Bills Fan Knocked Cold In Collision With Good Old Human Frailty

Nathan Peterman Was A Very Avoidable Disaster
The thing about The Nathan Peterman Game is that none of this now is hindsight.

Nathan Peterman Threw Five Picks On His First 14 Passes

Hosting An NFL Pregame Show Seems Like A Shitty Gig
Samantha Ponder replaced Chris Berman this year as host of Sunday NFL Countdown on ESPN, where she shares a set with Rex Ryan, Randy Moss, Matt Hasselbeck, and Charles Woodson, along with updates from Chris Mortensen, Adam Schefter, and Louis Riddick.
