Bears QB Jay Cutler Breaks Thumb on Throwing Hand! Out 6-8 Weeks

By

I've often said that starting quarterback Jay Cutler would get seriously hurt in a Chicago Bears game this season, but I didn't think it would happen on a night in which he actually had fairly decent pass protection.

Three SEC West Teams: LSU, Alabama, Arkansas 1-2-3 in BCS

New Illinois Athletic Director Mike Thomas said he won't make a decision until after the season is over, so I wouldn't expect to hear anything concrete until after the season's final game- next Saturday at … [Read more...] about 5 Biggest Reasons Illinois Should Fire Ron Zook Next Sunday

As the Penn State scandal has engulfed the nation, most of America is rooting against Penn State in every game they play. At least in college football. When it comes to the college basketball program, not many have anti-PSU vitriol. However, the 3-1 Nittany Lions men's hoops team did suffer their first loss of the young season today; and did so in extremely graphic fashion. … [Read more...] about Kentucky Wildcats Destroy Penn State Basketball 85-47
