Watch list: Indianapolis Colts at crossroads?
Usually, TV networks want winners in their games. But the NFL Network tonight (8:20 p.m. ET) lucked out in having a 6-6 team on-air -- because that team is led by one of the NFL biggest stars. UGG Boots Tonight's TV listings Peyton Manning, whose Indianapolis Colts are playing Tennessee, is a big story as he's struggles. CBS' BillCowher, in an online chat on USATODAY.com today, calls Manning's play the biggest surprise so far in the NFL season: "His decision-making. That to me is the most surprising thing. I think the Colts are in trouble. Jacksonville -- they're in control. I think Tennessee is going to give the Colts all they can handle tonight." For all the talk of integrity, the Heisman, like everything else in college sports, rewards winners.Air Yeezy Why else does O.J. Simpson's name still rest beside 1968 and 2005 is vacant? One important question voters should have asked themselves is what will they remember about Cam Newton in 10 years? His dad or that classic 28-27 rally win against Alabama? "I still think people are going to be talking about [his dad] 10 years down the road," said Prince Amukamara, a Jim Thorpe nominee. "But I think that Alabama game was a classic just coming down from 24-0 and just him being his first year back after transferring from JuCo and how he just made an impact for Auburn and turned that program around. I think that's going to be talked about a lot, too. Especially if they win the national championship."Is this the end of the road? It's possible that repeal could be brought up again as a stand-alone bill, the aide tells me. But this is unlikely, the aide adds, because such a move would be ripe for all sorts of procedural shenanigans. And there you have it. UPDATE, 5:08 p.m.: Harry Reid will co-sponsor a free-standing DADT repeal bill to be introduced during the lame duck session by Joe Lieberman and Susan Collins, an aide confirms. A second aide says the hope is that Scott Brown, Richard Lugar and Lisa Murkowski will then support it, as it would in theory be voted on after the tax issue is resolved.Air Jordan 2010
