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

Counterprogramming Football: What To Watch Today Instead Of The NFL
In evaluating the NFL's concussion protocol, it's important to look at why concussions are dangerous in the first place. For helpful perspective on this, let's step away from football and look at a much more direct activity centered around doing awful damage to an opponent's brain: boxing....
Alabama Fan Throws Cup At Crowd, Is Promptly Taken Out
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."...

This Demented Letter About A Packers Party Is In Comic Sans, Of Course
Green Bay Press-Gazette editor Amy Bailey wrote her Oct. 1 column about an incident at a Packers viewing party she attended.
