LeSean McCoy Says Chip Kelly Doesn't Respect Star Players
It’s been two months since LeSean McCoy was traded from the Philadelphia Eagles to the Buffalo Bills in one of the more shocking NFL trades in recent memory.

Bill Simmons's New NBA Podcast Has The Same Theme Music As <i>The Starters</i>
Bill Simmons launched a new podcast this week called Bill Don't Lie (groan).

Did Bill Simmons Make A Fool Of Himself On <i>WWE Raw</i>?
Bill Simmons joined Snoop Dogg as a special guest on tonight's WWE Raw, and if that sounds like the dumbest thing in the world to you, you'd be right.

Bill Simmons Is A Name-Dropping Waste
So Bill Simmons offered a "sneak" preview today of the third part of his NBA Trade Value column.

Reports: LeSean McCoy "Not Happy" About Going To Buffalo
A truly shocking, star-for-star trade happens so rarely in the NFL. (Today is the 11th anniversary of Champ Bailey heading west for Clinton Portis!)

Rex Ryan Got A Giant Bills Logo Painted On His Truck
I will always find Rex Ryan's willingness to go full fanboy on whatever team he's coaching to be immensely charming. It was great when he got a picture of his wife wearing nothing but a Jets jersey tattooed on his arm, and it was great when he got that Jets jersey turned into a Bills one. So I am 10...
Bill Self Gets Crushed By Court-Stormers, Is Not Pleased
Unranked Kansas State knocked off the in-state rival Jayhawks at home last night, and that means it was time for a good old-fashioned court stormin'. Unfortunately for Kansas head coach Bill Self, the students who ran onto the court weren't too concerned with his well-being....

Rex Ryan Has Tattoo Of Wife Wearing Jets Jersey Darkened To Bills Blue

Rex Ryan Still Doesn't Mind Not Really Having A QB
After six seasons with the popgun Jets—four of those with muse Mark Sanchez—lots of folks were surprised that Rex Ryan took a job with the similarly quarterback-challenged Bills, rather than take over the Falcons and Matt Ryan. Asked specifically about it, Ryan says having a QB is NBD....
Bill Simmons Had Lena Dunham Back On His Podcast, And They Said Things
For the third time now, thought leader Lena Dunham joined multiplatform presence Bill Simmons on his podcast yesterday. It was a typically awkward and at times baffling example of audience cross-pollination between two people with little in common besides their love of their own voices. Dunham has...
Rex Ryan's Got His Swagger Back
Rex Ryan had his introductory press conference with the Buffalo Bills today, and if its tone was any indication of what Ryan's tenure as the Bills head coach is going to be like, we should all be very excited....
