Harrowing McKenzie Milton Injury Update Includes The Phrase "Blood Flow Has Been Restored"
Friday afternoon UCF star quarterback McKenzie Milton went directly from the 25-yard line of Raymond James Stadium, where he was writhing in agony with his leg bent in a very wrong direction, to Tampa General Hospital, where he underwent surgery. He’s still there today, and his family says there are...
Washington Claims Former 49ers Linebacker Reuben Foster After Domestic Violence Arrest
Two days after the San Francisco 49ers released linebacker Reuben Foster, a move prompted by Foster’s arrest over the weekend on misdemeanor domestic violence charges, Foster has a new team. Washington announced the signing of Foster today, and they were the only team to place a waiver claim on him,...

RIP, Sean Taylor. Now Buy This Crappy Doll From Dan Snyder! [Update]
Sean Taylor died 11 years ago today after being shot in his Florida home. For those looking to honor his memory on this awful anniversary: Dan Snyder is selling a crappy Sean Taylor doll....
Baker Mayfield Is Still Taking Shots At Hue Jackson
You would think having the worst head coaching record with a team in the entire history of the NFL would have been enough punishment—or enough of an indictment. And if not, maybe getting unceremoniously fired midseason might have been sufficient. But no, not only does Hue Jackson have to live with t...
Blake Bortles's Butt Bumped To Bench
The Jaguars were doing okay against the Bills Sunday, but then the guy who had scored two TDs for them was ejected for fighting, they pissed away a first-and-goal situation, and Buffalo won, 24-21. This extended the team’s losing streak to seven. The usually loquacious Jalen Ramsey couldn’t even say...
Mike McCarthy Shouldn't Be Coaching The Packers Anymore
A couple of times in his career, when his Packers looked to be struggling, Aaron Rodgers has remained cool and told people to chill out with some memorable quote that becomes kind of a motto for the rest of the team’s season. There was “R-E-L-A-X” after a 1-2 start in 2014, which turned into an MVP ...

Report: Jimbo Fisher's Nephew Was The Texas A&M Staffer Who Foolishly Tried To Fight Kevin Faulk [Update]
No. 22 Texas A&M’s 74-72, seven-overtime victory over No. 7 LSU was a spectacle, but the dessert to that meal was the postgame fight between an Aggies staffer and Kevin Faulk, LSU’s director of player development and a former NFL running back. A few more details have emerged since Saturday, most not...
Derek Carr Has Joined His Brother David In Stat Hell
Ravens linebacker Matthew Judon sacked Raiders QB Derek Carr on three consecutive offensive plays during Baltimore’s 34-17 win Sunday. That’s a rare accomplishment. Since 1982, only one other player has sacked the quarterback three straight times in one game: Colts defensive end Brad Scioli, who did...
The Jaguars Are So Bad They've Made Jalen Ramsey Boring
Bills-Jaguars was the Trash Bowl, and not just because both teams are trash. This one had been circled on the calendars ever since Jags corner Jalen Ramsey called Josh Allen “trash” in a magazine interview, and then went deep on exactly why the Bills’ rookie QB was, allegedly, trash....
Odell Beckham Sounds Fed Up
The Giants were rolling, having put up 346 yards of offense in the first half against the Eagles—the most yards in a half by any Giants team in 33 years. And then, well ... “It was a tale of two halves,” Connor Barwin said, diplomatically. To put it more honestly, the Giants offense pooped the bed....
The Colts and Dolphins Turned It Over On Three Straight Plays
The Dolphins and Colts were cruising along, having a normal game, when they suddenly started to just give the ball to the other team....
Steelers' Fake Field Goal Ends The Half With A Fat Guy Touchdown
The Steelers offense marched 73 yards down the field before the Broncos defense made three important stops to force Pittsburgh into a 4th-and-goal from the two-yard line. Denver, expecting the chip-shot field goal to end the half, rushed nearly everyone on their side of the ball. That gave Chris Bos...
The Browns Sure Do Not Appear To Miss Hue Jackson Very Much
The Browns beat the shit out of the Bengals Sunday afternoon. It was Cleveland’s first road win since Week 5 of the 2015 season, and the first time a Browns quarterback won consecutive starts since 2014. And how lovely that former Browns head coach Hue Jackson could be in attendance to watch this pr...
Matthew Judon Makes Derek Carr's Life Hell With Three Consecutive Sacks
Third-year linebacker Matthew Judon is a rising star who is on his way to making a name for himself as the next great member of the Baltimore Ravens’ defense. Today’s performance against the Raiders should certainly help that goal. While Baltimore’s defense wasn’t at its best, it still managed to ge...

Henry Anderson's Dick And Balls Rudely Squished By Cordarrelle Patterson [Update]
Cordarrelle Patterson was brought down by Henry Anderson after a one-yard gain on a first-and-five run early in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s Patriots-Jets tilt. Patterson, who I think it will henceforth be fair to assume is a total sociopath, expressed his displeasure with that turn of events by c...
Seahawks Recreate Iverson NBA Finals Stepover For Touchdown Celebration
It took a while for Tyler Lockett to get his eighth touchdown of the year. The refs initially ruled the Seahawks WR just short of the goal line, but Pete Carroll challenged the call and it was overturned to a touchdown. ...
Bad Touchdown Call Ignites Brawl Between Jaguars And Bills That Spilled Into Locker Room Tunnel
When a team has nothing to play for at this point in the NFL season, it’s surely difficult to find an outlet to direct one’s emotions toward during games. While some players might choose to channel that energy into late-season stat-padding, the Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills decided to engag...
Spectacular Touchdown Grab Rescued From Nonexistence By NFL's Updated Catch Rule
An extremely cool touchdown catch survived the crucible of rulebook scrutinization and was hauled back from the brink of nonexistence in this afternoon’s surprising Browns beatdown of the Bengals. Baker Mayfield, who is torching the Bengals defense, lobbed a fade to Nick Chubb, operating against sin...
Browns Blockers Help David Njoku Crowd-Surf Into The End Zone
Baker Mayfield has been exposing the Bengals’ defense with every drop back that’s been called for him today. In just one half he’s thrown for almost 250 yards and three touchdowns. The stats are impressive enough but they don’t tell the whole story of just how great his supporting cast has been toda...
