Yesterday was Black Monday in the NFL. My team's coach got fired. Your team's coach got fired. EVERYONE'S coach got fired.

Angry Alabama Fan Drops The Best Burn On Colin Cowherd
Paul Finebaum welcomed ESPN radio personality and rat-faced gasbag Colin Cowherd onto his radio show yesterday, and the two did some chatting about Auburn's stunning win over Alabama in the Iron Bowl.

No, ESPN Didn't Accidentally Leak Nick Saban As The New Texas Coach

The Dumb Iron Bowl Question You Were Afraid To Ask
I watched the Iron Bowl on Saturday and after basking in the glorious HOLYSHIT-ness of it all, I wondered what would happen if you returned a field goal in the middle of a game but failed to bring it all the way to the house.

Where Does Verne Lundquist Rank The Iron Bowl All-Time?
Uncle Verne was cagey about this one.
