Miami Lost And Then Won The Game On Two Huge Special-Teams Plays

But rookie wideout Jarvis Landry slipped on the return, got ...
Holy Crap, Marshawn Lynch
The Seahawks could not stop gushing about Marshawn Lynch's overpowering 79-yard touchdown run in last night's 35-6 dismantling of Arizona. We do not blame them. It was Lynch at his bowling-ball best, so bring on the hype....
No, Aaron Hernandez Wasn't Found Not Guilty
There's an article floating around—mainly on Facebook, but also on Twitter—claiming that Aaron Hernandez was found not guilty of all charges, and will play for the Patriots next season. It is a hoax. A surprising amount of people have believed it....

DeSean Jackson Delivers A Swift Kick To The Eagles' Playoff Hopes
DeSean Jackson had a fun Saturday. The former Philadelphia Eagle got revenge on the team that cut him as he racked up 126 receiving yards on four catches, including two receptions of over 50 yards.

The NFL Will Not Move A Team To Los Angeles For 2015
The three most likely NFL teams to move to Los Angeles—the Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers, and St. Louis Rams—will be staying where they are next season. All three of those teams have expiring leases with their current stadiums, but the NFL won't move a franchise to L.A. until a permanent site ...
Jaguars Fans Brawl Over Free T-Shirt
Not a lot of background on these videos from Thursday night's game in Jacksonville, other than that the two fans—both of whom were arrested—were trying to choke each other out over a free T-shirt that was launched into the crowd. I do not know if either of them ended up getting it. I doubt it....

Yes, there are even more charges against Darren Sharper now. On top of those brought by a state grand jury in New Orleans, a federal grand jury also brought charges in district court against the former NFL safety last Friday.

7-Year-Old Wes Welker Once Whaled On A Dog
ESPN's Kevin Van Valkenburg has a new feature out about Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker. I'm sure it's good, but I really can't say for sure right now because I have spent the last 30 minutes or so thinking about this particular passage:...
