Um, Colin Cowherd Has Been Picking Football Games Really Well This Year
ESPN's Colin Cowherd is, even by sports-shock-jock standards, pretty loathsome. He's an inveterate race-baiter. I needn't carry on, but if you'd like me to, I will—he periodically lapses into a nasal whine that no one needs to hear on pay-TV....
Former Texans Punter Suing Reliant Stadium Owners For Being Injured By Its Crappy Field
This week, the Texans brought in a handful of veteran kickers for tryouts. They're reportedly happy with Shayne Graham's field goals, but wish he could get a little more distance on kickoffs.

Concerned Citizen Doesn't Want Redskins Training Camp In His Town Because The NFL "Has Murderers, Rapists, Wife And Girlfriend Beaters, Drunkards, Drug Takers, And Child Molesters"
The Redskins are nearing a deal to move their training camp from Ashburn, Va., to Richmond, and not all of Richmond's citizens are thrilled. There are the typical objections—environmental impact, cost, the fact that a non-profit with ties to the Catholic Church would own the facilities—and then ther...
Yahoo Would Like To Further Explain Why Its Fantasy Football Shit The Bed On Sunday
About an hour before kickoff, Yahoo fantasy sports lost all functionality. No making roster changes, no adding free agents, no scoring, no nothing. That equaled a lot of pissed off users. By Monday morning, things were largely fixed—small consolation to anyone who got shafted the day before because ...
Shooting America's Game: How I Made The NFL Come Alive In Photos
Neil Leifer began shooting big games as an eager teenager in the 1950s, sneaking into stadiums by any means necessary—he'd even volunteer to push wounded veterans around in their wheelchairs. Before too long, he became Sports Illustrated's star photographer. He shot it all—Olympics, World Series, Ke...
Mike Shanahan Filed A Police Report Over Cash Stolen From The Locker Room In Pittsburgh, Later Found It
During the Redskins' Week 8 game in Pittsburgh, Mike Shanahan left his unlocked briefcase in an open locker. Not the smartest move, but one assumes the visitors' locker room is inviolable. After the game, an ugly whipping, Shanahan checked his stuff—and found $3,700 in cash and his passport missing....

Tiki Barber's Life Just Gets Sadder Every Day

Steelers Fans Are Inescapable And Terrible
I have been broadcasting to you live from Walt Disney World all weekend and, man, Steelers fans are everywhere. Even here, at the tiny little corner of a bar at my resort. This woman was so loud and so pro-Pittsburgh and only asked once what was the score. Immediately after I stopped recording her...
The Chiefs Celebrated A Touchdown That Was Not A Touchdown: Chiefs-Steelers, In Two GIFs

A.J. Green On The Fallacy Of The Trap Game: "We Lost To Freakin' Cleveland"
The Bengals and Browns are a bitter, bitter rivalry. For Ohioans, it's almost as bad as soap vs. human skin—you just have to pick a side. It makes sense, then, that A.J.
