Ty Detmer Says Koy Detmer Faked An Injury So Philly Could Put Him On IR
Remember Ty and Koy Detmer, the quarterback brothers? Ty bounced around as a backup, while Koy largely hung on with the Eagles, also mostly as a backup. In 1997, when Koy was a rookie, the brothers were on the same Philly squad. As training camp wound down, the team needed to trim the roster, but wa...
Why Can't Richie Incognito Get A Job?

Big Ben Claims The Steelers Haven't Been Cursed By Justin Bieber
On Saturday, Justin Bieber and the Pittsburgh Steelers were both at a worship service.

Auburn's Fumbles Were As Costly As 204 Yards And Three TDs

Mark Sanchez Kept The Machine Running Smoothly And Then Had Cheesesteaks
This is not a declaration about how Mark Sanchez has revitalized his career in one night, nor of confident belief that the Eagles' playoff hopes are intact. If there's anything to draw from last night's blowout of the Panthers, it's just that Chip Kelly's team still has a chance. That's good enoug...
Cam Newton Should Have Just Stayed Down
Watching a primetime blowout like the one the Panthers and Eagles gave us last night is never all that fun, but they are even less fun when they include an increasingly hobbled quarterback getting tortured on national TV....
One Of The Weirdest Moments Ever On <em>Monday Night Football</em>, Made Weirder

Twitter Users Harass Marc Trestman's Daughters After Bears Loss
The Packers manhandled the Bears last night, and Chicago fans have had it with head coach Marc Trestman.

The Dez Bryant Smear Season Is Upon Us
Dez Bryant will be a free agent after the season, and the Cowboys would prefer to hammer out a contract extension for the wide receiver before then.

Drew Brees made several big plays to will the Saints into overtime and give his team a chance at beating the 49ers.

Carson Palmer Has A Torn ACL
It was pretty clear to anyone who saw it that Carson Palmer's knee injury was a serious one. Guys don't usually crumple to the ground without getting touched and grab their knee unless something very bad has happened. There's no official diagnosis yet, but the word from sources within the organizati...
Let The Burning Of The Jay Cutler Jerseys Begin
Coming off their bye week, Jay Cutler and the 3-5 Bears had plenty of time to prepare for the Green Bay Packers last night, plenty of time to patch up whatever problems gave way to a 51-23 loss to New England in Week 7. Last night's game presented a rested Bears team with some hope at getting a big ...

Cowboys WR Cole Beasley To Angry Dallas Fan: "Eat A Dick"
The Cowboys beat the Jaguars 31-17 today, but Dallas wide receiver Cole Beasley had a forgettable game, catching one pass for 11 yards and immediately fumbling that one reception. He dismissed the complaints on Twitter, but had a personal message for one Cowboys fan....
