Looks Like Sunday's Bills Game Will Be Moved [Update: Yep]
It's still snowing in Western New York. (What the fuck, snow.) The Bills remain scheduled to play the Jets, but people are dying and trapped and stranded and there's probably no real reason 70,000 people should be on the road at the same time on Sunday. It's sounding like sanity is beginning to prev...
The Chargers Are Still Trying To Hide Philip Rivers's Injury
After Antonio Gates spoke out of class and revealed that his quarterback has been dealing with a "severe rib injury," the Chargers closed ranks. Rivers said he was fine. His coach said he wasn't injured. Gates claimed he had been misquoted. Then, yesterday, Rivers showed up on the injury report with...
The Bills Are Planning To Play On Sunday Despite Being Relocated To Hoth

What Did RG3 Say That Peyton Manning Hasn't?
In terms of RG3 takes, it appears we're not quite out of the woods. The quarterback's comments after Washington's pratfall against Tampa Bay—in which he more or less said football is a team effort—gave everyone the opportunity to take a swing at the already-half-broken piñata. Here's one more bad ta...
Emmanuel Sanders Partied In Heaven With All The Ladies
After getting absolutely crushed on a scary play during Sunday's game against the Rams, Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders fell victim to a Wikipedia prankster who edited the page to say that Sanders had died. The wideout caught wind of this, and he responded with a well-struck "Hi haters."...
4 To 6 Weeks, My Ass: Why NFL Injury Estimates Are Bullshit
Not long after Robert Griffin III hobbled out of Week 2 with an ankle injury, the team and the media went into their usual casualty-reporting routine.

Marshawn Lynch Drove To A Guy's House To Return His Wallet

Cam Newton's Twitter Got Hacked And Then Suspended

RG3 Is Making Everyone Insane
Let's begin with the full quote. You already know that RG3 allegedly threw his teammates under the bus after the Skins got their asses handed to them by the Bucs at home on Sunday, but you probably only read this part of the quote…...
How The NFL Exploited A Child Abuser To Restore Its Brand
1. When talking or writing about the NFL's handling of the Adrian Peterson case, it's difficult to separate discussion of the vicious cruelty of Peterson's actions from the fairness of the NFL's adjudicatory process. You can wholeheartedly believe Peterson belongs in jail, or in hell, and believe at...

Fed-Up LeGarrette Blount Left The Steelers Game Early

NFL Suspends Adrian Peterson For The Rest Of The Season

Shaun Smith: "Hope Your Sons Don't Turn Out Like Magic Johnson Son"
Former NFL defensive lineman Shaun Smith—who played for five different teams in an eight year career that ended in 2012—has been going off on people on Twitter for the past two hours. He began half combatively/half playfully interacting with the usual mess of questions, insults, and trolls all fam...
ESPN Randomly Cuts To Lisa Salters Shouting "WOOOO" At Le'Veon Bell
We'd love to know the context of this, but here's Lisa Salters "WOOOO"-ing at Le'Veon Bell, presumably after finishing her post-game interview with him; the shot randomly appeared in the middle of the opening segment of tonight's SportsCenter, and it's pretty funny to watch on repeat:...
Sergio Brown Fires Back At Rob Gronkowski: "I Put Straps On That Boy"
The beef between Rob Gronkowski and Sergio Brown isn't through. Even after Gronkowski ran the Colts safety into a camera cart last night—and took a penalty for it—the tight end kept talking about the guy who broke his arm in 2012....
The Feds Are Very Interested In The NFL's Painkiller Problem

Police: Drunk Jaguars Player Tried To Use Bubble Gum As Money
