Chip Kelly Says He Wanted Sam Bradford <i>And </i>Nick Foles
The Eagles knew they were taking a risk when they stripped personnel power from GM Howie Roseman and handed it to Chip Kelly, who might be brilliant or crazy. Owner Jeffrey Lurie admitted as much in comments at the owners' meeting yesterday, and said the team could have been content racking up 10-wi...
Tom Coughlin Wants His Dang Phone's "Lady In GPS" To Shut Up
Giants head coach Tom Coughlin is 68 years old. Factoring his age in with his demanding job, no one's expecting him to be on the cutting edge of technology. And yet, Coughlin's anecdote about his inability to turn off Siri on his iPhone—or, "the lady in GPS"—is still fantastic:...
Is Aaron Hernandez Good At Murder? A Deadspin Debate
Earlier today, Diana published a thoughtful look at how Aaron Hernandez's well documented recklessness and stupidity likely will not stop him from getting away with murder.

Peter King Does Weird Things With His Mouth

The Time Aaron Hernandez Peed On A Cab And Told Off A Reporter
The MMQB's Greg Bedard, who was a Boston Globe reporter on the Patriots beat during the seasons that Aaron Hernandez was on the team, has written an essay about his time spent covering Hernandez, and it includes one scene that begins with Hernandez pissing all over a running taxi cab and ends with t...
Aaron Hernandez Is An Idiot, But He Still Might Get Away With Murder
You can get away with murder, you know. It's just easier for those of us who don't murder not to think about it. To some extent, it's baked into the system, one designed in theory (though not always in practice) to start out with a presumption of innocence. The other factors that come in usually...

Adrian Peterson Is A Fucking Moron
You know, just once in this lifetime, I would like my favorite team to acquire a legendary skill position player who does NOT turn out to be a complete fucking shithead. The Vikings drafted Randy Moss, and I had to spend a decade justifying his existence to myself when he would sit down and make a ...
Adrian Peterson's Agent: "We Want Out Of Minnesota"
Adrian Peterson is under contract with the Vikings through 2017.

Serial Rapist Darren Sharper Might Serve Just 9 Years [Updated]
As expected, the plea deals are rolling in for accused serial rapist Darren Sharper, and so far the sentences seem fairly light. But we won't know how long Sharper will spend in prison until he officially pleads in all five jurisdictions, because he'll functionally serve only the longest of his fi...

Look At This Dumb Racist Dog
The Skins asked their fans to tweet photos of their dogs wearing team apparel for National Puppy Day—a day that doesn't really exist, as every day is a national celebration of puppies—and one guy just jammed a Skins helmet on his dog's head....
