T.Y. Hilton Nearly Broke Down Talking About His Newborn Daughter
Just hours removed from the birth of daughter Eugenia—Gigi, for short—Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton barely fought back the tears while talking to CBS after the Colts' win, and the touchdown he had promised to his baby girl....
Aaron Rodgers Is A Sniper
This sort of dead-eyed efficiency might be standard among NFL quarterbacks, and it’s just that we rarely see it from this angle. But I’m guessing not:...
Your NFL Week 12 Viewing Maps
There's a clear main event at 1:00, with the 7-3 Lions traveling to see the 8-2 Patriots. Then 4:00 gives us co-main events with the 6-4 Dolphins at the 7-3 Broncos and the 9-1 Cardinals at the 6-4 Seahawks. This is solid....
Reports: RGIII Could Be Benched As Early As Today
At first glance, this is just the dumbest piece of news:...
Middle-Schooler Turns Into The Star Of Mark Helfrich's Postgame
After Oregon's win over Colorado yesterday, O'Hara Catholic School (Ore.) sixth-grader Charlie Pape' asked Ducks coach Mark Helfrich a question. We learned that Charlie Pape' doesn't do softballs....
Jameis Winston Wouldn't Take "No" For An Answer From That Official
In the third quarter of Florida State's 20-17 win over Boston College, Jameis Winston attempted, twice, to physically wrest an official out of the way so he could run a play. It was a weird moment, and per the letter of the law, Winston should have been ejected. But what the hell was actually happen...
"We Want Colt! We Want Colt!": Your Guide To Ignoring The NFL Today
In a recent Washington Post poll, 65 percent of respondents predicted that someone not named Robert Griffin III will be Washington's starting quarterback in 2015. What's awful about that is not the majority, but the probability that they're right....
Hawai'i Beats UNLV With Last-Second Touchdown Pass
Ikaika Woolsey's 20-yard touchdown pass to Marcus Kemp on the final play of the game gave Hawai'i a two-game winning streak and a 37-35 win over conference rivals UNLV....
Florida State Keeps Ruining Florida State Losses
I'm starting to think Florida State is just trolling all of us and will get into the playoffs and destroy everybody, 63-0. They have to be doing this on purpose....
Bethune-Cookman Wins Florida Classic With Gutsy Two-Point Conversion
Bethune-Cookman has been playing Florida A & M for nearly a century, and has come out on the wrong end of the scoreline far more often than they've won what's now known as the Florida Classic. (The worst? A 97-0 beatdown in 1960.) Things weren't looking too hot for them today, either, as the Rattler...
Melvin Gordon's Rushing Record Is Now Samaje Perine's Rushing Record
Poor Melvin Gordon ran through a stout defense last week for 408 yards, an all-time FBS record. The single-game FBS rushing champ got to wear that crown for a week....
DeAndre Hopkins' Favorite 4th-Grade Memory? Eating Pudding In Class
The pictures in this post come to us from a tipster, whose fiancée went to elementary school in Clemson, South Carolina with Houston Texans wideout DeAndre Hopkins. Like many kids, Hopkins aspired to be a professional athlete. Unlike most kids, he actually made it....
Marshall Escapes Doom Twice, Scores Wild Tip-Drill Touchdown
Marshall's undefeated, though you wouldn't know it by watching ESPN or listening to the college football playoff committee. You don't get to that kind of record without some luck, though, and that's what the Thundering Herd had on this play against UAB today when Rakeem Cato somehow escaped a sack, ...
Duke Assistant Attempts To Pump Up Team By Losing His Damn Mind
Before Duke took on rival UNC last night, cameras caught undergraduate assistant Chris Hoover getting the Blue Devils pumped up for the big game. That is one amped-ass assistant!...
Jonas Gray Gets Belichicked
Even though Jonas Gray had the best game of his short career last Sunday, Bill Belichick didn't let it slide when the running back was late to practice today. Gray says he was late because his phone died, so his alarm didn't go off, but Belichick's hardass rules bend for no one. The team held Gray o...
Bills Tell Fans To Call Domestic-Violence Hotline For Ticket Refunds
With Jets-Bill being moved to Monday in Detroit, snowbound Buffalo-area fans are naturally concerned about getting their refunds. The Bills put up a post on their website listing their options, and told fans to call a number with any questions. It was not the right number. ...
Mike Evans Is Too Big, Too Fast, And Too Physical For Defenses To Stop
You should ignore the two-win Buccaneers and their two-bit alarm-clock uniforms. The Bucs suck, and have been on the end of some of the worst beatdowns of the year. There is at least one bright spot, however: Mike Evans is putting up crazy numbers, and he's only 21....
The Raiders Win And The NFL Circle Of Parity Is Complete
It had been more than a full calendar year since the Raiders last won a game (those salad days of Matt McGloin and Rashad Jennings) but there was joy in the rain yesterday, a stirring 24-20 win over the rival Chiefs. Maybe a 1-10 record doesn't seem like much to you, but there may not be many nights...
The Raiders Create A New Definition Of "Excessive Celebration"
The Raiders finally won a game Thursday night, but they wouldn't be the Raiders if it didn't come with a boneheaded, self-inflicted wound. Facing 3rd and 6 from the Oakland 45 with less than a minute left, Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith was sacked by Raiders linebacker Sio Moore. It was a pretty go...
