Bills Fans Engage In A Casual, Friendly Slap Fight

Colts' Senior Citizens' Collective Beats Up On The Jaguars
The last time Matt Hasselbeck started an NFL game, he replaced a hurt Jake Locker in Tennessee in 2012. He wasn’t supposed to see time then, either, already in the “fossilized mentor” stage of his career, which he now occupies in Indianapolis with Andrew Luck. He’s well past his due date, I’m saying...

The Biggest NFL Story Today Is Whether Jim Tomsula Farted At A Press Conference
After a feel-good win against the Vikings in Week 1, the 49ers have reverted to the complete mess we knew they’d be, but ignore that for a minute. Did head coach Jim Tomsula fart during yesterday’s press conference? Listen for yourself:...

What's Wrong With Andrew Luck?
The Colts have tried to downplay whatever’s wrong with Andrew Luck’s health. On Sunday, coach Chuck Pagano said he was OK. On Monday, Luck declared himself “fine.” On Wednesday, Pagano casually read off his injury list—mentioning Luck eighth. For the last two days, Luck has been officially “limited”...

How To Be A Gracious And Fun Wedding Date
Fifteen years ago, signing up to be someone’s wedding date might have only meant giving up a couple of hours of your life. You would go to a short ceremony at a neighborhood church followed by a rubbery chicken dinner nearby. You might have had to awkwardly dance to “Shout!” with strangers, but knew...

The Jets Are Bringing Their Own Toilet Paper To London
NFL teams are obsessed with routine. Surprises are the worst possibilities imaginable, unless they’re tricking their opponents. When the Jets travel to London for this Sunday’s game against the Dolphins, they’ll be bringing all the American supplies they can in order to keep the peace, including toi...

Mark Davis Travels 500 Fucking Miles To Look Like That!
Probably no haircut in human history has communicated as devastating a summation of its owner’s entire life as the insane orange Moe Howard bowl cut sported by Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis. Carve the shape of it into the wall of his father Al Davis’s mausoleum and it will tell a richer and truer...

Cam Newton Isn't Buying Ed Hochuli's Denial
On Sunday, Panthers QB Cam Newton said referee Ed Hochuli told him he didn’t get a call on a late hit because he wasn’t “old enough.” Hochuli denied it, and video of the conversation between the two appeared to show the ref telling Newton he didn’t get a flag because he was running outside the pocke...

Ed Hochuli Denies Telling Cam Newton He Isn't "Old Enough" To Get A Call
Cam Newton was upset about a borderline-late hit that went uncalled in Carolina’s 27-22 win over New Orleans, and he was even more upset by what he said was referee Ed Hochuli’s explanation: “He said, ‘Cam, you’re not old enough to get that call.’” Hochuli denies it, and if you can read lips, you ca...

Nationals Suspend Jonathan Papelbon For Choking Out Their Best Player
Since MLB isn’t equipped to punish a player choking out his own teammate in the dugout, the Nationals gave a four-game suspension to fuming goblin Jonathan Papelbon for attacking Bryce Harper during Sunday’s game....

EL-P On The New Cat-Rap Classic <i>Meow The Jewels</i>: "It's A Lonely And Strange Thing"
Embrace the moment: One of the most feverishly anticipated hip-hopalbums of the year is finally here, and it’s made up almost entirely of sampled cat sounds.

Nation Demands Pro-Jonathan Papelbon Takes; Fox Sports Provides Them
The trouble with a story like yesterday’s Bryce Harper-Jonathan Papelbon fight in the Nationals dugout is that it does not contain much—any—ambiguity. It is unambiguously wonderful, that oh-God-this-is-so-fucking-stupid kind of wonderful, and also Jonathan Papelbon unambiguously is a belligerent too...

Cam Newton: Ed Hochuli Said I Wasn't "Old Enough" To Get A Call
Panthers quarterback Cam Newton stirred up some drama during his postgame press conference yesterday, claiming that muscle-bound referee Ed Hochuli told him he wasn’t “old enough” to earn a personal foul call....

Enjoy The Matt Williams Farce While You Still Can
It is a testament to the Washington Nationals’ dysfunction that the dugout fight between Jonathan Papelbon and Bryce Harper almost made sense compared to everything that came after. A team’s for-hire closer trying to choke the league MVP is one thing, but it’s absolutely inexplicable that manager Ma...

Jonathan Papelbon And Bryce Harper Brawl In Nationals Dugout
The Nationals are really deteriorating as their season comes to an end. They somehow have a winning record, but the dugout has gotten downright toxic.
