Your NFL Week 5 Viewing Maps
There's not a lot that stands out on the NFL's early Sunday afternoon schedule this week, save for maybe the duel between the 3-1 teams from Texas.

It's an early-fall cornucopia of college football delight today, with four ‒ four! ‒ games featuring two top-15 teams, and an undercard featuring two more games between two top-25 teams.

Antrel Rolle: Prince Amukamara Is Good Now Because He's Gettin' Laid
Giants cornerback Prince Amukamara was a first-round pick in the 2011 draft, and hasn't exactly lived up to the high expectations that were set for him in the three years since. But so far this season, Amukamara has been playing well—he's got two picks and seven passes defended through the first fou...
Report: Aaron Dobson Benched After He "Mouthed Off" To Josh McDaniels
The fact that second-year WR Aaron Dobson has suited up just once this season is extra-weird in light of the Patriots being woefully short on receivers. A Boston Globe report today may answer that question; it says Dobson has been benched the last two weeks because he's run afoul of offensive coordi...
Bill Belichick Really Just Wants To Talk About Cincinnati
Bill Belichick was in excellent press-conference form two days after the Chiefs demolished the Patriots.

ESPN's Andrew Brandt Really Needs A New Twitter Joke
A thing that happens quite often on Twitter is that people will tweet out pictures of strange foods, usually because those foods are grotesque in size or construction, and thus there is a need to gawk at them.

Don't Ask Bill Belichick If It's Time To Think About His Quarterbacks
The Patriots were bad, bad, bad last night, getting beaten soundly on both sides of the ball in a 41-14 road thumping at the hands of the Chiefs.
