A Brief Dispatch From Las Vegas On The Occasion Of The Jets Beating The Cowboys On 9/11
LAS VEGAS—The scene: Caesars Palace. A quiet corner of a quiet bar, DAL-NYJ on the TV. A handful of exceedingly pleasant Cowboys fans sitting in a half-circle. A lone Jets fan sitting in front—a desiccated New Yorker given to periodic bursts of yelping and fist-pumping. You know the type. All coiled...
UCF Student Fights With Police Officers And Loses, UCF Fans Respond With Thundersticks

Brian Billick Said The Rams "Had Some Sex With The No-Huddle Offense"
It was just a slip of the tongue, but Billick knew what he said: the awkward pause, then the repetition of the statement, emphasizing the success St. Louis had been having with the no-huddle offense. A natural mistake. Sex is very much like the no-huddle offense. Furious, improvisational, and usua...
Chris Myers Needed A Bourbon On The Rocks To Get Through Lions/Buccaneers
Returning from a commercial break, FOX announcer Chris Myers believed his mic was off when he thanks an unknown individual and then specified "bourbon on the rocks." In-game drink order? Post-game plans? What he drank six of last night and that's why he threw up on broadcast partner Tim Ryan's sho...
Behold This Bumbling Romo-Sanchez Lowlight Reel
It was never clear last night just which quarterback would throw away the game for his team: Tony Romo or Mark Sanchez. In the end it was Romo, who fumbled twice and threw the ball away to Darrelle Revis (Sanchez also threw a pick and fumbled the ball away) to help the Jets set up a game-winning f...

9/11 Stadium Brawl At Jets-Cowboys Game Includes One Fan Zapping People With A Taser
I guess we could assume that the security at MetLife Stadium was being extra vigilant during tonight's stressful, gloomy anniversary game and were so preoccupied with making sure no fan tried to sneak in an umbrella or a laser pointer that they simply forgot to pat-down everyone for the little thi...
Your Sunday Night Football Open Thread
Dallas at New York: Thanks to the wonders of the internet and my on again-off again relationship with Hermione Granger, I will be at this game. Not gonna lie, the idea of going to a stadium with 80,000 people for a prime time game involving a New York team and "America's Team" is a little..¿Cómo se ...
Your Week 1 NFL Roundup
Blowout was the name of the game today. Lots of lopsided and weird games that surely no one will knee-jerkingly attribute to the lockout. Here's a quick and tidy roundup, done just for you. Look for another open thread for the night game. Photo thanks to Mocksession....
Looks Like Somebody Pissed Themselves At Today's Chargers Game
The good thing about what happened to this poor chap standing next to a lass wearing a short light blue/white checkered skirt sitting in the front row when the San Diego Chargers hosted the Minnesota Vikings today is that he didn't shit himself. That's an assumption. He probably has by now. (H/T Cu...
Watch Cam Newton's First All Growed Up Touchdown Passes
Cam Newton is doing more than just fitting in with the big boys: He threw two touchdown passes to Steve Smith (for 77 and 26 yards) and threw for 198 yards in the first half against the Cardinals in Glendale. He now has 288 passing yards and is on pace to break Peyton Manning's record for most yar...
