Your Belated Monday Night Football Open Thread
Sorry folks—busy feeding Nibbles. But don't despair, your place to discuss the Eagles and Saints is right here. Maybe we can speculate about whether Sean Payton will be taking his rough and tumble riverboat gambler bravado show on the road. Or...basically anything about the Eagles. You know the dri...
Ben Folds Five Wants To Be The Charlotte Bobcats' Pep Band
The Charlotte Bobcats won their opener the other night, which is an occasion in and of itself.

Chiefs Head Coach Romeo Crennel Fires Defensive Coordinator Romeo Crennel
Outside of an overtime win against the Saints, the Chiefs have been unwatchable this season. The team's most damning mark of failure is the fact that it hasn't held a lead in regulation in its first seven games, a streak that remains intact after Thursday's 31-13 loss to the Chargers....

Jerry Jones Was Locked Out Of The Cowboys' Locker Room
The Cowboys lost last night, but that's not good enough to sate the bloodlust of fans who want them to lose spectacularly, or painfully, because Dallas used to be good 15 years ago. Tony Romo didn't cooperate, failing to turn the ball over even once, let alone at a crucial moment late in the game. L...
Tampa Bay Rookie Doug Martin Just Put In One Of The Best Rushing Performances Of All Time
His four touchdowns sets a Tampa Bay Bucs franchise record, his 250 yards made him tied for number ten on the all-time single game rushing yards list, his three touchdown runs for 45 yards or more-he went for 70, 63 and 45-made him the first ever to accomplish that feat in a game. And the runs were...

Alabama Escapes Death (Valley): Angling For Three, A Screen Pass Goes For 28 Yards And Wins It

Can Aqib Talib Save The Patriots?
The Patriots' pass defense is miserable in 2012, just like it was in 2011. Football Outsiders ranks them 23rd in the league, and, two weeks ago, they allowed Mark Sanchez to complete 68.3 percent of his passes for 321 yards. I need say no more....
