The Lame Andy Dalton-J.J. Watt Beef Has Come To An End
Following the creation of any beef, there comes a time when the parties involved in said beef have to make a choice: Will they escalate things with another dose of burnsauce, or will they leave the kitchen altogether? Andy Dalton and J.J. Watt have reached that point, and both men are standing down....
Reports: Aldon Smith Suspended For One Year
Raiders defensive end Aldon Smith will be suspended by the NFL for one calendar year, according to numerous reports. The suspension stems from Smith’s Aug. 6 arrest for DUI (his third DUI arrest and fifth overall), hit and run, and vandalism. That arrest was the straw that broke the camel’s back and...
Scared White People Are Running Out Of Reasons To Hate Cam Newton
On Sunday in Nashville, the Carolina Panthers beat the Tennessee Titans 27-10 and extended their record to a perfect 8-1. Panthers quarterback Cam Newton sealed the game late in the fourth when he took a snap from two yards out on third and goal, bullied his way to the right, and reached over four T...
Ex-Raven Terrence Cody Found Guilty Of Animal Abuse Charges, Possessing An Alligator
Former Ravens defensive lineman Terrence Cody was found guilty on misdemeanor charges in Baltimore County Circuit Court Monday after his dog Taz starved to death in January....
Tony Romo Is Back And Is Somehow Still Thinking Super Bowl
With the rest of the NFC East looking like a shambling mediocrity, the division seemed like it was the Cowboys’ to take. Then Tony Romo got hurt in the second half of Week 2, and the Cowboys haven’t won since. And yet, somehow, they’re not out of the playoff hunt yet, and Romo will return off IR to ...
Report: It's Johnny Football Time
After spending most of the season going out of his way to not name Johnny Manziel the starting quarterback, head coach Mike Pettine has finally relented, according to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer....
The Rams Finally Bench Nick Foles
That it’s taken this long for the Rams to make the switch from Nick Foles, who has led St. Louis to league-worst marks in just about every passing metric, is more a testament to the fact that Plan B isn’t very attractive either. But at 4-5, they aren’t out of things yet, so why not put up a Hail Mar...
J.J. Watt And Andy Dalton Engage In Just The Lamest Beef
Houston beat Cincinnati 10-6 Monday night, in a game that was about as entertaining as that score indicates. Backup Texans quarterback T.J. Yates threw the only touchdown of the game, entering in the third quarter after Brian Hoyer suffered a concussion. With the loss the Bengals fall to 8-1, while ...
Report: Saints Finally Fire Rob Ryan
Earlier this morning there were reports that the 4-6 New Orleans Saints—who have given up by far the most points in the NFL this season—were going to fire defensive coordinator Rob Ryan. For some reason they decided to go through the charade of pretending Ryan’s firing wasn’t a foregone conclusion, ...
NFL Admits Officials Screwed Ravens Out Of A Win
Yesterday’s Jaguars-Ravens game ended with the Jags kicking a game-winning field goal on the final play of the game. According to an NFL spokesman, that play should have never happened, and the Ravens should have won....
We’re Not Allowed At A Talk By The NFL’s Domestic Violence Expert
Last week, Deadspin published a transcript of Greg Hardy’s NFL hearing, wherein a panel of NFL representatives equipped with the CBA rulebook and court transcripts reviewed the domestic violence charges brought against the current Cowboys defensive end by his ex-girlfriend, Nicole Holder. One of the...
Drew Stanton Danced And Carson Palmer Told The Crowd To Suck It
While a new piece of Peyton Manning falls onto the field every week, another aging quarterback with an injury history is having his Kurt Warner period. Carson Palmer didn’t have the cleanest game Sunday against the Seahawks—with two of his three turnovers resulting in touchdowns—but he did come away...
Cam Newton Is The Most Fun
Here’s the funny thing about Cam Newton, who has so far led the Carolina Panthers to a 9-0 record: his numbers aren’t even all that spectacular. They are perfectly good—2,037 yards through the air, 366 on the ground, 21 total touchdowns, nine interceptions—but they don’t have quite the same unassail...
The Jig Is Up For Rob Ryan
Rob Ryan, like his equally rambunctious brother Rex, is an enjoyable personality in the NFL. He is not, however, a good defensive coordinator....
The Giants Just Can't Seal The Deal
Of the New York Giants’ five losses this season, three of the opponents’ game-winning scores have come with a combined eight seconds left. Last night’s 27-26 New England win, one of the best football games of the year, required Tom Brady to use all but one second of the 1:47 the Giants gave him, and...
Aaron Rodgers Criticizes Packers Fan Who Screamed "MUSLIMS SUCK!" During Moment Of Silence
Morons at Lambeau Field interrupted yesterday’s league-mandated moment of silence for Paris terrorism victims with all manner of ejaculations, including “MUSLIMS SUCK!” (We isolated a crowd-level audio feed of the moment in the above video.) Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers addressed the remark in ...
Peyton Manning Needs To Sit
Peyton Manning is racking up injuries almost as fast as interceptions. (Almost.) Two weeks ago, it was his right, throwing shoulder. Last week it was his right foot, the one he’s clearly struggling to push off of and floating weak, underthrown balls. Before yesterday’s terrible 29-13 loss to Kansas ...
Martellus Bennett Roasts The Rams
The Bears, despite any strange injury shenanigans, played their best game of the year down in St. Louis as they left with a 37-13 win. They put up their highest point total of the year and were clearly feeling themselves, Martellus Bennett most of all. Bennett, who is always good for a fantastic quo...
