How’s this for a Monday night?  You pick off a quarterback 4 times, recover two fumbles and hold an offense to three points all game.  You go into half time up 20-0, only to lose 24-23 after a fumble by your own quarterback and your kicker missing the game winning field goal.  You are the deservedly 1-5 [...]

Former The Ohio State star running back Maurice Clarett was pulled over early this morning for leading the police on high speed chase.
