The Jets Sound Pathetic In Their Pursuit Of Dont'a Hightower

Jimmy Garoppolo Posts Goodbye To Patriots On Instagram, Although He Might Have Been Hacked
In the wee hours of the morning, on the second day of free agency, Patriots backup QB Jimmy Garoppolo’s Instagram announced that he’d be leaving New England. Could it be true?

These Englishmen are enjoying their first exposure to direct sunlight....
Adrian Peterson Is Thirsty
There are lots of good reasons not to sign Adrian Peterson. He’s coming off a season largely lost to a torn meniscus. Between injury and suspension, he’s only appeared in 20 games over the last three seasons. He’ll turn 32 years old this month. He...you know. And yet he’s trying his damndest to drum...

Keeper Gets Way Too Mad About Giving Up Goal
Even way down in the ninth tier of English soccer, players do not like to lose. Case in point: Cray Valley Paper Mills FC goalkeeper Jordan Carey’s reaction to this Ashford United goal:...
Newcastle Lucks Into Unbelievably Dumb Golazo
Sometimes you bang in a golazo by spinning through a box full of defenders and hitting the ball perfectly. Other times you just sort of stand there and let the ball hit you and it goes in anyway. Soccer is dumb like that. Case in point: this goal from Newcastle....
Italy Exploited An Insane Rugby Loophole, Enraging England<em></em>
Italy’s national rugby team has never beaten England. The Italians have played the English 23 times and they’ve lost 23 times. This weekend, England beat Italy, 36-15, in the Six Nations Championship, just as everyone expected they would. However, the unsurprising outcome of the game belies the cont...
Gronk Tries To Get 69 Out Of "Monster Girl," Fails
Rob Gronkowski is, for whatever reason, on Fox’s Daytona 500 coverage today, and he’s doing roughly what you’d expect him to be doing. Here he’s talking to a young woman identified as a “Monster girl,” and not quite getting the answer he was going for....

Chris Long Responds To Dummies Criticizing Him For Not Visiting The White House
Patriots defensive end Chris Long is one of the handful of players who have publicly stated that they will not be going on the Super Bowl champions’ customary trip to the White House.

Peter King Profiles Tom Brady, Who Drinks Salt And Smiles And Therefore Is A Genius
Of all the clichés of the hack celebrity profile, perhaps the most overdone is the one where the writer opens with an observation of the famous person’s eating or drinking behavior from across a table. You’ve encountered this countless times, I’m sure: the bombshell sex-symbol tearing lustily into a...
Tom Brady Is A Cockroach
Zoo Atlanta and Rhode Island’s Roger Williams Park Zoo made a cheesy Super Bowl bet, in which the losing zoo would have to name a baby animal after the winning team’s quarterback. Since the Patriots won, meet Tom Brady, a baby Madagascar hissing cockroach:...
Four More Patriots Plan To Skip White House Visit
Since New England Patriots Devin McCourty and Martellus Bennett voiced their intentions to skip a ceremonial visit to the White House, four more of their teammates have said they’ll also pass on the trip. Not all of them are doing it because of Donald Trump’s existence, however....
Let Us Now Praise The Patriots' Super Bowl Defense
Much of the blame for the Falcons’ monumental choke job in Super Bowl 51 fell on Kyle Shanahan for his aggressive play-calling, and that’s fair. It’s screamingly obvious Atlanta should have run the ball more or milked the clock to keep Tom Brady and the Patriots from even having a chance to storm al...
Mic'd-Up Julian Edelman Argued With Falcons Defender Over Whether He Caught That Ball
Even after all the replays and photos, it’s still hard to believe that Julian Edelman made that catch....
Austrian TV's Super Bowl Highlight Reel Is Much Better Than Anything Fox Produced
Super Bowl LI was an incredible game that featured a historic comeback and two of the greatest catches in Super Bowl history. But you might not get a sense of how bonkers the Patriots’ unholy comeback was from watching the limp highlight reel that FOX played at the end of the game. If you want the g...
Michael Floyd Overcomes DUI Arrest To Become A Super Bowl Champion
There are many different paths a player can take to get to a Super Bowl victory. Some, like Malcolm Butler and Tom Brady, start out as unknowns but turn into essential components.
