How The Jets' Run-Stuffing, QB-Ruining Defensive Line Came To Be
It's up in the air who named the Jets' defensive line of Sheldon Richardson, Damon Harrison, and Muhammad Wilkerson the "Sons of Anarchy," but there's no question how disruptive and dominant the line has been. Without much help from the secondary, it's helped return Rex Ryan's squad to its place as...

Florida Ruined The NFL
Burn Florida. Sterilize the entire state of its NFL teams as you would an MRSA contamination. Float it into the Gulf, Bugs Bunny-style.

An Emotional Shannon Sharpe Rips The Dolphins Locker Room
On CBS's pregame show, Shannon Sharpe had some very strong words for the Dolphins, less about their handling of the Incognito-Martin fallout, and more about a locker room that let things get to the point where a white player can call a teammate a "half-nigger" and it's supposed to be taken in good h...
How Peter King Got His (Late) Dog Because Of The Redskins
It's almost not fair to write about putting down an aged dog, because there's no possible way you can read it and not get misty-eyed.

How Long Can Peyton Manning's Bum Ankle Hold Up?
Yes, that is a football in Peyton Manning's crotch, and he's not just happy to see you. In fact, he's in an awful lot of pain.
