| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - Perhaps you saw Kroy Biermann's highlight- reel return of an interception for a touchdown for the Atlanta Falcons this past Sunday. Or Marc Mariani's pivotal kickoff return late in the Tennessee Titans' win over the Dallas Cowboys. Former players from the Football Championship Subdivision - like Biermann and Mariani from the University of Montana - face long odds to make an NFL team, let alone have game-changing impact. But their careers don't have to end after college. The |

That's one of the biggest differences with us this year," said tight end Marcedes Lewis, who caught two of David Garrard's three touchdown passes. "We expect to win, we don't go in there when we get scored on and tuck our tails. |

| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - The Dallas Cowboys might not be broken, but is there enough duct tape in the world to fix what ails this team? The Cowboys' 34-27 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday wasn't fatal, and wasn't devoid of good things. Three-quarters of the 2010 regular season remain for a team that rang up 511 yards of total offense on Sunday and still plays in the up-for-grabs NFC East. Then again, for a franchise that has designs on playing a home game in the Super Bowl this February, what |

| Nashville, TN (MySportsbook) - The NFL has reportedly fined Tennessee Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan $10,000 on Friday.

The newspaper has also reported that the NFL warned Finnegan that similar infractions in the future can lead to increased disciplinary action. |
