Brian Hoyer Couldn't Remember The Plays After Suffering A Concussion
The Houston Chronicle reports that Brian Hoyer will not play on Sunday vs. the Jets, with T.J. Yates starting and newly signed Brandon Weeden backing up. Hoyer has yet to pass the tests to get out of the NFL’s concussion protocol, after a scary reaction to what looked at the time like a workaday hit...
The Jose Fernandez Trade Rumors Just Started And Reporters Are Fighting About Them
Oh yeah, it’s hot fucking stove season. The most interesting and most frighteningly plausible (given the franchise involved) blockbuster deal being bandied about would involve the Marlins trading away starter Jose Fernandez, an insanely talented 23-year-old under team control for the next three year...
No One's Responsible For Chip Kelly's Offense But Chip Kelly
In addition to a concussion, Eagles QB Sam Bradford also suffered a separated shoulder in Sunday’s loss to Miami, according to ESPN. It looks like it’ll be Mark Sanchez under center for at least the next game, which, given Bradford’s play, may or may not be a good thing as Philadelphia desperately n...
<i>AP Stylebook</i> Declares Which College Teams Get To Go By Their Initials
I said this the last time I blogged about the Associated Press sports styles, and I’ll say it again: I find this stuff fascinating, and it’s my blog, so if you don’t like it you can just go right back to the toilet you came from....
The NHL All-Star Game Is Moving To 3-On-3
The NHL All-Star Game will drop the “fantasy draft” format and switch to a 3-on-3 mini-tournament, according to TSN’s Bob McKenzie, who says the league will officially announce the format later today. It could be fun! It could be really boring, just like every other iteration. ...
Oh God, Alex Poythress Caught His Teeth In The Net
Late in Kentucky’s dominant-looking 74-63 win over Duke, Jamal Murray went behind the back and found Alex Poythress for a nice-alley oop:...
Evgeni Malkin's Beautiful Dangle Was Exactly What The Penguins Needed
Heading into last night, the Penguins were a respectable 10-7-0, but they weren’t scoring. Marc-Andre Fleury has been amazing, but the offense—headed by two of the best players in the world in Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, and bolstered by the offseason addition of Phil Kessel—had been bloodless....
Deadspin Up All Night: We've Seen Some Change
Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. Pour one out....
Tony Romo Is Back And Is Somehow Still Thinking Super Bowl
With the rest of the NFC East looking like a shambling mediocrity, the division seemed like it was the Cowboys’ to take. Then Tony Romo got hurt in the second half of Week 2, and the Cowboys haven’t won since. And yet, somehow, they’re not out of the playoff hunt yet, and Romo will return off IR to ...
The Rams Finally Bench Nick Foles
That it’s taken this long for the Rams to make the switch from Nick Foles, who has led St. Louis to league-worst marks in just about every passing metric, is more a testament to the fact that Plan B isn’t very attractive either. But at 4-5, they aren’t out of things yet, so why not put up a Hail Mar...
Decision Not To Evacuate Stade de France During Paris Attacks May Have Saved Many Lives
On Friday, at around 9:15 p.m. Paris time—15 minutes into the France-Germany friendly—a man attempted to enter the Stade de France at Gate D, on the stadium’s east side. Under his clothes he wore a vest packed with explosives and metal bolts, meant to kill and maim as many people around him as he co...
The Giants Just Can't Seal The Deal
Of the New York Giants’ five losses this season, three of the opponents’ game-winning scores have come with a combined eight seconds left. Last night’s 27-26 New England win, one of the best football games of the year, required Tom Brady to use all but one second of the 1:47 the Giants gave him, and...
Peyton Manning Needs To Sit
Peyton Manning is racking up injuries almost as fast as interceptions. (Almost.) Two weeks ago, it was his right, throwing shoulder. Last week it was his right foot, the one he’s clearly struggling to push off of and floating weak, underthrown balls. Before yesterday’s terrible 29-13 loss to Kansas ...
