NFL Demotes Officiating Crew After Screwups In Cardinals-Niners Game
Sunday’s Cardinals-49ers game was a disaster for the officials, one that stood out even against the backdrop of an especially woeful season for the zebras. How bad was it? The crew responsible has been demoted from primetime....
Sad Browns Fans Continue To Be A Gift
Last night’s Browns lost, one of the Brownsiest we’ve ever seen, already gave us a few great videos of sad Browns fans reacting to the horror unfolding in front of them. The video below made its way into our inbox over night, and we felt compelled to share it....
The Browns Need To Choose A New QB Again
Give the Browns this: for a team mired in a perpetual quarterback controversy, they manage never to have the same one twice. With Josh McCown reportedly out for the year, the newest debate is between Austin Davis, who wasn’t even with the team in training camp, and (once again) Johnny Manziel, who M...
Browns Fans Shot The Saddest Goddamn Videos As Their Team Blew It Once Again
These Browns fans thought they were going to capture a triumphant victory over the hated Baltimore Ravens, with the worst case scenario being the game going into overtime. Instead they managed to document a beautiful mosaic of Browns fan sadness, resignation, anger, and fury. Poor Cleveland....
Ravens Return Blocked Field Goal For TD With No Time Left To Beat Browns
We weren’t looking forward to tonight’s Monday Night Football matchup between the 2-8 Browns and the 3-7 Ravens—neither was ESPN—but dammit if it didn’t turn out to be an incredibly exciting game, with the most batshit insane ending of the year....
Off-Duty Cops Really Want To Bring Their Guns Into NFL Stadiums
Earlier this month the National Fraternal Order of Police sent a letter to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, urging him to allow off-duty law enforcement officers to bring their guns into NFL stadiums. The Fraternal Order of Police believes that if off-duty cops have their guns, they will be able to p...
Even ESPN Is Trying To Warn You About Tonight's Dreadful Ravens-Browns Game
Tonight, the Ravens and Browns will play what will most likely be the least appealing Monday night game of the season. Look at the schedule. Vikings-49ers was horrid, but at least we had Jim Tomsula reaction shots to entertain us. This game will have nothing....
Robert Flores Says No One's Mad About Travis Kelce's Touchdown Dance Because He's White
During today’s highlight of Travis Kelce’s touchdown dance from Sunday’s game against the Bills, SportsCenter’s Robert Flores openly wondered why no one was up in arms over the Chiefs’ tight end hitting the Quan. After all, Cam Newton caught hell for reveling in the Panthers’ win over the Titans two...
Calvin Pryor Blames Rishard Matthews's Injury On Ryan Tannehill's Bad Throw
On the Dolphins’ third play from scrimmage in their 38-20 loss to the Jets, Ryan Tannehill threw a short pass behind Rishard Matthews. When Matthews turned for the ball—it went past him—Jets safety Calvin Pryor slammed into Matthews’s torso. He would leave the game with what were described as rib an...
Carson Palmer Runs For A Touchdown, Eats It
Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer ran for the game-winning score in Sunday’s game against the 49ers, which was his first rushing touchdown since 2012, so the old man tried one of those celebrations that all the cool players do. He put too much behind his spike, and fell over....
Jameis Winston Mad About Sheep
At some point during his team’s loss to the Colts, Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston dispensed some heated wisdom on the sideline:...
Odell Beckham's Catch Was Absolutely Ridiculous, Again
It makes you wonder how the Giants ever lose a game, when they can seemingly just throw a football anywhere within his gravity well and he’ll pull it in....
Reports: Rob Gronkowski Is "Going To Be OK"
Like some sort of reverse Christmas morning, where the presents are torn ligaments and the tinsel is an early playoff exit (I’m still working on the analogy), Patriots fans had to be dreading waking up to details on Rob Gronkowski’s scary-looking knee injury, which caused the star TE to be carted of...
Patriots' Undefeated Season Goes Down On 48-Yard C.J. Anderson Run In Overtime
The Peyton Manning-less Denver Broncos handed New England their first loss of the season in overtime in the middle of a Colorado blizzard tonight. C.J. Anderson sealed it with this run from 48 yards out on a toss play on third-and-1. Carolina is now the only undefeated team left in the NFL (probably...
J.J. Watt And The Texans Are On Fire
The Texans looked like one of the worst teams in the NFL for the majority of the first half of the season. Their only wins through Week 7 were over the Bucs in Jameis Winston’s third game and the goddamn Jaguars. The team was embroiled in the dumbest quarterback controversy ever between Ryan Mallett...
Someone Please Teach Blake Bortles The Rules Of Football
Blake my friend, you have to pass it before you go past the line of scrimmage. I understand that the blue line on the broadcasts isn’t on the field, but c’mon man, this is at least four yards past the line. You got it? Cool....
Eli Manning Throws A Pair Of Tip-Drill Interceptions In Rapid Succession
Man, this is some piss-poor luck from Eli Manning. Shane Vereen is one of the best pass-catching running backs in the NFL, so this first pick is pretty inexcusable. The second toss maybe should have been picked, but Will Blackmon redeemed himself and scooped it up anyhow....
Schrödinger's Football: Today's Guide To Ignoring The NFL
As pointed out Tuesday, the NFL is having a terrible time with officiating this season. Or, anyway, the NFL seems to be having a terrible time with officiating this season. Are we just more aware of it? Who can say. NFL football, in fact, only exist in the abstract, and must be articulated to fans e...
Jerry Jones Says Rushing Tony Romo Back Was Worth it
Way back in September, when the Cowboys were 2-0 and looking like they could win a weak NFC East, Tony Romo broke his collarbone. The injury held him out for eight weeks, during which the Cowboys went 0-7. With the NFC East a shitpile at that point (for the record, it’s still a shitpile), the 2-7 Co...
Romo Down
A bad game for the Dallas Cowboys got worse when quarterback Tony Romo was injured after Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis sacked him....
