1. There's a moment in Paul Greengrass' United 93, one of the best films of the last decade, in which we are invited not to sympathize with the hijackers of Flight 93, exactly, but at least take a look at them as humans, if just for a moment. They're monsters, but they're people, on that plane, too,...
What Would A Jaguars-Alabama Betting Line Look Like?
There's a dude at my gym who blasts Linkin Park through his Beats when he's in the locker room. But he doesn't WEAR his headphones. He uses them as speakers and plays the butt rock loud enough so that he can hear them without putting them on all the way. And then he sings along. That's grounds for m...
Jadeveon Clowney Shouldn't Play Until He Gets Paid
South Carolina's all-world DE Jadeveon Clowney didn't play this weekend with a muscle strain, or maybe bruised ribs, and also some bone spurs in his foot. He's not been particularly clear on the ailment, or the state of his recovery, and the Gamecocks were surprised and confused that Clowney himself...
The NFL Can Now Force Teams To Appear On <em>Hard Knocks</em>
After peaking with the Jets, Hard Knocks has had a hell of a time finding teams to go under the documentary microscope for training camp. After a string of refusals the 2012 edition settled for the boring Dolphins, and though the Bengals stepped up this year, it was another forgettable season. But t...
Mark Sanchez, The Cheerleader: Your <i>Monday Night Football</i> GIF Roundup
New York 30, Atlanta 28: So that was a surprisingly entertaining game. The Jets won on a 44-yard field goal as time expired but this play from Julio Jones is your play of the game.

What's More Improbable: The Jaguars' +28 Line Or An 11-Inch Penis?
The murmurs began last week, before the Broncos put up 51 points against the Cowboys and the Jaguars lost second-overall pick Luke Joeckel to injury. And when the dust of Week 5 had settled, sure enough, the betting line for Jaguars at Broncos was set at 28 points, which is a lot....
Jaguars-Broncos Opens With The Largest Point Spread In NFL History
It's happening. Sunday's Jaguars-Broncos tilt in Denver has opened with the Broncos anywhere from 27- to 28-point favorites. If that holds—and one sportsbook manager told us he still expects most of the money to come in on Denver—it'd be the largest spread in NFL history....

<em>Hard Knocks</em> Parody Puts The Show In A Pee Wee Football Training Camp
This, from Funny or Die, is the first episode of Little Knockers, a Hard Knocks parody that gives us what we've always wanted: a Rex Ryan-inspired football coach screaming and cursing at a bunch of 11-year-old boys. It's worth watching just for the chance to see Jerry from Parks and Rec point at kid...
Eli's Derpiest Interception Yet: Your Week 5 Early Games Roundup
Eagles 36, Giants 21: Take a good look at everything awful in that Eli Manning GIF. The face. The bad pocket. The pass bouncing off a teammate's head. This is the perfect representation of an 0-5 team. For the record, that pass ended up being an interception. Mike Vick was also hurt, but it doesn't...
