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. The couple dressed up as Catwoman and Batman, and Wilson strengthened the theory that it’s incredibly difficult to not look like a dork in a full Batman costume. (Sure, you feel cool, and t...
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...

NFL Backs Scientist Who Explains CTE As Ex-NFLers Being Sad They Aren't Famous Anymore
The NFL is, to be polite, discerning about what kind of brain research it endorses in the ongoing study of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). So far, it seems to favor better helmets (which are bullshit) and better sideline procedures (the chief of which, the King-Devick test, might not be bull...
The Abyss Looks Back: Your Guide To Ignoring Football Today

Ben-Gals Cheerleaders Win $255,000 Settlement In Lawsuit Against The Bengals
NFL teams tend to treat their cheerleaders not so much as valued employees, but rather as rock-dumb sex objects. Hits include the ridiculous list of petty fines Raiderettes could earn for, say, “improperly polishing their boots,” the Ravens’s exacting micromanagement over cheerleaders’s weight, and ...
Report: Tom Brady's Personal Guru Was Sued For Fraud Twice
One of the highlights revealed in the Tom Brady email dump was his adherence to the teachings and theories of one Alex Guerrero.

Flip Saunders Will Not Return To The Wolves This Season
