Lions try to keep emotions in check

Every football game triggers emotion for 18- to 22-year-old players who work year-round for a dozen guaranteed days in the spotlight. Every season opener heightens the adrenaline after eight months of toil. Factor in what Penn State players have been through over the past eight months, and their emotional roller-coaster will reach its apex shortly after noon Saturday at Beaver Stadium. Among the key events since the Lions last left the game field Jan.

The former Jets quarterback and Hall of Famer didn't hold back during an interview with Adam Schein on Sirius NFL radio. It doesn't appear "Broadway Joe" is a big fan of the acquisition of popular backup quarterback Tim Tebow. "I'm concerned with how the Jets are trying to build a team and win a championship," Namath said. "They seem more interested in the headlines.

The Jets what-if scenario at QB

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- If starting QB Mark Sanchez were to suffer a long-term injury, he'd be replaced by Tim Tebow, not Greg McElroy, Rex Ryan said Wednesday. That might not be a revelation, but there has been some recent speculation -- we're talking out-of-left field speculation -- that McElroy would be a better choice because he's more of a conventional quarterback than Tebow. Ryan put an end to that. "We would expand (Tebow's) role," Ryan said.

Big Ten commish takes on Kilimanjaro

As Big Ten players acclimatized to the rigors of preseason camp earlier this month, the league's commissioner endured a different type of conditioning test. One that ended 19,340 feet above sea level. Shortly after the Big Ten kickoff luncheon in Chicago, Delany boarded a plane for Africa. He gathered with nine others in Tanzania and began the trek up Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. They began the climb Aug. 3, and at 6:20 a.m. on Aug.

Trading Hunter is addition by subtraction

The infamous Wayne Hunter era is officially over in New York. The Jets traded the struggling right tackle to the St. Louis Rams in exchange for former draft bust Jason Smith. According to the Jets, they had no intentions of trading Hunter. But St. Louis called the Jets with a proposition and both teams decided these embattled players could use a change of scenery. This is a trade involving two struggling offensive tackles who might be a reclamation project elsewhere.
