Suddenly Everyone's Asking About Tony Romo
Let’s just make this clear right off the bat, before the blog machine starts rolling and before, god bless you, you listen to sports talk radio: I’m not saying there should be a quarterback controversy in Dallas.

That Was Derek Carr's Worst Game As A Pro

Odell Beckham, We Have Something You Should Read

After Monday’s blowout loss to the Colts, Jets head coach Todd Bowles told the media that Bryce Petty, who had come on in the third quarter for Ryan Fitzpatrick, would be the team’s starting quarterback for the rest of the season. Bowles said that he made the decision even before the game: “We could...
Report: Orioles Tell Free Agent Jose Bautista Their Fans Hate Him
This isn’t the greatest free agent pool, but there are still some sluggers on the board. One of those—though not as marquee a name as he was, say, 12 months ago, is outfielder Jose Bautista. And one of the teams looking for an outfielder (and, historically, loves to get power hitters in free agency)...
Jason Pierre-Paul Is Done For The Regular Season, And The Giants Are Going To Miss Him
Giants DE Jason Pierre-Paul underwent sports hernia surgery early this morning, and is expected to be out six weeks. That means Pierre-Paul could return for the conference championship, but the Giants’ chances of making it that far without him in the lineup are pretty grim....
