Travis Kelce Was Pissed
Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has mostly avoided earning himself a reputation as a hothead or a malcontent, this despite his willingness to do things like throw a towel at an official and do jerkoff motions on the field (I don’t think you need me to tell you exactly how Kelce has avoided such labels...

Antonio Brown Livestreams Mike Tomlin Calling The Patriots Assholes
Bless Antonio Brown, who decided it would be fun to broadcast a live stream of the Steelers’ locker room after their victory over the Chiefs. And it was fun! Guys were dancing and laughing and I genuinely appreciated getting a look into a joyful NFL locker room. I also appreciated Brown recording he...

Aaron Rodgers Was Playing Backyard Ball
Moments after Mason Crosby’s last-second field goal gave the Packers a 34-31 win over the Cowboys and a trip to the NFC championship game, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was asked about his season-saving completion to tight end Jared Cook. “It’s just kind of schoolyard at times, late in the game ...

Last Night Was Probably Devin Hester's Swan Song
The Seattle Seahawks lost 36-20 to the Atlanta Falcons last night, but you can’t place any blame for the loss on Seahawks return man Devin Hester. His 50-yard kickoff return in the second quarter led to a field goal, and a few minutes later his 80-yard punt return was negated by a holding penalty. H...

Angry Fan Throws Eggs At Chargers' Headquarters
The San Diego Chargers are on the cusp of officially moving to Los Angeles, bringing an end to a years-long breakup process that has understandably left Chargers fans with a bad taste in their mouths. One guy was so fed up that he went down to the Chargers’ building and hucked some dang eggs at it:...

That Last Alabama Drive Was Terrifying
More than any other team in sports, Alabama football feels the most futile to root against. Over and over, they’ve stamped out nascent comebacks with two well-timed turnovers or turned a 14-10 game into a 28-10 game in two minutes of work. These are the sorts of ways you can win games when you’re bi...

Odell Beckham Jr. Is Furious And Correct
You don’t need me to tell you that Odell Beckham Jr. spending last Monday on a boat with Justin Bieber and Trey Songz didn’t have anything to do with him dropping three passes in yesterday’s loss to the Packers. Even the New York tabloid press, to which a story like Beckham’s is red meat, hasn’t rea...

Where Is Jim Irsay And What Is Going On With The Colts?
Colts head coach Chuck Pagano and GM Ryan Grigson have spent the last few seasons conspiring to waste Andrew Luck’s prime and turn their team into one of the saddest sacks in the sad-sack AFC South. It’s reasonable, then, that everyone was prepared to see some blood spilled after the season ended, b...

Chip Kelly Is Playing The Game
The NFL is lousy with head coaches who have been given multiple chances at running a team despite achieving little on-field success. A coach can fail, get fired, and still find himself patrolling a sideline within a year, and the best way to go about pulling off such a feat is to control one’s own n...

Jed York Finally Ensures No Good Coach Will Work For Him Any Time Soon<em></em>
It’s hard to believe that, not that long ago, the San Francisco 49ers were a good team with a good head coach. It’s been a disaster since owner Jed York shuffled off Jim Harbaugh in December of 2014, and yesterday’s dual firing of head coach Chip Kelly and general manager Trent Baalke has put the fr...
