(“The TEN” is not a top ten but ten items worth being included in “The TEN”)
1. “He’s a nice coach. To me, I’ve said this, he’s really a great cheerleader guy. I don’t know what he does. I don’t think he’s a great coach at all. His name never even pops up in my mind when we think about great coaches in the NFL.” – Terry Bradshaw on Pittsburgh Steeler HC Mike Tomlin.
2. Washington State quarterback Luke Falk will remain at school for his senior year rather than enter the NFL draft.
