The Carolina Panthers Lost By Calling The Exact Same Defensive Coverage Over And Over
Last week, the Giants were able to beat the Redskins by recognizing the coverage.

But even that was cutti...

Report: Carlton Fisk Was Arrested On Suspicion Of DUI In The Middle Of A Corn Field
Every October baseball marvels at itself and its history.

That happened 37 years ago Sunday. This, from Monday, report...

Patrick Kane's New Swiss Hockey Team Has Heard Some Things About How He Acts Off The Ice

Ndamukong Suh Tried To Break Jay Cutler: Detroit-Chicago, In A GIF
Chicago 13, Detroit 7: This unnecessarily vicious hit notwithstanding, the Lions got steamrolled by the Bears, to the extent that a team can get steamrolled in a 13-7 game. It was one of those "defensive battles," I suppose....

Your Monday Night Football Open Thread
Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears (ESPN): The Bears are coming off an inconveniently scheduled bye week this year. Two weeks ago, they destroyed the Jacksonville Jaguars 41-3, after smoking the Cowboys (34-18) and the Rams (23-6) the previous two weeks. They were rolling, man! And then they had to hit ...

The Air-Humping Chicago Bears Assistant Coach Is Really Gross [UPDATE: The Air-Humper Has Been Identified]
Gross. That is really gross, dude. You're way too old to be doing stuff like this. I'm sure the "Hey loogit me y'all, I'm humpin' air.

"What Do You Want Me To Do—Tell You How Bad My Life Is, How Shitty It Is?": Adam Greenberg's Journey Back To The Majors

Last week, he signed a one-day contract with the Marlins and got his second career at-bat to a standing ovation in Miami last night. He s...


Rob Ryan Is Kind Of Pissed
The Bears smacked around the Cowboys tonight 34-18, a score that sounds even worse when you remember the Bears gave up a garbage touchdown to Jason Witten in the final half minute of play. Brandon Marshall had a big game on the field and on the broadcast. He wound up with 138 yards and one touchdow...

Your Monday Night Football Open Thread

Warren Sapp Called Brandon Marshall A "Retard," So Marshall Filmed Two Video Responses, Sideways, While Driving
On his radio show last week, Dan Patrick baited Warren Sapp into saying some dumb stuff about "kids these days"—how about Cam Newton celebrating a touchdown when his team is losing?! What a glory boy!—and Sapp took the bait, hook, line and sinker: not only did he incomprehensibly declare, "These kid...

The Bears Were less Offensively Inept Than The Rams, In One GIF
