SportsFilter: The Tuesday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
If it keeps up, the NFL will probably have to lower the mound.

It is still the Year of the QB.
I think it's actually pretty cool how the league has shifted its focus, and they've managed to open the game up some.

It's really a shame the way offenses around the league were so off kilter due to the lockout.

Does anyone think moving the kickoff up has changed anything and made the game more safe for the players??? Players are returning kids from the endline so unless it is out of the back of the end zone, returns are working the same.

Rex Ryan should be fined by the NFL for telling fans before the game, "It's probably not recommended that you wear Cowboys stuff, I would think." It encourages home fan idiocy.

Unless Rex Ryan is giving out footwear advice, he should probably shut his trap about things like this.

Curtly Ambrose gets into the Cricket Hall of Fame.
/Love one of the comments - "I was terrified just watching him". "No, I was terrified just listening to the commentary..."

What a week for quarterbacking in the NFL; 4 QBs with more than 400 yards, 14 with over 300 yards, and 12 QBs with a rating over 100.
