Peyton Manning Told Emmanuel Sanders To Be Ready For His Self-Sack
For a Broncos’ offense without much going in the air (Peyton Manning’s struggles didn’t magically go away, though the receivers’ drops may have hurt more than anything else), Denver’s longest play from scrimmage was a weird one. Early in the fourth quarter, Manning slid to the turf to avoid perceive...

Here's A Ridiculous Story From Cam Newton's Combine Interviews
I highly recommend Tim Keown’s profile of Cam Newton for ESPN.com. While the portrayal definitely comes down on the positive side of one of sports’ more polarizing athletes, it presents plenty of red meat for those who like him and for those who can’t stand him. And that’s kind of the point. This pr...
Russell Westbrook Ejected As Thunder And Mavs Get Into It
Mavericks-Thunder was never going to be close, not with Dallas resting all five starters after an overtime game the night before.

The Canucks And Panthers Nearly Brawled After Their Game
Vancouver ended Florida’s 12-game winning streak with an OT goal by Daniel Sedin (off a feed from his twin brother Henrik), but the real action came after the final horn. It also featured, from Panthers TV guy Denis Potvin, one of the most inexplicable insults I’ve ever heard....
