The Chiefs Should Terrify The AFC

The AFC’s elite teams are all limping toward the finish line. The Bengals are relying on a backup quarterback who’s most famous for having a girlfriend who aroused Brent Musberger, and you couldn’t describe the Broncos’ new starter as much else besides ‘Tall’ (and, I suppose, ‘Injured’ and maybe ‘Va...

How Sony Changed<i> Concussion </i>To Make The NFL (Or Their Lawyers) Happy

Concussion arrived in theatres on Christmas, as the Will Smith vehicle finally reached the public after earning mixed critical reviews.

The Arizona Cardinals Are Absurdly Deep

With a dodgy offensive line and an unreliable running game, the Packers haven’t been as strong as usual this year, but the Cardinals made them look like a fourth-place team on Sunday. Arizona pasted Green Bay in a 38-8 win that revealed why Bruce Arians’s team is so scary: Their depth chart is stack...

Latest Miko Grimes Twitter Rant Torches Ryan Tannehill

Miko Grimes, the wife of Miami CB Brent Grimes, has never been shy about sharing her feelings on the Dolphins, more specifically that everyone who’s not her husband is trash.

Bill Belichick Had A Plan, It Just Backfired Completely

By now we know that the Patriots’ decision to kick off to start overtime wasn’t a mistake—or at least, not the one it appeared to be at the time. New England never touched the ball in their 26-20 OT loss to the Jets, and while the outcome wasn’t by design, the strategy was. Whether or not it was a w...

John Wall Is Pretty Grumpy About Kyrie Irving Leading Him In All-Star Votes

All-star fan voting almost never results in an accurate representation of the most worthy players.

Kyrie Irving is sl...

Jason Peters Pulled Himself Out Of Eagles Loss To Avoid Risk Of Injury

The Philadelphia Eagles needed to beat Washington at home last night to stay in playoff contention.

Obviously, the Eagles wer...

Kirk Cousins's Enormous Boner Wastes Scoring Opportunity

Kirk Cousins responded to a week of positive coverage, for once, by committing a huge blunder.

Liverpool Storm Four Men On Open-Goal Fast Break, Still Don't Score

Liverpool beat Leicester City 1-0 at Anfield today, holding the league’s most surprising team scoreless for the first time all season.
