Frank Gore Blew Up Lance Briggs: Bears-49ers, In One GIF
San Francisco 32, Chicago 7: In his first career start, Colin Kaepernick out-dueled Jason Campbell and it was not even close.

Philadelphia Gets Down To Brass Tacks, Just Asks Andy Reid If He's Going To Resign
Things are so bad in Philadelphia that reporters are just asking Andy Reid if he's going to quit to save himself the indignity of being fired.

Your Monday Night Football Open Thread
Chicago at San Francisco: So, this might have been a decent game but neither starting quarterback will be playing due to concussions. Instead it's Jason Campbell and Colin Kaepernick. Yikes. Kaepernick did surprise the Jets earlier this year with some solid Wildcat-esque play, but presumably the Be...

Maryland And Rutgers Are Joining The Big Ten Because They Have To
As expected, the Big Ten will now be 14. Maryland and Rutgers have let it be known they plan to abandon the ACC and the Big East, respectively, beginning in 2014.

Report: The NFL Made Disability Payments For Brain Trauma While Publicly Denying That Football Causes Brain Trauma

In the six years before that, the league had taken the opposite stance, publishing a series of scientific papers that denied any link between football and...
LeSean McCoy Gets Concussed, And It's All Andy Reid's Fault
If Andy Reid's out, he's taking as many players as he can with him. That's the only possible explanation for leaving his starters in until the very end of a blowout loss at Washington, a strategy that paid off with LeSean McCoy receiving a concussion at a time when he should have been on the bench, ...

Ed Hochuli Reviewed An Un-Reviewable Play And Then Said He Did Not Review It Because It Was Un-Reviewable

Bart Scott Attempts to Lead Media Boycott After Jets Actually Win A Game
Yes, the Jets actually won this afternoon—and even scored some touchdowns doing so. But, these being the New York Jets, they could not avoid finding new and ever-dumber ways of making news unrelated to on field matters....

Will We Ever See A Return To The Glory Days Of Colts-Patriots?: Your NFL Late Games Viewing Guide

Arizona Quarterback Returns From Concussion, Promptly Pukes Again
Remember Matt Scott? He's the Arizona quarterback who unleashed a flood of vomit after a helmet-to-helmet collision against USC a few weeks ago.
