Tom Brady Rambles Incomprehensibly About Society When Asked About Antonio Brown
The New England Patriots cut wide receiver Antonio Brown on Friday, but nobody on the team will say why.

At Least Freddie Kitchens Knows He Blew It
We’re three games into Freddie Kitchens’s first full season as head coach in Cleveland, and so far things have been rather chaotic. The Browns are 1-2 and one of the more heavily penalized teams in the league, and Kitchens often looks and coaches like a guy who was handed the headset after winning a...
Bruce Arians Has Some Strange Ideas About How To Make A Kick Easier
Giants at Bucs was a coming-out party for one Mr. Daniel Dimes, but it wouldn’t have been a win for New York if not for Buccaneers rookie kicker Matt Gay missing a 34-yard field goal attempt just barely to the right as time expired. And it wouldn’t have been 34 yards if the Bucs hadn’t intentionally...
Despite Their Best Efforts, The 49ers Were Incapable Of Beating Themselves
In any other week for non-Jets teams, giving up five turnovers to an opponent tends to be a pretty solid blow towards that side’s chances of winning. But the 49ers became an exception to that trend against the Steelers on Sunday with a 24-20 win at home. Just like how that scoreline doesn’t tell the...
Daniel Jones, King Of New York, Leads Giants To First Win Of Season
The Giants were not only losing 28-10 to the Buccaneers at the half on Sunday afternoon, but they were also missing their best offensive player in Saquon Barkley.

Emmanuel Sanders Says The Broncos Are "Living In A World Of Suck"

Saquon Barkley Knocked Out Of Game With Ankle Injury (Update)
The Giants didn’t have a hot start against the Bucs in Daniel Jones’s debut, going down 28-10 at halftime thanks in part to three touchdown catches from Tampa Bay wideout Mike Evans. But even worse than an early deficit is the potential long-term consequences of this low hit on standout young runnin...
Giants Player Tackles Teammate Running For Touchdown
A preface to this highlight: Jameis Winston’s fumble here was ruled an incompletion on replay, so it didn’t matter that Jabrill Peppers pushed down Alec Ogletree when he was running down the field with only green grass in front of him? But why did Jabrill Peppers tackle Alec Ogletree??...
Even In Defeat, Lamar Jackson Is Pretty Damn Special
For better and for worse, Lamar Jackson did not look like a regular NFL quarterback against the Chiefs on Sunday. First, the worse: Kansas City was able to regularly get pressure on the second-year player, forcing shaky throws on a consistent basis and often leading to overthrown deep balls, even wh...
Rookie Bengals Head Coach Zac Taylor Lost His Shit Because He Didn't Know The Rules
Despite an encouraging second-half comeback on Sunday afternoon against the undefeated Bills, the Bengals couldn’t pull out their first win of the 2019 season, losing on the road 21-17 after Andy Dalton threw an interception with 12 seconds to go....
The Ravens Deployed A Neat Drop Kick To Save A Timeout
It’s generally a lot more fun to humiliate coaches for clock mistakes than praise them for managing it well, but Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh went deep into his bag of tricks on a kickoff late in the game against the Chiefs so he could save a timeout, and it was pretty dang nifty!...
Keanu Neal Penalized For Unsportsmanlike Conduct After Throwing Helmet In Injury-Related Frustration
Falcons safety Keanu Neal suffered a pretty bad injury to his leg just before halftime against the Colts on Saturday. That much became clear when he threw his helmet in frustration and was crying by the time the training staff got to him. While the pain certainly played a part in his emotional state...
Lions' No. 35 Unmasks Eagles' No. 26, Reveals Him To Be Miles Sanders
None of us can ever know the true identities of those who play in the NFL. Shrouded in armor—with helmets covering most of their faces, and jerseys that reveal merely half of their true names—American football players work in the shadows, anonymous to all but their closest friends and family members...
Allen Hurns Out With Concussion After Colliding Hard With Jeff Heath
Early in the first quarter of Cowboys-Dolphins, Miami quarterback Josh Rosen tried to find receiver Allen Hurns and threw a pass towards the middle of the field.

Antonio Brown Might Have Announced His Retirement From The NFL In An Online Meltdown
On Saturday night, Antonio Brown’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that a few teams had shown interest in signing the wide receiver—provided that Rosenhaus gave those teams updates “regarding [Brown’s] legal situation and the NFL investigation” following the player’s messy breakup w...
UCLA Scored 50 Points In 20 Minutes For A Psychedelic Comeback Against Washington State
Only the true East Coast degenerates—not even myself, if we’re coming clean—would have had the guts and belief to stick with UCLA’s game at Washington State after 1 a.m. Sunday morning, when the No. 19 ranked Cougars went up 49-17 on the winless Bruins midway through the third quarter. But those who...
