Oh Good, Time For Patriots Fans To Get Mad At ESPN Again
Those were good times, weren’t they? When that big ESPN report on a schism between Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, driven in part by Brady’s shady nutrition “guru” Alex Guerrero, dropped right before the playoffs and set off rounds of denials and non-denials and recriminations, and a whole lot of scre...
NFL Hall Of Famers Are Already Backing Away From The Letter Demanding Better Retirement Benefits
The names of 21 NFL greats are listed at the bottom of the letter announced today demanding health insurance and pensions for Hall of Famers.

Michael Dickson Is As Cool As A Punter Can Be
The Seahawks tore it down this offseason, and now they’re 0-2, with a bad offensive line and a goddamn Schottenheimer for an offensive coordinator. But they have Michael Dickson as their punter, and that’s more fun than it may seem—and not just because Dickson knows how to drop kick....

The Bears Are Going To Need More From Mitchell Trubisky At Some Point
The Bears beat the Seahawks 24-17 last night, and did so while looking like a team a few weight classes above their opponent.

Sunday Was Hell Day For Kickers

Mike Zimmer On Why He Cut Kicker Daniel Carlson: "Did You See The Game?"

How else to explain Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer answering a question about why he cut kicker Daniel Carlson—who missed three fie...
Frank Gore Has Been So Good For So Long
Frank Gore was not supposed to be in the NFL for over a decade.

W...
Antonio Brown Is Winless And Grouchy
The Steelers don’t need Le’Veon Bell around to continue with the infighting and grumpiness; they’ve got that covered.
