A Three-Man Front Is A Late-Game Defensive Formation For Suckers
The weekend, as I watched the absurd denouement of the Northwestern-Michigan game, something struck me as familiar — beyond the now-routine bumblefuckery that inspires the Wildcats to turn fourth-quarter leads into triple-overtime losses. No, it wasn't simply that Michigan drove in the dregs of game...
Jason Babin Rips Out A Handful Of Andre Ellington's Dreads
Are those extensions? Why does Andre Ellington not look like he's in immense pain after Jason Babin walks away with some of Ellington's hair in his hand? Hair is allowed to be yanked for a tackle in the NFL, and Babin took advantage of that. Ow....

The Jaguars suck this year, everyone knows that. But what if we peel back that superficial layer of suck, and delve deeper into the fetid onion that is the 2013 Jacksonville Jaguars? It's actually astonishing how terrible this team is....

Justin Blackmon Suspended Again, Done For The Season

Sources: Some Jaguars Players Got Beat Up In London After Sunday's Game
We don't have any names, but we do have two stories from two different sources, probably about the same group of players.

Jackson State To Sue Grambling For Boycotting Its Homecoming Game
The Grambling football players' decision not to travel for Saturday's game left its opponent in a lurch. It was homecoming for Jackson State, which earned a forfeit win but suddenly had less than 24 hours to come up with some alternative programming for all those returning alumni. Jackson State ende...

Jim Leyland Smokes Out A Winner
From those who consider "old-school" a derisive term, Jim Leyland tends to get a pass because he's just plain old. He's the guy who took advantage of the power outage in Game 3 to light up a Marlboro Red in the dugout. He's the guy who, after Detroit fell 1-0 to go down in the ALCS, laid down on his...
Could Modern Medicine Have Saved Bo Jackson's Career?
I was too young to remember watching him play, but the unifying tone of wonderment emanating from anyone who saw Bo Jackson crack a 500-foot home run or bulldoze an obnoxious Brian Bosworth into traction has never washed with the plainness of the injury that ended his career. It doesn't make sense. ...
