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 Feds Are Very Interested In The NFL's Painkiller Problem

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

Carolina Won And Then Lost The Game On Two Huge 4th Quarter Plays
Late in the fourth quarter against the Falcons, Cam Newton and the Panthers were driving, down two, when Newton hit his rookie wideout Kelvin Benjamin for a 17-yard gain, taking Carolina down to the Atlanta 32, within field goal range. It represented the biggest gain in WPA for the week—28 percentag...
Rodney Harrison: "I Think You Have To Get Rid Of" RGIII
Washington's 27-7 loss to Tampa Bay could be described as rock bottom if this franchise hadn't proven so adept at digging even deeper.

Gronk Ruins Sergio Brown's Life, Takes Penalty
Rob Gronkowski does not like Sergio Brown, even though the Colts safety used to play for New England. Back in 2012, Brown was the one who caused Gronkowski to break his arm on a point-after attempt. (Gronkowski shouldn't have been in the game that late anyway, but he's not going to be mad at his own...

Report: Miami Dolphin Got Special Treatment After Domestic Abuse Arrest
Back in 2010, police arrested then-Dolphins defensive end Phillip Merling and charged him with aggravated domestic battery on a pregnant woman after he allegedly hit then-fiancée Kristen Lennon in the head.
