Eagles' Nolan Carroll Tackled An Idiot On The Field
Some drunk asshole ran onto the field during yesterday’s Eagles loss to Dallas. Philly CB Nolan Carroll took him down. The video from NBC DFW photojournalist Noah Bullard:...
Julian Edelman Goes Airborne
I love this photo (by Tom Szczerbowski/Getty Images) of Bills safety Aaron Williams attempting to tackle Julian Edelman in the third quarter of the Patriots’ 40-32 win in Buffalo. It looks like the future magnet-assisted sport of hover-football....
Pete Carroll Says The Refs Blew That Big Fumble Call
Midway through the fourth quarter, with Seattle down seven and driving, Russell Wilson was picked off by Jayrone Elliott on an attempted screen pass. But Elliott coughed up the ball, and after the pile-on was cleared, Seahawks tackle Justin Britt came up with it. Packers ball, the officials said. Ca...
Aaron Rodgers Makes Fun Of Russell Wilson By Crediting God For The Packers' Win
After the Packers’ 27-17 win over the Seahawks last night, Aaron Rodgers gave the credit to God. Which wouldn’t be a thing, normally: athletes do that all the time. Except Rodgers is already on record as believing God doesn’t care about Packers-Seahawks games. This was a shot at Russell Wilson....
Bear Cub Knows A Hammock's Where It's At
Tom’s on an airplane, but if he were here he’d note that this baby bear struggling with a hammock is different than last week’s baby bears struggling with a hammock, but it’s not weird that there’s two because bears know exactly how to kick back for the start of the weekend....
The Texans Will Finally Ditch Their Death-Trap Grass
Houston’s NRG Stadium has turf unlike anywhere else in the NFL: it is natural grass, that, when not in use, is sliced up into 8’x 8’ trays and taken out of the dome to get some sunlight. It has been by all accounts the NFL’s worst playing surface, with the lawyer of one former players suing over a c...
Texas High School Players Say They Were Told By Coach To Hit Referee
The two Texas high school football players caught on video drilling a referee appeared on Good Morning America today—with their attorney— and said the referee had used anti-Hispanic slurs, a charge the official, Robert Watts, has denied. The players also claimed that they were ordered to lay hits on...
Nobody Was Harder On Jamaal Charles Than Jamaal Charles, But Jim Nantz Tried
It takes a lot for a loss to stand out as particularly brutal for a team with a knack for brutal losses. I’d say this—with everything set up for the Chiefs to buck their losing trends against the Broncos and against Peyton Manning, until it was all fumbled away—does nicely....
Kyle Seager Trolled Jered Weaver Into Getting Ejected
You probably won’t see a beanball more obviously deliberate than the one Jered Weaver laid on Kyle Seager in last night’s 3-1 Mariners win. Or one more nonchalant....
Seahawks Coaches Don't Mind Marshawn Lynch's Mom Calling For Darrell Bevell's Job
The Seahawks’ predilection for theatrics generally works well for them—they’re winning, after all, and nothing can be too deleterious when you win. Which is why, if you’re a fan of drama, this team is going to be fun when it starts losing. The lighthearted controversies will turn histrionic, and the...
Here's Jason Pierre-Paul's Hand, Sort Of
Giants DE Jason Pierre-Paul has, as of the latest report, maybe three-and-a-half fingers on his right hand. Yesterday he posted an Instagram video of him working out, and gave the briefest glimpse of what that hand looks like....

Islanders Unveil Third Jersey
This morning, less than a week before the start of the preseason (hockey’s almost back!), the Islanders finally unveiled the black uniforms everyone assumed they’d get upon moving to Brooklyn. It’s fine, right? Better than ol’ Fish Sticks. ...
