The Colts Scored A Touchdown Before Getting A First Down
The Chiefs are manhandling the Colts on both sides of the ball right now, but the game is still faintly in reach thanks to this blocked punt by Najee Goode and end-zone recovery by Zach Pascal....
Is Jared Goff Funny? A Brief Investigation
Under the headline “Rams QB Jared Goff is really funny ... if you’re paying attention” ESPN’s Los Angeles Rams beat writer Lindsey Thiry examines how the “tall, blonde, super-cool California kid” under center is actually a secret font of dry humor and witty zingers. Thiry spoke to Goff’s coach, pare...
Kyle Kuzma Is Making The Most Of His Chance To Lead The LeBron-Less Lakers
Every Lakers game without LeBron James is an adventure. Los Angeles is 3-5 since the King went down on Christmas Day, and they’ve looked like three-day-old trash at times—they even lost to the Knicks. ...
I Regret To Inform You That Stephen A. Smith Is In A Feud With The Arizona Cardinals
Stephen A. Smith is constantly whapping back and forth between the poles that make up his on-air persona: entertainer and dummy. At the latter, it can be really bad, like when he’s breaking down a matchup by citing three different players who are no longer with the team, or much more harmfully, lett...
Royals Employees Were The Ones Playing Mario Kart On The Kauffman Stadium Jumbotron
The Kansas City Chiefs host the Indianapolis Colts in this weekend’s playoff matchup, so Kansas City’s KCTV5 sent a helicopter out to get aerial shots of the city’s football stadium before the game. What the cameras ended up seeing was much better than shots of a 50-year-old stadium could have ever ...
Report: New USC Offensive Coordinator Kliff Kingsbury Is Now New Arizona Cardinals Head Coach Kliff Kingsbury
It feels like barely even a month ago that Kliff Kingsbury departed his head coaching gig at Texas Tech and arrived at USC to be the Trojans’ new offensive coordinator. But now, after a remarkable run that saw USC go 0-0 and Kingsbury’s offense put up #DIV/0! yards per game, the 39-year-old is heade...
What The Hell Was Nick Saban Thinking With That Fake Field Goal?
After spotting Clemson a 15-point lead at the half, Alabama slowly moved the ball down the field on their first possession of the third quarter, taking 12 plays to get to a pivotal fourth-and-6 from the Clemson 22. Bama’s kicker had doinked an extra point in the first half, so Nick Saban faced the d...
It Sucks That Trevor Lawrence Can't Play In The NFL Until 2021
They (the people who know these things) have known about Trevor Lawrence for a long, long time. While the Tennessee-born Lawrence was smashing all of Georgia’s state high school records, he was ranked as the No. 1 overall prospect by every recruiting site and service—every single one of them. It was...
The Chargers Smothered The Ravens With An "Insane" Game Plan
Today’s NFL might be dominated by creative approaches to offense, but the Chargers went to Baltimore on Sunday and won a playoff game with a daring and innovative blueprint for their defense....
Robbie Gould, The Best Kicker In Bears History, Was At Their Playoff Loss
Bears fans might be having a rough Monday after Cody Parkey’s double-doink kept them from advancing in the playoffs, but this may provide some solace: The best kicker in the history of their franchise was in the stands watching....
So That's It For Joe Flacco In Baltimore
Lamar Jackson’s Ravens saw their season end on Sunday with a 23-17 Wild Card home loss to the Chargers, in a game that was very much a learning experience for Jackson. Though a pair of touchdowns in the fourth quarter made the contest competitive, for the majority of the day Baltimore’s rookie quart...
The Spanish Call Of Cody Parkey's Double-Doink Is Very, Very Good
Rickie Ricardo is the Spanish radio play-by-play guy for the Eagles (and, weirdly, the Yankees). He was in fine form Sunday evening, as Philly survived and advanced on a missed field goal by Cody Parkey. “I almost had a heart attack,” Ricardo tweeted of Parkey’s kick that banged off the upright, the...
Cody Parkey's Double-Doink Was Tipped
This is what the aftermath sounded like to Cody Parkey:...
Cody Parkey Double-Doinked And Kept The Nick Foles Magic Alive<em></em>
With ten seconds left in the game against Philadelphia, Bears kicker Cody Parkey somehow hit the goalpost and the crossbar on a 43-yard field goal attempt that would have eliminated the Eagles from the playoffs. The double-doinked kick was not good, and big-dicked god-king Nick Foles survived anothe...
Bears Complete 30-Yard Pass For No Gain As Officials Recover Fumble
The Eagles-Bears game got weird right before halftime when Eagles cornerback Cre’Von Leblanc wrested the ball from Bears receiver Anthony Miller in an impressive display of strength. The play was initially ruled an incompletion, but the inhuman standard of slow motion showed that Miller caught the b...
Refs Cost Chargers And Ravens Touchdowns On Consecutive Plays
A bizarre sequence came to the cosmically correct ending in the Chargers-Ravens game. Refs and replay officials arguably blew at least four separate calls at the 1-yard-line before the Chargers finally punched it in for a 20-3 lead....
The Seahawks Forgot They Had Russell Wilson Until It Was Too Late<em></em>
After an offseason roster purge, the Seahawks put together a playoff push even though they ran the ball more than they threw it—an unconventional approach in today’s NFL. Russell Wilson thrived nonetheless, thanks to his mastery of the deep ball and his ability to throw with unreal accuracy into tig...
The Ravens Fumbled Three Times In Their First Eight Offensive Plays
The Ravens did not have the best start to their postseason, at least on offense....
The Colts' Rookies Blocked The Texans' Stars Straight Into Hell
Jadeveon Clowney is one of the most talented athletes in all of American sports. Here’s Colts rookie guard Quenton Nelson stopping him cold and then backing him up two full yards before tossing him to the ground: ...
What The Hell Is Jim Irsay Saying Here?
Here’s my best attempt at transcribing the speech that maniacal Colts owner Jim Irsay gave after his team’s wild-card win over the Texans:...
