Eagles' Jason Peters Goes On Rant Against Bengals Lineman For Making All-Pro Team
Eagles lineman Jason Peters is never one to shy away from giving his opinion about something. A few weeks ago, he pulled himself from a loss to avoid risk of injury and was open about it. He’s at it again, this time in a series of now-deleted Instagram posts ranting about Bengals tackle Andrew Whitw...

Bill O'Brien Had No Choice
Yesterday, Brian Hoyer played one of the very worst games by an NFL quarterback in the playoffs that I’ve ever seen.

Deion Sanders Says Vontaze Burfict "Owes The Media" Answers

Giovani Bernard And The "Unfortunate Hit" That Knocked Him Out And Enraged The Bengals

Brain damage apologists at CBS defended the play as legal and simply called the play “unfortunate,” because...
Jeremy Maclin And J.J. Watt Both Leave Game With Injuries On The Same Play
J.J. Watt, who’d just spent a little bit on the sideline right before this play nursing a groin injury, had to stop his rush halfway through due to a flare up. Right after he went down, Chiefs lineman Eric Fisher got a cheap shot in on the neck of a defenseless Watt. Watt went into the locker room, ...

Rose Bowl Officials Condemn Stanford Band For Mocking Iowa During Halftime Show
The Stanford Marching Band—a performatively quirky group of college musicians currently banned from road games for “sexual hazing”—is continuing its truly remarkable run of pissing everyone off. They got to go to the Rose Bowl because it was a neutral site game, and they commemorated their trip by t...
Todd Haley Can't Feel Cold, Loves Wearing Shorts
Todd Haley is a pretty decent offensive coordinator who’s far more famous for being a frothing rage volcano. He’s messed with Rapoport, gotten mad at John Harbaugh over a preseason game, and has feuded with his quarterback. Hell, he pissed off notoriously chill guy Snoop Dogg of all people....

The College Football Playoff's Idiotic Scheduling Is Screwing Over ESPN
ESPN, just like everyone else, knew the TV ratings for this year’s College Football Playoff semifinal games would be down from last year’s. But ESPN was still way too optimistic—the games didn’t come close to the numbers they promised advertisers, and now ESPN owes tens of millions of dollars in fre...
Marvin Lewis Is Probably Boned (Again)
The Bengals looked like they’d nab a first-round bye in the playoffs, until Andy Dalton broke his thumb. Cincinnati finished with a 12-4 record and the third seed.
