Today's Names to Know: Bobby Petrino, Kosuke Fukudome, LeBron James, Tim Tebow, Rex Grossman, Jamie Mottram, Twitter, College Bowl Mania, More!

Bobby Petrino quits the Falcons to go to... Arkansas? Wow. That's huge. He lasted all of one season in the NFL. And, boy, was it one shitty season. (He didn't even last the entire season.)

First, that's kind of dickish on Petrino's part. If he didn't want to leave college, he never should have taken Arthur Blank's millions. (Fans all saw the college-to-pro failure coming a mile away.)

Meanwhile, by leaving Louisville last year the way he did, he totally screwed over Brian Brohm and a team that had national-title aspirations, but ended up a middling 6-6.

He moves to an Arkansas team that is losing superstar Darren McFadden and is coming off years of being a run-first offense; Petrino specializes in high-octane passing offenses. It will be an interesting transformation for a team in need of one in the post-McFadden era.

(Wow: How much of a chump does former Arkansas QB prodigy Mitch Mustain look like now? Instead of, say, playing QB for Petrino, who developed Brian Brohm into a Top 10 NFL Draft pick, he'll battle for PT at USC.)

And the SEC gets yet another ridiculously high-profile coach. In the SEC West alone, that's Bobby Petrino, Les Miles, Nick Saban, Tommy Tuberville, Houston Nutt and Sylvester Croom. Wow.

Obligatory Michigan angle: Hmm, Petrino would have looked awfully good as the new head coach at Michigan. And yet he was signed to coach Arkansas. Yet another humiliation (and failure) for Michigan and its AD, "Buffoon Bill" Martin.

Speaking of which...

Les Miles-to-Michigan rumor flares up, then is quashed by Miles himse...
