brad Childress is back in the NFL. Childress has been named as the new offensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns. Needless to say, there are different opinions on this hire.
Pat Shurmur is the head coach and a former OC in St. Louis. Yet after his first year, with fans and the media screaming about his anemic offense, Shurmur gave in and brought in Childress. The same Childress that was fired in Minnesota as head coach.
