Mike Tolbert Is Officially Too Big And Sexy For His Jersey
Panthers fullback Mike Tolbert is one of the more endearing players in the NFL, due in large part to the fact that he is the rare skill-position player who is actually capable of scoring fat-guy touchdowns. My appreciation for Tolbert grew immensely last night, when I noticed that the big man had ap...

Thomas Davis Breaks Arm, Vows To Play In Super Bowl Anyway
If there was a gloomy moment for the Panthers during their destruction of the Cardinals in the NFC Championship game, it was when linebacker Thomas Davis left the field with his right arm immobilized by the training staff.

Bruce Arians: Carson Palmer "Didn't Lose The Damn Game"

Von Miller And DeMarcus Ware Are Whirling Dervishes Of Death
The Broncos don’t put forth dominant or even good offensive performances anymore, but with a defense as terrifying as theirs, they don’t even need to be any better than competent on that side of the ball to win. In a weird way, the AFC Championship game was less tense for Broncos fans when Peyton Ma...

Report: Mike McCarthy Fed Up With Packers Management Refusing To Sign Free Agents
The Packers are notoriously skittish about signing free agents. They have signed a few big names over the years—Julius Peppers, Desmond Howard, Charles Woodson—but in general, they are committed to building through the draft. This is a great policy when it works (you’ll always have a cohesive, well-...

Boca Juniors And River Plate Combine For Five Red Cards, Nine Yellows, And One Brawl In A Friendly
