When Will The Browns Cut Johnny Manziel?
The Cleveland Browns are completely done with Johnny Manziel; Hue Jackson’s comments at the combine are as close to confirmation as anyone needs. But while every other team was cutting their dead weight last week, the Browns aren’t going to do anything until 4 p.m. EST today at the earliest—and poss...
Report: The Broncos Would Go After Colin Kaepernick If They Lose Brock Osweiler
There hasn’t been a defending Super Bowl champion with a quarterback question this glaring since, well, the last time the Broncos won and their QB retired. (Brian Griese did not turn out to be the answer.) But Denver enters free agency with Brock Osweiler unsigned and reportedly very interested in h...
Chris Cooley Has A Whole Bunch Of Thoughts On RGIII
Four years ago today, Washington agreed to send three first-round picks and a second-rounder to St. Louis for the right to move up to draft Robert Griffin III. Today, Griffin is a free agent, and the man the Skins selected on the third day of that draft is their QB and set to make $20 million....
Dana White Says Holly Holm Fucked Up By Not Waiting For Ronda Rousey Rematch
Holly Holm was never more valuable as a fighter than after her shock win over Ronda Rousey in November, and there would have been no more valuable fight in the history of women’s UFC than a rematch between the two. Both of those things are out the window now, after Holm was choked out by Miesha Tate...
Eagles-Dolphins Trade Could Be Off Because Of Byron Maxwell's Shoulder
The NFL’s two-day “legal tampering period,” on top of having a silly name, is a silly idea. It’s designed for teams to talk to agents before free agency officially opens, but they’re not supposed to agree to deals, not even in principle. They always do, of course—that’s why those deals are officiall...
NHL Expansion Isn't Going As Smoothly As Everybody Hoped
The NHL was no doubt disappointed when only two potential ownership groups were able to submit realistic bids for expansion teams, because it meant there would be that much less margin for error: if Las Vegas or Quebec City couldn’t follow through or properly impress some skeptical owners, there wou...
Maria Sharapova Claims She Didn't Click The Link That Would Have Told Her Her Drug Was Banned
World No. 7 Maria Sharapova could face a ban as long as four years from the sport (though likely much shorter) for testing positive for meldonium, long one of athletes’ favorite legal substances before it made its way onto the World Anti-Doping Agency’s banned list on Jan 1. If her explanation is to...
Eagles' Trades Show Who's Really Running The Team
It was a year ago, in the span of one crazy week, when the Eagles signed DeMarco Murray and Byron Maxwell and traded for Kiko Alonso. They were the crown jewels of Chip Kelly’s first offseason after winning a power struggle for control of Philadelphia’s personnel decisions. Now, in the span of a day...
Peyton Manning Quotes <i>Forrest Gump</i> To Question About UT Allegations
Peyton Manning was all smiles and tears at his retirement press conference, at least until he was finally asked the question that everyone seemed to be waiting for. Toward the end of the presser, USA Today’s Lindsay Jones brought up the recently resurfaced allegations made by a former Tennessee athl...
Ostrich Thinks It's A Damn Cyclist
Oleksiy Mishchenko and friends were out for a pre-race ride on the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa when they were joined by a freaking ostrich. This is the closest anyone will ever get to riding alongside a trained Velociraptor. ...
Report: The Broncos Could Lose Brock Osweiler To The Texans
The conventional wisdom on developing a quarterback is that it’s best to stash the guy for a while, sit him for a few years behind a veteran and then hand over the keys when he’s more physically, mentally, and emotionally prepared. The Broncos looked like they played it to perfection, drafting Brock...
Fan Saves Child From Flying Bat
A remarkable photo here from Pittsburgh Tribune-Review photographer Christopher Horner, capturing the split second a quick-thinking fan reached out and deflected a bat that appeared on a collision course for a kid’s face....
Roddy White Says Kyle Shanahan Forced Him Out Of Atlanta
Roddy White’s release by the Falcons last week was not a huge surprise; it’s hard to justify a 34-year-old third WR with a $6 million-plus cap hit. But White’s an interesting case, because he didn’t precisely demonstrate that he can’t play anymore. Instead, he was simply phased out of the gameplan b...
Falcons Apologize For Asking Combine Prospect If He Likes Men
This morning Ohio State CB Eli Apple, who’s projected to go mid-first round in next month’s draft, appeared on Comcast SportsNet in Philadelphia and revealed the strangest question he’d been asked at the NFL scouting combine. Turns out, the strangest question he got was also the first....
It's Been A Bad Week For Guys You Would Have Killed To Have On Your Fantasy Team In 2010
On Wednesday, the Falcons cut Roddy White. On Thursday, the Texans released Arian Foster. Today, the Colts told Andre Johnson that he’s gone. These are depressing roster moves, and not so much because of how great these players once were—but because these are indisputably smart and correct decisions...
Albert Haynesworth Says He Was Nearly Killed By Brain Aneurysms
Former NFL DT Albert Haynesworth revealed that he spent 11 days in intensive care in 2014 after surgery to fix two brain aneurysms that, if left untreated, would have killed him....
Henrik Lundqvist Flips Shit, Flips Net

Huh, The NFL Might Actually Win Its Appeal On Tom Brady's Suspension
Though neither Roger Goodell nor Tom Brady appeared in the courtroom, today might’ve been the single most important day in this whole Ballghazi mess: the NFL and NFLPA made their cases in front of a three-judge panel that will decide, once and for all (barring one more appeal to the U.S. Supreme Cou...
