Fans of Manziel’s college squad still love him for what he brought to the football program, including a Heisman Trophy.

In other words, adjust your activity level to your pain level....
It can be confusing, because while hosting former Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota for an episode of “Gruden’s QB Camp,” Gruden spent a portion of the show making fun of the Ducks’ neon yellow uniforms. The only problem was he was actually wearing a neon yellow polo. He really should’ve thought this one through a little better.

Stewart, the former host of The Daily Show, denounced the recent decision to rescind the landmark 1973 abortion rights case during Thursday’s episode of his The Problem With Jon Stewart podcast. Stewart argued that the Court had become a “cynical political arm” that made decisions based on personal ideology rather than “reasoned debate” while comparing the institution to Fox News. “The idea that this was based in any kind of reasoned debate or philosophical education—the Supreme Court is now the Fox News of justice, in my mind,” said Stewart....

Yet, in his combined role as owner and GM, if Jones can’t bring back Jason Garrett, Dez Bryant and DeMarco Murray, he risks losing all the ground he gained in the stunning turnaround of a season that ended with such heartbreak and controversy in Green Bay. Going into this season, the Cowboys had won one playoff game since 1996 — six head coaches and numerous big-name players ago. This time, they likely came within one controversial call of playing in Seattle for a berth in the Super Bowl....

He secured a move to Swansea City at the beginning of the year, but struggled to truly find his feet during the second half of last season even as the Welsh side pulled away from the dropzone. Ayew ended last term with just one goal in 14 appearances back in the top flight with Swansea, and was largely a peripheral figure in their survival act. This season hasn’t been much better for the Black Star, as the Swans have again struggled at the wrong end of the table, before parting ways with last season’s saviour Paul Clement on December 20th....

The Green Bay Packers will be traveling to the Georgia Dome to face the Falcons for the NFC title game, but Nelson’s broken ribs will likely keep him sidelined.
