Fake Field Goal Follies

Over the long Thanksgiving weekend I watched about as much football as a person can handle. I caught a sweet Lions game, plenty of high school state championship games, a bunch of college football games, the outcomes of which were irrelevant because the computers know all, and finally a little NFL action Sunday.

By far the highlights of all the pigskin theatrics were a couple of fake field goals gone horribly wrong. First up, Nebraska lines up for a field goal against Colorado and....uh....oops.



That's just awesome. Now, the Raiders being the NFL powerhouse that they are, never miss an opportunity to find ways to thoroughly embarrass themselves.



Yes! Two for two on the tricky field goals. What are the odds the Lions try this next weekend? He probably wasn't the first coach to call this particular play, but I can't help but think that this is Les Miles' fault. Coaches, next time you think about pulling a fake field goal, kick it! Unless of course you have Steve Nash as your holder.

Roy Williams is Hilarious

Yeah, yeah, he says a lot of dumb stuff. Often. However, this time Roy Williams came through with something truly hilarious. And by hilarious I'm talking about the way Jim Rome says it; emphasize that hilariousness Jimmy! Anyway, Roy gets an A+ for his Halloween costume.

Williams came dressed as former Lions running back Tatum Bell, who made national headlines two months ago when he was accused of pilfering the travel bags of Detroit running back Rudi Johnson. Williams was wearing a bellhop uniform with a big name tag that said "T. Bell.''

Everyone remembers Tatum Bell's tantrum when the Lions were courting former Bengals running back Rudi Johnson. Roy even texted Tatum Bell to make sure the costume was okay with him. Tatum apparently gave it the OK.

Well played Roy Williams.
