Rex Ryan Was Fuckin' Pumped About Beating The Jets, And That's Just Fine
Rex Ryan just can’t help himself.

Brian Kelly Explains Why He Shoved One Of His Assistants

Enjoy The Matt Williams Farce While You Still Can
It is a testament to the Washington Nationals’ dysfunction that the dugout fight between Jonathan Papelbon and Bryce Harper almost made sense compared to everything that came after. A team’s for-hire closer trying to choke the league MVP is one thing, but it’s absolutely inexplicable that manager Ma...

Did Chip Kelly Outsmart Himself?
The Eagles are 0-2, and although it’s certainly unfair to write off a team after two games, you wouldn’t blame Eagles fans for looking at Chip Kelly with eyebrows raised as high as they’ll go. Is this—a completely dysfunctional squad that can’t be bothered to beat a Cowboys team down Tony Romo and D...

Jim Tomsula Should Be Your Favorite Coach
We made a lot of jokes at Jim Tomsula’s expense after the 49ers tabbed him as their new head coach, because he exudes an appearance that screams “cautionary tale,” (or perhaps “hardware salesman”) but here’s the truth: the man’s undefeated. With his win as an interim coach in 2010, and last night’s ...

Tim Beckman, My Man, What Are You Even Saying?

Kings GM Confirms Players Locked Darryl Sutter Out Of The Dressing Room
The prevailing analysis of why the Kings missed out on the playoffs is that they were simply physically exhausted, that so many deep postseason runs and shortened summers finally caught up to the team’s core. It’s a satisfying, unfalsifiable explanation, but the notion that this was a long, unhappy ...

Byron Scott Thinks Some Of His Players Would Frag Him
It has been a remarkable year of quotes from Lakers coach Byron Scott, who has vacillated between pure delusion and brutal honesty with his words.

So Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan said some sorta poor-sport-y stuff after his Badgers lost the NCAA championship game to Duke last night.
