The images were too disturbing to live with. The vision was just too harsh to overcome.

Johnson was not considered a serious challenger for the quarterback job during the…

FSU, Florida look to transfer quarterbacks

in Sports/Top Headlines by

What they want is a ready-made quarterback. What they want is someone to win now.

Glennon tries to solidify role with the Bucs

Josh McCown was terrible last year, winning only one game, struggling mightily to overcome an offense that was stuck in place. The Cleveland Browns were terrible. Not as bad as the Tampa Bay Bucs – no one was – but it was another year in which no playoff tickets were printed. This couldn’t amount to anything,…
