Former QB Doug Flutie Hits The Big 50
One of my all-time favorite NFL quarterbacks is Doug Flutie. Even at a height of 5'10", Flutie could throw the long one, rush for that first down and score touchdowns. I saw him play in person a few times when he was quarterback for the Bufffalo Bills. Flutie will always be remembered for that incredible "Hail Mary Pass" as QB for Boston College in a win against the Miami Hurricanes. Currently, you can see Doug Flutie as a college football TV analyst for NBC Sports. And, I own a few boxes of "Flutie Flakes" breakfast cereal, of which proceeds went to the Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation For Autism.

The Football Penalty Flag Orginated On This Day In 1941
On this day in 1941, the penalty flag was first introduced into the game of football in the U.S.A.. Before the penalty flag, referees used horns and whistles to indicate an infraction, but the problem was that the fans didn't know that the game stopped because of a penalty.

When Tammy Faile and her two children were chosen as the military family of the game for South Carolina's match up Saturday against the University of Georgia, they probably expected some sort of message from their husband and father Sgt. First Class Scott Faile, who is stationed in South Korea.
And that's what they got at halftime, a video message on the University of South Carolina’s Williams-Brice stadium's Jumbotron.

Buffalo Bills Week 5 Preview – Is This The Beginning Of a Losing Streak?
I was at the game Sunday and it really did look like the Buffalo Bills simply gave up in the fourth quarter. One thing that really sticks out in my mind is while waiting to get past security, a Patriots fan yelled, "Who did you beat? Cleveland and KC? Whipity Doo!" I thought, good point. And now the Bills must take on another tough opponent Sunday, The San Francisco 49ers.

Flo Rida ‘Whistle’ Parody Spoofs Replacement Refs
There is a consensus developing that if NFL commissioner Roger Goodell doesn't bring back the striking referees soon, folks are going to stop watching football because the replacement refs have been so stunningly horrible. However, we're pretty sure this isn't true. In fact, the awfulness of the scab refs has now become part what makes the NFL so entertaining. (Granted, Green Bay fans or anybody who bet on the Packers Monday night would probably disagree.)

Football’s “Mean Joe” Greene Is 66 Years Old Today
If you remember the Pittsburgh Steelers of the 1970s, Terry Bradshaw and all, you'll remember "Mean Joe" Greene. Greene played for the Steelers and was part of the "Steel Curtain" defense. He's 66 years old today, but for all of his football fame, Greene may be best remembered for an emotional Coca-Cola TV commercial, where he shows kindness to young fan.
