Tuesday's A.M. Hot Clicks: The Adventures of Colt McCoy
The Adventures of Colt McCoy
Colt McCoy :: AP
Colt McCoy went 25-for-30 with 299 yards passing and a rushing touchdown to lead Washington to a 20-17 overtime victory over Dallas. McCoy had a big night, tripping over himself while celebrating a touchdown, getting yanked from a postgame interview by team security (no means no!) and exchanging this awkward high five/hug with coach Jay Gruden. He also made some really nice football plays. Also of note: Dez Bryant is still a beast and I don't know what this Orlando "Sex God" Scandrick celebration is all about but I love it.
#SaveSmitty
Falcons coach Mike Smith had a rough day Sunday. The Falcons not only gave up a 21-0 halftime lead, but also had the ball and the lead with two minutes left and somehow still managed to lose to the Lions, 22-21. For the second year in a row, Atlanta is 2-6 through eight games. While Falcons fans are calling for the firing of Smith, a New Orleans sports talk station started a Twitter campaign with a #SaveSmitty hashtag. The results are hilarious.
What is DeAndre Jordan Driving?
What do you do when you're 26, single and make $10 million per year? Just ask Clippers center DeAndre Jordan, who bought a 2014 Can-Am Spyder motorcycle, then spent $12,000 on a new paint job, custom wheels, powder blue lights with the custom stitching to match. And as if that wasn't enough, he had his No. 6 painted on the front and back of the bike.
