Report: GM Stopped Bill O'Brien From Cutting Ryan Mallett Before Sunday's Game [UPDATE]
The Texans may have the saddest ongoing quarterback controversy in the league, with head coach Bill O’Brien yo-yoing between Ryan Mallett and Brian Hoyer, both of whom are bad.

The Ravens Are (Rightfully) Pissed Off About The Officiating
Every team has calls go against it over the course of the game, but two in particular boned the Ravens last night, both in big spots, and both more or less inexplicable. Baltimore WR Steve Smith is not going to let the officials get away with this: “Two stars. That’s what I’m putting on my Yelp.”...
Shirtless Eagles Fan Gives Deeply Uncomfortable Pregame Speech

Joe Flacco's Headset Stopped Working On The Ravens' Final Drive
After a few breaks went their way, the Ravens found themsleves eight points down with 76 yards to go and 1:53 left, with no timeouts. A tough task under the smoothest of circumstances—and even tougher when the Ravens’ sideline lost communication with the huddle....
Gene Upshaw's Wife Says She Gave Up Her Entire Family To Marry Him
When I was growing up in Oakland in the 1990s Gene Upshaw’s heyday had long since passed, but he was still beloved by Raider Nation and seemingly everybody involved in football. Ten, fifteen, twenty years after his Hall of Fame career he was still feted by Al Davis and the entire Raiders organizatio...

Kevin Garnett Walked Out Of Practice To Sit In Flip Saunders's Parking Spot
Flip Saunders helped Kevin Garnett as he turned into a dominant NBA player. Their reign on the Timberwolves was the most successful in the team’s short history, and Garnett waived his no-trade clause in February to reunite with Saunders and help the new, young foundation in Minnesota. When Saunders ...
DeAndre Hopkins Is The NFL's Hardest-Working Receiver
Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins only caught six balls for 50 yards during yesterday’s blowout loss against the Dolphins. Normally, that’s the kind of stat line you’d expect a No. 1 receiver with a bad quarterback to put up in a game where the entire team fell apart around him. But Hopkins has b...
Why Would Anyone Defend Greg Hardy?
Last night, the Dallas Cowboys lost in spectacular fashion to the New York Giants when the eventual Super Bowl winners answered a game-tying Cowboys touchdown by returning the ensuing kickoff 100 yards for what would prove to be the winning score. Shortly thereafter, Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy...
Reporter's Bullshit Detector Goes Off As Jerry Jones Praises Greg Hardy
Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy fought with a coach during Sunday’s game against the Giants, and refused to talk about it afterwards, so the media turned to Jerry Jones, the guy who brought him to Dallas. He wasn’t helpful, either....
Russell Wilson And Ciara Channel Supposed Sexual Frustration Into Costume Party
R&B singer Ciara’s 30th birthday was Sunday, and to celebrate, her boyfriend Russell Wilson threw her a party.

Not Nearly As Many People Watched Bills/Jaguars As Yahoo Wants You To Believe
So, did you watch any of Bills/Jaguars, the first NFL game to be exclusively broadcast online? It was, by all accounts, a pretty good stream. But the popularity of the broadcast probably wasn’t anywhere near as high as Yahoo would like you to believe....
Bills Fans Continue War Against Furniture
The Bills were in London this Sunday, so there aren’t as many clips of them being foolish at tailgates. Thanks to our readers, however, we can fill that absence with videos of them breaking tables at previous games....
It Just Keeps Getting Worse For The Colts
It’s possible that an optimistic Colts fan could have found some hope in yesterday’s 27-21 loss to the Saints, which featured the Colts nearly coming back from a 27-point deficit before running out of time. But that would require one to ignore the first half, as well as the “heated conversation” tha...
The Cowboys Are Just Going To Keep Covering For Greg Hardy
As much as the Cowboys want to downplay Greg Hardy’s little sideline meltdown toward the end of Dallas’s loss to the Giants—and cast his tantrum as the actions of “one of the real leaders on this team,” as Jerry Jones put it—it’s telling that he got a visit from Tony Romo right after the game. Romo ...
Greg Hardy Was Mad At Everyone Today
The Giants beat the Cowboys 27-20 today to take the lead atop the NFC East, the most comically mediocre division in football, thanks to Dwayne Harris’s fourth quarter 100-yard kickoff return. Greg Hardy picked up another sack in his second game back from a four-game suspension, but the game did not ...
Rex Ryan Taunts Doug Marrone By Selecting Entire Offensive Line As Captains
Doug Marrone was the Buffalo Bills head coach for two seasons, including last year’s successful 9-7 campaign. He opted out of his contract last December to take advantage of a clause that allowed him to make $4 million dollars in 2015 no matter if he coached or not. He tried to get the New York Jets...
