Here's Joe Flacco Enjoying Some Ice Cream In Denver
A reader passed along this photo of Joe Flacco enjoying an ice cream cone at Little Man Ice Cream in Denver. No word on what flavor he had, but because this is Joe Flacco, it was probably plain vanilla with one of those flavorless cones....

Anthony Dixon Turned Down $24,000 To Give Up His Number
49ers running back Anthony Dixon (born 9/24) wore No. 24 in high school. He wore it in college. It's his number. But when he was taken in the sixth round by San Francisco in 2010, he was issued 33. No. 24 belonged to veteran back Michael Robinson, and no one expected Dixon to be around long enough f...
Reminder: The Jets Aren't The Only Team With A Dismal QB Situation
This week, the Oakland Raiders announced that Terrelle Pryor will be the team's starting quarterback in Week 1.

Guy Who Said "You Can't Arrest Me, I'm A Colts Player" No Longer A Colts Player
How was your Labor Day? It was better than Colts rookie John Boyett's....
Why The NFL And Players Were Both Desperate To Settle Concussion Suits
Now that emotions have cooled, it's worth looking back at the concussion litigation that led to a $765 million settlement from the NFL. Something resembling a near-certainty emerges: Had it gone to trial, this was a case the NFL was going to win, for two distinct and dispassionate reasons....
Jets Sign Handsome, Bad QB To Temporarily Replace Handsome, Bad QB

Chargers Announcer Has Something To Say About "Richard Cunt"
Billy Ray Smith, the color commentator for Chargers preseason broadcasts on KFMB, made a reference last night to Richard Kent, a punter who was cut by San Diego on Sunday. Smith initially used the wrong vowel when pronouncing Kent's last name. His quick correction rolled right off his tongue....
I Kind Of Like Tim Tebow Now
The hatred of Tim Tebow and the hatred of the attention lavished on Tim Tebow are wrongly, if understandably, mixed. In a Baylessless vacuum, in a place where the word "intangibles" isn't used by pundits for the purposes of invidious distinction, Tebow would probably be an OK dude, and a lot of fun...
Redskins LB Tackles Two Bucs At The Same Time
The Maginot Line provided more protection than tackle Mike Remmers. At least the Germans had to waste time going around it. Remmers merely found himself in in the way of Rob Jackson, and suffered the consequences....
Let's Watch The Raiders' Taiwan Jones Jump Over A Car For $200
A bunch of Oakland Raiders went out for Darren McFadden's 26th birthday the other night. It was a momentous occasion. Taiwan Jones, a running back who was switched to cornerback during the offseason, jumped over a BMW for $200. Tyvon Branch posted it to Instagram. A good time was had by all....
The MMQB Will No Longer Use The Name "Redskins"
According to staff writer Robert Klemko, The MMQB plans to no longer use the word "Redskins." If that's the case, Peter King's football-only SI microsite instantly becomes the most popular and influential outlet to eschew the controversial team nickname....
A Timeline Of Concussion Science And NFL Denial
The now-settled lawsuits brought by thousands of former players hinged on the notion that the NFL ignored decades of research on the degenerative long-term effects of brain trauma, and didn't take enough steps to protect its employees. Here's a helpful (ahem, Pete Prisco), but necessarily incomplete...
The Dolphins Tweeted Out A Picture Of A Big Naked Dolphin Ass
We've seen bigger and naked-er asses before, but this one is noteworthy simply because it was shared by the team's official Twitter account. Who says social media editors are useless? ...
