Armstrong's confession made for titillating television, but it didn't really offer anything unexpected.

What people are saying about Gary Kubiak, Matt Schaub, and the Texans defense after their 41-28 loss to the New England Patriots.
Does Texas A&M’s Cotton Bowl dominance of Oklahoma mean the Aggies would have had an even better season had they stayed in the Big 12? No.
Scoreboard! @DallasStars won Twitter Tuesday with their response to @DallasCowboys’ accidental smack-tweet, which also dissed the Rangers.
Anybody (including many Aggies) who said they expected Texas A&M's first season in the Southeastern Conference to go so well is lying. But it's still funny to look back at all the naysayers.
