Did Michael Irvin Confront A Heckler At Last Night's Game? [UPDATE: He Did Not]
The picture above was sent to us by a tipster shortly after the conclusion of last night's Bills-Dolphins game. That appears to be the NFL Network's Michael Irvin attempting to enter the stands, and he doesn't look too happy. Here is what our tipster had to say about the photo:...

Michael Irvin Brought Out The PDA For Bills Running Back C.J. Spiller
The noisefest that is the Thursday Night Football post-game show on NFL Network usually proceeds like an unfunny version of TNT's Inside The NBA: full of wackiness, but lacking the charm or anything memorable.

Will We Ever Hear From These <em>Twilight</em> People Again?
Friday brings with it the end of the half-decade scourge of the Twilight films. There have been five of them, and I have to confess to you, I haven't seen a single one of them.

Police Officer Suspended For Dunking His Head In A Bucket Of Urine At A Browns Game
Is your pride worth $450? That's how much one Browns fan earned from his friends for sticking his head into a bucket of human piss, before Cleveland's Week 6 game last month. He was none the worse for wear, and the Browns won, so it seemed like the man identified only as "Phil" wouldn't regret his...

Even ESPN Deportes Is Subject To The Tebowization Of The Worldwide Leader
ESPN's Tebow obsession—one that even weaves its way into college basketball broadcasts—is so broad, it even extends to affiliate networks, as we saw yesterday during Cronómetro, the ESPN Deportes version of Pardon The Interruption.

Steve Young Gamely Tries To Explain That He Was Just Giving Rick Reilly A "Bro Stare"
Safe to say the one person who emerged from Rick Reilly's "I had that first on Twitter" debacle relatively unscathed was Steve Young, who at least had the presence of mind to get (by all appearances) seriously pissed off at Reilly's crowing over due credit, misguided as it was, with a death stare f...

Charlotte Bobcats Commit A Chris Webber, Escape Minnesota With A Win Anyway

The New York Jets have had a rough few days. Killed on the road in Seattle, killed by the media, and now killed—if you consider dismissing the throwing abilities of a backup quarterback who can't pass "killing"—by an anonymous member of their own defense. But do the Jets despair? Hell no. They made ...

Shooting America's Game: How I Made The NFL Come Alive In Photos
Neil Leifer began shooting big games as an eager teenager in the 1950s, sneaking into stadiums by any means necessary—he'd even volunteer to push wounded veterans around in their wheelchairs.
