The Eagles Can't Even Fire Some No-Name Marketing Executive Without Screwing Something Up
The Philadelphia Eagles this afternoon fired someone named Tim McDermott. From a football standpoint, it's not a big deal. McDermott was the team's senior vice president and chief marketing officer, so it's not like he was responsible for, say, drafting Jaiquwan Jarrett. If anything, shitcanning McD...
Jason Babin May Have Lost His Mind

Dear Fireman Ed: F-U-C-K Off! Off! Off!

For Once, The Browns Really Were #1 Against The Steelers
Long-suffering Browns fans have faced a decade of hardship when it comes to games against the hated Pittsburgh Steelers.
