Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy: From Red River rivals to a budding friendship
IRVING, Texas — As if this kid hasn't taught us enough already, Sam Bradford has provided one more example of how to stay above the fray.

Actually, there are three examples.
Texas, Oklahoma State and Nebraska are Oklahoma's biggest rivals in football.
Here's what OU's starting quarterback has done since the first week of last December:
* During the 2008 Heisman Trophy festivities in New York City, Bradford said perhaps his most fond memories were from speaking to past Heisman winners.
Some of his favorite stories came compliments of former Nebraska I-back Mike Rozier. "He was fun to be around," Bradford said.
* Since last season, Bradford and OSU quarterback Zac Robinson have spoken together at the same church and attended various FCA events.
"I really enjoy hanging out and spending time with Zac," Bradford said.
* This summer, Bradford and Texas quarterback Colt McCoy attended Peyton and Eli Manning's Passing Academy in Thibodaux, La., where Bradford and McCoy were roommates.
