Three former UK quarterbacks were cut by NFL teams today.

Andre’ Woodson was released by the New York Giants, according to report on a blog on NFL.com. The Giants also released veteran Anthony Wright, meaning they currently have just two quarterbacks on its roster: Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning and former No. 1 overall pick David Carr.

The Indianapolis Colts let Jared Lorenzen go also. Lorenzen and Quinn Gray were both cut, leaving Indy with Peyton Manning and Jim Sorgi as its two quarterbacks.

Shane Boyd was also cut by the Houston Texans.

For those folks coming to Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium for the game, be sure and tune into Louisville’s 93.9 “The Ticket” at 1 p.m. I will be making an appearance on the station’s pre-game radio show, joining former U of L quarterback Dave Ragone and ex-Cardinal head coach John L. Smith.

Ryan Mossakowski, the four-star quarterback from Texas who committed to Kentucky last month, opened his prep season with a bang last night, passing for four touchdowns in Centennial’s 71-20 romp over Denton. According to Rivals.com, Denton played a little more than a half and went 24-for-33 for 273 yards and had TD passes of 46, 30, 10, and 10 yards. Mossakowski, ranked he No. 9 pro-style QB in the country with the nation’s second-strongest arm by Rivals.com,  chose the Wildcats over Texas A & M and Alabama.

UK recruit Morgan Newton will be at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium on Sunday for the Kentucky-Louisville game, Newton’s father, Dr. John Newton said on Thursday. Newton, a five-star quarterback from Carmel, Ind., committed to the Wildcats earlier this month.

Newton attended last year’s Kentucky-Louisville game, and said the Wildcats’ 40-34 win helped spark his interest in UK. Carmel is a 1 1/2 hour drive from Louisville. Kickoff is set for 3:30 on ESPN.

Louisville mayor Jerry Abramson and Lexington mayor Jim Newberry have made a friendly wager on Sunday’s Governor’s Cup between the University of Louisville and University of Kentucky football teams.

If U of L wins, Abramson will ship Newberry a Louisville cycling jersey, which Newberry will wear for one week when he’s biking.  If UK wins, Abramson will agree to wear a Lexington bike jersey for one week when he cycles on evenings and weekends. Both mayors appeared separately on the Rick Bozich radio show on Thursday.

“I can’t wait to see Mayor Newberry in a Louisville cycling jersey - and I have no worries that I’ll have to wear a Lexington jersey,” Abramson said. “The Cardinals will hand the Cats a stunning defeat.”

The new Louisville bike jerseys will be officially unveiled on Monday, at the Mayor’s Healthy Hometown Hike & Bike. They will be on sale for $60. Bicycling Magazine this month named Louisville one of the three most improved cities in America for cycling.
