     Texans Rookie Sensation and quarterback Deshaun Watson tore his ACL in practice today during a non-contact play. It's been just four days removed from the biggest game of his career where he earned the complete respect of the NFL in a 42-39 loss to the Seahawks in Seattle. Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman said that it was "the best performance ever" by a quarterback against the Legion of Boom, which is saying a lot about how impressed the Seahawks were with the rookie.      This isn't the first time he has torn his ACL. As a promising freshman at Clemson University in 2014, Watson tore his ACL in a mid November practice shortly after spraining his knee. He went on afterwards to become a top-tier quarterback in college, whom I largely spoke out against as an overrated prospect, and was the runner up twice in the Heisman race.      I wasn't sure whether or not I wanted to jump on the Watson Bandwagon, because I don't care for pl...

President Obama, soon to be former President, made a startling statement to the sports world today at a white house press meeting just hours before the College Football National Championship game today. The Alabama Crimson Tide will be playing against the Clemson Tigers in a hotly contested rematch of last season's national title game at 8:15 ET Monday, January 9th. The Crimson Tide are favored by a touchdown, and the president has made it clear who he is going to be routing for in the last championship game he will have an opportunity to see in the White House. "I think of Clemson as I think of my administration," President Obama told the reporters assembled, "Last year, they couldn't beat Alabama because they ran out of time." While it is true that Clemson had pulled to 5 points before giving up the onside kick with no timeouts and 18 seconds left on the clock, Alabama had already assembled a monster showing behind the iron legs of Heisman winner Derric...

Dabo Swinney has been gushing the past three seasons about his junior quarterback, Deshaun Watson, who has now become probably the most successful quarterback in Clemson history. While he is a phenomenal player, a top NFL prospect and a Heisman contender, Swinney lobbying for his quarterback is probably not the smartest thing he could be doing right now. The Heisman trophy will be presented next weekend, and the finalists have all played their regular season games. Watson, Louisville's Quarterback Lamar Jackson, Alabama's Quarterback Jalen Hurts, Texas' Running Back D'Onta Foreman, Oklahoma's Quarterback Baker Mayfield, Washington's Quarterback Jake Browning and Michigan's All-Purpose-Athlete Jabrill Peppers are all running in a race as hotly contested and close as the 2016 Presidential Race. Every player has a great argument and case that has been made. Swinney, after his Clemson Tigers jumped from #3 to #2 in the College Football Playoff Rankings, talke...
