Bruce Arians: Carson Palmer "Didn't Lose The Damn Game"
You can’t lose as badly as the Cardinals did without having enough blame to go around. But given his stat line, the visibility of his position, and the questions throughout his career arc that this season was supposed to shake, this will be remembered as Carson Palmer’s personal meltdown....
Von Miller And DeMarcus Ware Are Whirling Dervishes Of Death
The Broncos don’t put forth dominant or even good offensive performances anymore, but with a defense as terrifying as theirs, they don’t even need to be any better than competent on that side of the ball to win. In a weird way, the AFC Championship game was less tense for Broncos fans when Peyton Ma...

Report: Mike McCarthy Fed Up With Packers Management Refusing To Sign Free Agents
The Packers are notoriously skittish about signing free agents.

This is a great policy when it works (you’ll always have a cohesive, well-...
Broncos DE Derek Wolfe On The Patriots: "I Hate Everything About Them"
The Patriots and the Broncos are in the midst of a rather entertaining shit talking session in the lead-up to tomorrow’s AFC Championship game.

The Seahawks Warned The Cardinals About Carolina's Turf
The Seahawks could not have possibly had a worse start to their divisional-round loss to the Panthers last week, throwing two picks and allowing two defensive touchdowns and falling behind 21-0 in the first 15 minutes. And, at least to some extent, Pete Carroll blamed the grass....
This Danny McBride-Lookin' Motherfucker's Rap Song About The Panthers Is Actually Good
Yeah, we spend a lot of time here making fun of people who decide to create dopey music videos, and I realize that the one rule everyone on earth should follow is “Don’t make that rap video.” And yet, I am here for this dude’s rap song about the Panthers, which was posted way back in December but wa...
Radio Dummy On Female NFL Coach: "There's No Place For A Woman In Professional Sports, In Football, Coaching Men"
Cleveland sports radio host Kevin Kiley clearly has a problem with women. Last year, he shared some extremely dumb thoughts about the NFL’s first female referee, saying that the NFL was the “wrong place to put a woman.” He has very similar thoughts on the Bills’ decision to hire Kathryn Smith as a f...
Panthers Linebacker Shaq Thompson To Seahawks Fans: "Fuck Y'all, Fuck The Seahawks"

There Was An Incident With The Footballs And Gauges At Gillette Stadium This Weekend
Almost exactly a year to the day after Patriots equipment personnel “likely” intentionally deflated footballs to make them easier for Tom Brady to grip—at least, that’s according to the NFL’s Wells Report—there was another incident involving footballs and gauges before a Patriots playoff game at Gil...
Is This The Crash That Darius Fleming Is Talking About? (Updated)
This morning has seen plenty of coverage about the heroics of Patriots linebacker Darius Fleming, with the general narrative being that he rescued a woman from a burning car last week on his way home from Patriots practice.

Report: NFL Relocation Vote Was Swung By The Introduction Of Secret Ballots
The MMQB’s Peter King has a thorough tick-tock on how NFL owners eventually settled on voting to approve St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke’s proposal to move his team to Inglewood, Calif.
