Tony Romo Thinks You Should Re-Measure That Spot
So Tony Romo was pretty great yesterday. (He's a pretty great quarterback.)

But that's no...
Report: Richie Incognito Will Never Play Another Game As A Dolphin

Dan Snyder Has A Redskins Basketball Court
Dan Snyder hesitates at the top of the arc. "Ahhhhhh," he hisses, simulating the crowd noise of thousands of fans, all here to see Dan the Man land another rim-rattling slam. He fakes left, and drives to his right. A spin move in the paint! Then up, up goes Snyder, dunking the ball with authority on...
Northwestern's Very Literal "Wounded Warrior" Unis Have Blood Spatters
Northwestern will be wearing these very special uniforms against Michigan on Nov. 16. Having been beaten down by the ubiquity of one-off unis, it's hard to get upset about the asymmetrical patriotic mishmash. It's even tough to muster up outrage over the fact that just 10 percent of proceeds from je...
Football Players Hate Each Other More Than You Think
We were sitting around in Jimmy's* room one night during second semester and Jimmy told me I had to have a nickname. I was excited for this. I really wanted a nickname. I thought having a nickname would make me cool as shit. Maybe my nickname would be Margarita, which kind of sounded like my last na...

Riley Cooper Hasn't "Been Through" Anything
Nick Foles, a quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, gave an interesting quote to Peter King after a seven-touchdown performance today.

Michael Vick was sitting with a hamstring injury he re-aggravated last week, so Nick Foles got his chance as Philadelphia's quarterback of the week. It's safe to say he did an acceptable job, throwing an astounding seven touchdowns (along with 406 yards) in a 49-20 rout of the Raiders....

Florida Gators Fan Has No Idea His Head Is Covered In Peanut Shells
The Sunday morning Florida football replay program Breakfast With The Gators is one of our favorites; it's a totally separate production from what you see on Saturday, and it's heavy on the crowd shots (we featured one creepy moment last year). Sadly ESPN is killing Breakfast With The Gators, so we...

He didn't even have to run anywhere!...
Rob Ryan Loves New Orleans, And New Orleans Loves Rob Ryan
After being fired and blamed for the Cowboys' failure last season, defensive coordinator Rob Ryan went to the Saints. With his scheme, the Saints' defense has substantially improved, allowing Drew Brees to create a lead and keep it. It's worked so far, as the Saints are 6-1, but fans in New Orleans...
