Jalen Ramsey On Fight With A.J. Green: "I Told Him Almost Every Play That He Was Weak"
Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey is only in his second season but is already one of the strongest shit-talkers in the league. So it wasn’t all that surprising when his chattering triggered a full-on meltdown by A.J. Green. Today, Ramsey told reporters what he said to make Green so angry....
Report: Jerry Jones Is At War With The Other Owners Over Roger Goodell

The Stupid UConn-UCF Rivalry Trophy Is Nowhere To Be Found
College football loves to justify the existence of otherwise mundane conference games by adding in a musket or hog’s snout or some other performatively folksy bauble that tries to mask over the bloodless, production-line feel of the entire industry. None was more shameless than the Civil ConFLiCT t...
The Politico Goes On A Cletus Safari, Finds Two Angry NFL Fans Willing To Say What They Mean<em></em>
The world demonstrably does not need another Cletus safari into the heart of Trump’s America, but The Politico has one for you anyway.

The Giants’ front office is apparently as fed up with Eli Manning as anyone who has watched a Giants game this year has been, and is, according to ESPN, working to find a new quarterback in this year’s draft....
How The Saints' Defense Finally Got Its Act Together
Two games into the season, the Saints’ defense performed down to expectations: New Orleans yielded 777 passing yards and 32.5 points per game in a pair of double-digit losses. But the Saints have since won six straight, and that beleaguered D has surrendered more than 200 yards through the air just ...
Bad Quarterback Performance Of The Week: Brock's Still Bad
Welcome to Bad Quarterback Performance Of The Week, a recurring feature in which we celebrate the worst quarterback play the NFL has to offer....
Please Save Andrew Luck From The Colts
The Colts got a generational quarterback, put an offensive line made of cheesecloth in front of him, kept starting him after his throwing shoulder started to fall apart, shot him up with painkillers to make sure he could keep throwing and keep getting hit, and now wonder why his arm is so wrecked. A...
Josh Gordon Says He Got Drunk Or High Before Every Game
Josh Gordon has played 35 games in his NFL career, and he has been suspended for 45. That doesn’t include the 12 games he missed last season after checking himself into rehab for drugs and alcohol, his first of two inpatient stints. He hasn’t played in the NFL since December 2014. But if all goes we...
Browns: Don't Worry, Our Trade Fuck-Up Wasn't A Strategic Move, It Was Just A Fuck-Up
It requires a pretty deep trust in the Browns’ incompetence to believe that their attempt to trade with the Bengals for A.J. McCarron was really undone by their own inability to file simple paperwork in a timely manner. Trust in the Cleveland Browns’ incompetence is pretty well-placed trust, sure, b...
Report: Jaguars Security Prevented Jalen Ramsey From Fighting A.J. Green In The Locker Room<em></em>
Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey and Bengals receiver A.J. Green were ejected from Sunday’s game after Green choked and punched Ramsey. It was a moment of purposeful violence in a sport that is perpetually trying to control uncontrollable brutality....

The Texans, who will spend the rest of this season without Deshaun Watson after his ACL injury, lost 20-14 to the Colts Sunday. Houston QB Tom Savage was 19-for-44 in passing, with one TD and just 4.98 yards per attempt. He fully admitted that he “played like crap.”...

Washington's Failed Interception Return On A Two-Point Conversion Was Meaningless Fun
During Washington’s shocking win over the Seahawks in Seattle, Pete Carroll once again had a slant at the goal line blow up in his face. It was essentially a carbon copy of the play that lost Seattle the Super Bowl and turned Russell Wilson into a broken man:...
It's Time For The Giants To Move On From Eli Manning
The Giants are 1-7 and after the season they’re going to clean house. Being bad is bad enough, but being bad in a season in which they were trendy Super Bowl contenders is going to cost coach Ben McAdoo his job, and maybe GM Jerry Reese his, and possibly even spell the end of Eli Manning’s time in N...
How Ben McAdoo Rallied The Giants At Halftime: “Um”
The Giants got rolled by the Rams 51-17. At halftime, the score was just 27-10. Not close, either, but in the realm of possibility that the Giants could catch up. ...
Cardinals-49ers Scuffle Prompts Official’s Glorious Hat Toss
During an especially heated Sunday for the NFL, one fight late in the Cardinals-49ers game ended with one of my personal favorite NFL sights: an official, out of flags, throwing his hat in the air in order to call an additional penalty....
Kirk Cousins And Josh Doctson Slide Their Way To A Win In Seattle
Kirk Cousins and Washington thwarted what would have been a second straight late game-winning drive by Russell Wilson to grab a win in Seattle this afternoon.
