Let’s face it, nobody other than the NFL people knows what to make of the numbers generated by the NFL combine. And we’re not even sure about the NFL people sometimes.
Everybody else just nods in agreement with the person who seems to know that this 40 time lifted a player from the seventh to the ...
When Stanford begins spring football practice on Monday it will lack a quarterback controversy, typically the only thing that can make spring practice interesting.
The intrigue for the Cardinal lies in the fact that everything around quarterback Andrew Luck seems uncertain.
– It’s unclear from the outside exactly who will be coordinating the offense Luck will run.

With the NFL Combine starting today (Wednesday) in Indianapolis, we at JakesTakeOnSports are reminded of Jeff George.
A pretty college quarterback, George absolutely knocked the socks off NFL scouts with his arm strength, quick release and accuracy at the 1990 combine. He was so impressive the Indianapolis Colts traded to get the No. 1 overall draft choice, then took George ...
One day after Bob Gregory left as Cal’s defensive coordinator, Bears head coach Jeff Tedford named Gregory’s successor. Which means Clancy Pendergast had accepted the job as the Bears’ defensive coordinator a few days ago.

The days leading up to college football’s signing day (which is Feb. 3 this year) are some of the weirdest in sports, with players changing commitments and internet recruiting services disagreeing on why they did it or whether it’s a big deal. All reports are made to seem like earth-shattering news because nobody really knows how ...
Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, formerly a standout at City College of San Francisco and a onetime star at Serra High School in San Mateo, is the subject of a disturbing report in today’s Oregonian.
According to the paper, police in Eugene, Oregon, are investigating an alleged theft at a University of Oregon fraternity house, and the ...
By October, 24 high school players had verbally committed to play football at Stanford next year, earning the Cardinal a high ranking by all the internet recruiting services and earning Jim Harbaugh praise for his recruiting skills.
The Cardinal has added 10 commitments for next year since then, and so now the total number of recruits ...
We are confused.
That in itself is not worth posting on our site, because we are often confused. (Where are my car keys? What day is it? What did I eat to make me feel this way? What is the difference between men and women? What is the meaning of life? Sorry, we got carried away on ...
