DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — New England Patriots receiver and Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman has been named the honorary starter for Sunday's Daytona 500.
The honor caps a whirlwind two weeks for Edelman, who since winning his third Super Bowl on Feb. 3 has visited Disney World with Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and served as a presenter at the Grammy Awards.
Hannah Storm and Andrea Kremer had so much fun in their first season calling NFL games on Amazon Prime that they are coming back for an encore.
Amazon announced Thursday the veteran announcing duo will return next season to call the Thursday night package on Amazon's prime video service.
FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott have their first playoff win and the same divisional-round block the Dallas Cowboys haven't been able to solve for nearly 25 years.
The star quarterback and running back figure to be leading the Dallas offense for years to come with new No. 1 receiver Amari Cooper, acquired midseason for the Cowboys' first-round pick in this year's draft.
Mike Pereira was in his customary spot next to Troy Aikman in the Fox Sports broadcast booth for the Bears-Vikings game on the final week of the regular season, ready to chime in when needed on any close calls on the field.
Instead, he got one in the booth when Aikman declared the officiating for the game to be "nauseating."
"I turned away because I didn't know if he was going to throw up on me or not," the former NFL officiating guru turned TV analyst said with a laugh.
Thursday night football is here to stay, even if it's gone for the rest of 2018.
In past years, some — make that many — would have said "good riddance." That would be misguided this year.
First off, Fox's presentation generally was strong and on target. Indeed, Troy Aikman, who has been Fox's lead analyst for 17 years, might have had his best season.
NEW YORK (AP) — Political commentator Steve Schmidt says he'll take some inspiration from former NFL players who become television analysts when he starts appearing on Showtime's "The Circus."
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Jake Fromm hardly looks like a guy less than a year removed from high school.
Poised and confident, he was thrust into a starting role in his very first game at Georgia. Fromm quickly gained the respect of his teammates, guided the Bulldogs to one win after another, and now he's got them positioned to make a run at the biggest prize of all.
Jamelle Holieway can relate.
He remains the only true freshman quarterback to lead his team to a national title in the modern era.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Philip Rivers didn't grow up an NFL fan.
He grew up a fan of quarterbacks.
A northern Alabama native, college football games on Saturdays were his sports meat and potatoes. The NFL was dessert.
"The quarterbacks were the ones I had posters of," Rivers said. "The quarterbacks were the ones I picked who I liked, and what numbers I liked and everything."
From Vince Lombardi and Tom Landry through Reggie White and Brett Favre, Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith.
From the tundra of Lambeau to the gap in the Texas Stadium roof to Jerry's palace.
Green Bay Packers vs. the Dallas Cowboys has been one of the NFL's most entertaining and meaningful rivalries for decades. Whether it was the Ice Bowl or Aaron Rodgers' impromptu pass to Jared Cook last January, people (and players and coaches) remember these matchups.
DENVER (AP) — He's named after football Hall of Famer Troy Aikman. His idol is hockey Hall of Famer Joe Sakic.
No wonder he's so clutch in big moments.
Meet Troy Terry, a sophomore at the University of Denver who just led Team USA to a gold medal at the world junior championships in Montreal.
Terry scored not one, not two, but three shootout goals in a semifinal win over Russia. As an encore , he tallied the lone shootout goal in the title game against Canada on Thursday night.
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Jamelle Holieway dazzled the college football world as a true freshman who mastered Oklahoma's dynamic wishbone attack and led the Sooners to the 1985 national championship.
FRISCO, Texas (AP) — If Dak Prescott hears the chatter about Tony Romo after his worst game as a pro, Dallas' rookie quarterback isn't letting on.
And if Jerry Jones is irritating franchise icon Troy Aikman by giving the Romo talk more life with comments on his radio show, the Dallas owner doesn't really care.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys are accomplishing things in Dak Prescott's rookie season that never happened under Hall of Fame quarterbacks Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman.
Dallas, which got its five Super Bowl championships under Staubach and Aikman, had never won 10 consecutive regular-season games in the same season until now.
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Discussing Dak Prescott after the rookie quarterback's first NFL victory, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones managed to throw in references to folks such as Troy Aikman, Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger — QBs with nine Super Bowl victories combined.
Not bad company for a guy who was a fourth-round draft pick and is only playing because Tony Romo is out with an injured back.
