What In The World Just Happened At The End Of <em>Monday Night Football</em>?
This is the farce we've been waiting for. Packers-Seahawks ended with a worthless extra-point attempt after the scab referees initially just let both teams go back to their respective locker rooms, having awarded Seattle a game-winning touchdown as time expired. That's the play up there: a Seaha...

It was a back-and-forth game in Oakland that ended with a Janikowski field goal, included a vicious hit on Darius Heyward-Bey that has him in the hospital as we speak, and saw an absurd Ben Rothlisberger performance wasted, which is the only way a Ben Rothlisberger anything knows....

The Cardinals Crushed The Eagles Because The Cardinals Might Actually Be Good, In Two GIFs
The Cardinals we're already up, so it's not like this is why they won, necessarily. They probably would have won anyway. But boy, this must have felt like shit for the Eagles: Down 17-0, they'd marched the ball all the way down to the Arizona one. On third and goal with six seconds left in the half...
"The Redskins Lost Because Their Comeback Ran Out Of Time, In One GIF
The Bengals beat the Redskins with a lot of interesting play calling and strong play from Andy Dalton and A.J. Green. But for a lot of the game, it seemed like the Redskins were just playing badly. At half time, it was 24-10 Washington, and people we're saying stuff like this:...

The Bills Beat The Browns And Everyone In The Press Box Survived, In One GIF
Today, the weather report for the neighborhood of Cleveland Browns Stadium said, "Rain is only occurring in a few spots."

An Arizona Turnover Against Oregon Last Night Resulted In One Of The All-Time Great Sideline Reactions
Oregon obliterated an inexplicably ranked Arizona team 49-0 last night, relying on its rapid-fire offense and five Wildcats turnovers to blow out Rich Rodriguez's squad. (Note to pollsters: beating a team you mistakenly ranked in the preseason shouldn't impress you.)...

Is Da'Rick Rogers About To Set An (FCS) Receiving Yards Record? [UPDATE: No]
Da'Rick Rogers has hit a couple pot holes in his college football career: he committed to Georgia, but went back on that commitment and drew the wrath of the Bulldog fan base.

The Ohio University Marching Band Doing That Gangnam Style Thing Is Actually Pretty Good
I wanted to hate it, you know? Hot viral microshare reblog blah blah blah. But I also wanted to hate the actual video, and that's obviously the shit, so what can you do? These stupid nerds rocked it.

ESPN Definitely Messed Up The Halftime Scoreboard For UK-Florida, But It's Not Because You Can't Score One Point
Yeah, that wasn't the score at all. It was 24-0, Florida, and we do not know why it said 17-1. However many of you wrote it in claiming that the score was not only incorrect, but necessarily incorrect, because a team could never have one point. Not so. It would take a blocked extra point, a recover...
Clemson Head Football Coach Got Ticketed For Speeding, And The Cop Got Fired
He didn't get fired because he stopped Dabo Swinney for speeding, he got fired because he posted about it on a message board later after feeling that he needed to "clear the air." Why he felt that way is not entirely clear, but, well, would you want to be the cop that gave Clemson's coach a ticket ...
