Roger Goodell Reportedly "Furious" At Being Offered Non-Guaranteed Contract

Report: Giants Players Have Given Up On Ben McAdoo
ESPN’s Josina Anderson is reporting some damning, if unsurprising, quotes coming from a couple of unnamed players in the 1-7 New York Giants locker room. They claim that the Giants are leaderless with coach Ben McAdoo at the helm, that he can’t communicate with players and isn’t making the right dec...

We'll Never Know The Full Extent Of Jeff Fisher's Crimes Against Football
The Rams are 6-2 and in first place in their division. Todd Gurley, who looked possessed by the spirit of Trent Richardson last season, is a fringe MVP candidate this year. Jared Goff no longer looks like butt. The team is solid, but the offense in particular has been outstanding. It’s been quite a ...
Jalen Ramsey On Fight With A.J. Green: "I Told Him Almost Every Play That He Was Weak"
Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey is only in his second season but is already one of the strongest shit-talkers in the league. So it wasn’t all that surprising when his chattering triggered a full-on meltdown by A.J. Green. Today, Ramsey told reporters what he said to make Green so angry....

The Politico Goes On A Cletus Safari, Finds Two Angry NFL Fans Willing To Say What They Mean<em></em>
The world demonstrably does not need another Cletus safari into the heart of Trump’s America, but The Politico has one for you anyway.

How The Saints' Defense Finally Got Its Act Together
Two games into the season, the Saints’ defense performed down to expectations: New Orleans yielded 777 passing yards and 32.5 points per game in a pair of double-digit losses.

Please Save Andrew Luck From The Colts
The Colts got a generational quarterback, put an offensive line made of cheesecloth in front of him, kept starting him after his throwing shoulder started to fall apart, shot him up with painkillers to make sure he could keep throwing and keep getting hit, and now wonder why his arm is so wrecked. A...
Josh Gordon Says He Got Drunk Or High Before Every Game
Josh Gordon has played 35 games in his NFL career, and he has been suspended for 45.

But if all goes we...
Browns: Don't Worry, Our Trade Fuck-Up Wasn't A Strategic Move, It Was Just A Fuck-Up
It requires a pretty deep trust in the Browns’ incompetence to believe that their attempt to trade with the Bengals for A.J. McCarron was really undone by their own inability to file simple paperwork in a timely manner. Trust in the Cleveland Browns’ incompetence is pretty well-placed trust, sure, b...
Report: Jaguars Security Prevented Jalen Ramsey From Fighting A.J. Green In The Locker Room<em></em>
Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey and Bengals receiver A.J. Green were ejected from Sunday’s game after Green choked and punched Ramsey. It was a moment of purposeful violence in a sport that is perpetually trying to control uncontrollable brutality....
