Where Have All The Cowboys Fans Gone?
A couple weeks back, Troy Aikman called Cowboys fans a bunch of bandwagoners. It stung, but he was only talking about people who attend games "to be seen." The real fans, the ones who gather in bars and living rooms across the DFW metro area to watch the game, surely they haven't abandoned their bel...

The Steelers Faked An Injury To Stop The Clock
Midway through the fourth, with the Steelers up a score and on the edge of field goal range, Ben Roethlisberger was sacked. He was banged up, and slow getting back to the huddle, and the Steelers found themselves with a choice—burn a timeout, or take a delay of game penalty. WR Emmanuel Sanders to...

Stevie Johnson Learned The Hard Way That Celebrating A Touchdown With Fans Can Be Dangerous
Stevie Johnson—whose post-touchdown exploits we've featured before—found the end zone yesterday for the first time since Week 3, and gave Buffalo the lead in a wacky game very few people saw live.

Legendary Redskins Coach Joe Gibbs Gave The Dallas Cowboys A Peptalk Saturday Night
The Dallas Cowboys were in Charlotte this weekend to take on the the Carolina Panthers. Charlotte also happens to be the home of Joe Gibbs, former coach of the bitter rival Washington Redskins.

If You Have Two Quarterbacks Then You Probably Don't Have Tom Brady: Your NFL Late Games Viewing Guide
It was a wild start to the day, so let's take it down a notch, relax and watch CBS. If you're not interested in Jets-Pats, I guess you could just go take a nap until the Sunday night game or baseball starts or something. Nothing else worthwhile going on. ...

The Jets, To The Patriots: "Hang On A Minute"
The Patriots' hurry-up offense is quick—too quick, according to the Jets. They point to a crucial moment in the Patriots win over the Broncos two weeks ago in which the Patriots had sped up their offense so much between snaps that the Broncos didn't have time to make substitutions. That's not fair: ...

Your NFL Sunday Open Thread
The lights are low, the shades are drawn, we're eating sriracha-based chili: let's watch some football. Big 'ol slate of early games and then soft landing in the afternoon, where you're more or less stuck with the Jets-Patriots game, unless your one of the country's many overzealous Jags fans. Fort...

Florida Gators Coach Will Muschamp Can't Control The VOLUME OF HIS VOICE
The Florida Gators put a beating on South Carolina yesterday in what many expected to be the marquee match-up of the day. At halftime, the Gators were up 21-6, so local radio might reasonably have expected a positive and mellow interview from a pleasantly surprised Florida coach....

Ben Roethlisberger Criticizes Todd Haley's Offense, Public Gleefully Awaits Vesuvian-Level Meltdown
The Todd Haley and Ben Roethlisberger relationship did not get off to the best of starts. Haley was hired to replace Roethlisberger-favorite, Bruce Arians, and then proceeded to never talk to Big Ben. Six weeks into a 2-3 season and Roethlisberger is returning the fuck you. The Pittsburgh Tribune-R...

Beer Of The Week: Australia's Coopers Brewery Sparkling Ale
When I dropped the six-pack of Coopers Brewery Sparkling Ale on the counter at the liquor store, the clerk immediately began singing its praises, in what sounded like an Australian accent. This was pure happy coincidence, best I could tell....

There's No Cheering In The Pressbox, So ESPN's Lee Corso Went Down To The Sidelines
Lee Corso's College GameDay schtick has for decades been his end-of-show prognostication of the day's feature game—usually involving his favored team's mascot. (Today he picked the hometown Gators to beat South Carolina, and even brought a baby alligator to the set.) But we mostly assumed his inte...

Dolphins Center Mike Pouncey's Newest Tattoo: Teardrop Andrew Jackson, Trollface Ulysses S. Grant, And Old West Bank Robber Ben Franklin
You have to admire the commitment to civic-mindedness, history, and patriotism, but that is one ugly tattoo. We do like giving Andrew Jackson the teardrop tattoo—a tattoo within a tattoo, probably symbolic of Old Hickory's involvement with the Indian Removal Act of 1830 that set in motion the Trail ...

The United Football League Is Too Broke To Finish The Season
The UFL, which began its season on Sept. 26, and which not too long ago signed a coverage deal for an undisclosed amount (nothing? a complimentary hat?) with CBS Sports, has canceled the second half of its season, as of today....
