Browns receiver Odell Beckham Jr. showed off his gams during Cleveland’s Week 6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks back in Week 6, wearing his uniform pants a couple inches above the knee.

Keenan Allen Remains Confident Broncos' Chris Harris Jr. Cannot Wield His Undergarments
Beef! We’ve beef in the world of football, pals, between a receiver and a cornerback who share a division, which is really the only way NFL beefs can dry-age their way to maximum succulence, outside of the aging racks of intense playoff action. I’m pretty well done with that beef metaphor now....

Everyone Mad At Ronald Acuña Jr. Over Baserunning
The Cardinals are mad at Braves superstar Ronald Acuña Jr. for how he ran the bases in Game 1 Thursday night. You can probably guess, that’s some musty “play the right way” bullcrap.

Gregg Williams Sure Looks Like A Big Stupid Dumbass This Morning
To be fair to Jets defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, he didn’t start the sniping with Odell Beckham Jr. last week. Beckham kicked things off by (rightfully) pointing out that Williams coaches his players to make dirty hits. Given that Beckham is very good and the Jets are... well, the Jets, Will...

This Sam Darnold Graphic Was The Jets' Only Bright Spot Against The Browns
There is no better representation of how poorly the Jets performed in their 23-3 loss against the Browns than the fact that this ESPN-created graphic of Sam Darnold executing a powerful commanding point while the word “mononucleosis” appears next to him boldly in all caps was likely the only thing t...

Turns out that’s only most of it. As Ronald Acuña Jr. learned in ...
