These Are The Faces Of Philadelphia: Panthers-Eagles, In Two GIFs
Carolina 30, Philadelphia 22: As a fan, maybe you know the internal feeling that this man is expressing outwardly.

Jamaal Charles Waited Around for Peyton Manning's Autograph After Losing To Peyton Manning
According to Neal Jones of KCTV-5, Dwayne Bowe also got in on the action and posed for some pictures with Manning following Kansas City's 17-9 loss to the Broncos. And he actually made some sense. When cameras caught the two Chiefs stars milling around for Manning, it was a goofy bit of video—which...

Texas A&M Finally Lets Johnny Football Talk
Johnny Manziel—though he has a really cool nickname, and though he led his team to an upset of top-ranked Alabama, and though he is putting together one of the all-time great individual seasons—remains something of a mystery to college football fans. This was in part due to Texas A&M coach Kevin Su...

Jay Cutler: The Antihero Who Looks A Lot Like A Hero
On Sunday, during ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown, Tom Jackson went on a mini tirade about Bears quarterback Jay Cutler that was as needless as it was brainless. Here was a grown man dispatched into sputtering agitation by a 10-second clip of another guy walking into a stadium. We've been down this road...

The Eagles Can't Even Fire Some No-Name Marketing Executive Without Screwing Something Up
The Philadelphia Eagles this afternoon fired someone named Tim McDermott. From a football standpoint, it's not a big deal. McDermott was the team's senior vice president and chief marketing officer, so it's not like he was responsible for, say, drafting Jaiquwan Jarrett. If anything, shitcanning McD...

Robert Griffin III Is Basically The President Of The United States, Only Better, According To <em>New York Times</em> Columnist Maureen Dowd

Jason Babin May Have Lost His Mind
Tonight's game between the Panthers and Eagles looked really good when the schedules first came out, but in reality, it will be a hot mess between two underachieving teams with no current playoff hopes led by coaches trying to save their jobs. Eagles' defensive end Jason Babin is still pumped up fo...

The 76ers' Website Apparently Was Selling "Drew Holiday" Jerseys A Little While Ago
Drew Holiday! Isn't he the guy who leads the Sixers in scoring, assists, and minutes played this season? He's not? Really? Because I could swear that guy has a name that sounds a lot like Drew Holiday, which must be why the Sixers were so eagerly pushing his jersey with a banner ad at the bottom of ...

Here's Every Instance Of Phil Simms Saying The Word "Football" In A Single Broadcast
"This guy." "The National Football League." Sportscasters have their own pet phrases, most of which add nothing to the conversation.

Drawn By The Scent Of Death And Decay, Coyotes Prowl Wrigley Field
Night. The pack slips silently out of the den, drawn by an unnameable urge deep in the midbrain. The streets are deserted, the twolegs having retreated to the safety of their dwellings.
