A Map Of The Most Absurd Team-Name Migrations In Sports

Why Did Jamaal Charles Get Only Five Carries? Romeo Crennel Has No Idea.
Brady Quinn beat out Matt Cassel in the saddest quarterback competition ever—and then left the game with a concussion after going 2-for-4 for a single yard.

The Carolina Panthers Lost By Calling The Exact Same Defensive Coverage Over And Over

Randy McMichael Is The NFL's Most Impatient Player
Early in the fourth quarter of San Diego's eventual loss to the Browns, the Chargers offense (ineffectual for most of the day) managed to scrape together the ten yards necessary for a first down and keep a possible game-winning drive alive.
