TCU Reveals Black Football Helmets for Oklahoma Game
Ahead of our time like we live our whole lives backwards. Same team. New look. #BlackoutTheCarter pic.twitter.com/zlwPL2Gjir— TCU Football (@TCUFootball) September 29, 2016
TCU revealed their "special" black helmets they will wear this week vs Oklahoma. While I'm not a huge fan I'm sure the Horned Frogs recruits and players will love them. More importantly they would love a win with them wearing the black lids.

Carson Wentz Spent His Off Week Hunting in North Dakota and Scoring His First Buck
What do you do on your bye week? You get your first bow buck! Thanks @DougBurgum for the help!!! #ndlegendary #Sitka pic.twitter.com/QQQCN6TL70— Carson Wentz (@cj_wentz) September 29, 2016
What can't Philadelphia Eagles rookie QB Carson Wentz do? Wentz not only has the Eagles 3-0 while playing almost flawlessly he went back to his home state North Dakota and got himself his first buck. Whether it's on the gridiron or in the open North Dakota fields Wentz doesn't miss an open target.

Tim Tebow Hits Home Run in First Pro At-Bat
I was one of the first of many to doubt Tim Tebow and this whole pursuit of a baseball career. But in his first at-bat and even the first pitch he saw Tebow took a fastball and knocked it over the left centerfield fence. I don't care who you or what competition you are facing that's impressive. Maybe Tebow does have a chance to make the Mets in the future and not just keep himself in the reality spotlight.

Heisman Watch: Week 4
Not much has changed 4 weeks into the season with our top 5 including the leader at the top of the watch list.
1) Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville - A week after the statement game vs FSU saw Action Jackson again put up insane numbers vs the Thundering Herd of Marshall. 7 total touchdowns (5 passing, 2 running) pushed his total season to 25 which is more than every team in college football except one. He gets another chance to widen his Heisman lead this week in Death Valley with College Game Day there.
2) Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford - Not a great game for McCaffrey vs UCLA in primetime after being hyped up all week by ESPN on all platforms. He didn't score a TD for the first time this season but still managed to rush for 138 yards in a huge come-from-behind victory vs UCLA. McCaffrey will get a chance to prove himself yet again in a primetime matchup vs Washington, a top 10 oppenent, on Friday Night.
3) Donnel Pumphrey, RB, San Diego State - Bye week for the nation's leading rusher.
4) J.T. Barrett, QB, Ohio State - Bye week for the Buckeyes as they prepare themselves for Rutgers.
5) Greg Ward, QB, Houston - Completed 20 of 26 passes for 289 yards and added another 39 yards on the ground plus another TD in a 64-3 win vs Texas State. Ward only played 3 quarters and is still nursing a bum throwing shoulder.
6) Jake Browning, QB, Washington - Welcome to the watch list Mr. Browning! Browning led the undefeated Huskies to a thrilling overtime win vs Arizona with this incredible block of all plays...
This season Browning is completing over 70% of his passes with 14 TDs and only two turnovers. He leads all PAC 12 QBs in passing efficiency and will get to throw his hat into the top 5 Heisman watch list with a big game Friday night vs undefeated Stanford.
7) Patrick Mahomes, QB, Texas Tech - Bye week for the Texas Tech gunslinger.
8) Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson - Reluctantly I'm putting in Watson in the top 10 list even though he hasn't earned it this season. Watson is by far having his worst collegiate season and if you look at his progression his numbers have gotten gradually worse from his dynamite freshman and sophomore seasons. But he's still the QB of the undefeated Clemson Tigers and led them to an impressive road win vs Georgia Tech. This week he gets a chance to shine as Louisville and Lamar Jackson come to town looking to knock them off for the ACC conference and Heisman watch list lead.
9) Myles Garrett, DL, Texas A&M - Didn't get a sack but he had a key fumble recovery and a huge tackle for loss in a statement win vs Arkansas for the undefeated Aggies. He leads the Aggies in tackles for loss and sacks.
10) Jabrill Peppers, LB, Michigan - As long as Michigan stays undefeated and Peppers is returning punts he will stay in the top 10 list. He wasn't outstanding defensively by any means vs Penn State but he was 5 yards away from a punt return for a TD because he tripped over his own feet. This week he will get to move up the list with a big game vs undefeated and top 10 team Wisconsin visiting the Big House.
Dropped out: Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU; Deshone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame

Miami Hurricane's Adidas Retro Throwback Jerseys vs FSU and Virginia Tech are Fire
Not only does Mark Richt have Miami undefeated at 3-0 but now he has his players going back to the classic 80's/90's retro jersey he used to wear when he was a quarterback. I absolutely love the look. I'm not a Hurricanes fan but these jerseys are awesome. It's a classic look that still fits with today's game.FIRST LOOK: Adidas takes Miami retro, wearing orange vs FSU on 10/8, white vs Virginia Tech on 10/20 pic.twitter.com/DBvhqjLTrK— Darren Rovell (@darrenrovell) September 19, 2016

This MadBum vs Yasiel Puig Baseball "Fight" Shows How Delicate Ballplayers Feelings are these days
Madison Bumgarner and Yasiel Puig are two ball players who tend to wear their emotions on their sleeves. Last night in a huge divisional matchup they displayed how fragile each of their feelings are.
This emotional outburst just shows you that baseball players can be giant pussies. MadBum and Puig stared each other down after a weak ground out. How dare you stare at me!
I mean come on guys. Get laid or stop doing PEDs. Just calm the fuck down.
And while I agree it's good to see some emotion in baseball these emotional outbursts are on par with a kid not getting the candy bar he wants. Wahhh I don't want you to look at me anymore!

Georgia Fan Overreacts Slightly To Thrilling Mizzou Win, Lands himself in Hospital
Everyone please look at what I have to deal with on a daily basis.— Jeff Moore (@jeffrey_moore7) September 18, 2016

I would say this Georgia fan is a complete idiot but then I would be a hypocrite. This is what college football passion is all about. If you can't get jacked up for a last minute, game-winning touchdown pass from your freshman QB Jacob Eason to move to 3-0 on the young season then you aren't a real fan.
You know why this UGA fanatic bleeds red and black? Because he can break windows by celebrating and get stitches shortly after in the hospital.
That's Chubb Strong in my book.

College Football Week 3 Top Plays
5. Jonathan Allen's incredible touchdown run vs Ole Miss
Always nice to see the big men getting in the end zone. Bama's Jonathan Allen is nearly 300 pounds but looked like a gazelle running his way toward a huge TD in Bama's comeback win in Oxford.
4. Jacob Eason Delivers 20-yard Game Winning TD Strike To Beat Mizzou
It wasn't the best performance from the true freshman but when it counted Jacob Eason delivered a beautiful touch pass to WR Isaiah McKenzie for the game-winning TD in a tough road environment vs Mizzou.
3. Leonard Fournette's Stiff Arm/Throwdown vs Mississippi State
It's good to see Leonard Fournette back in the highlights making Buga Nation plays!
2. Lamar Jackson With Another Heisman Trophy Worthy Play vs FSU
Action Jackson was at it again in the big showdown vs FSU with this electric 47-yard TD run. He hit circle button a couple of times to get into the endzone in route to a 63-20 statement win vs #2 FSU.
1. Ohio State's Noah Brown Touchdown Behind-the-Defenders Back Catch
Sick. Absolutely sick. This was just one of Noah Brown's 4 touchdown catches vs the Sooners Saturday night in Ohio State's blowout win. Welcome to college football young man.
