Bills Edge Imploding Lions With Field Goal; Jim Schwartz Carried Away

Beats By Dre Banned From The Heads Of NFL Players
Bose is now "the official sound of the NFL," apparently replacing the confused whimpers of retired defensive tackles with CTE.

Your NFL Week 5 Viewing Maps
There's not a lot that stands out on the NFL's early Sunday afternoon schedule this week, save for maybe the duel between the 3-1 teams from Texas.

This Demented Letter About A Packers Party Is In Comic Sans, Of Course
Green Bay Press-Gazette editor Amy Bailey wrote her Oct. 1 column about an incident at a Packers viewing party she attended.

Thursday Games Not Shitty, Says NFL After Another Shitty Thursday Game
So, that was gross. Vikings-Packers finished with a score of a million to a little, or somewhere in that range. (I have to look it up. I didn't watch, because I don't hate myself.) And yet, it wasn't close to the biggest blowout nor the worst game on the Thursday night slate so far....
