Did You Hear About This? The Giants Have Two Players Named Eli, And They Traded The Wrong Freakin' One!
Today, the New York Giants traded Eli ... cornerback Eli Apple, that is. Ah, did you think it’d be their once-great, now-disintegrating quarterback Eli Manning? Don’t you look like an ass, now! It was in fact their underwhelming defensive player, who’s going to the Saints for some late picks....

Ass Team Of The Week: Sean McDermott Cooked Up The Butt Meat And Derek Anderson Is Serving It
When watching the very bad football games that I have to watch in order to write this series, I sometimes like to play a game called How Long Can They Hide The Ass?

Derek Carr Denies Crying During Game: "Not One Tear. Not One Time."

Report: Derek Carr Has Lost The Confidence Of His Teammates, Possibly Because He Cried
Derek Carr, like the Raiders’ season, is well and ruined. The 27-year-old quarterback, who just two seasons ago looked like he would be the steady hand guiding the Raiders’ offense for the next decade or so, is now a lame duck. Khalil Mack is gone, Amari Cooper is gone, the Gruden-designed rebuild i...
The Bills Did Not Get The Derek Anderson Renaissance, But They'll Give It Another Shot

Ah, but therein lies a conundrum: When Derek Ander...

Patrick Peterson "Desperately" Wants Out Of Arizona
The Arizona Cardinals are ass. Even in a sea of NFL ass, they are a deadly, towering ass iceberg. An assberg. They are 1-6 but spiritually 0-16. Patrick Peterson has had enough....
Raiders Officially Pack It In, Trade Amari Cooper To The Cowboys

At the start of the video below, a bald Texans fan is being held back by a man wearing a Jaguars Pete Mitchell jersey.

DeVante Parker's Agent Calls Adam Gase "Incompetent," Says The Coach Should "Make Himself Inactive"
Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker has appeared in two games this season, but “appeared” is a word with a lot of wiggle room. He was targeted just three times in Week 3, and was only on the field for four snaps in Week 6. He’s otherwise been struggling with injury, first a broken finger and then ...
My Goodness, The Jaguars Are A Mess
It is remarkable just how quickly a team that was one competent quarter away from the Super Bowl, and still looked like world-beaters two weeks into this season, has so completely fallen apart. Remarkable not for the why of it—injuries have taken out their top wide receiver, top running back, top tw...
