Football is not the only sport with the potential for head injuries.

Let's Check In On Jay Cutler's Enthusiasm Levels
When running the wildcat, where a tailback takes the direct snap and the quarterback lines up out wide, the QB’s one job is to look like a threat. Sure, he’s probably not going to be thrown the ball. But he should at least make it appear to be enough of a possibility to draw a defender. With that sa...
Richard Sherman Says Fantasy Football Has Ruined Fans' Ability To Feel Sympathy For Injured Players
Late last night in the Seahawks’ 46-18 win over the Colts, rookie running back Chris Carson was tackled for no gain and ended up twisted down in a pile.

The Brewers Have Once Again Ruined Poor Kato Kaelin
Some might say the 2017 Milwaukee Brewers, coming off a 73-89 season, were one of the pleasant surprises of this regular season.

Max Scherzer had to leave his final start of the regular season in the fourth inning last night when he pulled up lame after throwing a pitch.

Stanford's Bryce Love Is The Real-Life Road Runner
With the loss of Heisman finalist and all-purpose record-breaker Christian McCaffrey, it seemed safe to say that Stanford’s running game would take a step back in 2017. In the first month of the season, however, junior running back Bryce Love has one-upped McCaffrey, as he’s built up a collection of...
Jay-Z Wears Kaepernick Jersey On <i>SNL</i>
