Don't read, just watch the video. Even when you know trickery is coming, you're probably going to lose track of the football. Imagine how tough it was for Ball State defenders....
Mike Munchak Left The Titans Rather Than Fire His Assistants
After three seasons in Nashville, all with nine or 10 losses, and 31 years with the organization, Mike Munchak parted ways with the Titans this weekend. And to hear him tell it, he fell on his sword....
Colin Kaepernick Is Cold-Blooded
Colin Kaepernick forgot to strap on his wristband with his team's plays when he took the field for the second half, forcing the 49ers to burn a timeout. He let cornerback Micah Hyde read his eyes on a pass late in the fourth, and only Hyde's drop kept it from being a backbreaking interception. Cling...
Cool Offsides Penalty Has No Effect On 49ers Win
Joe Buck and Troy Aikman might have underplayed how close the 49ers-Packers game was to giving us extra football. Phil Dawson's game-winning kick went through Davon House's arms before it went through the uprights—though House may have been was offsides—as San Francisco won in Lambeau Field, 23-20....
Philip Rivers Is Pumped, But How The Hell Did The Chargers Win?
What? Huh? San Diego, a team that eked its way into the playoffs in the final weeks, will take on the Broncos for the third time this season after beating the Bengals 27-10. Philip Rivers must have also talked to Ric Flair before his game....
Andy Dalton Is Just Having A Bad Day
Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton just threw his second pick, and the Chargers have the ball with a 10-point lead nine minutes left in the game. He threw 20 interceptions in the regular season, so these turnovers aren't really an aberration. They're still not helpful, though....
Eagles Fan Spits On Saints Fan Moments After Losing
Saints fan Nick Scelfo was at the Linc to watch his team win on a field goal as time expired. He recorded the moments after the Eagles lost, celebrating while being surrounded by Philly fans. Most of them ignored him, but one fan near him said, "I'm gonna spit in your face," a second before followin...
Dan Snyder's Dickhead Behavior Is A Complex Thing
Skins owner Dan Snyder can be a big fucking prick, as we've documented thoroughly. Rick Maese's new article delving into Snyder's ownership does contain extraordinary anecdotes of Snyder being an asshole, but other stories—in an earnest attempt to provide balance—suggest that while Snyder does care ...
Rex Ryan Waits In Airport, Wears All-Orange Sweatsuit
Rex Ryan went to the Orange Bowl to support his son Seth, who plays for Clemson. Someone spotted him after his trip, waiting at JFK's baggage claim, decked out in a full orange sweatsuit. He earned that "Sexy Rexy" nickname, dammit....
Why The Chiefs Lost
Chiefs players might feel terrible this morning, but they pulled off a rather impressive feat last night. Despite losing Jamaal Charles, inarguably their best offensive player, to a possible concussion six plays into the game, Kansas City's offense still produced 44 points. It's a shame that the Col...

Colts Have New Idiot Kicker: Punter Tweets Half-Nude Pic Of Andrew Luck
Colts punter Pat McAfee tweeted this picture out of the Indianapolis locker room following their insane comeback win over the Chiefs and but for an extremely well-placed man on a cellphone, we're probably all looking at Andrew Luck's johnce. But, that man on the cell-phone was placed, so Mcafee is s...
Urban Meyer's Wicked Game
Urban Meyer was unable to lead the Buckeyes to an Orange Bowl win last night, falling 40-35 in an error-prone game that proved to be the first bowl loss for Meyer since the 2007 season. It's also a consecutive loss for the Urbz, something he'd only experienced three times previously in his career....
Ok. St.'s Final Possession Was Alternatingly Electric And Maddening
For three quarters, the Cotton Bowl was a defensive game. In the fourth quarter, both offensives exploded and began trading touchdowns. The fire inside Gus Johnson that had been contained all night, was slowly rising for what we surely all knew was going to happen. Missouri took a 34-31 lead with t...

Reports: Charlie Strong To Texas Will Happen Eventually
If we've gotten this far in the Strong-to-Texas story—he reportedly called a staff meeting at 9:00 a.m. this morning—it seems pretty certain that Charlie Strong is going to leave Louisville for Texas. But who knows, everyone always gets so careful with these things....
