Cam Newton Breaks Rookie Record
Panthers quarterback Cam Newton broke Peyton Manning's single-season rookie record for most yards passing in a season Saturday.
Manning's record was 3,379 yards. Newton came in needing 18 yards to break the record and did it with a 7-yard completion to Brandon LaFell on the game's first drive.
Newton was 3 for 3 on the opening drive for 20 yards as the Panthers scored on a nine-play, 80-yard touchdown drive.

illinoiscollege footballThe Illinois game is incredible! Northwestern really made it interesting today, but Illinois just scored to take the lead with 18 seconds left. I love games like this one!
Northwestern completed a pass downfield, then managed a few lateral passes, but the Illinois defense took them down. Exciting!

Kobe To Play In Italy?
With the NBA pre-season officially canceled, I really wouldn't be surprised at all if Kobe Bryant takes this deal to play in Italy.

Ski Olympian Commits Suicide
Sad world coming out of the skiing world yesterday, when it was reported that Olympian Jeret Peterson took his own life on Monday night.
Very unfortunate. I remember watching this guy in the Olympics. He was exciting, and very talented.
Not sure why Mindsay won't let me embed the video, but you can click here to watch him execute his famous move, the Hurricane.
Joakim Noah To Play In Europe?
Sounds like the Bulls' Joakim Noah may be playing in Europe next year. I'm going to be seriously bummed if a) this is true, b) the lockout leads to the 2011-2012 season not being played, c) Noah misses time with the Bulls.
Of course, if the season is cancelled, it will be a good way for him to stay in shape and in "game-ready" condition.

First Pitch
Evidently Mindsay won't let me embed it, but you need to watch this video of John Wall throwing out the first pitch at this weekend's Washington National's game. It's a truly pathetic attempt on John Wall's part. He may not be a baseball player, but he is a highly talented athlete. I've seen musicians and actors do a better job.
Metrodome Months Away From Being Fixed
The new head of the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission said Thursday that replacing the snow-damaged roof of the Metrodome would likely take five to six months, raising the possibility of affecting next season's schedule for the Minnesota Vikings.
Mother Nature can be a force to be reckoned with.

The Texas Bowl
Illinois dominated Baylor in the Texas Bowl last night. Loved watching every moment of it. They looked great. Hopefully they continue this next year.
Football at Wrigley
Today's gonna be a good day. I'm cheering on the old alma mater today at Wrigley Field. Yup, that's right...football at Wrigley Field. I think it's pretty cool.
Illinois hasn't really done very well this year, but Northwestern's quarterback is injured now so maybe there's a chance? Who knows.
My buddy is a Northwestern fan, so I'm hoping we win.

Illinois Falls To Michigan State
Apart from Illinois losing today, it was a good day. Mellow, relaxing, and simple. Woulda been nice if it included an Illini win, though.
Illinois has played pretty well so far, and I know they'll beat Northern Illinois today, but I'm not sure how successful they'll be this year. I just don't think they have what it takes when the opponents start to get tougher. Doesn't mean I'm giving up, though.
