Conan Channels Cam Newton During Post-Joke Press Conference
Congratulations to Conan O’Brien, who managed to take the hot-take superfund site that was Cam Newton’s press conference and make it a set-up for a very enjoyable bit. I promise, this won’t annoy you at all!...
Aqib Talib Admits He Tried To Rip Corey Brown's Head Off On Purpose
It was a sloppy Super Bowl, sure, but it wasn’t a dirty one save for one play early in the second quarter, when Denver CB Aqib Talib grabbed hold of Carolina WR Corey Brown’s facemask and wrenched it as he rode Brown out of bounds, twisting like there was candy inside that could only be freed by pop...
USWNT Players Association Files Withering Response To U.S. Soccer Lawsuit
U.S. Soccer’s lawsuit against the U.S. Women’s National Team Players Association seeks to answer a seemingly simple question: Do the two organizations have a valid collective bargaining agreement, or not?...
Hey How'd Your Fantasy Puppy Bowl Team Do? Mine Was Mostly Useless Garbage Dogs.
My cool team of puppies turned out to be a team of Star and two total losers. Despite high hopes for my fantasy Puppy Bowl team, Countess scored a measly field goal (I’m not totally sure how a dog does that) and Gryffin didn’t even see the field, perhaps being busted during Puppy Bowl Week for solic...
Seahawks Defensive End Frank Clark On Cam Newton: "That Boy A Bitch"
Seahawks rookie defensive end Frank Clark, whose team lost to the Panthers in this year’s divisional round, has some thoughts about Cam Newton:...
After 38 Seasons, Wade Phillips Is A Guy With A Super Bowl Ring
Between Cam Newton’s unraveling and Peyton Manning’s brand smooching, you might be having a hard time finding something to be unabashedly happy about in the wake of Super Bowl 50. Allow me to submit Broncos defensive coordinator Wade Phillips as a target for adulation....
Bougie Food Review: Sipping Chocolate
One of the ongoing subplots of my adulthood is the daily realization that I am simply the product of my parents. Despite living on the opposite coast and not seeing them nearly enough, they are very present in the daily mundanities of my life. My mom used to drive me insane when insisting the dishwa...
St. Louis Lawyer Buys Super Bowl Ad To Tell Stan Kroenke To Get Fucked
I put out a call during last night’s Super Bowl local ad break for the best and worst of your local markets, and got replies ranging from axe-murderer Joe Jacoby to HVAC-shilling Mike Tyson to an ad in Omaha for a male enhancement doctor who will make your dong so powerful it will leave your partner...
Nobody Much Likes Losing
Here are some opinions a reasonable person can hold, simultaneously and without friction:...
Peyton Manning Can Eat Shit
In some parallel universe, the end of Super Bowl 50 is a heartwarming affair, with an aging legend riding the coattails of a young, brilliant defense to one last title … one glorious final run that ends with a gimpy old man sitting atop the shoulders of his teammates and being carried off into the s...
Did Cam Newton Leave His Press Conference Because He Could Hear Chris Harris Jr. Bragging?
Here’s a simultaneously hilarious and tragic bit of video that might throw a few kinks into everyone’s Cam Newton takes:...
Cam Fucking Blew It
If you hate Cam Newton, then yesterday was your Christmas because, in the span of roughly four hours, the Broncos defense systemically took apart Newton’s offense, his season, and his reputation. I spent the entire fourth quarter of that game expecting to Newton rediscover his mojo and make the game...
Thomas Davis's Surgically Repaired Arm Looked Like A Football
Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis, who tore his ACLs on three separate occasions in his NFL career, was already known for his resiliency. So, when Davis broke his right arm in the NFC championship game, had surgery, and vowed to play in the Super Bowl, his promise was taken seriously....
The First Person Peyton Manning Wanted To Kiss After Winning The Super Bowl Was Papa John
We noted last night that pretend-folksy pitchman Peyton Manning knows who butters his bread, but in case anyone missed it in the madness following Denver’s Super Bowl win we’ll highlight it here: while Cam Newton waited at midfield to offer what appeared to be gracious congratulations, Manning took ...
Cam Newton Was Not In The Mood To Talk
It’s fitting, maybe expected, maybe even inevitable that a player as defined by his personality and his image as Cam Newton will end up be questioned just as much for his words as for his actions. It’s not unfair either. For as understandable as Cam Newton’s terse, depressive press conference may ha...
Cam Newton Wanted No Part Of That Game-Sealing Fumble
It was not a particularly thrilling game, occasionally a sloppy one, but that doesn’t mean the Super Bowl wasn’t good, not if you appreciate work on both sides of the ball. There is something uniquely enjoyable about watching an all-time defense successfully crack an elite offense, or a pass rush so...
Peyton Manning Endorses Beer, Again, But What Does It Mean?
Roger Goodell banned NFL players from endorsing alcohol products almost a decade ago, so hearing Peyton Manning speak proudly of his thirst for a third-rate Belgian lager after winning tonight’s Super Bowl might have raised your eyebrows. But it’s not even the first time Peyton Manning has mentioned...
Gary Kubiak Was Actually The Third Person To Win The Super Bowl Coaching The Same Team He Played For
At least twice during the Super Bowl broadcast, Jim Nantz relayed an interesting fact to the audience: With Denver’s win, head coach Gary Kubiak—who backed up John Elway for nine seasons—became the first person to ever win the Super Bowl as a head coach for the same team he played for....
The Broncos' Terrifying Defense Won The Super Bowl
Did Denver have a tremendous amount of faith in its defense? Did Denver have absolutely no faith in Peyton Manning? Chicken-and-egg, but either way it worked, and Denver won Super Bowl 50, 24-10....
Here's Jonathan Stewart's Superman TD In High-Res
The Panthers clawed back to within three points of the Broncos with this second quarter dive over the lines by Jonathan Stewart. With the hundreds of photographers in the stadium keyed up for a goal line touchdown, we got a ton of cool angles of Stewart’s touchdown. ...
