What Happened When Janay Rice Met With The NFL In June?
The NFL has consistently shown throughout the Ray Rice saga it has no idea how to deal with domestic assault, perhaps not more obviously than when the league interviewed Janay and Ray Rice at the same time during a June 16th hearing. Questioning the victim of domestic assault in the presence of her ...

Richard Sherman Mocks NFL With Brilliant Press-Conference Performance
This is so good. At his weekly meeting with the press, Seahawks corner Richard Sherman, a cardboard cutout of Doug Baldwin, and the disembodied voice of actual Doug Baldwin teamed up for a skit that took shots at the money-hungry NFL and stood up for teammate Marshawn Lynch, who was fined $100,000 f...

Dominic Raiola Also Punched Zach Moore In The Head
The Lions' Dominic Raiola was mad about the Patriots "playing football," so he went at defensive lineman Zach Moore's knees on the last play of the game. That wasn't Raiola's only cheap shot on Moore, though: Three plays earlier, the center—wearing No. 51—punched Moore in the back of the head as he ...
