Football this 'n' that

 Vanderbilt's Diego Pavia finished 2nd in the Heisman Trophy balloting on Saturday night behind Indiana's Fernando Mendoza. Pavia didn't take it too well, dissing the Heisman voters with an f-bomb on social media, then apologizing on Sunday.

The difference between the two quarterbacks is simply that Indiana is undefeated, won the Big 10 title, and has a berth in the playoffs which begin Saturday. Vanderbilt gets a bowl game, and that's it. If Pavia is thinking about the NFL draft in the spring, I think he's not going to get picked in the first round, because his comments will still be fresh in the minds of NFL owners.

Stay tuned.

An era ended Sunday when the Kansas City Chiefs were eliminated from the AFC playoffs after getting swept by the Los Angeles Chargers. Worse, QB Patrick Mahomes was lost for the season with a torn ACL. Thus, either the Chargers or Denver will claim the division.

And, then, there's talk of tight end Travis Kelce hanging it up after the season to be with his lady love, singer Taylor Swift. After 7 straight division titles, a change in the division was due, after all.

Meanwhile, Green Bay may have lost Micah Parsons for the season if in fact he, too, tore his ACL.


The Packers sit a game behind Chicago in the NFC North with 3 games to play, but losing Parsons could be what ultimately costs Green Bay a post-season berth.
