You Survived At NFL Network By Staying Silent

On my first day at NFL Media I signed paperwork promising that I wouldn’t harass players for autographs.

Could Santa Claus Defeat Godzilla?<em></em>

I got more Star Wars takes before we get into your letters. Don’t worry, I’m not gonna spoil anything, but I watched The Force Awakens a couple times after seeing the new movie and the difference in dialogue is night and day, man. Everyone in TFA had better lines than they do in The Last Jedi. Take ...

On Friday afternoon, I received a particularly surprising DM from someone whose information is normally solid, if not always reportable.

NFL Official Eats It; Bucs Lose

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost 24-21 to the Atlanta Falcons tonight when Patrick Murray missed a possible game-tying 54-yard field goal as time expired.

Bucs LB Adarius Glanton Carted Off After Gross Leg Break [Graphic]

The Buccaneers have lost player after player to injuries tonight, and the unlucky victim of the worst-looking one was linebacker Adarius Glanton. While blitzing Matt Ryan, Glanton collided with Robert Ayers and appeared to break his left leg falling to the ground....

Everything About The <i>Telegraph</i>'s Justin Gatlin Investigation Is Nuts

American sprinting star Justin Gatlin has five Olympic medals (including one gold), the fifth-fastest 100-meter time ever, the honor of beating Usain Bolt in his farewell race, and yet he’s still far more famous for his various doping bans than what he’s achieved on the track. Gatlin has been embroi...

Here Are The Most George Lucas-Ass Names In The NFL

For all the things that he has gotten wrong in his career as a mythmaker and world-builder and filmmaker and Extremely Satisfied-Seeming Beard-Haver, George Lucas has gotten the big things right. He’s seemingly constantly borne aloft on a cloud of oblivious self-regard, but also he created Star Wa...

Austrian Hockey Fight Breaks Out During Intermission Interview

Tom Zanoski of Medveščak Zagreb in the Austrian Hockey League really didn’t want to talk about how that first period went. Or, anyway, he didn’t want to do it as much as he wanted to start throwing punches. Despite a TV reporter politely tapping Zanoski on the shoulder during the first intermission ...

Tom Brady Sidesteps Question About Whether His Quack Guru And Belichick Have Beef

The scuttlebutt around the Patriots, per recent media reports, is that Bill Belichick isn’t too fond of Tom Brady’s quack personal trainer and business partner, Alex Guerrero.

Bobby Wagner To Teammate Earl Thomas: "Keep My Name Out Yo Mouth"

The Seahawks were liquified by the Rams yesterday, surrendering 42 points and 352 total yards. They had a particularly tough time stopping Todd Gurley, who went for 144 yards and three touchdowns in the first half.

The Steelers' Final Play Was A Real Mess

The Steelers’ final offensive play in their 27-24 loss to New England was exactly as chaotic as it looked. Normally, that’d be a good thing on a fake spike—you want to confuse the defense. But it would’ve been better for Pittsburgh if more than two Steelers knew what was going on. That’s right: The ...
