The Seahawks Warned The Cardinals About Carolina's Turf

Cliff "Uncle Spliffy" Robinson Is Opening A Weed Store In Portland
Oregon recently legalized weed, and the first stores catering to recreational users opened last October. You have to be 21 or older to buy, and they’re a tad restrictive on how much you can buy at one time, but it’s a rather relaxed experience. In Portland, you can get a pre-roll of decent quantity ...

Mike McCarthy Says Eddie Lacy Needs To Lose Weight
It was a bad year for Packers running back Eddie Lacy, who entered the season as a young, rising star and spent it battling through injuries, briefly losing his starting job due to ineffectiveness, briefly losing it again after missing a curfew, and setting career lows in carries, yards, and touchdo...

Josh Norman's Freelance Sack Was As Brilliant As It Was Ballsy
It’s hard to call any play made by a team that was up 31-0 at halftime and led through all four quarters a true “game-saver,” but there’s no denying that the Panthers were in need of a big play after the Seahawks’ successful fake punt late in the third quarter.
