Getting An Answer Out Of Bill Belichick Is Fucking Frustrating
Thrill to the master of stonewalling doing his damndest not to say anything interesting, or really anything at all about Julian Edelman's assault and battery arrest. The Boston papers sent their general reporters and not their sports writers to Belichick's presser so they could ask the tough quest...

Peyton Hillis Is Sorry He Crushed The Spirits Of 50 Children On Halloween, But It Wasn't All His Fault
Peyton Hillis, the Browns injured running back and Madden cover boy, was supposed to attend a Halloween party for some 50 children from the Cleveland Boys and Girls Club on Monday. But he didn't.

Oh, No. No, No, No. (Man Gets A Texans Super Bowl Champions Tattoo)
Man, Chris Brown, you are a brave, stupid man. Not only did you get a Texans logo tattooed on your arm, framed by the words "Super Bowl" XVLI Champion. But you shaded the area behind the roman numerals so you won't be able to fix it in the future. Why would you do this, Chris?...

How Contempt For Tim Tebow Caused An ESPN.com Commenter Revolution
The ESPN.com comment section is a den of iniquity and misspelling, and for the world's largest sports site, it's curiously inessential. The open registration means the discourse tends toward lowest common denominator, and it's too big to engender much sense of community. But once in a long while the...
Rex Ryan Honors Joe Namath By Wearing His Jersey; Joe Namath Responds By Calling Rex Ryan A Fat Mess
For some reason, seemingly everything Broadway Joe says about the current Jets makes news in New York, where The Guarantee is something of a Sermon on the Mount for aging sportswriters. Namath has been especially critical this season of Rex Ryan, questioning the Jets' preparation on one occasion an...
Mark Brunell Is Broke
How did Brunell, with 18 NFL seasons under his belt and more than $50 million in earnings, find himself with comically turned inside-out pocket? Pretty much the same way all broke professional athletes lose their money: a series of bad investments, including a failed Whataburger franchise....
The Jets Are Being Babies About Their Thursday Night Game
Mike Mayock says the Jets are "upset" and "frustrated" at being the only team to play a Thursday night game after a Sunday night game (instead of after a Sunday afternoon game) when they head to Denver in week 11. So just a heads-up now: if the Jets lose to a hapless Broncos team, they're going to c...

The Chargers Sent A Concussed Player Back Into The Game, And Then He Had A Seizure
Wonder why the Chargers' left guard Kris Dielman is listed as "out" for tonight's game? It's not necessarily because the Chargers need a refresher in concussion protocol and played him for nearly a full quarter after obviously getting trauma-ed. Though that probably didn't help....

Donovan McNabb Is Lost And Angry At The World
Two years ago, Donovan McNabb fell off a Chuck Jones-sized cliff. A disastrous, abbreviated season in Washington followed by a more disastrous, more abbreviated season in Minnesota, and he's probably done, right? Gotta figure a guy who's been around this long has lost his mojo, is washed up, is just...
