The 2013 NFL season got off to an incredible start in Week 1 with some amazing individual performances, a few upsets and several fantastic finishes. Here's what we learned from Sunday's games:

On Wednesday the NCAA announced that it had suspended Texas A&M quarterback and defending Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel for the first half of the Aggies' upcoming game against Rice. The question is, does the crime fit the punishment?

Just because the weather gets a little colder soon, doesn’t mean that Missoula and Western Montana close the blinds and hibernate for the winter. In fact, the opposite is true. There is just as much to enjoy about our fair city when the snow flies, as when the sun shines 20 hours a day...

Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel has had quite the off-season, and drama just continues to find the Heisman Trophy winner.

UPDATED 3:00 p.m. ET: Former New England Patriots tight Aaron Hernandez end has been charged with murdering Odin Lloyd, as well as other weapons-related crimes.

For a long stretch of time it felt as though every few years an NCAA university football program was caught abusing the rules and manipulating the system. These days it seems that not a single month goes by without hearing allegations of cheating by a major national football power...

An investigation commissioned by the family of late Penn State football coach Joe Paterno called the university-sanctioned study of the alleged cover up by Paterno and university administrators of child sex abuse charges against former PSU assistant Jerry Sandusky 'inaccurate' and 'unfounded' in a media release on Sunday.

Joe Flacco threw three touchdown passes, and the Baltimore Ravens withstood a stadium power outage and a furious 49ers' rally to beat San Francisco, 34-31, at Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans on Sunday night.

In the week leading up to Super Bowl XLVII, it sometimes seemed there were more members of the media than fans in New Orleans. The result? Microphones and video cameras were everywhere picking up dumb comments by 49ers and Ravens players who would probably much rather just play the game. Here are the 5 dumbest things said during Super Bowl week:

The Super Bowl has become just as big a part of our American culture as Thanksgiving and the 4th of July. I ask myself why it has yet to be considered a national holiday? It is not just about football, but also about the gathering of friends and consuming food. So much food that antacid sales go up 20% the day following the big game.
