Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie Retires Rather Than Keep Playing For The Raiders<em></em>

Former Giants and Cardinals defensive back Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie has announced his retirement today. He doesn’t appear to have suffered a season-ending injury, so perhaps his midseason departure has to do with the wear and tear, physical and emotional, of playing for the 1-6 Oakland Raiders....

David Price Has Earned Some Peace And Quiet

Every player’s happy to win a championship, but David Price might be the happiest of them all. He’s had to put up with a lot of shit this season.

Mike Francesa Rants About Reporter Who Made Fun Of His Expensive App

Mike Francesa’s return to WFAN has been underwhelming, although if you’ll recall what he was doing before he retired for four months, it’s actually in line with the personality of a 60-something radio guy who hates to take direction. The most interesting thing about him right now is a feud he’s star...

Days After Eric Reid Called Him Out, Malcolm Jenkins Goes To Bat For Colin Kaepernick

Did You Hear About This? The Giants Have Two Players Named Eli, And They Traded The Wrong Freakin' One!

Today, the New York Giants traded Eli ... cornerback Eli Apple, that is. Ah, did you think it’d be their once-great, now-disintegrating quarterback Eli Manning? Don’t you look like an ass, now! It was in fact their underwhelming defensive player, who’s going to the Saints for some late picks....

The Bills Did Not Get The Derek Anderson Renaissance, But They'll Give It Another Shot

Bills quarterback Nathan Peterman was so dreadful last week, the team had to bench him for 35-year-old Derek Anderson, who hadn’t started a game since 2016 but was the only remaining healthy QB on the roster, for Sunday’s contest against the Colts. Ah, but therein lies a conundrum: When Derek Ander...

Eric Reid Calls Malcolm Jenkins A "Sellout" And "Neo-Colonialist" After Panthers Win

Panthers safety Eric Reid’s visible beef with Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins in today’s game was indeed for the expected reasons.

Brandon Ingram Shoves James Harden; Rajon Rondo Brawls With Chris Paul [UPDATES]

Somehow, the events that led to this fistfight started out with wayward bozo Lance Stephenson as one of the players trying to keep the peace.

The Jaguars Don't Want To Wait For Their Hamstrung Running Back
