Robert Griffin III (RG3) is hands down the best college football player in the nation. The fact the Baylor Bears are not a good football team should not keep him from winning the award. Its not the Bears offense that is terrible, it is the Bears defense. The offense led by Griffin has played good enough in every game this year.Even though his defense is terrible, Griffin has been able to lead the Bears to a 7-3 record with two more games left to play. Their three losses came against #3 Oklahoma State Cowboys, #14 Kansas State Wildcats, and #21 Texas A&M. His big wins of the season came against #14 TCU Horned Frogs and #5 Oklahoma Sooners.The following are RG3's statisticsRobert Griffin III Total Season StatisticsPassing Statistics: 224 pass completions; 302 passing attempts; 3093 yards; 74.2 completion percentage; 10.24 yards per attempt, 77 yard long; 29 touchdowns; 5 interceptionsRushing Statistics: 117 rushing attempts; 478 yards; 4.1 yard average per carry; 49 yard long; 5 touchdownsFor More Heisman Polls, visit:Heisman Trophy ProfileHeisman Trophy Page
Baylor University's Robert Griffin III (RG3) became a Heisman Trophy Award hopeful following the first game of the season, but since then his team has lost three games. Is he still a Heisman Contender?
After an amazing four touchdown and 479 yards passing game versus the Oklahoma Sooners, Robert Griffin III (RG3) launched himself back into the Heisman Trophy Race. Though he is currently ranked third in ESPN's straw poll of Heisman voters, he still has a great chance of jumping to the top of the list. Heisman voters and the media aren't dead set on any particular candidate so far, thus making it a fluid Heisman Race going into the last weekend of the regular season.Griffin has an advantage over the current top two in the straw poll because he plays against the Texas Longhorns next weekend, while Trent Richardson and Andrew Luck are sitting at home because their season's are over. If Griffin were to win the Heisman Trophy Award, would this play against Oklahoma be his Heisman Moment? It led to the Baylor Bears first win against the Oklahoma Sooners ever in history.
Baylor's Robert Griffin III (RG3) has shred every defense he has faced this year. Through seven games, his statistics are through the roof as he has led the Bears to four wins and two losses. If the Heisman Trophy Award was really given to the most dominant player in college football, then RG3 would almost assuredly be at least invited to New York for the ceremony. However, that is not what seems to control how people vote.Instead, voting for the Heisman Trophy Award seems to go to the best offensive player on the best or one of the best teams in the Nation. Currently, Baylor is not ranked, and they still have three very tough games. They have to travel to the #4 Oklahoma State Cowboys, and they will host the #3 Oklahoma Sooners and the #24 Texas Longhorns. There is a very good chance the Bears will lose at least two of those games, if not all three.If the Bears were to lose four or five games on the season, will RG3 have a legitimate shot at winning the Heisman Trophy Award?Robert Griffin III (RG3) Season StatisticsTotal Passing Statistics: 142 pass completions; 182 pass attempts; 78.0% completions; 1,950 yards passing; 10.71 yard average per attempt; 77 yard long; 22 touchdowns; 2 interceptionsTotal Rushing Statistics: 72 rushing attempts; 295 yards rushing; 4.1 yard average per rushing attempt; 35 yard long; 2 touchdowns
On the VH1 Divas' Salute the Troops special, Kathy Griffin poked fun at, Dancing with the Stars finalist's, Bristol Palin. Kathy joked,"She's the only contestant in the history of the show to actually gain weight. No, come on, come on. She gained like 30 pounds a week, I swear to God, it was fantastic. She's like the white Precious!" The audience reacted with a chorus of boos. Would you boo Kathy Griffin for her Bristol Palin fat joke?

Each week, ESPN conducts a straw poll of Heisman Trophy voters to see who leads the race after each weekend of football. After week 13, Trent Richardson sits at the top, with Andrew Luck close behind. Robert Griffin III's (RG3) movement up the rankings has settled following a major surge after his week 12 performance versus the Oklahoma Sooners. RG3 finds himself currently in third place.RG3 has a major advantage over Richardson and Luck heading into week 14. Luck and Richardson's seasons are over, but Griffin still has one more game to showcase his skills against the Texas Longhorns. Last impressions are very important in the Heisman Race. If RG3 has an amazing game against the Longhorns, can he catch Richardson and Luck since they aren't playing this week?

Andre Miller is upset over NBA officiating and his suspension. In the Clipper-Blazer game Andre Miller got shoved twice by Clipper forward Blake Griffin. In retaliation, Andre body checked Griffin. The NBA suspended Andre for one game. Andre Miller said of his suspension,"...It just shows you how soft the league has gotten, protecting young players. It's not like it was when I came in this league." He also complained that the NBA doesn't apply the same rules to everyone. Did Andre Miller deserve to be suspended?
Arkansas Razorbacks wide receiver, Joe Adams, made one of the greatest plays I have ever seen. You can see it in the video above. He breaks at least six Tennessee Volunteers attempted tackles before taking it to the house. It was damn impressive. Will Joe Adams punt return versus Tennessee win play of the year?

Week two of the college football season has just come to an end, so it is time to see who our Heisman Trophy Award hopefuls are and where they stand. Below you can find the names and performances of the players I believe to be at the head of the Heisman Trophy list at this point.

Andrew Luck is probably leading in the national ratings and rankings, however, I feel RG3 was more electric and more special. Luck is the best NFL QB prospect based on his performance last year, but, in my opinion, RG3 has been the best college football player thus far this year. I dropped Trent Richardson, LaMichael James, and Taylor Martinez. I just don't feel they have done anything worth being in my Top 7. Heisman Trophy Award 2011: Who leads the Heisman race after week 2?
Montee Ball from the Wisconsin Badgers has been a stud all season. He leads the nation in rushing with 1759 yards, and is one touchdown away from breaking Barry Sanders record of 39. Let me restate that...Ball has 38 touchdowns and is one away from breaking Barry Sanders record. That is amazing. Sanders' record is one that many thought would never be touched, and he is one away with 70 less carries than Sanders. In the beginning of the season, Wisconsin quarterback, Russell Wilson, received a lot of hype for the Heisman Trophy. However, after losing to Michigan State and Ohio State on last second Hail Mary passes, Wilson was declared no longer a Heisman Hopeful by the media. Wilson's Heisman campaign and hopes overshadowed Ball's accomplishments. For the majority of the year, Ball was kicking ass on the field but never being mentioned in the media for the Heisman Trophy. It was only in the last two weeks or so that his name has popped up. However, another running back, Trent Richardson from Bama, has been at the center of the Heisman race all season even though he has 200 less yards rushing and 15 less touchdowns. Seems slightly biased and unfair, don't you think?Only in the last two weeks has Ball received any media attention for the Heisman, but it still has been less than other hopefuls. In my opinion, Ball deserved more attention all season long for what he was doing at Wisconsin. He was unfairly ignored and in part due to media bias. If the media declares x and y are preseason Heisman hopefuls, they pretty much never waiver from their preseason beliefs. Andrew Luck from Stanford has not had a great season by any means, but he was THE preseason Heisman favorite. Therefore, all season long we have been overwhelmed with talk about him deserving the Heisman. He played horrible in his two big games of the season throwing terrible pick 6's against both Oregon and USC. Montee Ball Season Statistics by Game:UNLV: 10 rushing attempts; 63 yards rushing; 3 rushing touchdowns; 2 receptions; 67 yards receiving; 1 receiving touchdownOregon State: 18 rushing attempts; 118 yards rushing; 2 rushing touchdownsNorthern Illinois: 20 rushing attempts; 91 yards rushing; 2 rushing touchdowns; 2 receptions; 32 yards receiving; 0 receiving touchdownsSouth Dakota: 15 rushing attempts; 88 yards rushing; 2 rushing touchdowns; 2 receptions; 21 yards receiving; 0 receiving touchdownsNebraska: 30 rushing attempts; 151 yards rushing; 4 rushing touchdownsIndiana: 14 rushing attempts; 142 yards rushing; 3 rushing touchdowns; 1 reception; 46 yards receiving; 0 receiving touchdownsMichigan State:18 rushing attempts; 115 yards rushing;1 rushing touchdown; 2 receptions; 24 yards receiving; 1 receiving touchdownOhio State: 17 rushing attempts; 85 yards rushing; 1 rushing touchdown; 3 receptions; 30 yards receiving; 1 receiving touchdownPurdue: 20 rushing attempts; 233 yards rushing; 3 rushing touchdowns; 1 reception; 9yards receiving; 0 receiving touchdownsMinnesota: 23 rushing attempts; 166 yards rushing; 2 rushing touchdowns; 1 receptions; 5 yards receiving; 1 receiving touchdownsIllinois: 38 rushing attempts; 224 yards rushing; 2 rushing touchdowns; 2 receptions; -1 yards receiving; 1 receiving touchdownPenn State: 25 rushing attempts; 156 yards rushing; 4 rushing touchdowns; 1 reception; 15 yards receiving; 0 receiving touchdownsMichigan State: 27 rushing attempts; 137 yards rushing; 3 rushing touchdowns; 3 receptions; 7 yards receiving; 1 receiving touchdownsAs can be seen, Ball didn't have a single bad game this season, and had over 100 yards of total offense and multiple scores in each. It just doesn't make sense that he didn't receive more attention. I'm not saying he should definitely win the Heisman Trophy, but it should be between him and Robert Griffin III from Baylor.
Robert Gates makes it clear he wants Wikileaks gone. He slanders the company claiming it has the blood of US soldiers on its hands for releasing secret documents. If it is closed, one question must be answered. Do we have a democracy if we don't have factual info when deciding who to vote for?
