Wes Welker Is Back And It Feels Terrible
By all accounts—his own, his teams’, and a top NFL-affiliated concussion specialist’s—Wes Welker is healthy and ready to play. St. Louis badly needs a receiver.

Cam Newton Vs. The Packers Banner Has A Happy Ending
Banners! Let’s talk about banners. It’s much more interesting than talking about how the Panthers are 8-0*, and with a two-game lead plus the tiebreaker over the Packers, are firmly in the driver’s seat for homefield advantage in the NFC. Because homefield isn’t so great if you’ve got a bunch of a v...
Bills Fan's Moonsault Attempt Somehow Doesn't End In Disaster

Rams Owner Stan Kroenke Is A Bathroom Hog
With the Vikings playing in the University of Minnesota’s stadium until their own new building is complete, visiting dignitaries don’t have the level of luxury they may be used to. Wherever Rams owner Stan Kroenke watched the game from, it didn’t have adequate private restrooms. So he commandeered t...

Once Again, Rex Ryan Trolled The Bills' Opponents With His Selection Of Captains
The Buffalo Bills play the Dolphins today in Buffalo. The two climatologically opposite teams have a rivalry, and the Bills are coached by jolly trickster Rex Ryan, so of course he did some pranking.
