Steven Jackson Bowls Over Josh Wilson Thanks To Secret Powerup
Most sports mavens considered Steven Jackson's career to be all-but over entering the 2013 season. (The last time we wrote about him here was nearly four years ago.)

Seattle Car Dealership Owes 12 People $35K Because Giants Got Shut Out
Eli Manning and the Giants are a terrible gag gift that keeps on giving. After their loss to the Seahawks yesterday, in which Eli threw five interceptions and New York was shut out at home for the first time in almost 20 years, a Seattle area car dealership has to pay out $420,000....

Why Didn't The Cowboys Just Run The Damn Ball?
When the pass-happy Cowboys offense works, it really works. And when it doesn't, like in yesterday's crushing come-from-ahead loss to the Packers that denied Dallas first place in the division, the failure tends toward the spectacular.

Tom Brady Blames Loss On "Shitty Plays" During Live Presser
After losing to the Dolphins, Tom Brady was a bit grumpy, talking about how the Patriots made some good plays, but also "plenty of shitty plays."
