The crash occurred at 2:25 AM Friday morning at his Florida mansion. He was released from the hospital later in the day.
TMZ is reporting that the accident came just after a “domestic issue” that Woods had with his wife at their mansion. Did the argument have anything to do with this story? Just asking.
Brady Quinn is standing by his former college coach and says that Notre Dame should too.
“Personally I think it would be a horrible decision if they did make that change,” Quinn said. “I think there are a lot of circumstances that play into seasons like this. Hopefully he’ll have an opportunity to have another year with the guys.”
Quinn said it’s tough to pinpoint why the Fighting Irish have slipped nationally.“I know as a player there, one of the things we prided ourselves on was winning games and not worrying about stats or individual accolades, but pulling through tight games and winning games and going in there and fighting every week,” Quinn said.
“I think if you’ve got enough talent on that team, there’s guys that need to pull together and start finding ways to win.”
One of the arguments often given for Notre Dame’s struggles is that the school’s high academic standards make it difficult to recruit. Quinn sees it differently.“It plays to their advantage, too, that smart players on the team are able to do a lot more from a schematic standpoint and prepare for teams in better fashion than other teams,” he said.
It’s nice of his former player to stick up for him in the media, but Weis is done. It’s apparent that he can’t get Notre Dame to where it wants to be and he can’t recruit on the defensive side of the ball.
The real question is whether or not Weis will wind up back in the NFL or if he’ll stay in the college ranks. He’ll find a job somewhere (most likely it won’t be as a head coach), so it’ll be interesting to see where he winds up. My guess is that he’ll take over as an offensive coordinator back in the pros, but who knows at this point.
With the Steelers in the midst of fighting for a playoff spot, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger plans on playing against the Ravens on Sunday despite suffering a concussion last week in a loss to the Chiefs.
“It’s part of the nature of the beast of playing this game. It’s a violent, physical contact sport and there’s a chance you’re going to get hit,” Roethlisberger said Thursday. “You guys don’t talk about the bruises we have all over our body. If I showed you a bruise on my shoulder and a bruise on my shin, it wouldn’t get talked about as much. It’s a violent sport we play.”
Roethlisberger, who is having his best season statistically despite the Steelers’ erratic play, is evidence of that.The two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback’s latest concussion occurred when his head accidentally struck the knee of Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson while he was being tackled during Pittsburgh’s 27-24 overtime loss Sunday.
The play was subsequently wiped out by a holding call.
“It just kind of felt like I got hit pretty hard. Kind of said, ‘Let me catch my breath real quick,’ and by that time the trainers were out there, so I didn’t get a chance to get up,” Roethlisberger said.
I don’t think there’s any doubt that Roethlisberger will play. He’s one of the toughest players in the league and has shown no concussion symptoms since returning to practice on Wednesday.
That said, I’m not a doctor and I have no idea how he’s feeling. If he suffers a jarring hit on Sunday, then it stands to reason that team doctors will pull him to risk further injury. If that happens, Pittsburgh would likely see its playoff hopes go down with him.

Adrian Peterson limited in practice. His ankle is bothering him. This could just be precautionary or there might be a real possibility that he’ll miss Week 12. Keep an eye on the Vikings injury report. If he’s listed as “probable” his owners can breathe a sigh of relief. Chester Taylor obviously becomes starter-worthy if AP sits.
Cedric Benson “ready to play” but still iffy? Marvin Lewis said he was ready to play but was noncommittal about Benson’s availability for Sunday. The Bengals face the Browns, so if Benson sits another week, then Bernard Scott becomes a terrific start. Cincy may want to give Benson another week of rest if they think they can win with Scott carrying the load.
Slaton continues to start; Chris Brown will see time. So much for Ryan Moats turning into a stretch-run starter. It appears the Texans benched Slaton for motivation, but know that he’s their best RB. The Indy rush defense is so-so, which makes Slaton a decent RB2 start this week.
Julius Jones back at practice, but limited. Justin Forsett will get some work whether or not Jones returns this week, but he’s obviously a much better play if Jones sits out. The Rams are pretty bad against the run, so if the two share RB duties, they’re both decent flex starts.

In hopes of one day being a part of the team’s ownership, former Buffalo quarterback Jim Kelly says the Bills should chuck Trent Edwards and consider drafting one of the top three signal callers in April. And if Kelly had his way, he’d lean towards the team selecting Florida QB Tim Tebow.
Kelly said the franchise needs to move on from the benched Trent Edwards, a 2007 third-round pick. Kelly suggested the Bills look hard at positioning themselves to draft University of Florida signal caller Tim Tebow, a two-time BCS national champion whose inspired, all-out play is reminiscent of a left-handed version of Kelly.
“I like Trent personally,” Kelly told USA TODAY. “He works hard. But he’s had three years. It’s time to find somebody who is the future of the Buffalo Bills.
“If I’m the owner, that’s what I’m thinking.
“Whether it’s Tim Tebow, whether they’ll have a shot at him when draft time comes … you have to look at the top three quarterbacks in the draft, really study them. And you look for a guy with good character, good leadership ability and good arm strength — and a guy who doesn’t come from California.
Kelly said the Bills’ experience with quarterbacks from the Golden State haven’t panned out.
The list includes Rob Johnson, who went 4-7 from 1998-2001, J.P. Losman, the 22nd overall pick in 2004, and Edwards, who was benched last week in favor of Ryan Fitzpatrick by interim head coach Perry Fewell following the firing of Dick Jauron.
I must be missing something, because I still don’t see Tebow being a good pro quarterback. He’s a fantastic athlete and he has a role in the NFL – I just don’t think it’s under center. I can’t see him consistently taking three or five step drops and making plays in a pro-style offense. But maybe that’s just me.
That said, I don’t think Kelly is off in his opinions about the Bills. Edwards has had his chances and he hasn’t developed. Granted, his offensive line is incredibly young and needs time to gel, but Edwards hasn’t shown much over the past three years that he can lead the Bills to the postseason.
The Bills need Mike Shanahan to come in and completely blow up the roster. He found Jay Cutler in the draft a couple years ago and even had some success with Brian Griese early in his career. Shanahan has the eye for talent, so if the Bills can persuade him to come to Buffalo, they need to turn everything over to him and just let him rebuild from the ground up.
