Gamblers Can Finally Take a Deep Breath
New England was up ten when they went for it on 4th and Goal late in the game. For someone like me, with fair amount of money invested in a 17 point spread (or 16.5 if you were lucky), this is where things got nutty. Just as it looked that Cleveland would run out the clock (if Romeo can't win he can...

I Come Bearing Updates
Detroit at Washington The second half is underway and my Redskins are still kicking ass. Mike Sellers is absolutely destroying people (video of this to come) and he even managed to steal a touchdown away from all of the Clinton Portis fantasy owners. Washington is dominating on both sides of the bal...

Another Devastating Injury For Trent Green
That was the last thing anyone wanted to see. After coming back from a scary injury last season Trent Green took a knee right to the side of the head when he went low to lay a block for his teammate. Green was immobilized on the field and eventually carted off on a stretcher. Obviously everyone is h...

They Should See His Swatch Collection
I think we can all agree that OJ has regained his status as a constant source of entertainment. The former running back/pitchman/double-murderer is back in the news this weekend after thanks to his latest controversy, a phony Rolex. Someone in the Goldman camp noticed that the Juice was sporting a w...

Pizza Hut Wants To Be Friends With Roy Williams
You might remember that Lions wide receiver Roy Williams hates to tip pizza delivery guys. Well, it turns out, the president of Pizza Hut has taken notice, and he's offering Williams a job....

Travis Henry Is One Stoned Strategist
Travis Henry has long since shown his particular skill at innovation, siring seven children with seven women, which is not easy to do even if you are trying. And now he's dealing with the positive drug test the NFL made him take by suing the NFL....


The Mascots Are Attacking The Cheerleaders
We're not sure what possessed Freddie Falcon to smash a birthday cake into the face of an Atlanta Falcons cheerleader … but we don't get the impression she was particularly happy about it....

Jamboroo, Week 5: I Wanna Talk Like A Motherf—kin' Quarterback
Big Daddy Drew's Thursday Afternoon NFL Dick Joke Jamboroo previews the upcoming weekend of the NFL every, well, every Thursday afternoon....

It's Quite The Big Event When Matt Leinart Shows Up
Some fans of The Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals have had some concern that quarterback (for now) Kurt Warner has been spending too much time partaking in matters of social interaction, and not enough time studying film. And now we're starting to worry he's showing up at events just to get out...

Florida Fan Motto: Dignity, Always Dignity
You've probably seen this by now, but it can't pass without comment. This was not, in fact, Dan Shanoff. Good guess, though....

Leave Tony Joiner Alone!
Some are calling University of Florida safety Tony Joiner a thief this morning, but we call him hero. All he was trying to do was liberate his girlfriend's car from a towing yard — a noble gesture — and when someone witnessed the maneuver, Joiner even stopped and waited around for the cops. To me th...

Tom Brady Loves To Fly And It Shows
Tom Brady's offensive line is fierce in their devotion to him, and that includes, apparently, censoring the in-flight movies on flights to away games. No sooner had the movie begun on the Patriots' flight to Cincinnati last week than a moment during the opening credits proved a bit, um, awkward for ...

Leinart Has A Hard Time Handling His "Booze"
We were curious how Matt Leinart would handle his late-night Sauvignon Blanc confession to Michael Silver that he doesn't like being switched in and out of his starting job in Arizona. He took a different tack than we might have....

This Week In The SSW
For years — OK, a couple of days — Slate writer Robert Weintraub has been tinkering with a concept called The SSW, short for "The Sean Salisbury Wisdom," which tracks the consensus of the football punditocracy to ensure those triumphant declarations from Friday aren't flushed down the memory hole on...

Pity Poor John Bowie
As the Patriots cruised to yet another easy victory last night, with three more Tom Brady touchdowns and two more Randy Moss touchdowns, we take a look at the sad sack that is John Bowie....

Will The Patriots Score 38 Again?
This could be the last stand for the Bengals, early on anyway, and they're playing the absolute worst team you could play right now if you needed to make a last stand. Unfortunately, everyone's just going to talk about that CameraGate situation all night. Again....

Please, Please Be Quiet, Matt
We're far enough away from Arizona not to necessarily have our finger on the pulse of as many issues involving the Buzzsaw that we'd like, but we were heartened to see Matt Leinart totally comfortable with the job-sharing arrangement with Kurt Warner. He seemed happy, anyway, until Yahoo's Michael S...
