Peyton Hillis Can't Get On The Field, Can't Sweet-Talk The Ladies, And Can't Take A Hint From His Teammates
More news about romantic newlywed and attitudinal Browns halfback Peyton Hillis. His teammates have had just about enough of Hillis's sulky, mopey, screwy behavior. Some have taken to jeering at him. Others have tried to rescue him, according to Michael Silver at Yahoo:...
Service Academy Football Rivalries Are Just As Good For Dick Jokes
According to the Cadet Third Class (that's Air Force for 'sophomore'!) who sent this along, a big wank-y banner has been hung in the Air Force Academy's dining hall ahead of tomorrow's big Army game. Is this the type of young men we want waging our wars in the future? Deadspin says: god yes....
The Stupid Moral Panic Over Mocking Tim Tebow; Or, What Would Jesus Do About Tebowing?

The Spinning Magic Of Left-Footed Punters
Why did the Saints, Chargers, and Ravens—three teams with above-average punters—all work out free agent punters last week?

ESPN's College GameDay Is Starting Early In Tuscaloosa—And So Are The Students

OccupyTebow Enters Day Four; ESPN.com Admits Defeat
The sit-in at ESPN.com continues unmolested, as the overworked mods have apparently ceded the comment section to mob rule.

Getting An Answer Out Of Bill Belichick Is Fucking Frustrating
Thrill to the master of stonewalling doing his damndest not to say anything interesting, or really anything at all about Julian Edelman's assault and battery arrest.
