Report: The Chargers Have Fans??? In Tennessee???
With 3:38 remaining in the first half, Philip Rivers connected with Melvin Gordon on a one-yard touchdown pass to complete a 14-play, 94-yard drive.

Myles Garrett Says Some Weak Sucker Asked Him For A Photo Then Punched Him
Who would do something like this to Myles Garrett? It’s a deeply shitty thing to sucker-punch someone, and it’s especially futile in this case, since Garrett is a 6-foot-4, 272-pound defensive end for the Cleveland Browns. It would take a grizzly bear to damage him!...

It Is Easier To Find Waldo Than It Is To Find Skins Fans At This Skins Home Game [Update]
Word started to spread during prime tailgate hours Sunday that the crowd for the afternoon Patriots-Skins game in Landover would be heavily tilted in favor of the road team.

Fight At Indians’ Stadium Goes South, Just Like Their Season
When Sun Tzu wrote Art of War around 500 B.C., there’s no way he could have possibly imagined his philosophies getting used in the context of a fight amongst baseball fans in Cleveland, but that’s exactly what appears to have happened on Saturday night. In the ninth chapter, so to speak, Tzu writes ...

The Fallout From The Mike Scott Fight Has Shaken Philadelphia To Its Core
Sixers forward Mike Scott had a typical Philadelphia sports Sunday this week: He went to an Eagles tailgate, got into a fistfight, then brushed himself off and attended the game—a plot so hacky it’s straight out of the movie they made about Philly sports degenerates, Silver Linings Playbook. Mike Sc...

Hmm. Here is what I know to be true:...

Jerkass Browns Fan Doused Some Celebrating Titans Players In Beer
The Titans delivered an absolute shitkicking of the Browns Sunday in Cleveland, and the cherry on top was Malcolm Butler’s game-sealing pick-six with three minutes to go. When Butler reached the end zone, he and some of his teammates jumped up to celebrate with a Titans fan in the front row. A Brown...
