Fuck These Motherfuckers

Frothing, militaristic football coaching has always relied on the premise that in order to win, players need to be trained and disciplined to the point of breaking down, so that their temperament and habits can be rebuilt in line with the goals and ambitions of the team. It’s a gnarly, brutal way of...

Tre Boston Thinks NFL Teams Are Colluding To Underpay Safeties

Statistically, Tre Boston was one of the NFL’s better cover safeties last season, when he played for the Chargers.

Kenny Stills, Malcolm Jenkins, Other NFL Players Continue To Protest Racial Injustice During Anthem

The NFL preseason has never really mattered except in the context of players busting their ankles or getting otherwise torn before the real games even start, but in 2018, it’s also a bellwether for how socially conscious football players are responding to the NFL’s increasingly thoughtless and grasp...

Cam Newton Seems Miffed That Kelvin Benjamin Said He Sucked

Wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin is about to begin his first full season in Buffalo, after three-and-a-half years with the Carolina Panthers, and one might think that this move up north would be a downgrade for a wideout used to playing with Cam Newton.

Why Your Team And Pizza Mogul And Claymation Furniture Pitchman And Tech Mogul Suck

As a great American thinker has honked: We’re back. Drew and I have both returned from our time away from the podcast and pretty well recovered from the indignities that the sun inflicted on our ghastly and rapidly deteriorating indoor bodies during that absence. I am not trying to oversell anything...

Alvin Kamara Still Isn't Fucking Over That Minneapolis Miracle Shit<em></em>

Bleacher Report’s Master Tesfatsion went long on Saints running back Alvin Kamara, who’s described as a “reluctant star.” Kamara, the reigning NFL offensive rookie of the year, really opened up to Tesfatsion, especially on the topic of the Minneapolis Miracle that bounced the Saints from the playoff...

Marquette King Is Beefing With An Entire Denver Radio Station For Some Reason

Pro Football Hall Of Fame Considers Rule Change To Make Attendance Mandatory

Every sport gets the hall of fame it deserves. That’s why baseball has a bunch of old, weird prisses gatekeeping, and why hockey honored Jeremy Jacobs before Willie O’Ree, and why the Pro Football Hall of Fame loves insane, sanctimonious asshole Ray Lewis but might change its own rules because of Te...

The Browns Have Turned Yet Another First-Round Pick Into A Bag Of Shit

American sports are set up to all but guarantee that a franchise as putrid as the Cleveland Browns cannot remain putrid for eternity.

Ray Lewis's Hall Of Fame Speech Was Actual Frothing Madness

Ray Lewis was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. He gave a speech. It was an exhausting performance, and not just because Lewis was stomping around the stage and holding poses with all the staccato swagger of the lead singer of an ‘80s hair metal band, mid-ballad. It was also a...
