Ref Kicks Dildo At Bills Game
Bills fans tossing sex toys onto the field is a well-worn bit at this point, as evidenced by the fact that three separate dildos made their way onto the playing surface during last night’s game against the Patriots. It’s probably time for the dildo-tossers to get a new gag, but this one plays as lon...
Ty Montgomery Says He Wasn't Sure If He Was In The End Zone
Packers running back/return man Ty Montgomery cost Green Bay the chance at a win on Sunday, returning a kickoff out of the end zone and coughing up a fumble rather than taking the touchback and handing the ball to Aaron Rodgers for a textbook two-minute drill. Montgomery understandably did not want ...

But a new report from the Boston Globe says the final police ...
Patriots Knocked Down A Solid Notch Or Two By Devastating Fan Sign

The Bills Ran A Play From <i>Tecmo Super Bowl</i>

Interception Machine Jameis Winston Gets Benched For Ryan Fitzpatrick<em></em>
It’s time to erase the whiteboard reading “Days Since Last Jameis Winston Turnover Party” and draw a big fat 0.

The Browns Have Finally Fired Hue Jackson [Update]
According to Adam Schefter, the Cleveland Browns have put head coach Hue Jackson in the trash can. This should come as no surprise, both because the Browns have reportedly been considering firing Jackson for a while now, and also because Jackson is a comically incompetent boob who racked up a record...
Eric Reid Explains Why He Called Malcolm Jenkins A "Neo-Colonialist"
Panthers safety Eric Reid got into it with Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins before their Week 6 game, and then called Jenkins a “sellout” and “neo-colonialist” afterward. Reid’s issue with Jenkins stems from how Jenkins guided the Players Coalition, which came close to cutting a crappy deal with the N...
Larry Fitzgerald Spiked The Ball To Get Back At His Garbage Son
Larry Fitzgerald, now in his 15th season, is suffering through yet another pointless year with the Cardinals, leading one of the worst teams in football with 34 receptions so far. And after a late two-point conversion catch that solidified his team’s 18-15 win over the 49ers on Sunday, some of that ...
Ty Montgomery Went Rogue
It would’ve been a situation the likes of which we’ve seen many times, and which Aaron Rodgers lives for: Down two points with the ball and two minutes left to work. All Ty Montgomery had to do, when he received the kickoff, was to take a knee. He, uh, did not:...

The Steelers Went Full-Rutgers And Forgot To Field This Safety Punt

Report: The Browns' Coaching Mess Might Require A Clean-Up
Failure that breeds dysfunction, which breeds potential coaching staff or front office changes. It might as well be the Cleveland Browns’ motto. That remains true even in a season in which the Browns are finally showing some signs of life. But Cleveland has lost three of its last four games, and the...
Florida State Got Whomped
Florida State lost to Clemson, 59-10, on Saturday, and that 49-point deficit tied for the worst margin in FSU history. It goes without saying that it was an ass-kicking. But how bad was it? This bad....

Four Jacksonville Jaguars players were detained, and three were arrested, after they ran up a tab of £50,000 ($64,000 U.S.) at a London club that “features burlesque and circus performers” early Saturday morning, according to the UK’s Sun newspaper.

Iowa's Punter Connects With A Walk-On Defensive End For This Fat Man Touchdown
Already up 5-0 on Penn State because of a field goal and a safety, the Iowa Hawkeyes clearly wanted to add a new level of weirdness to this game.

The 1985 Chicago Bears waited until they were up 34 points on the New England Patriots in the second half of Super Bowl XX before calling William “The Refrigerator” Perry’s number to score a one-yard touchdown. This season’s Clemson Tigers made the call a little sooner than that in a game with lower...
