This week, in what will be a recurring feature of ill-defined frequency, I interview an honest-to-goodness Runner. Or at least a Runner as viewed through my hopelessly simplistic and insecure lens. We talk about how you should run (short answer: "a lot") and why (it's apparently a categorical impera...

Listed at 250 pounds, LeGarrette Blount is just a pound lighter than the Patriots' starting fullback, James Develin. He's not exactly a scatback. He's more of a supersized bowling ball over which someone had draped a jersey—a "north-south" runner, in scouting parlance, who in last night's 43-22 New ...
The Patriots Run All Over Colts, Advance To AFC Championship Game

Seahawks Beat Saints 23-15 Thanks In Part To Marques Colston's Stupidity

Colin Kaepernick At Hooters
A reader sends along this picture with only a subject that reads "Kaep at Hooters in Charlotte." Missing are the trademark chicken wings or human breasts, so it's hard to tell—though you do get an overall feeling of desperation—but it probably is a Hooters.

Do Colder NFL Games Have Fewer Penalties?
While watching some insanely frigid football last weekend, one Deadspinner wondered if there were fewer flags in cold NFL games, the result of referees deciding, consciously or not, to speed games up and get the hell off the field.
