Joe Philbin Thinks Google Glass Comes Equipped With Lasers
We learn two things from the video below (autoplay, sorry), neither having anything to do with the Dolphins' lackluster running game. First, Google Glass is still basically Spy Tech for adults but second, and more importantly, these NFL press conferences are actually kind of sad....
Navy Almost Lost Last Night Because They Scored Too Many Touchdowns
Navy's Keenan Reynolds set an NCAA record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback last night by finding the end zone seven times. Midshipmen coach Ken Niumatalolo would have preferred Reynolds stopped at three, because his fourth allowed a San Jose State comeback that forced Navy to win in triple o...
Charts: Who Are The Best Deep Passers In The NFL?
Deep passes are the most exciting play in televised football—the viewing audience can't see the situation downfield until the ball (and the camera) make it down there, so the play always feels, in that tiny moment before we catch up, like a sure touchdown or interception. It's well known that not ev...

Where Were You When The Buttfumble Happened?
For Baby Boomers, today marks the 50th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. But for those of us who don't belong to the generation that ruined America, Nov. 22 holds an even dearer place in our memories. Today is Buttfumble Day....
Chip Kelly During A Game Is As Impatient As You Think

Jimmy Graham's Dunk Ruins The Goalpost
After a 44-yard touchdown, Jimmy Graham's dunk celebration resulted in a tilted goalpost. Hulk out a little less, Jimmy. But keep being awesome....
Rob Gronkowski Thinks Planes And Cars Are Time Machines
Football steakhead Rob Gronkowski is back! Well, he's been playing for a few games now, but we know he's really back because of the astounding answer he gave after being asked for his ideal superpower. Basically, the Patriots' tight end doesn't understand how time works....
How Jimmy Graham Became The Most Productive Tight End In Football
Calling Jimmy Graham a tight end seems dishonest. Drew Brees's favorite target is a freak who's blowing the other competition at his position out of the water in 2013. Because "Jimmy Graham is good" isn't a very compelling statement, let's go a little further. Since Graham is essentially a wide rece...

The BCS Has One Last Screwjob Left In It: 125 FBS Teams, Ranked

Why Baylor Is Porn For Football Nerds
In football, which operates on a tight cycle of coaching innovation and theft, it's rare to see enormous outliers. The college game is littered with coaches who found one legitimate schematic advantage, rode it for a year or two, watched it become the norm, and fell back to the pack once they could ...

A Three-Man Front Is A Late-Game Defensive Formation For Suckers
The weekend, as I watched the absurd denouement of the Northwestern-Michigan game, something struck me as familiar — beyond the now-routine bumblefuckery that inspires the Wildcats to turn fourth-quarter leads into triple-overtime losses. No, it wasn't simply that Michigan drove in the dregs of game...
Browns Prank T.J. Ward With Fake Rat In His Locker
And Phil Taylor caught the whole thing on camera and put the video on Instagram. Afterward, with his teammates laughing all around him, Ward did all there was left to do: He sheepishly rubbed his balls a lot....
