The NFL Has No Idea Who's Going To Coach The Pro Bowl
Try to care about the Pro Bowl for a second. Or, rather: try to care about some NFL execs' lives being made more stressful because of the Pro Bowl. (See? Much easier when you think of it that way.)...

Denver Broncos, Head Coach John Fox Agree To Part Ways
The Denver Broncos dropped out of the playoffs after one game, and today, the team and John Fox mutually agreed to part ways with the team. It's the nice way of getting fired!...
What Was Wrong With Peyton Manning?
Everyone who watched the Broncos lose to the Colts yesterday could see that something wasn't right with Peyton Manning. He spent the first half air-mailing wobbly deep balls and the second half firing short, non-lethal passes while generally looking like an overmatched old guy. So what the hell was ...
The NFL's Rules Are Dumb
The thing we have to establish to be able to talk about this with the same frame of reference is that Dez Bryant didn't catch that football. Oh sure, maybe he had the ball firmly in his grasp, maybe he was confident enough in his possession to turn and lunge for the end zone, wheeling his feet under...
What Do The Broncos Do Now?
Peyton Manning did not look right today. Maybe it was his vague thigh injury, surgically repaired neck, or some other ailment, but his throws were inaccurate and rough. Manning barely completed half of his passes, finishing 26 of 46 with one touchdown and 211 passing yards. The Colts go to the AFC c...

A Priceless Photo Of Chris Christie Thinking Dez Bryant Made That Catch
Though FOX didn't give us the Chris Christie reaction shots we desired for the Cowboys-Packers game, stringer Andy Manis snapped a photo for NJ.com of Jerry Jones's suite at Lambeau Field, reportedly as Dez Bryant made his fourth-down catch (that was overturned after review). Christie, in the upper-...
Dez Bryant's Overturned Catch Ruined Our Fun
Cowboys-Packers provided what we want in playoff football. We got to watch two talented (though injured) quarterbacks mess around in a high-energy atmosphere. Then, a review had to screw up our perfect experience....
T.J. Lang's Block On Nick Hayden Sparks Cowboys-Packers Shove-Fest
Green Bay offensive lineman T.J. Lang shoved Dallas defensive tackle Nick Hayden to the ground as officials blew their whistle on a Davante Adams catch, and that enough to start a big pushing match between some Packers and Cowboys....
Tony Romo Holds His Butt
Tony Romo's on the ground, it's cold, and his butt hurts. Let him feel sorry for himself for a second. Fortunately for the Cowboys, Romo's butt wasn't seriously injured....
Concussions Sure Are Frustrating
Never mind that Rolando McClain had "concussion-like symptoms" last week, and—judging by his exit from today's game with a head injury—probably shouldn't have touched the field against the Packers today. Ed Werder wants you to know how frustrating it is for the Cowboys' training staff....
The Patriots Annoyed John Harbaugh By Having Fun With Eligible Receivers
The Patriots needed creativity to beat the Ravens last night. Julian Edelman showed he could throw a deep ball better than Tom Brady on a trick-play touchdown bomb to Danny Amendola, but New England also ran a few plays that mixed up eligible receivers. Those formations were totally legal, but Balti...
