Watch Jamie Dukes Be Totally Inappropriate With His Female NFL Network Co-Host (Video)
He bent over and asked her to take a snap from him. And it was incredibly awkward. Dukes recovered nicely and continued to make his point, but a short time later he ... asked again. And it was even more awkward. Idiot. [Midwest Sports Fans]...

The Braves lost to the Phillies 4-2 last night, and are now just a game ahead of the Cardinals for the NL wild card—all thanks to this carefully-plotted "September Swoon." It's really exciting that t...
The Cowboys Didn't Lose Last Night, But It Wasn't For Lack Of Trying
If you were watching the ESPN postgame last night you probably heard a lot about how Tony Romo and the Cowboys "dug deep." This is a nice way of crediting the winners of an ugly, sloppily played game, which I've reduced here to a few of its ugliest, most sloppily played moments. ...
Your Redskins-Cowboys Open Thread
God, all your rowdy friends are coming over tonight, aren't they? And instead of bringing chips and guacamole, they brought bedbugs and checks you're not supposed to deposit until the end of the month. Gross.

Some Random Fan Joined The Cleveland Browns In Their On-Field Celebration Yesterday (Video)
Years ago, it was common to see lots of fans storm the field to celebrate a team's victory. The obvious security concerns and litigation threats of today, however, make such displays pretty much nonexistent. And television networks have long avoided showing footage of fans running onto playing field...
Old Man Jack McKeon Will Retire After Wednesday's Game
Well, this half-season at the helm of the moribund Marlins was not what I had in mind when I was told about an all-expenses-paid vacation in South Florida, the 80-year-old manager thought to himself, shortly before notifying the Marlins brass of his resignation via telegraph. [Twitter]...

Forget Boston, The Braves Are Going To Blow Their Playoff Spot
Folks fret a lot about the national sports media—we suppose this includes Deadspin—overcovering Boston sports. When it comes to John Lackey's personal calamities, we pay attention with good reason.
