Tony Romo Hobbled By Huge Bobby Wagner Hit

Jags' Winless Season Remains Intact After Last-Second Blocked FG
It was almost a sad and beautiful comeback against a team nearly as feeble as they are, but it was ruined by someone's big stupid paw knocking down a long, last-second field goal attempt. ...
Who Was Responsible For The Herschel Walker Trade?
It was 25 years ago today that the Cowboys traded superstar running back Herschel Walker to the Vikings for a mess of players and picks, a number of whom would be crucial pieces in Dallas's '90s dynasty.

DeMarco Murray Has Been The NFL's Best Running Back. Can He Keep It Up?
Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray is dominating the NFL right now, leading the league with 670 yards in five games, 210 more than the next guy, Le'Veon Bell.

Boxer Gets Punched In The Dick So Hard He Can't Continue, Loses Fight

Can The Chicago Marathon Get Back In The World-Record Game?
Man, it's rough work to make a world record happen in the marathon. Dennis Kimetto's freshly minted 2:02:57 took a whopping 26 seconds off the previous mark, but think about it—that relatively large improvement works out to a blink per mile, one step in a pothole, a hamstring twinge, a gust of wind....

Beats By Dre Banned From The Heads Of NFL Players
Bose is now "the official sound of the NFL," apparently replacing the confused whimpers of retired defensive tackles with CTE.
