The Odds Are Getting Better That <i>You</i> Are Going To Start In Goal For The Flyers This Season
Stability in goal doesn’t necessarily correlate with success, but the converse is almost always true.

New Raiders GM Mike Mayock Says Jon Gruden Will Have Final Say On Personnel Moves
Jon Gruden rolled into Oakland and traded away two of the team’s best players, led his remaining scrubs to a 4-12 campaign, and in the meantime executed a front-office coup that left GM Reggie McKenzie frozen out and eventually fired. McKenzie was replaced by TV pundit Mike Mayock, who yesterday adm...
The Jets Failed To Clean House
Todd Bowles was doomed. That much was clear seven weeks ago, after a 41-10 home loss to the Bills, who were starting a fourth-string quarterback in another lost season of their own. The question for the Jets on this Black Monday is why general manager Mike Maccagnan got a reprieve....

The Chargers Clinched A Playoff Berth In Extremely Ballsy Fashion
The Chiefs went up two touchdowns with just over eight minutes left in the fourth quarter Thursday night, on a Damien Williams one-yard plunge to cap a 13-play drive.

The Flames Can't Keep Winning Like This, But It's Going To Be Fun To Watch Them Try
The Calgary Flames are not hard to figure out. A young, explosive team that will go only so far as its goaltending will take it—which, in any half-logical outcome, is not very far. But inexplicably, old man Mike Smith has been red-hot over the last month, and unheralded backup David Rittich red-hot ...
What The Hell Happened With Ben Roethlisberger On Sunday?
Sunday’s loss to the Tankin’ Grudens has sent Yinzer Nation into a full-on panic.

Nationals Somehow Add New Layers Of Humiliation To Loss Of Bryce Harper

Good Job, Whoever's Doing These Beautifully Dumb Seahawks Videos
With the Legion of Boom falling apart—Kam Chancellor retired, Richard Sherman went to the 49ers, Earl Thomas was treated like shit then broke his leg and flipped off his sideline—the Seattle Seahawks looked like a team reaching the end of an era. To their credit, they’re 7-5 and in position for a pl...

Sounds Like Aaron Rodgers And Mike McCarthy Are Pretty Well Sick Of Each Other
Sports Illustrated’s Kalyn Kahler went long on the simmering frustrations inside the Green Bay Packers, who are 4-6-1 and careening toward a second straight playoff-less season.

Enjoy Your Mike McCarthy Bloopers While You Can
Mike McCarthy. Here is a man. A man who has not simply persevered, not merely endured, but who has continued to push himself further, faster, harder in his pursuit of a very distinctive type of mediocrity, even as the naysaying multitudes cried out, in a superficially polite Wisconsin-accented way, ...
Mike McCarthy Shouldn't Be Coaching The Packers Anymore
A couple of times in his career, when his Packers looked to be struggling, Aaron Rodgers has remained cool and told people to chill out with some memorable quote that becomes kind of a motto for the rest of the team’s season.
