<i>RoboCop </i>Is The Best Movie Ever Made
In fourth grade, I went to school every day with a RoboCop lunchbox. In retrospect, this seems insane. RoboCop is arguably the bleakest, most violent, most nihilistic movie ever made by an American studio. Every scene seems to drip with malice even when nothing especially dramatic is happening. It's...
Imprisoned Cowboys Fan Sues NFL For $89B For Reversing Dez Bryant Catch
Terry Hendrix, currently incarcerated in Colorado and a serial filer of frivolous lawsuits, has finally struck upon a real injustice. He's suing the NFL for nearly $89 billion for the officiating decision to overturn Dez Bryant's reception in the Cowboys' playoff loss to the Packers....
Washington Logo Digitally Removed In New Ad
This ad, part of the "Change the Mascot" campaign and funded by the National Congress of American Indians and the Oneida Nation, is really subtle—you don't notice until well into it that the logo is missing players' helmets and from the end zone....
Colts Player: Officials Stopped Using Patriots' Balls In The First Half
Because the NFL investigation is taking its sweet time (they haven't spoken to Tom Brady yet), and because it'll never reveal anything useful anyway, we're forced to piece together the details and the timeline of how the Patriots' deflated-ball scandal played out. This interview helps immensely: it'...
Report: Lieutenant Called "The Cleaner" Also Steelers Security Chief
ESPN's Outside The Lines is reporting today that the head of security for the Pittsburgh Steelers since 2001 has at the same time continued working as a high-ranking law enforcement officer in the Allegheny County Sheriff's Office. This sure looks like a potential conflict of interest, and ESPN's St...
Mark Brunell Almost Cries Over Deflated Balls
This is what we get for having two weeks before the Super Bowl. Stern questions at press conferences over the size and firmness of balls. Unironic tweets explicitly comparing the NFL's investigations to actual police work, despite the fact that last September, we received a big lesson about why it's...
Cops: Seahawks Fan Threatened To Knife Another For Leaving Game Early
Beware leaving a game early. For one thing, your team might forge a historic comeback and you'll be stuck watching—or listening—from afar. But one guy got it even worse. He told Seattle police a man threatened to stab him after he left the NFC Championship Game early. ...
Tom Brady Talking About Balls: The Supercut
Our equipment guys do a great job of breaking the balls. To me they're perfect. I don't want anyone rubbing 'em. I wouldn't want anyone touching those. Whatever feels good that day... I'm not squeezing the balls. It's not part of my process. Breaking the balls. Some guys like old balls. I tell them ...
Mike Florio Could Probably Use A Nap
Football, man. The season is too long. It can really get to people. And with frantic 24-hour news cycles like the one created by Ballghazi, there's not much time to get away and decompress....
Tom Brady: I Didn't Alter Or Even Notice The Underinflated Balls
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady met with the press today in Foxborough and confessed ignorance as to how New England came to be using under-inflated footballs—and, incredibly, that he didn't even notice the illegal balls....
The Family Dispute Over Ownership Of The Saints Is Getting Ugly

Under the new plan, the 87-year-old Benson's daughter, Renee Benson, and her two children...
Tinder Girl's Icebreaker: I Fucked Odell Beckham Jr.

The NFL Will Have Three Quadruple-Headers Next Season
You knew it was coming—and it's sure to be polarizing—but the NFL has announced that its three London games in 2015 will kick off at 9:30 a.m. Eastern. Which means three different fall Sundays will offer four football games in a row. Your body is not ready....
Last Night's <i>Hannity</i> Just Couldn't Stop Talking About Ballsacks
It's no surprise Ballghazi is taking over the cable news airwaves, but the national nets have sadly been too humble or afraid to utter the necessary term "ballsack." American patriot Sean Hannity's program is the home of real talk, though, and last night they just couldn't stop talking about ballsac...
This NFL Bad Lip-Reading Video Is Funny As Hell
You know how every year, a bad NFL lip reading video hits the streets and something in it funny happens, like Greg Gumbel turning to Trent Green and saying, "Did I mention that I never planned to serve you rodent meat?" and you chuckle to yourself a little bit? You know what I'm talking about. Don't...

An Entire Seahawks Scandal Arose And Died In 20 Minutes
Heady times, that fateful January morning when eagle-eyed football fans discovered the Seattle Seahawks engaged in an act so nefarious, so unsporting, it threatened to tear apart the very fabric of the NFL—nay, of America. The wounds have healed now, the fractures set, but the emotional scars linger...
