Trell's Race for the Heisman Rankings Week 2 edition

By -
1. Jameis Winston FSU ( 25-40 370 yards 1 TD 2 INT | 1 rush TD) Jameis may not have look flawless but after a long offseason and being a stud on the baseball field maybe fatigue played a factor. Nevertheless, Winston's 28 yard touchdown scamper in a close game is a nice way to impress early Heisman voters. If Jameis Winston's off the field troubles don't catch up with him, this could be the start of a back-to-back Heisman campaign.

 2. Marcus Mariota ORE (14-20 267 yards 3 TD | 43 rush yards 1 TD) Marcus Mariota services were only needed for the 1st half versus South Dakota but that's all it took for Mariota to show the country that he hasn't lost a step. If Mariota has a big game versus #7 Michigan St., expect Marcus to become the front-runner in a two man race to begin the season.

3. Todd Gurley UGA (15 car 198 yards 3 TD | 100 yard kick return TD) Gurley destroyed a #16 ranked Clemson that some predicted as a dark horse to make the playoffs.  After coming off a season full of injuries, Todd Gurley showed that he is next in the line of SEC running backs to compete for a Heisman. Keep making plays on special teams and hos spot in NYC will be a lock.

 Dark Horse Kenny Hill TAMU (44-60 511 yards 3 TD) If you take a look around the country you will quickly notice that Kenny Hill had the biggest shoes to fill at quarterback. Being Johnny Football's successor could have been a rocky road but "Kenny Trill" silenced all doubters with a school record 511 passing yards versus a top 10 South Carolina team on the road.  It will be hard for Hill to maintain these numbers in the SEC West but he definitely has Heisman voters tuned in.

The NFL has Failed Colin Kaepernick.

Google Why hasn't any NFL team signed Colin Kaepernick yet or will they for that matter? Does he even deserve another chance ? It's hard to make a case for him as of late, I mean in his last 24 starts he is just 4-20 which is awful to say the least. But lets be honest the San Fransico 4'9ers are an awful organization that was doomed the day they let Jim Harbaugh walk out the door. He was put into a position to fail as a quarterback over the past 2 seasons. So yes this man deserves another shot in the NFL. Since 1995 the 4'9ers have reached one Super Bowl and guess who was the quarterback? That's right Kaep!! He has 72 career touchdowns to just 30 interceptions, 2300 career rushing yards. In his first career post season game he totaled 444 total yards of offense with 4 touchdowns. This guy is a stud and you mean to tell me he can't even be a back up? Its not what's happening on the field because guys like Jay Cutler, Nick Foles, Blaine Gabbert, keeping f

By -
Last night the Golden State Warriors clinched their 3rd consecutive number 1 seed in the western conference playoffs with a 12 0-111 victory over the Phoenix Suns.  Stephen Curry finished the game 8-13 from 3-point range on the way to 43 points and 11 assist. Klay Thompson chipped in 22 points as the Warriors win their 13th straight game. During the Warriors winning streak Stephen Curry is 26.3 points and assist per game and shooting 46% from the 3-point line. As a team Golden State has figured out how to play at a high level despite losing their leading scorer Kevin Durant a little over a month ago. Losers of 4 out of their first 6 games without KD, the Warriors average margin of victory during their the streak is 15.3 points per game. Also with the win, Golden State become the 1st NBA team to win 65 games for 3 straight seasons. The Warriors have been the best team in the NBA since Steve Kerr took over 2 seasons ago. After adjusting to the Durant injury this team looks unbeatable

Tony Romo Retires

By -
ESPN reports this morning that Tony Romo, former Dallas Cowboy starting quarterback will announce his retirement to pursue a career in broadcasting. Last season Romo's season was cut short due to a compressed fracture in the L1 vertebrae. While sidelined, Rookie Dak Prescott led Dallas to a 13-3 record, best since the 2007 season. Rumors swirled about trading Romo to the Texans, Broncos and a couple of more team. Romo will become the 5th lead commentator for CBS after taking Phill Simms spot. Don't think for a second this is a decision based on Tony's ability to still play football. He has plenty of game left. Romo would start in Denver, Houston, and Cleveland right now. Being in this position at CBS is a once in a lifetime opportunity. At 36 years old, and multiple season-ending injuries, it was time to think about life after football. Tony Romo is charismatic, well-spoken and will be a great addition to the CBS family.
