Take Our Survey On Boycotting The NFL And Don't You Dare Lie
Yahoo and YouGov teamed up to survey over a thousand Americans about how they felt about Colin Kaepernick-inspired protests during the national anthem. Though the release is suspiciously light on methodology, the headline finding is that 44 percent of self-identified NFL fans said they would stop wa...
Cam Newton Says Some Things To Colin Kaepernick
Simply by virtue of being a famous and talented black quarterback, Cam Newton was always going to get questions about Colin Kaepernick’s refusal to stand for the national anthem. Perhaps sensing that those questions aren’t going away anytime soon, Newton today released a statement of sorts on his In...
Donnel Pumphrey Is Small, Fast, And On His Way To Becoming An All-Time Great
The beautiful and frustrating thing about college football, and college sports in general, is that you can follow an entire season as a committed viewer, watch every game televised on FOX, ESPN, CBS, and NBC, and still end up having not viewed a single snap of some the game’s most exciting players—t...
That Might Be The Last You See Of Adrian Peterson As A Viking
Adrian Peterson tore a meniscus in his right knee on Sunday night, and announced today he’s going to have surgery tomorrow to repair it. In the absolute best-case scenario, he’ll only be back for the playoffs. Much more likely, he’s out for the season. And after that?...
Marshawn Lynch On Colin Kaepernick Is Very Good
It’s not that recently retired RB Marshawn Lynch doesn’t like talking. He just very much cares about choosing the time and place and topic, and when he does have something to say, it’s quite often worth listening to....
E.J. Price Transfers From USC; Coach Clay Helton Denies Price Punched Him
USC has stumbled into their football season by getting ground into powder by Alabama, losing big at Stanford, then capping off their 1-2 start with a nice little quarterback controversy. People in and around L.A. are not happy. Tonight, the first domino fell....
Look At How Excited Thomas Davis Is
The Carolina Panthers played with their food (the San Francisco 49ers) for a long time before they finally finished them off this weekend. The defense came up with a touchdown and a pair of picks, but they also allowed Vance McDonald to get loose for a 75-yard touchdown. They’ll be fine, probably, b...
Las Vegas's Play For The Raiders Keeps Getting Shadier
With the public wising up to the con of taxpayer-financed stadiums, the group invested in moving the Oakland Raiders to Las Vegas is doing all it can to remove the public from the process. And Roger Goodell and the NFL are loving it....
USC Is Already A Mess
This past weekend, USC got stomped out by Stanford. That such a development is barely a blip on the radar is, as others have pointed out, alarming in an of itself from the USC perspective, and already first-year head coach Clay Helton appears to be cracking under the pressure....
It's Probably Time To Write Off The Bears
Maybe because in the Jay Cutler era the Bears have typically ranged from mediocre-bad to mediocre-good, spots on a relatively short continuum that usually requires the bulk of the season to pinpoint, this team gets treated as potentially relevant for far longer than it should. Let’s not fall for it ...
Carson Wentz Sure Looks Legit
Carson Wentz won the second straight start of his professional career over the Bears tonight, 29-14. The Bears are no great foe (Pro Football Focus had their secondary as the second-worst in football), but Wentz led his offense this evening with rare composure for a neophyte. He threw for 190 yards,...

The Fan Experience At The Rams' Stadium Sounded Like Hell [Update]
The L.A. Coliseum, current home of the Los Angeles Rams, has hosted two preseason games and one regular-season NFL game, and it’s already emerging as the most fan-hostile building in the NFL. Impressive!...
Seahawks Heavily Penalized For Overly Intense Offseason Workouts
Like the Giants winning the World Series, Pete Carroll and the Seattle Seahawks strike during even years....
Report: The Browns Fired A Bunch Of Scouts Who Liked Carson Wentz
I do not know what the future holds for the careers of Jared Goff, Carson Wentz, or the buttload of draft picks the Browns received from Philadelphia for the rights to Wentz. I only know that Cleveland could desperately use a quarterback now and going forward, and that the Eagles firmly believe they...
The Browns Wanted To Suck, And The Injury Gods Have Obliged Them
The Cleveland Browns went into this season tanking about as openly as you’ll ever see in the NFL. With the front office now controlled by Ivy Leaguers, the Browns spent the offseason stockpiling draft picks—they drafted 14 players in June, all of whom made the 53-man roster, and have another dozen-p...
Adrian Peterson Has A Torn Meniscus
Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson left Sunday’s game early with a leg injury and had to be carried back to the locker room. Today, head coach Mike Zimmer said that Peterson had torn his meniscus....
Alex Boone's Gentle Suggestion To Vikings Fans: "Shut The Fuck Up A Little Bit"
It was a feel-good game all-around: the Vikings beat the rival Packers on national TV, moved to 2-0, witnessed a fantastic debut by Sam Bradford, saw a repeat star performance from Stefon Diggs, and opened their shiny, new, bird-murdering stadium....
Raiders Fan Knocks Out Raiders Fan In Extremely Slow Fight
At Sunday’s Oakland Raiders game, Derek Carr (not actually Derek Carr) and Khalil Mack (not actually Khalil Mack) had a disagreement in the stands. The nature of the dispute is unclear, because the video starts with a puzzled Mack watching Carr get into a stance before Carr jabs his hand right into ...
Georgia Fan Celebrates Too Hard, Ends Up In Hospital
My first instinct when watching a video of a sports fan losing his or her mind is to think the whole thing is staged. So I was skeptical about this rowdy Georgia fan who lost his shit during Saturday’s game against Mizzou:...
