Cam Newton Snaps At Heckling Alabama Fan

Cam Newton is normally as cool as a cucumber (remember when he gleefully smiled his way through a training camp scuffle?), but he got a bit rattled here when an Alabama fan brought up the alleged pay for play scandal that engulfed Newton during his college career....

"Ah, Fuck!" 

If only Aaron Rodgers realized he would suffer an injured wrist moments after this, he might have come up with an even more profane ejaculation....

Romo Down 

A bad game for the Dallas Cowboys got worse when quarterback Tony Romo was injured after Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis sacked him....

Report: Johnny Manziel Told His Friends To Lie To The Browns About Partying Video

Last weekend a video surfaced of the Browns then-starting quarterback Johnny Manziel holding champagne while at a party. Normally that’d be no big deal—who cares that he’s having fun during the bye week—except that Manziel went to rehab earlier this year, presumably because of a drinking problem....

Former FSU Official: Football Players Receive Special Treatment As Dozens Accused Of Sexual Assault Or Domestic Violence

The former Florida State administrator in charge of the university’s Victim Advocate Office until this past August testified that over nine years, around 40 football players were accused of intimate partner violence or sexual assault, according to court testimony released Wednesday....

<i>Red Cliff </i>Is The Crazed War Epic John Woo Was Reborn To Make

It’s probably fair to say that John Woo went limping back to Hong Kong. In the ’80s and early ’90s, Woo changed the Hong Kong film industry by making some of the best action movies of all time: Hard Boiled, The Killer, A Better Tomorrow, Bullet in the Head. He then spent a decade in Hollywood, where...

Football Coach Has Sex Advice

The Grey Cup is Sunday, and one of the enduring traditions of the CFL championship is the head coaches being asked on whether they believe their players should have sex before the game. Ottawa’s Rick Campbell couldn’t help give a very coachspeak answer....

The Patriots Are Sketchy And Deserve Scrutiny

Monday night’s Buffalo Bills-New England Patriots game was a primetime display of shoddy officiating. The most egregious instance involved an inadvertent whistle on a Danny Amendola catch that would have been a huge gain, if not a touchdown, but Gene Steratore’s crew bungled other plays throughout t...

St. Louis Rams wide receiver Stedman Bailey was shot in the head tonight in South Florida while in a car with his family, according to a report from Mike Silver of NFL.com and another from Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle.

Peyton Manning Is In A Walking Cast And The Broncos Are Working Out New Quarterbacks

Peyton Manning—the 39-year-old Broncos quarterback with a messed up neck, foot, ribcage, and quad—is in a walking cast and will miss at least Weeks 12 & 13, per the team. From the report:...

Titans: Please Cheer For Us

It’s rough being a Titans fan. Tennessee is winless at home over its last 10 games, and 4-20 going back to 2013. Attendance is down, and at Nissan Stadium (that’s what it’s called now, turns out), especially toward the end of blowout losses, visiting fans can feel louder and more numerous than those...

Report: Bad Call At End Of Patriots-Bills Game Was Because Official Forgot He Wasn't In College

The inadvertent whistle is justly getting most of the attention, but the Patriots’ 20-13 win over the Bills was a terrible game all around for the zebras. And the Boston Globe has a source in the referees’ union who blames the blown call on the final play of the game on an official who mixed up a co...

Johnny Manziel's Defense: "Videos Can Be Old" [UPDATE]

This weekend, a video surfaced of Johnny Manziel holding a champagne bottle and singing to Future, which would be a standard bit of athlete-out-on-the-town goofiness if not for the fact that the Browns quarterback spent two months in rehab earlier this year. The clip appears to be from a Friday part...

Florentino Pérez Is What's Wrong With Real Madrid

After seeing how summarily Barcelona dispensed with Real Madrid, the temptation is to lay the blame at the feet of their first-year manager, Rafa Benítez. That seems to be the way club president Florentino Pérez is leaning. (Benítez has even received the dreaded vote of confidence! The end is nigh!)...

What's Wrong With NFL Officiating?

It’s getting exhausting emerging from each weekend with our choice of questionable and downright bad refereeing decisions to analyze, but it feels unavoidable these days. I don’t know if it’s confirmation bias or if it’s real, but NFL officiating feels as bad this season as it’s ever been. Last nigh...

Officials Blow Inadvertent Whistle On Completed Pats Pass, Then Screw Up Ruling

The Patriots are locked into a tight game with the Bills, tied 10-10 in the third quarter. But that scoreline might’ve been very different, if not for an enormous refereeing blunder....

Miami Marlins Dump Longtime TV Analyst Tommy Hutton

Tommy Hutton, the former major leaguer who has been the Marlins TV analyst since 1997, was kicked to the curb today, according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.
