Rolando McClain Somehow Managed To Get Himself Kicked Off The Woeful Oakland Raiders [UPDATE]
Raiders linebacker Rolando McClain is the type of player who probably gets called "troubled" a lot. (Yes, he is.) That perception stems from the incident that also produced the glorious perp walk you see above. McClain was accused, and later convicted, of putting a gun to a man's head, pointing in a...

The Jacksonville Jaguars Now Have Their Own Version Of The Terrible Towel, And It Is Called The Jag Rag

The NFL Has Been Making Unruly Fans Pay To Take Anger Management Courses From A Shady Therapist
Yesterday's New York Times featured a story about the NFL's ongoing struggle to keep fans from acting like maniacs and beating the shit out of each other at games.

Jerramy Stevens Was Arrested For The Second Time In 15 Days
Fifteen days ago, Jerramy Stevens got arrested, and we unconventionally discovered that he and Hope Solo had plans to get married and redefine the term "power couple."

Jason Babin Was Released By The Eagles
Jason Babin may have lost his mind yesterday, but he definitely lost his job today. The Eagles announced his release earlier today. In 27 games for the Eagles, Babin had 23.5 sacks. The main problem was that 18 of those sacks came last season....
Here's An Angry Mob Of Jets Fans Mercilessly Heckling The Team

Jay Cutler: The Antihero Who Looks A Lot Like A Hero
On Sunday, during ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown, Tom Jackson went on a mini tirade about Bears quarterback Jay Cutler that was as needless as it was brainless.

The Eagles Can't Even Fire Some No-Name Marketing Executive Without Screwing Something Up
The Philadelphia Eagles this afternoon fired someone named Tim McDermott. From a football standpoint, it's not a big deal. McDermott was the team's senior vice president and chief marketing officer, so it's not like he was responsible for, say, drafting Jaiquwan Jarrett. If anything, shitcanning McD...
Jason Babin May Have Lost His Mind
Tonight's game between the Panthers and Eagles looked really good when the schedules first came out, but in reality, it will be a hot mess between two underachieving teams with no current playoff hopes led by coaches trying to save their jobs.

Here's Every Instance Of Phil Simms Saying The Word "Football" In A Single Broadcast
"This guy." "The National Football League." Sportscasters have their own pet phrases, most of which add nothing to the conversation. They're meaningless syllables to fill up airtime, nervous tics that we're used to ignoring, but once you notice them you can't hear anything else. Take Phil Simms, w...

For Once, The Browns Really Were #1 Against The Steelers
Long-suffering Browns fans have faced a decade of hardship when it comes to games against the hated Pittsburgh Steelers.
