Police Reportedly Determine That Aqib Talib Shot Himself In The Leg

Early this summer, Aqib Talib was shot in the leg and briefly went to the hospital. Initial reports had him as a victim in a shooting at a Dallas strip club, but he maintained that he was shot in the leg at a park later that evening, saying that he was too drunk to know who shot him....

Why Does Anyone Care What Athletes Have To Say About Politics?

So LeBron James has offered his “endorsement”—since the traditional newspaper endorsement has lost whatever influence it ever had, it doesn’t seem too ridiculous to use the word to describe political support given by a guy who throws leather balls against the ground for a living—of Hillary Clinton f...

Lax Bros Break Tie With Rowdy Game Of Rock, Paper, Scissors

A lacrosse scrimmage between the Dayton and Western Michigan club teams was called off due to lightning on Saturday. The score was tied when the cancellation happened, and if there’s anything a lax bro hates, it’s a game ending in a tie. Fortunately, the Dayton and Western Michigan players were able...

The Broncos' Defense Is Still Scary Good

There was a moment yesterday when it looked like Jameis Winston and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense might be ready to give the Denver Broncos a game. After throwing a pick to Aqib Talib on the opening drive that set the Broncos up with an early 7-0 lead, Winston and the Bucs responded with a 13-pla...

The Browns Lost A Phantom Fumble

The frustrating thing about these Browns is that they’re almost not bad. Now 0-4 after Sunday’s 31-21 loss to Washington, they didn’t become the NFL’s only remaining winless team the usual way, by being that much worse than everyone else. No, this team has required truly creative ways to lose, like ...

No, Josh Gordon Did Not Get Caught With A Pound Of Weed At The Airport

Last night, Scout.com reported that Josh Gordon got popped trying to bring a pound of weed onto a flight from Cleveland to L.A., and that the smuggling incident is what prompted him to check into rehab. Here’s the extremely strange crux of the supposed incident, which happened after Gordon made his ...

Josh Gordon Is Headed To Rehab

Antonio Brown Says Refs Threatened To Eject Him For Wearing Cool Shoes

Steelers receiver Antonio Brown has long been one of the few NFL players willing to thumb his nose (or butt, rather) at the NFL’s joy-killing rules against self expression. It seems like the league has finally had enough of Brown daring to have a good time while playing football, though, as he claim...

LeBron James On Police Violence: "It's A Scary-Ass Situation"

This afternoon at Cavaliers media day, LeBron James spoke for a good 90 seconds on police violence, framing the issue around the hypothetical of the police pulling his son over....

How Deep Does The Browns' Kicking Disaster Go?

As with all things Browns, failure is not enough by itself. It can never be simple. It must always be exquisite, and multipronged, and avoidable. The Cody Parkey saga, which saw Cleveland’s new kicker miss three field goals including a potential game-winner as time expired, is a great example....

Lone Bright Spot For The Browns Injured Too

The Cleveland Browns, an alleged NFL team, are so thoroughly screwed. Part of this is by design. Part of this is because they’ve suffered a horrific stretch of injuries. RG3 (few people’s idea of a savior) hurt his shoulder, his backup hurt his shoulder, and now the team has to start a rookie next w...

USC Is Already A Mess

This past weekend, USC got stomped out by Stanford. That such a development is barely a blip on the radar is, as others have pointed out, alarming in an of itself from the USC perspective, and already first-year head coach Clay Helton appears to be cracking under the pressure....

Report: The Browns Fired A Bunch Of Scouts Who Liked Carson Wentz

I do not know what the future holds for the careers of Jared Goff, Carson Wentz, or the buttload of draft picks the Browns received from Philadelphia for the rights to Wentz. I only know that Cleveland could desperately use a quarterback now and going forward, and that the Eagles firmly believe they...

The Browns Wanted To Suck, And The Injury Gods Have Obliged Them

The Cleveland Browns went into this season tanking about as openly as you’ll ever see in the NFL. With the front office now controlled by Ivy Leaguers, the Browns spent the offseason stockpiling draft picks—they drafted 14 players in June, all of whom made the 53-man roster, and have another dozen-p...
