Report: Chip Kelly Was Fired In Part Because He Messed Up The Eagles' Holiday Party 

Holiday parties are a wonderful time of the year where you can get drunk with your coworkers, contract gonorrhea from them, or in Chip Kelly’s case, hurry on your pending unemployment.

Bills Fan Sets Himself On Fire

All good things must come to an end, by which I mean: the Buffalo Bills are playing their last home game of the season today. It was a hell of a run, featuring barfing, furniture wrestling, butts, and doin’ it in the parking lot. Today, we bring you a tale of two tables....

Progress! Progress? Today's Guide To Ignoring The NFL

Goodbye Jim Tomsula, Man Of Many Talents

Firing season is truly upon us. According to a report from PFT, the 49ers are going to fire Jim Tomsula after a fairly disastrous 4-11 season that saw the team regress all the way from championship contenders to one of the worst teams in the NFL. Not all of this is Tomsula’s fault, of course (everyo...

Charles Woodson Says Marvin Harrison Was The Best Receiver He Played Against

Charles Woodson is retiring after tomorrow’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Eagles Sure Seem To Have Hated Playing For Chip Kelly

What Do The Eagles Do Now?

On its face, the Eagles’ decision to dump head coach Chip Kelly after two good seasons and a bad one makes little sense. A good coach is one of the hardest things to find in the NFL, and it’s usually a bad idea to get rid of a coach after just one down year. That logic doesn’t really follow in Kelly...

Brandon Weeden Roasted Jerry Jones

Brandon Weeden began this season as a Cowboy and is going to end it among the thicket of, oh, let’s say, imperfect QBs leading the Texans into the playoffs (unless the Colts somehow beat the 3,300:1 odds stacked against them). I’m sure he didn’t imagine he’d play much this season, let alone start fo...

Peter King: "I Am Obviously A Rube"

Eric Weddle And The Chargers Seem To Be Done With Each Other

Eric Weddle has spent all nine seasons of his pro career with the Chargers, and after he didn’t receive a contract extension before the season, it seemed likely that he’d sign with another team when he became a free agent. Now, the prospect of Weddle leaving the Chargers is a virtual certainty. And ...

How Did Brandon McManus Shank That Kick So Badly?

It’s a good thing Broncos kicker Brandon McManus got the chance the redeem himself with a 37-yard winner in overtime, because if his last appearance on the field had been the incomprehensibly shanked attempt that would have won the game at the end of regulation, he’d probably be locked in Peyton Man...
