Joe Philbin Thinks Google Glass Comes Equipped With Lasers
We learn two things from the video below (autoplay, sorry), neither having anything to do with the Dolphins' lackluster running game. First, Google Glass is still basically Spy Tech for adults but second, and more importantly, these NFL press conferences are actually kind of sad....
For The First Time Ever, The Miami Heat Paid Rent
The financing on American Airlines Arena, which opened on Dec. 31, 1999, is unique. The Heat paid the full construction costs of the $213-million building, which is owned Miami-Dade County.

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.

Florida Ruined The NFL
Burn Florida. Sterilize the entire state of its NFL teams as you would an MRSA contamination. Float it into the Gulf, Bugs Bunny-style. Send the NFL to Los Angeles or London or Lucknow, anywhere but the Sunshine State—professional football cannot thrive on its saline soils. After an ugly, addled Mon...

An Emotional Shannon Sharpe Rips The Dolphins Locker Room
On CBS's pregame show, Shannon Sharpe had some very strong words for the Dolphins, less about their handling of the Incognito-Martin fallout, and more about a locker room that let things get to the point where a white player can call a teammate a "half-nigger" and it's supposed to be taken in good h...

This clip from the New York Jets edition of Hard Knocks is all you need to know about the efficacy of fighting and physical confrontations.
