The First Woman In The NFL's Old Boys' Club
I attended my first league meeting not long after joining the organization on a full-time basis. This meeting was what the league refers to as a “two-per-club meeting” and as the name suggests, clubs were allowed to be represented by no more than two attendees. In most cases, the controlling owner t...

Trevor Siemian Was Fine And The Broncos Should Be Thrilled<em></em>
As far as first career NFL starts go, Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian acquitted himself well. In fact, if you’ll allow me to be the annoying amateur football analyst in your office real quick, I’ll say that Siemian’s pedestrian box score—18-of-26, 178 yards, one touchdown, two picks—doesn’t tell ...
Cam Newton's Night Was Hard To Watch
Now we know that someone in the NFL or with the Panthers saw the multiple brain-rattling blows to Cam Newton’s head and thought hey, maybe he’s concussed, we should check on him. We do not know when they thought this, but we know they made sure to wait until the game was over to do anything about it...
Cam Newton Doesn't Remember The End Of The Football Game He Just Finished

Broncos Fullback Scores 28-Yard Touchdown On First Career Carry
A few plays after setting a key block to spring C.J. Anderson for a long run, Broncos rookie Andy Janovich took the very first carry of his career 28 yards into the end zone. Bene Benwikere clearly was not expecting Janovich to get the ball, as he ran in too quickly. Panthers safety Scott Simonson c...

Broncos Linebacker Brandon Marshall Kneels During National Anthem [Update]
Every Panther stood during the first national anthem of the NFL regular season, and every Bronco stood except for Brandon Marshall, who took a knee. Marshall was a teammate of Colin Kaepernick’s at Nevada. He’s been a supporter of Kaepernick’s protest from the start, telling the Colorado Springs Gaz...

Remember When Donald Trump Didn't Know Why There Were 13 Stripes On The American Flag?<em></em>
Back in 2008, Donald Trump was asked to pay a $10,000 fee after he illegally erected a 70-foot flag pole at one of his golf clubs in California. Donald Trump did not want to pay the $10,000 fee. Not because he’s grossly misrepresented his liquid assets, of course, but because the American flag is ab...

Big, Stupid Falcons Stadium To Feature Big, Stupid Bird Statue
The Atlanta Falcons appear to be very committed to building the most batshit insane football stadium in American history. They already went and approved a design that will make the stadium resemble a robot’s anus, and now they are going to grace the grounds with what is purported to be the largest b...

In the fourth week of the preseason, two other NFL players joined Colin Kaepernick in sitting out the playing of the “Star-Spangled Banner”: his 49ers teammate Eric Reid, and Seahawks CB Jeremy Lane. Lane said he will continue his protest into the regular season, but he may not be alone....
Here's An Old "Haters Gonna Say It's Fake" Video From High School-Era Carson Wentz
This one’s pretty self-explanatory. Tipster Ed sent us this video of a young Carson Wentz and his friends fucking around and creating a proto-“Haters gonna say it’s fake” video of themselves throwing paper into the trash. It was uploaded in 2011. It made me laugh much more than I thought it would. T...

If The NFL Is Worse Now, The Reason Why Is Obvious<em></em>
The examined hypothesis of Kevin Clark’s new article in The Ringer, about a belief within the NFL that the “on-field product” is becoming kinda shitty, is that the game is suffering because the league is getting drastically younger, which has led to players with underdeveloped skills and minds seein...
