Earlier this week, former New York Giants and Arizona Cardinals safety Antrel Rolle reflected on his life in?football in a colorful essay posted on?The Players Tribune.The former three-time Pro Bowler touched on a wide swath of topics, from his parents advice to his early growing pains to his lifelong friendship with the late Sean Taylor, a former college teammate at the University of Miami who first befriended him in youth football in his hometown of Homestead, Fla.But Rolle also played in two of the most memorable Super Bowls since the turn of the new millennium, and his recounting of the wild catches that defined both of them is especially entertaining.Of Santonio Holmes game-winning touchdown catch for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the final minute of Super Bowl XLIII against the Cardinals, Rolle was incredulous that the Super Bowl MVP managed to come down with the ball?inbounds at the back pylon:The Steelers had run that same play three times earlier in the game and Roethlisberger didnt connect once. This time, they switched the side of the field and they ran it with Holmes. The ironic thing is that Roethlisberger was looking at Nate Washington on his first read, and I jumped the route. He cocked his arm to throw it to him. But Nate slipped. Roethlisberger literally just pulled the ball down and threw the it to the corner of the end zone instead. We had perfect coverage on that route.I turned my head and saw him make the catch, and Im like, Clearly hes out of bounds. Until I saw the replay. My heart just fell to my stomach.Rolle actually gives the New England secondary the benefit of the doubt on Mario Manninghams stupendous, tip-toe sideline catch that sparked the Giants fourth-quarter comeback in Super Bowl XLVI:As a defensive back, let me just say this: The safety played it perfectly. I mean, out of 100, I would give him a 105 for that coverage. It was that on point. It was just a case of great offense beating great defense. Eli hit what we call the honey-hole, the exact spot in the defense where the coverage is softest.I still see that play to this day, years after we won the Super Bowl. And even though I know we won, I have the same reaction every time. Damn. How the hell did he make that catch?One of Rolles favorite teammates in Arizona, cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, currently roams the secondary for Rolles former Giants. The two had a lot of fun together with the Cardinals and got particularly?creative with their signals to each other. When Rolle started dancing pre-snap, that meant one thing to Rodgers-Cromartie: jump the route.Ill never forget we were playing the Texans in 2009, and the game was tied with a little more than two minutes left. Man, I started dancing like crazy. I knew that the out to the sideline was coming. DRC looks at me, like, Yeah? O.K. then....Matt Schaub drops back, they run the out ... pop! DRC takes it for a touchdown.Theres only certain players you can do that with. You need to develop a certain type of chemistry. Ive always had that chemistry with my corners. I prefer for them to eat and I like to do the dirty work and hit people.They loved me for it. Ask them. Theyll tell you.Rolle, 33, hung it up this year after being released by the Chicago Bears in?May, just one year into the three-year, $11.25 million deal that he signed in 2015. He played just seven games in his only season with Chicago, thanks to a season-ending knee injury that he blamed on poor field conditions at Halas Hall. He made a spirited pitch for a return to the Giants, where he earned both of his All-Pro nods, but nothing?came of that.-- Brendan C.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- After some serious debate about moving to a nine-game conference football schedule, ACC athletic directors voted Wednesday to maintain the status quo.The ACC will continue to play eight league games with a requirement for a ninth game against a Power 5 nonconference opponent, the league announced Wednesday. The decision will cost each school about $500,000 in television revenue, industry sources told ESPNs Brett McMurphy.With a new TV deal in place with ESPN and the launch of a new ACC Network in the works for 2019, the league expanded its conference schedule for basketball (from 18 to 20 games, starting in 2019), but a move toward more intraconference football games was hotly contested by several schools with annual rivalry games outside the league.The new ESPN deal gave the schools three options: increase the league schedule to nine games with one nonconference Power 5 opponent; play eight league games with two nonconference Power 5 opponents; or stay at eight league games with one nonconference Power 5 opponent. ACC schools would have received the full amount of the deal between ESPN and the ACC by choosing either of the first two options. But the schools instead chose to remain status quo despite the reduced revenue.Clemson athletic director Dan Radakovich staunchly supported the status quo on conference schedulling.dddddddddddd. While the league will miss out on network incentives, he said it wasnt a major issue.Those were big numbers, but when you break it down after shares and dividing the dollars within the league, it was not anything that moved the needle, he said.Florida State, Georgia Tech and Louisville also strongly opposed an expanded league schedule because it would limit flexibility to schedule other out-of-conference games beyond their annual rivalry contests against the SEC.ACC commissioner John Swofford said maintaining the status quo on scheduling was majority rule, and If you look at our football right now, its as strong or stronger than its ever been. ... Its working, and hopefully that can continue.Other schools favored expanding conference play in order to see cross-divisional opponents more often and to simplify nonconference scheduling. The Big Ten, Big 12 and Pac-12 all play nine conference games, while the ACCs regional rival, the SEC, has stayed at eight.NC State athletic director Debbie Yow said she voted for the 9+1 schedule.I like playing conference teams. Now we play Duke twice in 12 years, she said. Theres a problem with that.ESPN spokesperson Josh Krulewitz declined comment Wednesday. ' ' '
