On Tino

I have not been a Tino Sunseri basher, nor do I like to bash on college football players in general.  Despite the corruption in college sports, they still are, after all, college kids, and 99% of them will never play football again after they leave college.  That said, I have to agree with the comment that Peter King made in today's Monday Morning Quarterback:

Not a fan of Pitt quarterback Tino Sunseri saying after his kicker, Kevin Harper, missed a 33-yard field goal in overtime, "We missed a field goal. That's why we lost the game." What a teammate Sunseri is. Pitt blew a 20-6 lead in the fourth quarter, and Harper made four of five field goals in the 29-26 loss. But he missed the one field goal that would have won it in the second overtime. Everyone who watched the game, and everyone in the Pitt locker room, understands a makeable field goal would have won the game. But to put the spotlight on one guy -- that's not what the quarterback on a team should do.

While Sunseri has never been great, he has, at times, been a serviceable college quarterback in his years at Pitt, and the frequent coaching changes sure haven't helped him, but this is the kind of stuff for which he will be remembered.
