Taylor Lewan and Josh Norman got into a little spat following the Titans’ 25-16 win over the Redskins on Saturday.

Cameron Jordan Is Trolling Ben Roethlisberger Now
Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan, long a skilled troll, is gearing up to play the Steelers this week and probably sack Ben Roethlisberger a bunch.

Frank Solich Still Has Some Tricks Up His Sleeve
We are thick in the middle of the most hilariously named bowl games, and while Wednesday’s Frisco Bowl can’t compete on that front with this, the day before, or this, the day after, perhaps we can take some solace in the fact that until last year the Frisco Bowl was the Miami Beach Bowl, meaning all...

Donald Trump Has To Give Up Autographed Tim Tebow Gear He Bought With Charity Money. Sad!
It’s entirely possible—and would have been merciful—if you briefly blacked out under the strain of constant Trump scandals unearthed during his presidential campaign, and missed this one.
