Whatever You Do, Don't Watch Thursday Night Football Tomorrow
This-the first year in which the NFL (and its subsidiary network, the NFL Network) has "graciously" "offered" us a full year of Thursday Night Football-has been a strange year for Thursday Night Football. Namely: the games were good matchups. Let's recall them quickly:...

At Least Hurricane Sandy Gave Us The Eli Manningest Of Eli Manning Photos [UPDATE]
Not only did Eli Manning, who lives in Hoboken, N.J., survive Hurricane Sandy, he remains as adorkable as ever. The above picture of Manning surveying the flood damage to what we assume is his apartment building was tweeted out last night by Kate Mara. Manning appears to be more concerned about whet...
Bryant McKinnie Sued For $375,000 In Unpaid Strip Club Bills
The Ravens tackle is being sued by, of all people, the father of rapper Trick Daddy. (He's also a bigtime South Florida strip club exec.) The suit claims McKinnie borrowed $375,000 in strip club expenses from Feb. 2009 to Sept. 2010, and has yet to pay back a dime....

Why Did Jamaal Charles Get Only Five Carries? Romeo Crennel Has No Idea.
Brady Quinn beat out Matt Cassel in the saddest quarterback competition ever—and then left the game with a concussion after going 2-for-4 for a single yard. This was only the second-most Chiefs thing to happen this week. That would be the star running back getting just five carries all day, and the ...
The Carolina Panthers Lost By Calling The Exact Same Defensive Coverage Over And Over
Last week, the Giants were able to beat the Redskins by recognizing the coverage. Eli Manning knew he could hit Victor Cruz over the top because Washington, at the end of the game, was running the same schemes it had shown in the two-minute drill at the end of the first half. But even that was cutti...
The Eagles Are Considering A Quarterback Change, Says Michael Vick
Usually, the clamoring for a change under center comes from fans and media, people who either don't know what they're talking about or haven't taken into account all the reasons for a team's struggles. A porous offensive line, or a defense that puts the quarterback into a position where he has to ta...
Randy McMichael Is The NFL's Most Impatient Player
Early in the fourth quarter of San Diego's eventual loss to the Browns, the Chargers offense (ineffectual for most of the day) managed to scrape together the ten yards necessary for a first down and keep a possible game-winning drive alive. The tension of the moment was too much for tight end Randy...
Maryland Will Start A Converted Linebacker At Quarterback Because Every Other Quarterback Is Out For The Year
Things are not going well for the signal callers at Maryland. In June, presumptive starter C.J. Brown went down with a torn ACL. Last week against N.C. State, backup Perry Hills also tore his ACL. Devin Burns then entered the game for the injured Hills and promptly suffered a Lisfranc injury. He is ...
The Dallas Cowboys Sent Out A Mailer To Season-Ticket Holders Instructing Them On How To Cheer
Jerry Jones built the $1,300,000,000 Cowboys Stadium in 2009 expecting it to house champions, boost his team, and become the eighth wonder of the world. It is kind of the last one—largest domed stadium in the world, with the fourth largest HD video screen in the world hanging from the ceiling—but th...
