Sunday Scaries: The Week 11 bets to avoid

I Can Relate to DeSean Jackson’s Mistake. I Hope He Learns From It as I Did
The National Football League finds itself at the forefront of social engagement at a very delicate, complex pivot point in our nation’s history. The NFL’s focus ranges from acknowledging the relevance of the Black Lives Matter movement; to the omission of the inappropriate, now former, nickname of t...
Browns Lineman Ejected For Treating Opponent's Head Like A Soccer Ball
Cleveland Browns left tackle Greg Robinson had his day end in the second quarter when unwisely decided to boot Titans safety Kenny Vaccaro in the head. Way to be a dick, Greg....
What Swear Word Did Eli Manning Have To Look Up?
The putative news from Eli Manning’s appearance Wednesday on a panel discussion about brain injuries is that the Giants QB declared Odell Beckham Jr. to be the most talented player he’s ever played with. This is not “news,” as such, because: no duh. It also wasn’t the most interesting thing Manning ...
DeSean Jackson Wore His Newest Shirt To Announce His Return To The Eagles
This week, DeSean Jackson was traded from the Buccaneers back to the Eagles, where he spent his first six seasons in the NFL. To commemorate his new three-year, $30 million extension, he wore a very, very new shirt....
The Saints' Game-Changing Fake Punt Depended On Fletcher Cox's Indifference
Last weekend’s playoff game between the Saints and Eagles turned when the Saints successfully ran a fake punt while down 14-0 in the second quarter. They went on to end that extended drive with a touchdown, and eventually won the game 20-14. Thanks to a new clip released by the NFL Network, we know ...
A Miracle Just Slipped Through The Eagles' Hands
Alshon Jeffery is going to be the scapegoat only because every close game seems to end up with one—something to do with human psychology, I suppose. Yes, he let the ball go through his hands for a game-sealing interception in the Saints’ 20-14 playoff win. But there are plenty of other things to bla...
It's "Big Dick Nick"
“His throwing motion is a languid shrug, and his passes carve loopy, floaty arcs that seem certain to be intercepted until they settle softly into his receivers’ hands. On the field, he has no obvious rare athletic endowments that explain his success; only in the locker room, it is said by his teamm...
Philadelphia Eagles Twitter Account Run By Shameless Biter
One of the best subplots of the NFL season was the rise of Twitter user @CableThanos_, a Seahawks fan who earned himself some internet fame by producing charmingly deranged hype videos throughout Seattle’s run to the playoffs. Now, unfortunately, he has become the victim of shameless biting....
The Spanish Call Of Cody Parkey's Double-Doink Is Very, Very Good
Rickie Ricardo is the Spanish radio play-by-play guy for the Eagles (and, weirdly, the Yankees). He was in fine form Sunday evening, as Philly survived and advanced on a missed field goal by Cody Parkey. “I almost had a heart attack,” Ricardo tweeted of Parkey’s kick that banged off the upright, the...
Cody Parkey's Double-Doink Was Tipped
This is what the aftermath sounded like to Cody Parkey:...
Bears Complete 30-Yard Pass For No Gain As Officials Recover Fumble
The Eagles-Bears game got weird right before halftime when Eagles cornerback Cre’Von Leblanc wrested the ball from Bears receiver Anthony Miller in an impressive display of strength. The play was initially ruled an incompletion, but the inhuman standard of slow motion showed that Miller caught the b...
Days After Eric Reid Called Him Out, Malcolm Jenkins Goes To Bat For Colin Kaepernick
Eric Reid might have really shaken Malcolm Jenkins, or at least reminded him that NFLers were engaged in activism before the Players Coalition existed. Although Jenkins was terse after Reid confronted him before Sunday’s game and called him a “sellout” in a postgame interview, the Eagles safety toda...
Eric Reid Calls Malcolm Jenkins A "Sellout" And "Neo-Colonialist" After Panthers Win
Panthers safety Eric Reid’s visible beef with Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins in today’s game was indeed for the expected reasons. After Philly collapsed and Carolina took the 21-17 victory, Reid was at first hesitant to explain why he exchanged words with Jenkins during the pregame coin toss, but the...
Former NFL Linebacker's Solution For The Struggling Eagles: Hump Less
The Eagles are 2-3, but fortunately for them, their division sucks. Former NFL linebacker and Philly news anchor Garry Cobb has a suggestion to get the team back on track: Don’t let the players fuck....
This New Sack Rule Is Going To Drive Me Insane
The NFL’s confusing new helmet rule drew plenty of deserved attention and criticism during the preseason, but for all the plays and games it is going to muddy up, it is not the worst rule change implemented by the NFL this season. That honor belongs to the rule that heavily penalizes defensive playe...
The Eagles Successfully Ran The Play That Tom Brady Couldn't Complete In The Super Bowl
The Eagles’ offense had basically done nothing all night. They were booed at halftime in the first game of the NFL season. But in the third quarter, the team faced a third down in Falcons territory, so what did they do? They ran the trick play the Patriots failed to execute in the Super Bowl....
Eagles Fans, Why Are You Like This?
This week, Deadspin and Jezebel swap beats to celebrate America’s most dangerous and controversial pastimes: football and fashion, two sports that have far more in common than you think....
Please, God, I Can't Handle A Preseason Deflategate
Try to imagine the worst possible NFL preseason storyline. If you think hard enough, you’ll probably come up with the vague outlines of something involving... the Pittsburgh Steelers... deflated footballs... and... sports radio dingus Howard Eskin? Well guess what, asshole, that’s the shit we’re in ...
