Lone Bright Spot For The Browns Injured Too
The Cleveland Browns, an alleged NFL team, are so thoroughly screwed. Part of this is by design. Part of this is because they’ve suffered a horrific stretch of injuries. RG3 (few people’s idea of a savior) hurt his shoulder, his backup hurt his shoulder, and now the team has to start a rookie next w...
Take Our Survey On Boycotting The NFL And Don't You Dare Lie
Yahoo and YouGov teamed up to survey over a thousand Americans about how they felt about Colin Kaepernick-inspired protests during the national anthem. Though the release is suspiciously light on methodology, the headline finding is that 44 percent of self-identified NFL fans said they would stop wa...
Richard Sherman Addresses Police Killings Of Black Men At Press Conference, Then Walks Out<em></em>
Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman did not answer questions about his team’s upcoming game against the San Francisco 49ers during a press conference today. Instead, he spoke about the recent deaths of Keith Lamont Scott and Terence Cutcher, two black men who were shot to death by police thi...
Cam Newton Says Some Things To Colin Kaepernick
Simply by virtue of being a famous and talented black quarterback, Cam Newton was always going to get questions about Colin Kaepernick’s refusal to stand for the national anthem. Perhaps sensing that those questions aren’t going away anytime soon, Newton today released a statement of sorts on his In...
That Might Be The Last You See Of Adrian Peterson As A Viking
Adrian Peterson tore a meniscus in his right knee on Sunday night, and announced today he’s going to have surgery tomorrow to repair it. In the absolute best-case scenario, he’ll only be back for the playoffs. Much more likely, he’s out for the season. And after that?...
Marshawn Lynch On Colin Kaepernick Is Very Good
It’s not that recently retired RB Marshawn Lynch doesn’t like talking. He just very much cares about choosing the time and place and topic, and when he does have something to say, it’s quite often worth listening to....
Look At How Excited Thomas Davis Is
The Carolina Panthers played with their food (the San Francisco 49ers) for a long time before they finally finished them off this weekend. The defense came up with a touchdown and a pair of picks, but they also allowed Vance McDonald to get loose for a 75-yard touchdown. They’ll be fine, probably, b...
Las Vegas's Play For The Raiders Keeps Getting Shadier
With the public wising up to the con of taxpayer-financed stadiums, the group invested in moving the Oakland Raiders to Las Vegas is doing all it can to remove the public from the process. And Roger Goodell and the NFL are loving it....

Remember When This Crappy Hitter Became A Bat-Flipping God?
Do you remember Tom Lawless’s three-run homer in Game 4 of the 1987 World Series? If you’re a young-ish idiot like me, there’s a decent chance you have no memory of that game and have never even heard of Tom Lawless. Let’s change that....
It's Probably Time To Write Off The Bears
Maybe because in the Jay Cutler era the Bears have typically ranged from mediocre-bad to mediocre-good, spots on a relatively short continuum that usually requires the bulk of the season to pinpoint, this team gets treated as potentially relevant for far longer than it should. Let’s not fall for it ...
Carson Wentz Sure Looks Legit
Carson Wentz won the second straight start of his professional career over the Bears tonight, 29-14. The Bears are no great foe (Pro Football Focus had their secondary as the second-worst in football), but Wentz led his offense this evening with rare composure for a neophyte. He threw for 190 yards,...

The Fan Experience At The Rams' Stadium Sounded Like Hell [Update]
The L.A. Coliseum, current home of the Los Angeles Rams, has hosted two preseason games and one regular-season NFL game, and it’s already emerging as the most fan-hostile building in the NFL. Impressive!...
Seahawks Heavily Penalized For Overly Intense Offseason Workouts

Report: The Browns Fired A Bunch Of Scouts Who Liked Carson Wentz
I do not know what the future holds for the careers of Jared Goff, Carson Wentz, or the buttload of draft picks the Browns received from Philadelphia for the rights to Wentz. I only know that Cleveland could desperately use a quarterback now and going forward, and that the Eagles firmly believe they...
The Browns Wanted To Suck, And The Injury Gods Have Obliged Them
The Cleveland Browns went into this season tanking about as openly as you’ll ever see in the NFL. With the front office now controlled by Ivy Leaguers, the Browns spent the offseason stockpiling draft picks—they drafted 14 players in June, all of whom made the 53-man roster, and have another dozen-p...

Adrian Peterson Has A Torn Meniscus
Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson left Sunday’s game early with a leg injury and had to be carried back to the locker room. Today, head coach Mike Zimmer said that Peterson had torn his meniscus....
