Seems Buccaneers fans are a bit impatient, as it took all of two quarters for them to boo their new starting quarterback.
Welcome to the NFL rook! Jones is going to have to find something to do next weekend. Here are some ideas, man.
The Seahawks lost a wild one in overtime in St. Louis today. Nick Foles took the field for the first time as a Ram and he was very solid with 297 yards and touchdowns via air and ground, but the truly remarkable part of the game was the *fart noise* that was the Seahawks’ overtime effort.
Charles Barkley played two seasons with Moses Malone, and has always said it was Malone who convinced him he was “fat and lazy,” and had to take his career more seriously. Here’s his statement, from NBA.com, on Malone’s death this morning:

According to a report from ESPN’s Dan Graziano, the New York Giants got a chance to examine Jason Pierre-Paul’s fireworks-torn hand for themselves and are internally worried that the injury is worse than initially thought and could keep him out for the season. This is because, uh, well, the team didn’t know how many…
Moses Malone died in his sleep early this morning in Norfolk, VA. He was 60.
