Highlights the NFL doesn't want you to see

Interesting article written by Reed Albergotti of the Wall Street Journal about NFL video we rarely see from the "All 22" angle

The Footage The NFL Won't Show You

I would love to have the option of running highlights during my sportscast from the "All 22" angle.  It would give fans a greater understanding of what is actually happening on a play.

In the article Charlie Casserly, former NFL General Manager and member of the NFL Competition Committee, suggests releasing the video from the "All 22" angle would be detrimental.

"It would open players and teams up to a level of criticism far beyond the current hum of talk radio," said Casserly.

I won't argue and say Casserly is completely wrong, but let me go a step further, I believe it would create a more knowledgeable  fanbase. It might even quell the "hum" on sports talk radio, at least the noise coming from those in the without anything intelligent to add to the conversation.

Jackson native Grant Ressel battling to remain Mizzou starter

Grant Ressel

Former Jackson Indian Grant Ressel, the one time All-American kicker at Mizzou, now finds himself in a battle to remain the starter.

Ressel and junior Trey Barrow are now listed at the top of the Missouri Tigers depth chart.

Ressel has struggled this season making only seven of  thirteen field goals (he's missed four of his last five).
The drop off has been staggering after Grant missed only three his first two seasons in Columbia (making 43 of 46).

"I think first of all he is a great kid and he's been through a difficult time", said head coach Gary Pinkel. "He hasn't fixed it yet and we'll deal with him internally."
