A season in review. Navy sailed mostly under the radar in 2009, as usual, right up until a Texas Bowl pantsing of Missouri on New Year's Eve woke up the country to one of the best Academy outfits of the last 50 years: The Midshipmen pushed Ohio State to the brink out of the gate, initiated the Charlie Weis Death Watch by stunning Notre Dame in South Bend for the second time in three years, beat Air Force and Army for their seventh straight Commander-in-Chief's Trophy and closed it ou…

Making the morning rounds. • Double the Tebow, double the media angst. If one Tim Tebow anti-abortion ad during the Super Bowl can get the culture warriors frothing, what are they going to do with two

Political Football Handoff or Fumble?

In September, when Jim Tressel’s Buckeyes lost at home to USC, Ohio State fell to a troubling 0-6 in recent years against Top 5 opponents. Tressel’s conservative play-calling and the regression of star quarterback Terrelle Pryor roiled Buckeyes fans. Some of the fears were assuaged with a Rose Bowl victory over Oregon, but it didn’t

After botching several snaps and struggling with his accuracy during practice this week, Tebow fumbled twice and finished 8-of-12 for just 50 yards in the Senior Bowl on Saturday. Worse yet, his scrambling ability (his

Between his hyper-scrutinized NFL audition at the Senior Bowl and his hyper-scrutinized turn in the most controversial Super Bowl commercial no one has actually seen yet, all eyes were on the Tebow Child all week long, even as the rock star quarterback battled strep throat on top of the barrage of criticism from all sides. Today, the gallery included more than 1,000 fans who began lining up before dawn for a chance at a mere glimpse at the great Tebow, perhaps an autograph, or simply to touc…

Despite the rough start, Tim Tebow's NFL audition at this week's Senior Bowl proceedings hasn't been a total disaster — Thursday's practice, in fact, was pretty clearly his best after four days in Mobile. With an army of skeptics already out in force, though, he couldn't afford to just keep his feet; he needed a knockout that hasn't come. Given their biases coming into the week, no matter what kind of counterpunch Tebow throws from this point, the first impression se…
