The Kansas City Chiefs host the Indianapolis Colts in this weekend’s playoff matchup, so Kansas City’s KCTV5 sent a helicopter out to get aerial shots of the city’s football stadium before the game.

Here’s a report from ESPN’s Chris Mortensen that threatens to suck all the juice out of tonight’s matchup between the Colts and the Titans, the winner of which will advance to the playoffs while the loser goes home to cry.

The Browns Sure Do Not Appear To Miss Hue Jackson Very Much
The Browns beat the shit out of the Bengals Sunday afternoon.

Tom Brady Gets Upstaged As A Receiver By An Opposing Quarterback, Again
Early in the fourth quarter of today’s Patriots-Titans game, New England ran a wide receiver passing play where Julian Edelman threw a six-yard pass to an open Tom Brady.

The Titans scored an uncommonly slick and cool touchdown in the third quarter of Monday night’s game against the Cowboys.

The Ravens' Defense Kicked Marcus Mariota's Ass

Report: Tigers Announcers Whose Beef Turned Physical Won't Be Back Next Year
The highlight of the Detroit Tigers’ season came when reports of a physical altercation between play-by-play man Mario Impemba and color commentator Rod Allen hit the internet.

Mike Vrabel Doesn't Have A Quarterback So He'll Play Two Quarterbacks
Titans coach Mike Vrabel is one week into his NFL head coaching career, and so far his contributions to the franchise have consisted of an obnoxious pregame workout routine and getting beat by the Dolphins. But he’s got a new wrinkle for Week 2: two quarterbacks at the same time....

Mario Balotelli Scores Wonderful Goal, Talks Shit About Referees
When last we heard from our favorite mohawked madman, Mario Balotelli, it right about this time last year as he came to the close of what turned out to be an unexpectedly impressive but still quintessentially Balotellian inaugural season with Nice in France. We are delighted to inform you that since...

The Browns Trade A QB, Receive A QB, And Still Need A QB
The Cleveland Browns are making moves, in the same way that a dead squid writhes after being covered in soy sauce. New GM John Dorsey pulled off three whole trades today, two of them involving quarterbacks, and neither of them involving A.J. McCarron....

Marion Bartoli On Returning To Tennis: "I Need To Prove To Myself That I'm Alive"

Marcus Mariota Throws Touchdown Pass To Himself
The Tennessee Titans are somehow still in this wild card game against the Chiefs thanks to Marcus Mariota throwing a touchdown pass to himself, entirely legally. PLAYOFFS, BABY. We believe this is only the second time this has ever happened in NFL history; here’s the first, in 1997:...

God, Remember Mario Hezonja?
The Orlando Magic fell way behind the Detroit Pistons Sunday afternoon, in no small part because instead of Aaron Gordon and Evan Fournier they had to start Shelvin Mack and Mario Hezonja. I know—you are scratching your head at how either Hezonja or Mack could possibly start in place of Gordon, a po...

Mike Wallace Snags A TD With Damarious Randall Glued All Over Him<em></em>
This throw from Joe Flacco looks extremely ill-advised on first glance, with Green Bay’s Damarious Randall giving no space and covering Mike Wallace perfectly as he runs towards the end zone. But somehow, Flacco found a seemingly nonexistent window to fit the ball through, and Randall could do nothi...

David Fizdale Calls Out Mario Chalmers: "His Brain Was Gone"
The Memphis Grizzlies are in a tough spot. They are a perennial playoff team on the descent, not good enough to do much more than scrap for tough wins every night and compete for a bottom-rung playoff spot. Things got a little worse last night, with star point guard Mike Conley on the bench with an ...

Eagles WR Complains About Being Fined For Block; Guy He Concussed Tells Him To Play Better
Wide receiver Bryce Treggs signed with the Eagles last September and caught a whopping three passes in his rookie season. He’s trying to make it onto the roster again this year, and a solid seven-catch preseason debut against the Packers might help his cause. However, Treggs also picked up a $25,000...
