The Texans Will Build The NFL's Two Largest Video Screens
Houston is mighty proud of its stadiums. When the Astrodome, the world's first domed multipurpose stadium became obsolete, they built Reliant Stadium, which just completely dwarfed it.

Coming into this season, the Jets had two choices.

We don't know really know what the hell is going on with this pigeon, which crashed Sunday's Chiefs-Raiders game by landing right in the middle of the action and absolutely refusing to give a shit about the 22 large men that were stomping around it. Maybe the pigeon was sick and disoriented, or wo...

The Packers rolled into Chicago and clinched the NFC North, in a game that nearly wasn't as close as the score makes it seem.
