Where Is Jimmy Graham?
When the Seahawks traded starting center Max Unger and a first-round pick for superstar pass-catching tight end Jimmy Graham, it was easy to imagine him adding some much-needed juice to the Seahawks’ air attack. But we’re four weeks into the season now, and Graham has been all but invisible....
The Elmore Leonard Starter Kit
One of the coolest things about Elmore Leonard’s crime fiction is that he didn’t get to it until he was close to 50 years old and had been a professional writer for more than 20. His books pared away anything unnecessary with the ruthless good cheer of a steely veteran with little patience for wasti...
Michael Bennett Crashes Postgame Interview To Demand Kam Chancellor Be Paid
Since returning from his holdout, Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor hasn’t done anything but lead an outright destruction of the Chicago Bears and save his teammates’ asses with one of the more brilliant individual efforts you’ll ever see on a defensive play. In other words, it’s been a good two weeks ...
Cleancast: Seriously, Stop Swiffering
On this episode of the official Ask a Clean Person podcast, Adam Clark Estes of Gizmodo joined me to talk about our mutual hatred of those blasted Swiffers. Back in July, Adam wrote a wonderful post entitled “Stop Swiffering,” so I asked him to come hang out in the studio to talk some trash about yo...

The Seahawks Know They Got Away With One
Now that we’ve had a night to sleep on the Seahawks’ controversial 13-10 win over the Lions, sealed by an uncalled “illegal bat,” let’s try to process what we saw—even as the NFL figures out what it can do to fix a very bad rule....
Seahawks Beat Lions After Referees Miss Easy Illegal Batting Call
Down 13-10 with just under two minutes left against the Seahawks Monday night, Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford dropped back from the Seattle 11 and found an open Calvin Johnson.

Bills Fan Spices Up Halftime With Mysterious White Powder
Okay, we’re calling it: Bills fans are officially the most bonkers fans in the NFL. As evidence, here’s a photo sent to us by a tipster at Sunday’s Giants-Bills game. Say, what’s that white powder in that guy’s dollar bill?...
Bills Fans Engage In A Casual, Friendly Slap Fight
Bills fans are fascinating because their behavior at games and tailgates surpasses that of the normal NFL fan. This video, sent in by a reader, is the perfect example of that. ...
Alexis Sánchez And Mesut Özil Are Better Than Everyone
It’s telling that, as impressive as the sheer all-encompassing nature of Arsenal’s domination of Manchester United this weekend, what was even more stunning was the shock of it all....
Look! Up In The Sky! It's A Bird ... It's A Plane ... No, It's Soccer Man!
We can’t feel too bad for this Argentine soccer fan who, apparently in an effort to see if he really was Superman, lept (fell?) from the top of the stadium’s wire fence. After all, how can you truly know flying is impossible if you never try?...
Martellus Bennett Has The Quote Of The Year About Jay Cutler
Jay Cutler returned from a strained hamstring to tough out a close win over the Raiders. Coming off last week’s debacle in Seattle, it’s almost enough to make the average Bears fan thankful for a competent quarterback. Almost. But hey, talk radio would’ve savaged Jesus too. Right, Martellus Bennett?...
DeMarco Murray Wants The Damn Ball
Whatever the Eagles’ plan, it’s not working. They’re 1-3 now, smack dab in last place in a weak NFC East after a backbreaking 23-20 loss at Washington. And all along, Chip Kelly has shunted the blame to his players: it’s about “executing,” he’s said since the beginning, not his system. RB DeMarco Mu...

José Mourinho's Self-Regard Grows In Inverse Proportion To Chelsea's Record
Hey remember when David Moyes coached United for a year, everyone agreed it was an unmitigated disaster, and it became the standard by which to measure all EPL meltdowns? José Mourinho, the little tyrant man who will probably get fired from the USMNT someday, and Chelsea have started this season thr...
UCLA's Kicker Inadvertently Tackling A Guy With His Helmet, In Extreme Slow Motion
UCLA kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn got blown up while serving as the Bruins’ last chance to stop a Tim White kick return. But Arizona State didn’t take the kick to the house, because Fairbairn’s helmet brought White down. It’s Pac-12 after dark, at least on the east coast....
