Negativity

Semi-pros.
Great TV Euphemisms Dept.: "Media time-out." Definition: Time for commercials.

Student athlete actors: Cal players seemingly faked injuries several times against Oregon on Saturday, trying to stop the Ducks' hurry-up offense. The Associated Press said Cal lineman Aaron Tipoti "got up from making a tackle, went up to the line, looked to the sideline, then fell to the ground holding his leg, just before Oregon could snap the ball." Tipoti made a miraculous recovery, returning for the next play.
Pro-pros.

Rout of the weak: Green Bay (6-3) over Minnehaha (3-6).
Crummy game of the weak: Detroit (2-7) at Dallas (2-7).
Dishonorable mention: Detroit couldn't even beat a winless team (Buffalo) on Sunday, losing its 25th straight road game, an NFL record.
