Don't Blame The Vikings For Trying, Blame Them For Failing
If you believe in moral victories, the young, upswinging Vikings hung tough with one of the NFL’s best teams, were thisclose to tying the game in the final seconds, and QB Teddy Bridgewater bounced back to have one of his sharper games as pro.

The 2015 Hater’s Guide To The Williams-Sonoma Catalog
I have terrible news for you, America. I know that you’ve already endured a harsh autumn of partisan politics and mass tragedies and inconsistent NFL officiating.

Even NFL Trash Talking Has Its Limits
Just before halftime of the Jets’ 23-20 OT win over the Giants, WR Brandon Marshall got into it with DT Cullen Jenkins.

What Was Bill Belichick Thinking?
If the season ended today, the Patriots would have to play (against the Jets!) on wild-card weekend. It’s a quick turnaround for a team, that just two games ago, had its sights set on another perfect regular season. But life comes at you fast, and if it’s entirely normal that New England would strug...
Grizzlies Beat Suns On Buzzer-Beating Reverse Alley-Oop

Tom Brady Has Nobody Left To Throw To
After Rob Gronkowski left Sunday’s game against the Broncos with a late leg injury, Tom Brady threw passes to a 30-year-old backup who was very clear about that role, a rookie with more lost fumbles than NFL receptions, Brandon LaFell, and a backup running back with 22 career carries. It didn’t go w...
