One last chance to do it
Dude, too little, too late
Who will he face at ‘Mania?
Adam Rank is disappointed that he won’t get to see Lizzy Caplan shine in a starring role in "The Interview" on account of current events. Sort of the same way that Alshon Jeffery might not shine with Jimmy Clausen under center in Chicago. But he thinks both Caplan and Jeffery will have the chance to rebound.

Houston trainer Tony Levine was fired Monday after three seasons in the institution, including two that featured winning records.
Levine was hired following the 2011 season, when Kevin Sumlin left to coach Texas A&M. Levine had been the Cougars’ receivers coach. Houston was 21-17 in three seasons under Levine, including 7-5 this season and 8-5 last season; the Cougars were 5-7 in 2012.
The Cougars will meet Pittsburgh in the Jan. 2 Armed Forces Bowl with defensive coordinator David Gibbs — the son of longtime NFL offensive line coach Alex Gibbs — as the interim coach.
Houston becomes the 12th FBS school which is going to have coaching change this year.

Of all that went wrong for Alabama Saturday in a 14-13 win over Arkansas, the one thing the Crimson Tide needed most given the opponent — a stout run defense — proved to be reliable as ever.
The dynamic Razorbacks duo of Jonathan Williams (83 yards) and Alex Collins (13 yards) never broke free for the big gains that had highlighted a 317-yards-per-game rushing attack all season. As a team, Arkansas rushed 39 times for 89 yards, about 30 percent of their season average. Central to Alabama’s run-stopping efforts was sophomore defensive lineman A’Shawn Robinson. The 320-pounder made five tackles, 1.5 of them for losses, and forced a fumble by Williams that Alabama recovered in the second quarter. In the fourth quarter, Robinson beat a double-team to force a fourth-and-1 run outside, where Xzavier Dickson made a tackle for no gain.
Alabama entered the game ranked No. 3 in the NCAA in rush defense, allowing 65 yards per game.
Beyond Robinson, key defensive contributions came from everywhere. Defensive lineman Jonathan Allen blocked a PAT try that proved to be the difference in the game, All-American safety Landon Collins intercepted a pass and broke up two others, and inside linebacker Reggie Ragland made 12 tackles.

The image was everywhere. For most, it was all they saw of Ohio State’s home win over Cincinnati.
We’re referring, of course, to the sight of Buckeyes strength coach Anthony Schlegel tackling a fan who ran onto the field at the Horseshoe last Saturday. As it turns out, the viral story was far from over.
21-year-old Anthony J. Wunder was the student who found himself laid out on the turf last week, but he is now finding out the consequences of his actions. According to the Columbus Dispatch, the OSU student pled not guilty to a criminal-trespassing charge on Monday and is set to have a jury trial in the matter.
To make matters even worse, he’s also lost his scholarship.

DeSean Jackson did not waste much time making an impact against his former team in Philadelphia. Or getting under their skin.
Jackson caught two passes on the Washington Redskins’ opening touchdown drive, and he drew an unnecessary roughness call against Eagles safety Nate Allen. Jackson should have been penalized; he shoved Malcolm Jenkins in the neck region promptly after taking a late hit on a grab.
DJax lated added a pretty 81-yard touchdown catch to tie the match, then continued to taunt the Philly crowd by flapping his arms like an Eagle.
It Is safe to say this Redskins-Eagles competition is getting a pleasant increase from Jackson’s change of teams:
