Last week, America’s repository of historical artifacts denied acceptance into its collection the suit that O.J. Simpson, the 18th-ranked all-time career rusher and two-time murderer, wore in court on the day he was acquitted (of the murders, not the rushing yards – I’m not sure how one would be acquitted of that. Then again, I’m still not sure how he got acquitted of killing two people, so let’s call it a draw).
Hi there. Sidelines was doing a little holiday shopping and ran into backup St. Louis quarterback, Kyle Boller, and his new belle, Carrie Prejean, at a local Pottery Barn (they were looking for ottomans). Never willing to turn down an interview – no matter how impromptu – Sidelines set aside its adorable sailboat paper weights and asked the couple a few questions.
Game of the week: Patriots vs. Saints (-3)
In the past two weeks, the Bowl Championship Series has made a string of moves that are about as strange as that time your weird uncle Harold signed up for a MySpace account.

To celebrate, Sidelines ganders at other football roles deserving of a spot on the All-Time Football Movie Depth Chart.
