Tim Tebow Played Injured. Get Used To It.
On a play early in the second half, Tebow was hit just after releasing a pass. He suffered torn rib cartilage, a bruised lung, and fluid buildup in his chest.

Man Agrees To Drink An Entire Bottle Of Tabasco If Tebow Loses To The Patriots, Pukes
Amateur cinematography aside, this is an oddly compelling watch. Textbook storytelling, actually. The tension slowly builds—A hero's quest, will he actually do it?

Tom Brady's Punt Finally Brought Some Life To The Broncos Defense, If By Life You Mean Punches
Blame Von Miller for this dirty hit that is an unfortunate coda to his otherwise spectacular season.

Josh McDaniels Is Back With The Patriots
The Patriots are going to need an offensive coordinator next year since the chinhole-y Bill O'Brien will be leaving for Penn State. Rather than wait to fill that void, the Patriots will reportedly welcome the asshole-y Josh McDaniels back into the fold....
Liverpool: Still A Bit Racist
Did Anfield learn nothing from Luis Suarez's ban? Two Liverpool supporters (both wearing Suarez jerseys) yelled racial taunts at Oldham's Tom Adeyemi during today's FA Cup match.

Elvis Dumervil Made Tom Brady Fear For His Life
Sure, the Patriots throttled the Broncos 41-23. But New England's victory didn't come at the expense of a little of Tom Brady's machismo, as the horrified look in his eyes upon this sack by Elvis Dumervil was more apropos for someone who wears Uggs. Which, I guess, means it's apropos—period. ...

As a kicker, the reporter asked the pair what they want for Chri...
Here's Tom Brady's Bitchfest With An Assistant Coach
Up a touchdown late in the Patriots' battle in Washington, Tom Brady threw an interception in the Redskins' end zone then threw a tantrum on his own sideline with New England assistant coach Bill O'Brien.

Just Gronk Bein' Gronk
Rob Gronkowski set the NFL season record for TD catches by a tight end today with his 14th grab, but it was set up by this remarkable play in which the porn star-loving Patriot managed to stay on his feet long enough to turn a short gain into a... longer one. [CBS]...
