Things Are Already Tense Between Ndamukong Suh And The Dolphins
It usually takes a few bad losses to drive an NFL team to the point of undermining itself via anonymous pot shots in the press.

Did Chip Kelly Outsmart Himself?
The Eagles are 0-2, and although it’s certainly unfair to write off a team after two games, you wouldn’t blame Eagles fans for looking at Chip Kelly with eyebrows raised as high as they’ll go.
