Where Have All The Cowboys Fans Gone?
A couple weeks back, Troy Aikman called Cowboys fans a bunch of bandwagoners. It stung, but he was only talking about people who attend games "to be seen." The real fans, the ones who gather in bars and living rooms across the DFW metro area to watch the game, surely they haven't abandoned their bel...

The Steelers Faked An Injury To Stop The Clock
Midway through the fourth, with the Steelers up a score and on the edge of field goal range, Ben Roethlisberger was sacked.

Five Pee-Wee Football Players Suffered Concussions In A 52-0 Loss
It is not as absurd a question as it would have been, say, 10 years ago: Would you want your kid playing football?

The Marlins Ate $8 Million Worth Of Salary To Get Rid Of "Bitter Pariah" Heath Bell
The Miami Marlins traded Heath Bell away to the Arizona Diamondbacks—well, gave him away and promised to pay part of his salary, more than traded—and the Miami Herald dispatch announcing his departure made sure to give him a good kneecapping on the way out....
The Jets, To The Patriots: "Hang On A Minute"
The Patriots' hurry-up offense is quick—too quick, according to the Jets. They point to a crucial moment in the Patriots win over the Broncos two weeks ago in which the Patriots had sped up their offense so much between snaps that the Broncos didn't have time to make substitutions. That's not fair: ...
Your NFL Sunday Open Thread
The lights are low, the shades are drawn, we're eating sriracha-based chili: let's watch some football.

Florida Gators Coach Will Muschamp Can't Control The VOLUME OF HIS VOICE
The Florida Gators put a beating on South Carolina yesterday in what many expected to be the marquee match-up of the day. At halftime, the Gators were up 21-6, so local radio might reasonably have expected a positive and mellow interview from a pleasantly surprised Florida coach....
Tennessee Fan Is Latest To Take Advantage Of Live TV Camera And Pantomime Blowjobs
After we had our fun with the jackass who made blowjob pantomimes behind home plate of a Cubs game, we figured the days of televised fake fellatio were over. Not so, as we learned at Neyland Stadium tonight, as one young Vols fan had enough of ESPN's camera and decided to take matters into his ow...
Fan Runs Onto Field In The Middle Of Live Play During Florida State-Miami Game
Idiots On The Field tend to perform their antics during breaks in play; that's why security guards ring the baselines in between innings of baseball games, et cetera. Tonight's Idiot in Miami took things to a whole new level, though, rushing onto the field during a play in the first quarter of Fl...
Texas Tech And TCU Combine For 37 Points After The End Of The Fourth Quarter, But Texas Tech Comes Out Ahead
Texas Tech and TCU combined to score 109 points in an incredible game that took a solid four hours and saw a hundred or so lead changes.

There's No Cheering In The Pressbox, So ESPN's Lee Corso Went Down To The Sidelines
Lee Corso's College GameDay schtick has for decades been his end-of-show prognostication of the day's feature game—usually involving his favored team's mascot. (Today he picked the hometown Gators to beat South Carolina, and even brought a baby alligator to the set.) But we mostly assumed his inte...
Texas A&M's Six Laterals With No Time Left Couldn't Beat LSU
Not often that an SEC tilt will give you flashbacks to a Div. III game from five years ago. But today the No. 20 Aggies started slinging laterals every which way but forward while down five and out of time against No. 6 LSU, almost raising the ghosts of Trinity vs. Millsaps....
