David Foster Wallace's Interview With Roger Federer Lasted 20 Minutes
David Foster Wallace's 2006 Times Magazine profile of Roger Federer is one of sports journalism's most famous write-arounds. Or, as Wallace wrote himself, the piece was "a spectator’s experience of Federer, and its context." But the Times flew Wallace out to Wimbledon, so surely he got to spend some...

Arian Foster Took Special Exception To Dan Shaughnessy's Especially Terrible Texans Column
There's a good case to be made that the Patriots face an easy road to the AFC championship game. In recent weeks the Texans have looked less like the team that gored the league for the better part of the last two years and more like the reliably .500 team they were early in Gary Kubiak's tenure.

Four 4chan Users Won A Contest To Meet Arian Foster
The above image shows five 4chan users, the one in the middle being a running back for the Houston Texans.

Five-Star Recruit Decommits From Auburn University, Even Though He Got An Auburn Tattoo This Summer [UPDATE]

Arian Foster Is Vegan, Except For When He Eats Chicken
When Arian Foster announced that he was switching to a Vegan diet this summer, the doubters appeared. "If this doesn't work, I'm going to kick your ass," teammate Brian Cushing told him. Is it even possible to consume the however many thousands of calories a day hardworking NFL players burn through?...

Eric Foster Suffered A Gruesome Ankle Injury In Tonight's Bucs-Colts Game
I think it's safe to say Colts defensive tackle Eric Foster will not play again this season after his right foot got stuck under a teammate as he fell. It's kind of nasty, but you can just watch what happened....

Arian Foster Can't Stand Colin Cowherd, Either

Arian Foster Really Does Not Care About Your Fantasy Team
Foster, last season's rushing champion, tweaked his left hamstring in last night's 49ers-Texans preseason game. He hurt the same hamstring earlier in camp. He appreciates your concern about his semitendinosus, unless you are concerned simply because of your fantasy team....
Chad Ochocinco Says He Will Reimburse The Buccaneers Rookie Who Jacked Him Up And Got Fined $20K
Rookie Buccaneers linebacker Mason Foster may have two first names, but he doesn't have a lot of money. He's a rookie, and a third-round pick, which means $20,000 means more to him than it does to, say, Chad Ochocinco, the Patriots receiver Foster hit in last Thursday's preseason game....
Arian Foster Stays In Shape By Riding A Mechanical Bull While Jared From Subway Looks On
