The Raiders' Super Bowl Hopes Probably Broke With Derek Carr
The biggest story in the NFL this holiday weekend was Derek Carr’s broken leg.

Jerry Jones Wants Tony Romo Kept Under Glass
The Dallas Cowboys’ enviable quarterback question, which rookie Dak Prescott effectively answered with his play, has been flipped on its head: Why not use backup Tony Romo as you would, you know, the backup, and protect Prescott for the games that really matter?...
What Did We Get Stuck In Our Rectums Last Year?<em></em><em></em>
Deadspin’s Christmas Day tradition returns. It is time to sound the depths of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s database of emergency room visits.

"It Hit My Ass": Jaromir Jagr Is The NHL's Second All-Time Leading Scorer

Dean Blandino Explains Why Yet Another Hit On Cam Newton Didn't Draw A Flag
The latest edition of What Will it Take for Cam Newton to Draw a Flag? aired on Monday night, when a scrambling Newton slid—maybe late—and got hit helmet-to-helmet—maybe glancing—by Washington LB Trent Murphy.

DeMarcus Cousins Got Ejected, Then Un-Ejected
It was a busy Tuesday for DeMarcus Cousins. Fresh off a $50,000 fine for berating a Sacramento Bee columnist (for which he offered a notably lacking apology), Cousins went out, had a monster game, got ejected, got un-ejected, scored 55 points, led the Kings to a big win over the Blazers, and then ga...
