Somehow this loss is all Antonio Pierce's fault. But even though the Giants were pushed around by the revitalized Iggles, they were still NFC East champions at the end of the day.

Deadspin Deleted Scenes: The One With Sean Avery's Dildo Problem

In case you hadn't heard, Sean Avery's suspension has been downgraded from "forever" to six games—including two already served—meaning Elisha Cuthbert's honor should be safe for the next two weeks or so.

Deadspin Reader Heroically Attends Screening Of Ryan Leaf Movie
