Report: Geno Smith Missed A Meeting Because Of A Dumb Team Policy
The New York Jets got stomped to hell by the San Diego Chargers yesterday, and the 31-0 blowout was so bad that Jets starting quarterback Geno Smith was yanked before the start of the second half.

Bills Edge Imploding Lions With Field Goal; Jim Schwartz Carried Away
Lions kicker Alex Henery, who replaced previous Lions kicker Nate Freese roughly two weeks ago, will probably not be a Lions kicker for much longer.

Beats By Dre Banned From The Heads Of NFL Players

Watch the video above. You'll see Jake Locker scramble for a 10-yard touchdown and get clocked with a forearm shiver to the helmet.

Counterprogramming Football: What To Watch Today Instead Of The NFL

This Bama fan was sour after the Crimson Tide lost to Ole Miss, so he threw a cup at the jeering crowd. Bad idea.

Lou Holtz Doesn't Know What Ameer Abdullah's Name Is
Nebraska running back Ameer Abdullah is among a short list of players worthy of early-season Heisman talk, but ESPN college football analyst and race-baiter advocate Lou Holtz doesn't even know the Cornhuskers star's name—inserting, instead, something we're sure he finds appropriately "Ay-rabbic."...
