With Cam Newton's Heisman all but wrapped up and the nation's two best teams (Oregon and Auburn) set to play in the BCS Championship Game, it appeared that college football was devoid of controversy. That is, until someone stole Lee Corso's head. No, not the real Corso, but the mascot version. Erin Andrews sent this tweet alerting everyone that the head was missing and Busted Coverage is on top of the investigation. Stay tuned to this very important story.

Remember when Chris Johnson predicted that he'd break Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record (2,105 yards) and possibly break 2,500 yards for the year? With three games left in the season, Johnson is at 1,026. For those keeping track at home, he'll need to average 334 yards over his final three games to break Dickerson's mark and 491 to top 2,500 yards.

When I'm not filling in for Jimmy on Hot Clicks, I run the SI Vault and like to post funny photos of athletes and celebrities to the Vault Twitter feed. With Adrian Gonzalez on the move to Boston, I thought this old photo of the late Gary Coleman in a Padres uniform may cheer up despondent San Diego fans.
