Barely Anyone Came To The Panthers Game

A subhead on the Sun-Sentinel's gamer for last night's Senators-Panthers tilt reads, simply, "Panthers lose again with barely anyone watching." That's about right....

Anthony Davis Instagrams St. Louis Cops Arresting Some Guy

49ers offensive tackle Anthony Davis didn't suit up for the second week in a row because of a sprained MCL, but that doesn't mean he wasn't involved in any action. While walking off the field after the 49ers win, Davis documented this arrest of a fan who claims that he only wanted to get an autograp...

Ferguson Protesters Attend Monday Night Football

Protesters participating in Ferguson October—a long weekend of protests against the deaths of Mike Brown and John Crawford, and police violence in minority communities—brought the struggle to an unusual place Monday night: the inside of an NFL stadium. ...

Kicker Lives The Dream, Scores Touchdown On Own Kickoff

This is William Will, the emphatically named kicker for Dayton, swooping in to recover a fumble and take it to the house for (we are going out on a giant limb here) his first career touchdown. He was named the FCS Pioneer League's special teams player of the week, because come the fuck on....

Report: Almost All Ex-Players Will Take NFL's Concussion Settlement

ESPN's Outside The Lines reports today that lawyers involved in the concussion case expect "no more than a few hundred" of the approximately 18,000 former NFL players involved to opt out of the settlement. Just nine players have filed paperwork to opt out so far, OTL reports, and the deadline is Tue...

Photos: Dolphins, Packers Fans Brawl In Parking Lot

Here are some very well-composed photos from a brawl between Dolphins and Packers fans outside of Sun Life Stadium before yesterday's game. According to the photo captions, shirtless bro repped the Packers. He does not appear to have won....

The Rams Will Wear Those Sweet 1999 Throwbacks Tonight

St. Louis is breaking out the 1999 throwback uniforms for Monday Night Football tonight, and goddamn, it brings back some fond memories. I genuinely wonder how much of that is the actual uniform and how much is the fact that it was last worn by one of the most exciting teams of football's modern era...

No, That Eagles Employee Wasn't Celebrating Victor Cruz's Injury

Up there is the front page of today's New York Daily News: a guy in an Eagles polo seemingly gloating over a crumpled, injured Victor Cruz on the ground. "PHILTHY," indeed. Of course, the photo captures only one frame. What do moving pictures show?...

Terrance Williams's Catch Was Great, But Tony Romo's Throw Was Better

The best and most important play on Sunday was Tony Romo's hookup with Terrance Williams on a third-and-20, keeping alive a fourth-quarter drive that would end in the Cowboys' go-ahead touchdown against the Seahawks. There had been 55 third-and-at-least-20s to that point in the season, according to ...

Mike Nugent's Missed Field Goal Was The Costliest Play Of Week 6

On the last play of a tied overtime game Mike Nugent missed a chip-shot field goal, which would have won the game for the Bengals. The miss led to the first tie in the NFL this season and was the most detrimental play of the week. According to data from Brian Burke of Advanced Football Analytics...

Victor Cruz's Injury Made Everyone Sad

NFL teams are notoriously cautious about announcing injuries. No matter how obvious a sprain or a tear may seem, they'll wait for a scan to confirm. Not last night. It was mere minutes after Victor Cruz was carted off that the Giants announced he had suffered a torn patella tendon, and that nonexist...

Microphone Defeats Bill Belichick, 1-0

A flimsy microphone frustrated Bill Belichick at Sunday's postgame press conference, edging the Patriots coach out for a 1-0 win....

Player Brutally Punched Out Of Rugby Grand Final Surprisingly OK With It

St. Helens halfback Lance Hohaia, forced to leave Saturday's Super League Grand Final after being concussed by a pair of obscene punches from Wigan's Ben Flower just two minutes into the match, was pretty mellow about the whole event afterward and dismissed it as the sort of thing that happens som...

Vontaze Burfict Is Back To Committing Post-Play Misdemeanors

Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict, whose college career consisted of spectacular plays punctuated by pugilism (sometimes against his own teammates) and who has at least once in his pro career delivered that most unkind of love taps is again accused of playing the heel after yesterday's game aga...

Not Even His Receivers Knew Aaron Rodgers's Fake Spike Was Coming

It wasn't quite a Dan Marino redux in Miami, as Aaron Rodgers's fake spike, which fooled as many Packers as it did Dolphins, didn't come on the winning touchdown. (It merely put Green Bay in prime position for that on the next play.) But we'll never not stop to appreciate an elegant bit of footb...

Man In Wheelchair Claims Eagles Fan Stole His Prosthetic Leg At Game [UPDATE]

This is a new one. Sonny Forriest, Jr., an Eagles fan in a wheelchair who sings outside Lincoln Financial Field, says a woman wearing Eagles apparel stole his prosthetic leg Sunday night....
