Even NFL Trash Talking Has Its Limits
Just before halftime of the Jets’ 23-20 OT win over the Giants, WR Brandon Marshall got into it with DT Cullen Jenkins.

What Was Bill Belichick Thinking?
If the season ended today, the Patriots would have to play (against the Jets!) on wild-card weekend.

But life comes at you fast, and if it’s entirely normal that New England would strug...
New Orleans Saints Score First Defensive Two-Point Conversion In NFL History

Tom Brady Has Nobody Left To Throw To
After Rob Gronkowski left Sunday’s game against the Broncos with a late leg injury, Tom Brady threw passes to a 30-year-old backup who was very clear about that role, a rookie with more lost fumbles than NFL receptions, Brandon LaFell, and a backup running back with 22 career carries. It didn’t go w...
NFL's VP Of Officiating Defends Very Bad Year Of Officiating
One of the defining characteristics of this NFL season has been late-game officiating controversies. There was the tumultuous ending to the Patriots-Bills game, the weird anti-Cam Newton grandstanding by Ed Hochuli, the phantom offensive pass interference call that allowed the Broncos to give the Pa...
Packers running back Eddie Lacy had five attempts for four yards and one catch for a loss of three yards in last night’s game.

The 49ers' Front Office Is Still A Huge Mess
It’s hard to imagine a football team having a worse season, top-to-bottom, than the 2015 San Francisco 49ers. Things stayed messy last night, with various reports stating that team president Paraag Marathe is being shuffled off to a lesser role within the organization, a move that will apparently ta...
No One Has Ever Seen A Hail Mary Like Aaron Rodgers's
The thing that stands out, amid all the craziness in Green Bay’s miracle 27-23 win, is just how damn high that pass went.
