"Cuonzo Martin said he picked up a hint of a bad vibe as his team went through pregame rituals.“I felt some,” he said. “But I’ve been in games where I felt some and we played great, made a couple shots and played great. I felt in the scout maybe they looked a little flat. In walk-through, flat.”"

"The third Wednesday in December is a far cry from the first Wednesday in February in the world of college football recruiting, but it was still an important day for a Tennessee football program trying to revamp its roster.In a precursor to February’s National Signing Day, the Volunteers officially added a trio of junior college players but lost one of their more important commitments during national signing day for JuCo prospects enrolling in January."

"When his Texans face Peyton Manning this Sunday at Houston’s Reliant Stadium, Phillips will try to devise a defense that prevents the Broncos’ quarterback from throwing the four touchdown passes needed for the single-season record of 51.It would be the pinnacle passing record in a season filled with them. Remember when the 300-yard passing game was a significant single-game achievement? John Elway hasn’t been retired that long. This year, a 300-yard passing game has happened 109 times. Scott Tolzien threw for 339 yards in his first NFL start. Matt Cassel and Kirk Cousins came off the bench last week to throw for 382 and 381 yards."
