Drew Brees Appears In Video For Gay Conversion Therapy Sickos, Doesn't Understand What The Big Deal Is
Last week, New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees appeared in a brief video promoting “Bring Your Bible To School Day,” which, whatever.

Like most Oilers—or “Earlers,” as they were known as their star galloped his way to Rookie of the Year and two MVP trophies his first couple of years in the league—Earl Campbell loved playing for the cowboy-hatted, easy-going Bum Phillips, who was always easy with a wisecrack. Bum once said of the t...

Tennessee WR Who Joked About Upset Loss To Georgia State Suddenly No Longer On Team
The Tennessee Volunteers dropped their first college football game of the season, 38-30, to Georgia State, a Sun Belt team that went 2-10 last season.

Ezekiel Elliott Knows What He's Worth To The Cowboys
Early in the Ezekiel Elliott contract negotiations, Stephen Jones swore that whatever the team agreed to with its 24-year-old star running back, it wouldn’t be a record. “We’re damn sure not going to be a market-setter,” Jones said, before explaining, a little cryptically and a little ironically, th...
Dan Snyder Actually Good At Owning An NFL Team, Says Direct Competitor, Presumably While Snickering
The upcoming NFL season will be the 20th since Dan Snyder purchased the Washington Redskins from the estate of Jack Kent Cooke in May of 1999.

The Dolphins Are Tanking Whether Or Not Brian Flores Wants To
It’s never a good sign when, a few days out from the start of the NFL season, reporters are asking a head coach questions like, “So, are you guys even going to try to win a game this year?” That’s the line of questioning Dolphins first-year head coach Brian Flores faced after his team traded Kenny S...

Bo Nix, Auburn Just Took Whatever Oregon Gave Them
With just over two minutes left in the game, Oregon was tasked with stopping an Auburn offense that had slowly but surely built momentum for itself throughout the second half from getting into field goal range.
