This just in: ESPN reporter Chris Mortensen is smitten ... with his wife!...
The Denver Broncos Are Now Living In A World Of Piss
The Denver Broncos are one of three 0-4 NFL teams (assuming no tie, there should be one more after Bengals-Steelers tonight), and they’ve achieved that record thanks to generous helpings of incompetence and rotten luck. Also, they’ll now have to ride out the rest of this season without one of their ...
I Love Everything About This Deshaun Watson Exchange With A Reporter
There’s a clip making the rounds that shows part of Deshaun Watson’s press conference following the Texans’ loss to the Panthers on Sunday, and it’s fantastic:...
Sam Darnold On State Of His Spleen: "Going To Do What It's Going To Do"
Everyone in the NFL has one question on their minds: What’s up with Sam Darnold’s least cool organ? Thankfully, there’s an update....
Adam Thielen Tries Very Hard To Not Say Anything Mean About His Bad Quarterback
Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins’s play through the first four games of this season has resembled his center’s pants after a few snaps. His biggest problem is that he struggles to throw a deep, accurate ball. Both the defense and his own receivers know it....
Vontaze Burfict Suspended For The Rest Of The Season For Attempted Decapitation Of Jack Doyle
Raiders linebacker Vontaze Burfict will be suspended for the remainder of the 2019 season for his flagrant late hit on Colts tight end Jack Doyle in Sunday’s game. Burfict was tossed during the second quarter of the Raiders’ 31-24 win after he teed off on a defenseless Doyle....
Gardner Minshew Has A New Nickname
The Jacksonville Jaguars improved to 2–2 on the season with a comeback win in Denver on Sunday, riding a massive rushing performance from Leonard Fournette (225 yards) to a 26–24 victory. But these days, with Nick Foles out, no Jaguars win (or loss, even) is complete without a few plays from QB Gard...
Jaguars Junction: Week Four
Another National Football season has begun, I’m told, and with it, as one would expect, another slate of 16 regular-season games for the Jacksonville Jaguars, a team regarded with interest by many—primarily by those in Jacksonville and its immediate vicinity, but to a lesser degree by Floridians at ...
You Probably Shouldn't Be Able To Strangle A Guy On A Football Field
On Sunday, the Browns finally looked like the team everyone hoped they would be in 2019, beating the Ravens 40-25 while putting up 530 total yards of offense. Even more impressive is that they were able to do all that without much of a contribution from Odell Beckham Jr., who finished the game with ...
Shaquil Barrett Is The Difference Maker The Buccaneers Need Him To Be
For any team hoping to have a successful season, the one role that needs to be filled more than anything else is that of the player that just needs one moment to change a game entirely. For the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, that player is edge rusher Shaquil Barrett. Barrett has been nothing short of an abs...
Nick Chubb Pantsed The Ravens' Defense And Shoved Them Into A Puddle
A quiet reality of this season’s Ravens roster was that the defense had lost significant pieces that would be quite hard to replace, regardless of how they drafted or approached free agency with finding replacements in mind. The reason behind the low volume on that issue had a lot to do with Baltimo...
Matt Barkley's Interception Was A Perfectly Bills Way To Lose
The question surrounding the end of Patriots-Bills wasn’t so much a matter of how Buffalo was going to use its final drive to complete the shocking upset at home, but rather how spectacularly the team would fuck things up. Even after Tom Brady and the rest of the New England squad tried time after t...
The Lions And Chiefs Could Not Hold On To The Damn Football
Usually, when a much-anticipated game delivers, it’s because the quality of football was high enough to match the hype. Think Chiefs-Rams from last year. Kansas City was involved in another of those games on Sunday, as they headed to Detroit to take on the also-undefeated Lions. The drama was there ...
Vontaze Burfict Ejected For Particularly Heinous Late Hit On Jack Doyle
Much like the sun is guaranteed to set in the west each day, Vontaze Burfict will almost certainly be ejected for laying down a dirty hit sometime during an NFL season. This is exactly what happened early in the second quarter of Colts-Raiders on Sunday: Seconds after Jack Doyle made a catch on his ...
Oh God, Yes, Rutgers Wants To Hire Greg Schiano Again
Rutgers announced on Sunday that it had fired head coach Chris Ash, a day after the team got spanked 52-0 by Michigan to drop its record to 1-3. Also let go was offensive coordinator John McNulty, which is not a surprise given that the Scarlet Knights were shut out by both Michigan and Iowa, the lat...
Sean McDermott Had To Chase Bill Belichick's Son Off The Field During Bills Warm-Ups
The Patriots stay Patriotsing. Before Sunday’s game against Buffalo, Bills head coach Sean McDermott was seen chasing off two Patriots assistant coaches from the field, as the pair was watching the end of the Bills’ warm-ups. As captured by WROC-TV’s Thad Brown, McDermott is clearly gesticulating at...
Mike Leach Bemoans Washington State Players For Being Too Much Like Mike Leach
Mike Leach talks about Washington State football the same way he shares tales of tracking raccoons, opinions on Halloween candy and tweets featuring a doctored video of President Barack Obama meant to rile up and confuse an older conservative base. That is to say he appears to do it without much tho...
Texas Tech's Eli Howard On His Dangerous Hit: I'm Sorry To My Coach, My Athletic Director, Oh, And Also The Guy I Injured
With just over 10 minutes left in the third quarter of Oklahoma-Texas Tech, Red Raiders defensive lineman Eli Howard V delivered a dangerous low hit to Sooners running back Kennedy Brooks on a return. While the hit would have been considered to be dirty regardless of the context, it was made signifi...
Let's Check In With Rich Rodriguez, Who Is Throwing A Tantrum
Rich Rodriguez has very little business being in college football anymore, so naturally, he’s been given another chance at it this season as Ole Miss’s offensive coordinator. Down only 14-10 to Alabama, the Rebels ended up burning a timeout in the second quarter, and Rich Rod thoroughly lost it in t...
The Big 12 Exists To Make Jalen Hurts Look Incredible
It would appear that Lincoln Riley has once again worked his magic, turning another quarterback that’s transferred to Oklahama into a top candidate to win the Heisman. One glance at the raw numbers alone would not only confirm this, but also demonstrate that Riley’s work with Jalen Hurts might be hi...
