Recruit Who Tweeted Stuff Like "The Teacher Tells Me When A Girls Squirts That’s Not A Organism" Commits To Colorado
Looks like things worked out for Yuri Wright. The 85th-best recruit in the nation, according to Rivals.com, Wright had been kicked out of Don Bosco Prep (N.J.) last week after his cornucopia of racist, sexist, sexually graphic, and language-mangling tweets became known to the wider world. Michigan,...
Ryan Miller: "Nope."
Yeah, it's late, but holy crap did you see the save Ryan Miller laid on Tanner Glass last night? Glass is all like "that's going in" and the Jets are like "yeah!" but Miller is like "oh hell no" and flings that thing out of there, presumably accompanied by a whip-crack sound effect, and Jason Pomi...
Some Guy Got A Giant Tattoo Of Stevie Johnson's Head On His Arm
Johnson, the Bills wide receiver who was benched over the weekend, did this not so long ago. He still wound up with 1007 yards on the year. And now he tweeted a photo of the dude's tattoo. Everything about this is so dispiriting I don't know whom I should call classless. [@StevieJohnson13, via Sport...
Drayton Florence Saved The Best For Last In Earning NFL Flop Of The Season Honors
Bills cornerback Drayton Florence has made a career out of his tough-guy image (just ask Mark Sanchez) but the stunt he pulled Sunday against the New England Patriots puts him firmly in Italian soccer star territory. It was less a flop or dive and more of a hurl—a leaping, falling charade of nonse...
Buffalo Schoolteachers Charged With Humping In The Bathroom At This Weekend's Bills Game
Making sex in the bathroom is never the brightest nor most hygienic idea, to say nothing of the typical stall conditions at an NFL stadium used by 70,000 people. That goes for fucking on the floor of the pristine new Cowboys Stadium, and it definitely goes for whatever two grade school teachers were...
One Jet Thinks Stevie Johnson's "Airplane" TD Celebration Was A 9/11 Reference
You thought Bob Costas was stupid? You clearly didn't know how stupid human beings could get when discussing end zone celebrations. That apotheosis belongs to Jets tackle Sione Pouha, who's convinced that Stevie Johnson was out to mock the death of thousands....
Stevie Johnson Beats Revis, Makes Touchdown Catch, Mocks Plax In TD Celebration
Stevie Johnson, who one presumes has yet to forget being forsaken by God, trolled the Jets hard after getting clearance from Darrelle Revis to catch a touchdown pass from Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick—first pantomiming a Plaxico Burress club self-shooting, then performing the airplane... that crashed....
Sabres Owner Says Penn State Scandal Is "Not About Covering Your Ass" Before Covering His Ass About Hiring Second Mile Board Member
You might wonder what Terry Pegula, the owner of the Buffalo Sabres, has to do with the Jerry Sandusky investigation. More than Terry Pegula would like you to believe. Pegula, who gave $88 million to Penn State last year to build a hockey arena and start a D1 hockey program, was in the news recently...
The Miami Dolphins Offense Drops 28 On The Bills In The First Half
This is not a season highlights package. This is a first-half-against-the-bills highlights package. This is noteworthy because the Dolphins have scored over 28 points only once this year. They put up 31 against the Kansas City Chiefs two weeks ago. It looks like that poor kid may have been wrong....
Buffalo's David Nelson Scores Touchdown, Gives Ball To Cowboys Cheerleader Girlfriend
You might have read this week about Kelsi Reich, Cowboys cheerleader and longtime girlfriend of Bills receiver David Nelson. So of course when Nelson caught a touchdown pass in the first half of Buffalo's matchup with Dallas today, he sprinted to the other side of the field in order to give her t...
When Bills WR David Nelson Plays The Cowboys This Afternoon, His Cheerleader Girlfriend Will Be Torn
Kelsi Reich, pictured above, is a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. A pretty classic looking Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, for that matter. David Nelson is a wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills. You see where this is going. Our generation's Romeo and Juliet, no?...
The Jets-Bills Game, In One Flinching Sanchez And One Steamrolled Bison
Mark Sanchez is not a wide receiver. He is a quarterback, a celebrity, a franchise, a patron of the arts, a deviant, and a pitchman, but he's not a wide receiver. So when he lined up wide in the wildcat (and as for why the Jets were running the wildcat up 16 with three minutes left, your guess is ...
At 2:16 This Afternoon, John Beck Got Sacked Again
That's when the NFL sent out their weekly stat corrections, upping the number of times the Bills brought down Beck to 10. Nick Barnett and Danny Batten share credit....
20 Things Angry Buffalo Fans Wrote To A Female Sports Columnist Who Criticized The Bills
Last week, Jennifer Gish—a sportswriter who is a woman—wrote a column for the Albany Times Union that questioned "whether the Bills faithful had a right to demand respect after a 2-0 start." After it was published, some Bills fans wrote to Gish. Here is what they told her (I've taken out the newspap...

That Astonishing Raiders-Bills Game Had Its <i>Heidi</i> Moment
Raise your hand if you thought Oakland and Buffalo would put on the most entertaining game of the week, and then put your hand down, you liar. But parity, and unpredictability, and any given Sunday and all that, and there it was: a high-scoring, relatively clean thriller with two teams looking to ...
