The one he got, the one he begged for, paid him $12,000 a year and afforded a couch in his boss’s apartment in Midtown Manhattan to sleep on.That job was with a football scouting company called The War Room. His boss was Gary Horton, a former scout for Bill Belichick’s Cleveland Browns in the 1990s who sold the company to ESPN in 2006.Now, McShay is a college football analyst at ESPN and one of the most prominent voices [...]

Drew Lock’s performance against Purdue included some of his best throws of the season… and by far his worst.Start with the good. Lock’s touchdown to Jalen Knox in the second quarter came on a 21-yard frozen rope between a linebacker, cornerback and safety all in zone coverage. It hit Knox in stride and he took it another 38 yards for a score.Lock should have had a touchdown on his second throw of the game, a perfectly-placed 36-yard toss up the left [...]
