Waddle (5-10, 182 pounds) is a field-stretching speed merchant in the Ruggs’ mold, but he’s closer to Smith in being a complete wide receiver. He can make big plays lining up outside or inside. He also has great quickness and is built to explode after the catch. In his final injury-shortened season at Alabama, Waddle averaged 21.1 yards per catch during the Crimson Tide’s national championship run, playing well off Smith and helping quarterback Mac Jones hit plenty of home runs....
Initial product quality has been an issue across the board for companies that were formerly under the FCA umbrella (Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, and Ram) for years.

Right? Wrong. That actually happened on Fisher’s conference call to New England reporters leading up to Sunday’s Rams-Patriots game. And it happened days after Fisher got into the most pointless feud a coach of a 4-7 team could possible engage in, the Eric Dickerson flap. Nothing around Fisher and the Rams is real anymore, and anything is possible. Of course, the nation has known that for a while — Fisher is the greatest coaching mediocrity in major American sports, yet he has better job security than all but a handful of NFL coaches....
He admits that. He’s been that way his whole career, getting emotional after big victories or during special moments, just letting the tears flow. He did it after he won his first Sprint Cup race at Charlotte Motor Speedway in 1994. He did it after he won the Brickyard 400 for the first time and at the NASCAR Cup banquet after he won his first championship. He got choked up after snapping long winless streaks and even after matching Dale Earnhardt with his 76th career victory....
Neither James nor Chargers coach Brandon Staley was pleased that the safety was ejected from the game even after his helmet slammed into the side of Dulin’s head. “I know Derwin’s intent,” Staley said, per the Indianapolis Star. “I thought that he tried to lead with the shoulder.” Staley also placed the blame for the hit on Dulin and the Colts, as he believed the Colts “obviously laid the guy (Dulin) out in a tough position....

The show kicked off to an interesting start on Sunday night. Instead of the usual, heavily-attended, star-studded event, this year’s Emmys host Jimmy Kimmel found himself opening the show on an empty stage in front of an empty audience—aside from a few celebrity cardboard cutouts and a random Jason Bateman sighting. Kimmel did get some help in the human form when it came time to announce the name of the first big winner of the night—the Emmy Award for Best Lead Comedy Actress....

Depending on where you stand, “The Passion” couldn’t have been better–or worse–timed. To many Christians, everything from terrorism and the war in Iraq to gay marriage and an Alabama judge’s failed effort to display the Ten Commandments in the state capitol are the latest moves–if not the endgame–in an ages-old struggle of good against evil; to them, Gibson’s movie offers light in a darkening world. “I left the theater beaming and smiling and so renewed,” says Delaney....
