The Falcons Need Some New Fourth-Down Plays
The cat-and-mouse game of defensive scheming decided both playoff matches yesterday, but in different ways. In Denver, the Steelers stacked the box, daring Tim Tebow to throw. He did. But at the Meadowlands, on a pair of fourth down conversions, the Falcons telegraphed a pair of sneaks up the middle...
For Some Reason, The Chargers Did Not Fire Norv Turner And A.J. Smith
You probably have a friend who doesn't follow football that closely and thinks the Chargers are really great. He likes that they have Antonio Gates, who is a killer in fantasy, and Vincent Jackson.

Sean Williams Left It All On The Floor Tonight
The Mavericks' Sean Williams made the most of his 11 minutes in a 115-93 loss to Denver—the forward, who spent all of last season in the D-League, tallied 12 points—but it was his performance after returning to the bench that brought his teammates to their feet....

Deadspin I-Team: Is The "Boom Goes The Dynamite" Guy Joining The Army?
His name is Brian Collins. He is the unfortunate soul above that we have come to know and love. First, he was a student sportscaster at Ball State University.

A Partial Defense Of Joe Buck And Tim McCarver
"Buck should commentate funerals." "Fire this emotionless prick." "Buck makes Jim Nantz sound like Gus Johnson." "Tired and lame."

Torrey Smith Wants You To Know He Wasn't Tim Tebow When He Was In College

Pat White Now Joins A Storied History Of Mid-2000s West Virginia Football Failures
There's something that's a little dispiriting about what's happened to the 2005 West Virginia Mountaineers. Back then, they went 11-1, winning the Big East and the Sugar Bowl.
