This may be the greatest celebration fail of all-time
We’ve seen a lot of blunders over the years when athletes think they have something all wrapped up. Who will ever forget Leon Lett about to score in the Super Bowl, only to have Don Beebe slap mustard on his hot-dogging? Or what about Gus Frerotte knocking himself out of a game by concussing himself with a head slam against the wall? While some may want to argue that Lett’s celebration...
Tim Tebow's Biggest Supporters Are Ruining Him
As the man who compiles Football Nation's Top 100 Quarterbacks Since the Merger list, I'd be lying if I said Tebow was, at this time, qualified for the list. The No. 100 entry, Gus Frerotte, had a rather distinguished career as a journeyman backup, and was one of the best seventh round picks in recent memory.Tebow, to my way of thinking, hasn't quite done enough to surpass...
The Top 100 Quarterbacks Since the Merger: 100-91
100. Gus Frerotte (1994-2008, Redskins, Lions, Broncos, Bengals, Vikings, Dolphins, Rams)With the third pick in the 1994 NFL Draft, the Redskins chose a quarterback named Heath Shuler, who played four miserable seasons. With pick No. 197 that year, the Skins picked Frerotte, who played fifteen seasons as quixotic “have gun/will travel” journeyman.Over that decade and a half,...

Redskins Fans: If you could change one draft pick…what would that be?If you could go back in time, what is the one Redskins draft pick you would change?Every NFL team has their fair share of regrettable draft picks. The Redskins certainly have a few, although they have become more famous for botching free agency.I went back through a timeline of draft picks, mainly focusing on...

VIDEO: Mark Sanchez fumbles after running into his own lineman
If you're a New England Patriot fan, this is quite possibly the funniest thing you've seen in a football game since Gus Frerotte headbutted a wall. If your a New York Jet fan, this is Exhibit A for all you folks clamoring for Tim Tebow (psst: he's not the answer).In the video, in case you missed it, Patriot DL Vince Wilfork blocks Jet G Brandon Moore into the hole...

Titans fans, what questions do you have about the Vikings?
The last time the Tennessee Titans played the Minnesota Vikings, the starting quarterbacks were Gus Frerotte and Kerry Collins. Wow, that was a long time ago.
For insight into what the Vikings circa 2012 actually look like, I'll be doing a question and answer exchange with Bloguin's Vikings blog, Purple Jesus Diaries. If you have any questions you'd like answered...
The Big Ten's mascots close the book on Call Me Maybe parody videos
Even I have to admit, Call Me Maybe is a catchy song. Not catchy in the Friday sense, where it gets in your head and you can't get it out without going all Gus Frerotte on the nearest concrete wall, but legitimately catchy. It's ok, I'm comfortable enough with who I am to admit that.
Anyhoo, for a while there, it seemed like everyone in the universe was making...

Tam-Star’s Take On The NFL Playoff Picture And Facts
The regular season is in the bag and the 12 teams that will be playing for a chance to make it to the Super Bowl are set. The Wild Card weekend match-ups are definitely interesting and include a pair of teams that haven’t been in the playoffs in years.
The Detroit Lions are making their first appearance since 1999 and although the Bengals did go to the playoffs in 2009, they...
We’ve Met Before: Vikings at Falcons
Series: Vikings lead 16-10Last meeting(s): Atlanta kept the Vikings’ from clinching a playoff berth with a 24-17 win at the Metrodome in Week 16 of 2008. This was in the middle probably the most positive stretch of Tarvaris Jackson’s career in Minnesota. He was making his second start since “taking over” for Gus Frerotte in Week 14 and had had perhaps his best game ever against...
