New Video Shows Confrontation Between Odell Beckham Jr. And Bat-Carrying Panthers Player
It’s hard to know what to make of Batghazi—the claims, which were released to various reporters all at the same time, hinting they came from a Giants source, that Panthers players gestured toward Odell Beckham Jr. with baseball bats before the game in which Beckham completely lost his composure. Her...

Cam Newton Has Reached The Summit
You could see what the Giants were trying to do to Cam Newton on Sunday. From the very first play of the game, the plan was to blitz him as much as possible, get him on the ground, and try to knock him out of his rhythm. In some ways the plan, which has worked before, was a success—Newton was sacked...
Odell Beckham Jr. Should Have Been Ejected
Despite the headline, this isn’t a hot take. I’m not trying to convince you of anything. It’s a statement of fact, really: given Beckham’s increasingly violent tantrums, culminating in a legitimately dangerous after-the-whistle hit on Josh Norman, he had absolutely no business being in that football...

The Giants are getting the shit kicked out of them by the Panthers, who will almost certainly move to 13-1. Fans are apparently pissed off, and a few got into a fight in the bathroom of MetLife Stadium....
OBJ And The Panthers Cornerbacks Are Staging A Boxing Match In The Middle Of A Football Game
Odell Beckham Jr.’s matchup today with Josh Norman, perhaps the best corner in the game this year, is one of the coolest one-on-one matchups we’ve seen all year. On the Giants’ fourth play from scrimmage, Beckham burned Norman, and then dropped a perfectly good touchdown. A few plays later in the qu...
Retired Showboater Richard Dent Claims He'd Knock Cam Newton On His Ass For Celebrating
Every time an athlete gets excited about kicking ass at their job, you’ll hear the chorus of traditionalists and outsiders jawing about how no professional athletes should celebrate because of the hallowed sanctity of the game they play that makes billionaires richer. Cam Newton in particular is a ...
The Josh Norman-Rodney Harrison Beef Is So Excellent Right Now
Josh Norman just might be the best corner in football right now, and is certainly the most visible player on a fantastic defense that hasn’t let the Panthers lose a game yet. But former NFL safety and NBC analyst Rodney Harrison is not quite as impressed as Norman thinks he should be. The two have b...
Cam Newton, Goddamn
Cam Newton had another excellent game yesterday, tearing up the Falcons with an easy 265 yards and three touchdowns. The highlight of the day was the touchdown throw above, which only gets more ridiculous with each viewing....

Chowderhead ADs Bemoan How College Athletes Choose To Spend Their Own Money
Those in charge of college athletics attempting to exert incomparable levels of control over the athletes they barely pay is nothing new. But even by the very low standards by which athletics directors should be held, Alabama’s Bill Battle and North Carolina State’s Debbie Yow said some some dumb sh...

New Orleans Saints Score First Defensive Two-Point Conversion In NFL History
The Carolina Panthers scored a touchdown on a 5-yard Jonathan Stewart run, and thought they’d tied it up against New Orleans, but Kevin Williams got up and blocked Graham Gano’s extra point then Stephone Anthony took it back the other way. This is the first such two-pointer in NFL history after the ...
Blown Offside Call Robs UNC Of Chance To Force Overtime Against Clemson [UPDATE]
First things first: North Carolina’s chances of winning this game were very slim. They’d have a minute to go 50 yards, score a touchdown, and get the two-point conversion—and that would just be to tie. But that an officiating blunder stripped them of the opportunity for a stunning comeback is, given...
Security Guard Chokes Panthers Fan
The video above, taken at last week’s Panthers-Cowboys game, shows a Cowboys Stadium security staffer choking a Panthers fan....
North Carolina Football Player T.J. Jiles Arrested, Charged With Assault
North Carolina defensive back T.J. Jiles was arrested early this morning and charged with assaulting a bouncer outside of a downtown Raleigh club.

Cam Newton Snaps At Heckling Alabama Fan
Cam Newton is normally as cool as a cucumber (remember when he gleefully smiled his way through a training camp scuffle?), but he got a bit rattled here when an Alabama fan brought up the alleged pay for play scandal that engulfed Newton during his college career....
Cam Newton Might Be The Most Photogenic Athlete In The World
This has nothing to do with the latest controversy over Cam Newton’s dancing, which I’m sick of and would rather not get into. (This guy’s got opinions, though.) Instead, it’s just an observation: no one takes better pictures than Cam Newton....
