Jerod Mayo, a linebacker from Tennessee, was grilled by an unnamed NFL team during his predraft visit. Their question: "When's the last time you cheated on your girlfriend?" The question's irrelevance to football is one thing, but it also goes to show just how stupid the NFL can be. Why wasn't "Belicheater" asked this year's ago?

However, if you throw in a bra maker, cheerleaders, and a contest for a trip to Madrid where we can enjoy all of the above, you better believe many will beg to sign up.

The top rusher at a University of Colorado spring game was, apparently, sick of being confined to the sidelines. Ralphie, the team's mascot, ran all over her fellow Buffaloes.
