Houston Hangs On To Beat The Broncos In Denver, In Two GIFs
Houston 31, Denver 25: The Houston offense stopped clicking weirdly right around the time Matt Schaub was almost decapitated. Might be something to keep an eye on. As a result, Peyton Manning was able to battle back and make this one kind of interesting, but it was not to be....
The Bills Beat The Browns And Everyone In The Press Box Survived, In One GIF
Today, the weather report for the neighborhood of Cleveland Browns Stadium said, "Rain is only occurring in a few spots."

The Broncos Will Sit Peyton Manning When They Need To Throw The Ball A Long Way
Broncos backup QB Brock Osweiler was getting loose on the sideline late in their loss to Atlanta.

Atlanta 27, Denver 21: The Game In Two GIFs
The officiating in this game was an absolute disaster. Just brutal. It was as if Drew's column earlier today sprouted legs and was playing out on our televisions.

For Your Consideration: A Man Wearing An Airbrushed T-Shirt With John Elway As Adolf Hitler
I'm not saying the guy is as bad as Hitler. That's definitely not what I'm saying. Hitler, we all know, was a real motherfucker. I'm just sayin', Elway? The guy's a dick, you know? And the fans? Do not get me started. Thinking they're so special with their mile high salute. Well how 'bout this salu...
Bengals 34, Browns 27: The Game In Two GIFs
Some primo running in this one—and actually some primo passing too, and generally good football playing all around. It's like Sean always says (this morning), "it's these god-awful looking games that become the most compelling." This one wasn't the most compelling, but if you like long runs to the e...

Last night Andy Murry and Novak Djokovic played a 4 hour, 54 minute match, tied for the longest U.S. Open men's final ever. It was a gem.

Everyone On Twitter Was Confused About Why Willis McGahee Didn't Say "The U" In His Player Intro Last Night
During Sunday Night Football, something weird happened. It wasn't that the quarterback with the misbehaving cervical vertebrae threw for 253 yards with two touchdowns and only seven incompletions, and it wasn't that the Steelers still hadn't learned how to cover Demaryius Thomas. Both of those eve...

On Monday, Browns reporter Tony Grossi told us that the NFL had asked every team in the league to have a moment of silence for Art Modell, one of the main antagonists in the long drama of Cleveland's histrionic sports decrepitude.

Deadspin's Sign of the Apocalypse
It was with no small degree of concern that Deadspin noted the lack of a Sign of the Apocalypse in this week's Sports Illustrated. Until August, the magazine had been chronicling the demise of Western civilization via sports news of the weird at least as far back as 1993, when it noted that "David C...
