Report: Chip Kelly Was Fired In Part Because He Messed Up The Eagles' Holiday Party
Holiday parties are a wonderful time of the year where you can get drunk with your coworkers, contract gonorrhea from them, or in Chip Kelly’s case, hurry on your pending unemployment.

Bills Fan Sets Himself On Fire
All good things must come to an end, by which I mean: the Buffalo Bills are playing their last home game of the season today. It was a hell of a run, featuring barfing, furniture wrestling, butts, and doin’ it in the parking lot. Today, we bring you a tale of two tables....

Goodbye Jim Tomsula, Man Of Many Talents
Firing season is truly upon us. According to a report from PFT, the 49ers are going to fire Jim Tomsula after a fairly disastrous 4-11 season that saw the team regress all the way from championship contenders to one of the worst teams in the NFL. Not all of this is Tomsula’s fault, of course (everyo...

Specifically: that black quarterbacks like to run because they...
Christian Hackenberg Thanks Everyone But His Coach While Declaring For NFL Draft

Sputtering Florida Offense Manages Something Indescribable, Awesome

What Do The Eagles Do Now?
On its face, the Eagles’ decision to dump head coach Chip Kelly after two good seasons and a bad one makes little sense. A good coach is one of the hardest things to find in the NFL, and it’s usually a bad idea to get rid of a coach after just one down year. That logic doesn’t really follow in Kelly...
Brandon Weeden Roasted Jerry Jones
Brandon Weeden began this season as a Cowboy and is going to end it among the thicket of, oh, let’s say, imperfect QBs leading the Texans into the playoffs (unless the Colts somehow beat the 3,300:1 odds stacked against them). I’m sure he didn’t imagine he’d play much this season, let alone start fo...
