Please Stop Using Baseball To Describe Football
A home run has never happened in a football game, and yet home runs can be found all over writing about the sport, mainly when it comes to transactions. A new coach is a “home-run hire.” Wow! A team “hit a home run” with its draft picks. Okay!...

Jalen Ramsey To Andrew Luck: Sike!<em></em>

If the vibe around the Washington football team’s camp these past few days felt a little too optimistic—filled with reports about how, actually, he wasn’t that much of a dropoff from Alex Smith—Thursday’s 31-23 loss against the Cowboys likely tempered any lofty expectations. Now sitting outside the ...

The Jets And Predators Are Brawling
Predators-Jets is the best sort of rivalry: one born almost solely from the fact that both teams are very good and each stands in the other’s way of the Central title, the West, and, perhaps ultimately, a Cup. And even though we’re months and months away from what we all hope is a playoff rematch of...
Colts Lineman Matt Slauson Played Almost An Entire Half With Two Broken Vertebrae
On Monday, the Indianapolis Colts placed starting guard Matt Slauson on injured reserve with an unspecified injury.

A Ridiculously Gutsy Fourth-Down Failure Gifted The Texans A Win Over The Colts
Look, I’m all for going for it on fourth down, and there’s a large part of me that has tremendous respect for Colts coach Frank Reich’s bold decision-making in overtime of Indy’s game against the Texans today.

However, Frank Reich s...
