An Assistant Coach Bumped Into Mike Shanahan And He Reacted Like A Cat Being Dropped In A Bathtub
Woah there, Mike! A little high-strung? Pressure situation, tough decisions, big games: do not bump into Mike Shanahan; he will claw your eyes out. Anyway, that assistant coach is now fired, so good luck to him in his job search....

Nate Washington Scores Touchdown, Does Willie Beamen Dance From <i>Any Given Sunday</i>
Nothing quite like an homage to a 13-year-old film. But there's Nate Washington of the Tennessee Titans doing the Willie...Willie Beamen dance after cutting New England's lead to 21-10 (after PAT; now 28-10). Lot of embarrassing celebrations out of this one. [CBS]...
Randy Moss Is Back In Green Bay Today
Randy Moss returns to the scene of a disgusting act this afternoon. His new team, the San Francisco 49ers will be visiting his old rival, the Green Bay Packers. Moss put up some impressive numbers in Green Bay. He also mimingly took down his pants. A lot of the players in today's game were playing h...
Robert Griffin III's First Touchdown Pass Was An 88 Yard Strike
There’s a lot of excitement in Washington, D.C. these days and here is the primary reason. The Saints scored on a quick play of their own and Griffin comes right back and hits Garcon for 88 yards.

Your NFL Week One Open Thread
So many games! So much sweet, sweet football. Yak here, and we'll link back for the afternoon and night games as well. Suggested topics: scab refs and Tim Tebow. Just kidding, don't talk about that bullshit. (Unless the refs fuck up [which they will].)...

It's finally here. Sunday football. Wednesday was cool and all, but this is the day that really counts. For the remainder of the day you will watch football and only football and it will be awesome.

Florida State Didn't Cover Against Savannah State Because They Played With A Running Clock And Ended The Game Halfway Through
Yesterday, we talked about Savannah State football throwing itself on the altar of an increased budget for the school's athletic department; today, we see the absurd fallout that can result from a cupcake game no one is particularly invested in. The Tigers had been slaughtered 84-0 by Oklahoma State...
Are The Dolphins Really Super Bowl Contenders?
Oh my goodness, no. No, no, no. But it's the first week of the season! Anything is possible. In a few hours football becomes a reality, but for now, we can still dream. The Dolphins can dream that they will win more than they will lose. The Colts can dream that Andrew Luck will be just as good as Pe...
Beer of the Week: 1488 Premium Whisky Beer
The first time I tried a beer that had been aged in whiskey casks was in Scotland, at some Edinburgh pub where I'd asked for something tasty and local. The barkeep brought me an Innis & Gunn, instantly melting my brain. It was like the love child of ale and brown liquor, and possibly the only settin...

Denard Robinson Had More Offense Than Michigan's Offense Today
Some stock car named Denard Robinson suited up for Michigan today and accomplished more offense than the entire Michigan offense. This sounds impossible but it is not.

Jimmer Fredette Is Shilling For An "Emergency Food Storage Company"
Ah, weird athlete endorsements. Along with a rat pack that includes Sean Hannity, Dennis Miller, and Glenn Beck, Sacramento Kings guard Jimmer Fredette endorses Daily Bread, a company that packages food that they claim will last up to 25 years. Who needs food that will last up to 25 years? Well, t...
Weekend Read: D Magazine on Young Tony Romo
Tony Romo, who is 32 and in his prime as an NFL quarterback, comes from an altogether different era. That's all I can draw from the current issue of D Magazine, in which Peter Simek drills down into a single high-school game to explain Romo's ascent from small-town jock-of-all-trades to a guy with t...
Deadspin Up All Night: Dead In The Middle Of Little Italy
Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. I have more, I think Sam has more, Burke's around, Sean'll be here tomorrow, and guess what: NFL, all day. Should be a blast.
