How A Comedian Helped Birth The "F-You" Patriots

The next 15 games—all of which the Patriots won—were blowouts a lot like that, but with a venomous edge. In his new book, War Room, which h...

Vontae Davis Was Benched Because He Showed Up To Practice Reeking Of Booze
Because EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING in sports right now, this one has kind of passed under the radar. It shouldn't.

Caroline Wozniacki And Rory McIlroy Obnoxiously Remind Us That They Are Nos. 1 And 2 In The World
We should only be so cynical about young love, but young love should only give itself so many insufferable personalized nicknames and offer so many reminders that the young people in question—the Wozz in "Wozzilroy" is 21 years old and the Ilroy is 22—hold the best and second-best world rankings in ...

John Beck Ate It Hard
If we're going to declare the John Beck era a failure, we can't just look at the fourth-worst passer rating in the league (ahead of Rex!), or the twice as many INTs and TDs, or the zero passes for 40+ yards.

Mike Wallace Intercepted Ben Roethlisberger Pass Intended For Antonio Brown, Scored Touchdown
What a play by all involved. Big Ben scrambled and kept the play alive while Mike Wallace followed his quarterback, adjusted his route and made a big play. That only leaves Antonio Brown.
