You’ve been made to think vans are creepy. Chances are, you wouldn’t get in one. And if someone offered to give you a tour of their van – well, see the second sentence. You probably wouldn’t go for it. Unless it was Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan offering.

Though we’ll never know exactly why he did it, Junior Seau’s suicide has thrown the NFL’s player safety issues back into focus. And today, in a rare visit to the SportsCenter studio, Tony Kornheiser addressed the increasing concern over safety in football, and what it could mean for the sport down the line.

Earlier today, we talked about Cris Carter admitting on Sportscenter that he had taken part in a self-defense bounty system, used to deter opposing players from taking his head off. He cited Bill Romanowski as an example, saying Romanowski once told him before kick off that he was going to “end [Carter's] career.” What does the former linebacker have to say about that? Video after the jump.

Ever since news of the Saints’ bounty program first came to light, one of the prevailing fan thoughts has been: “Well, the Saints got caught, but let’s face it: there were clearly a ton of other bounty programs in the NFL, too.” Want proof of that? Just ask Cris Carter.

Whose grandma is this? Well, I’ve got some news for you, grandchild — your grandma is awesome.

She is, unquestionably, an inspiration to us all. Seriously. Video after the jump.

Well, Terrell Owens was on the Dr. Phil set today for his public shaming hour to face accusations of deadbeat-dad-dom from three women with whom he’s fathered children. As you might expect, things got a little uncomfortable at times.

The hot-button issue of the moment is head trauma in football, and it’s being given an entire week’s worth of attention from ESPN’s Outside the Lines. Today, the issue’s polarizing nature was once again on display, causing men on TV to freak the fuck out on each other.

Remember after the Super Bowl, when Tom Brady looked miserable (obviously) and there were a bunch of great photos of Gisele consoling him, and then Gisele ripped into the Pats’ receivers a little bit? Well, those days are long over.

Behind most great athletes is a maniacal workout routine of some sort, and for Jerry Rice, it took the form of “the Hill.” Rice ran 2.5 miles up that hill “every day” during his playing days, and apparently he’s ready to see if the next generation of 49ers receivers can do the same.
