It's The AFC East Pants Party
OK, it appears we are finally back. Boy, it's been a fun day to work for Gawker Media; it was extremely enjoyable to have people tell us what was happening on our site, since we couldn't see it and couldn't update it. Awesome. Anyway, to the AFC! Hard to imagine anyone other than the ole' Patriots...

Can One Courageous Squirrel Make A Difference In The NL Central?
When St. Louis Cardinals fans look back to identify the turning point in the 2007 season, they need go no further than Tuesday night. That's when one brave squirrel dared to make a difference, turning defeat into victory and giving wavering Busch Stadium fans a rallying point for this year, and all ...

The Picturesque Word Stylings Of Darco Milicic
Sure, I took Serbian in high school — who didn't? — but it's really rusty. So let's leave it to AOL Fanhouse to translate the worst bit of this Darco Milicic tirade against the refs following Serbia's loss to Greece in the European championships. Fanhouse surmises that one of the lines is:...

It's The NFC South Pants Party
To the NFC South! We don't want to speak out of turn here, but we think the NFC South might be our least favorite division in football. There's the Saints — that's Kenny Chesney in that picture, of course — and then ... ugh....

The Fantasy Assassins
Considering most of you — unless you happened to draft using Yahoo's fantasy game last night — have already held your fantasy football drafts, you are, today, in the lone moment over the next three months when you won't be tinkering with your team. Right now, you are strong; your team is awesome! An...

Bill Belichick Ruins Yet Another Family
Danny Baugher dreamed of being a punter. He went to the University of Arizona, and signed late last year to the Patriots' practice squad. Big hopes, big dreams, this kid. Booming leg. Ten cent head. But just a strugglin' kid, hoping to catch a break. And then Bill Belichick sent him down the spiral ...

It's The NFC North Pants Party
OK, now it's time for the NFC Central North. We haven't seen anybody pick anybody other than the Bears yet. We suspect it won't be much different here....

Notes On A Scandal
Time to officially remove the mallet from its handsome leather case, striking the silver gong and calling bullshit on this ... but it could be true, I guess. Some dude is claiming that he has Michael Vick's crib notes from his recent apology, and is selling them on eBay. Bidding is up to $2,000, so ...

It's The NFC East Pants Party
Considering the NFL season starts tomorrow, we figured it was probably time to stop dawdling and start previewing. You've seen all our NFL Season Previews — except for Dallas, which we're told is coming — and now it's time to go division-by-division. And do our yearly roundup of picks from around t...

A Kindly Plea For Tiki Barber To Shut The Hell Up
Tiki Barber, from all accounts, seems like a rather charming fellow. He's handsome, smart and obviously talented and comfortable in front of a camera; you don't just fall into a spot alongside Matt Lauer by stuttering and stammering. (This is why CBS went with Katie Couric rather than Eric Dickerson...

The NBC Sunday Night Crew Is Trying To Control Your Mind
You might think you want to watch the NFL on Sunday nights because it's often the best game of the week, or because you're related to one of the broadcasters, which, let's face it, as many as there are, is pretty likely. But no: You're watching football on Sunday nights because NBC is in your brain...
