in Sports/Top Headlines by

The Tampa Bay Bucs brought in a new quarterback option Tuesday. Does that mean they’re about to ship another one out? The Bucs brought in a fourth quarterback on Tuesday, perhaps providing insurance in the case of trading Mike Glennon. The Bucs signed Dan LeFeveur, who has spent the last three seasons playing the Canadian Football League playing for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Montreal Alouettes. Before that, he was a sixth-round draft pick of the Chicago Bears in 2010 and…

Slow down. Take a deep breath. Allow some practices to happen. Then, if it’s warranted, you can name Luke Del Rio the starting quarterback of the Florida Gators.

How young is too young for a scholarship offer? At the very least, doesn’t a kid have to be in high school yet? Not according to the Florida State Seminoles, who have offered a scholarship to eighth-grader Drew Pyne of Connecticut. Pyne, a fledgling quarterback, is still months away from high school.

Colts’ quarterback Matt Hasselbeck still winning at age 40

in Sports/Top Headlines by

He was never supposed to be this good. He was never supposed to last this long. In the year of Peyton Manning and Ryan Leaf, he was an afterthought, just another flier in the sixth round. For goodness sakes, he was picked 101 spots after the immortal Jonathan Quinn. He was taken 15 picks after John Dutton. He spent a year on the practice squad. He backed up Trent Dilfer in Seattle. Yet, Matt Hasselbeck is still here. Even better,…

NFL teams can collapse after losing QB; ask 2014 Cardinals

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Peyton Manning is out. So is Andrew Luck. Tony Romo is finally ready to come back, after the Cowboys went 0-7 without him. Losing an elite quarterback can be devastating to a team. No one knows that better than the Arizona Cardinals. They are the poster child for how things can head south in a hurry when the main man goes down. Since the midpoint of the 2013 season, the Cardinals are 20-4 when Carson Palmer starts, 5-6 without him.…
