Fox is probably out too. And he's a good coach imho.

And the Broncos are looking for a new coach.

What the hell is up with the Ducks uniforms?  Boring...

I think the Ducks are the better team, but hopefully the Buckeyes keep it close.

He'll get another job soon enough. And even if he doesn't, the Broncos just gave him a contract extension last year and owe him for 2 more years.

Maybe the Broncos will bring back Josh McDaniels :P

This gives me newfound respect for the Panthers as an organization:

12-Year-Old Sends Letter to All 32 NFL Teams, and Only the Panthers Respond

Sometimes, it's tough to pick a team to root for. So why not just ask the teams?

That's exactly what 12-year-old Cade Pope did.

The sixth-grader from Oklahoma wrote a letter to every owner of every NFL team asking who he should support. Of the 32 teams, only one responded.

Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson sent Cade a handwritten letter that stated, "Cade, we would be honored if our Carolina Panthers became your team. We would make you proud by the classy way we represent you."

The letter also came with a replica Panthers helmet signed by Pro Bowl linebacker Luke Kuechly.

"If this is the only team that responds to me, I'm a Carolina Panthers fan," said Pope.

Ah yes, the very classy Carolina Panthers  ::)

''A guy of that caliber, we need him,'' Panthers cornerback Josh Norman said Sunday

*cough* *cough* nice job State!

I'm not sure who the Broncos could bring in that they think will be an upgrade at coach over Fox.  I think Manning is done and the rebuilding is coming.

Agreed on both. Teams are going to be fighting to land Fox.

[OJsDad]

Especially with Ryan off the market already

I think the only way it makes sense is if they are going to promote Gase to give Manning one more shot. Otherwise, Elway may be thinking post-Manning and an offensive reshuffle.

[OJsDad]

If Manning retires, who is the Broncos second string QB.  Do they look to draft one.

[OJsDad]

Well, Jones just imitated Winston with that fumble.

[Bison]

Yeah OSU is falling apart at the start of the 2nd half.

[Bison]

Who the hell thought showing tweets from famous people during the game is a good idea.  I don't give two flying fucks what LeBron James has to say about the game.  Good grief.  American sports and the broadcasting of American sports is beginning to suck donkey nuts.

[MetalDog]

Looking more and more like I took the wrong side in this.  No Oregon.  No over.

The coaches' room on ESPN2 is freaking awesome. They're breaking down plays and strategy so clean, and predicting plays so well it's amazing.
