What's Wrong With NFL Officiating?
It’s getting exhausting emerging from each weekend with our choice of questionable and downright bad refereeing decisions to analyze, but it feels unavoidable these days. I don’t know if it’s confirmation bias or if it’s real, but NFL officiating feels as bad this season as it’s ever been. Last nigh...

NFL Admits It Fucked Up With Pajama Uniforms That Ruined Game For Colorblind Fans

Rex Ryan Was Fuckin' Pumped About Beating The Jets, And That's Just Fine
Rex Ryan just can’t help himself. He couldn’t help himself when he named the guy who broke Jets quarterback Geno Smith’s jaw one of the pregame captains, and he couldn’t help himself when he reacted like he’d just won the damn Super Bowl after beating the Jets, the team he coached for six years befo...

Geno Smith's Fine With The Guy Who Punched Him; Next Question
Bills coach Rex Ryan occasionally likes to choose game captains with an underlying message. Last Sunday, he picked three former Dolphins against Miami. This Thursday, I.K. Enemkpali—the former Jets linebacker who punched quarterback Geno Smith in the face over $600—will be a captain. Today, Smith sa...
Bills Fan's Moonsault Attempt Somehow Doesn't End In Disaster
The weather’s getting colder, but that won’t affect the Free Folk in Buffalo. They can survive the upcoming winter. As the leaves fall, so do the tables. This Bills fan embraced the changing of the seasons by performing a moonsault off a pickup truck bed. He actually pulled it off pretty well....

Once Again, Rex Ryan Trolled The Bills' Opponents With His Selection Of Captains
The Buffalo Bills play the Dolphins today in Buffalo. The two climatologically opposite teams have a rivalry, and the Bills are coached by jolly trickster Rex Ryan, so of course he did some pranking.

How Grantland Died
ESPN killed Grantland today. There were hints that this would happen, starting with the departure of Grantland founder Bill Simmons in May.

Sammy Watkins Is Sorry For Calling His Detractors Losers
Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins is injured, which means it’s time for unbalanced fans to go on Instagram and yell at him for not being tough and strong enough to play. Watkins got fed up with those comments this morning, and posted the now-deleted screed above to his Instagram account....
The Political Satire <i>Our Brand Is Crisis </i>Isn't Nearly As Sharp As It Pretends To Be
Our Brand Is Crisis means to cast a harsh light on presidential campaigns, but it mostly just panders.

Not Nearly As Many People Watched Bills/Jaguars As Yahoo Wants You To Believe
So, did you watch any of Bills/Jaguars, the first NFL game to be exclusively broadcast online? It was, by all accounts, a pretty good stream. But the popularity of the broadcast probably wasn’t anywhere near as high as Yahoo would like you to believe....
Bills Fans Continue War Against Furniture
The Bills were in London this Sunday, so there aren’t as many clips of them being foolish at tailgates. Thanks to our readers, however, we can fill that absence with videos of them breaking tables at previous games....
Rex Ryan Taunts Doug Marrone By Selecting Entire Offensive Line As Captains
Doug Marrone was the Buffalo Bills head coach for two seasons, including last year’s successful 9-7 campaign. He opted out of his contract last December to take advantage of a clause that allowed him to make $4 million dollars in 2015 no matter if he coached or not. He tried to get the New York Jets...
<i>Rock The Kasbah </i>Might Be Bill Murray's Worst Movie Ever
1. I love Bill Murray. You love Bill Murray. We all love Bill Murray. We love him on talk shows. We love him when he pops up in random places, doing random things.
