Lions rookies laugh about concussions
When a defensive player is asked about knocking out a quarterback or hitting a wide receiver so hard he doesn’t move, the proper response is to pull the politically correct card and say “My intent was not to hurt him.” Sounds good.

If you haven't heard by now that Calvin Johnson is on the cover of Madden 13, get out from under your rock. As expected, the cover looks amazing, and will definitely be something I'm buying this year despite (a) a general lack of money and (b) little hope or faith left in the Madden game experience itself.
