Tim Tebow Played Injured. Get Used To It.
On a play early in the second half, Tebow was hit just after releasing a pass. He suffered torn rib cartilage, a bruised lung, and fluid buildup in his chest. It must have been excruciating—he had an MRI Monday after he couldn't sleep through the pain—but he showed no outward signs of being injured,...
Man Agrees To Drink An Entire Bottle Of Tabasco If Tebow Loses To The Patriots, Pukes
Amateur cinematography aside, this is an oddly compelling watch. Textbook storytelling, actually. The tension slowly builds—A hero's quest, will he actually do it? I don't think he's going to do it—rising action—he's getting ready, he may actually do it— climax—oh my god he did it!—and then, denou...

Tom Brady's Punt Finally Brought Some Life To The Broncos Defense, If By Life You Mean Punches
Blame Von Miller for this dirty hit that is an unfortunate coda to his otherwise spectacular season. But quick kicks always tend to result in some kind of craziness; like turnovers, they put players outside their comfort zone. In this case, it was reason for Miller to go on an assault mission, th...

Josh McDaniels Is Back With The Patriots
The Patriots are going to need an offensive coordinator next year since the chinhole-y Bill O'Brien will be leaving for Penn State. Rather than wait to fill that void, the Patriots will reportedly welcome the asshole-y Josh McDaniels back into the fold....
I-Team: Why Does New Penn State Coach Bill O'Brien Have A Hole In His Chin?
New England Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien agreed last night to take the head coaching job at Penn State. O'Brien, like Joe Paterno, graduated from Brown and has since coached at Georgia Tech, Maryland, and Duke. He's never before had a head coaching job and ran the Patriots' offense fo...
Albert Haynesworth Is The Worst
From Peter King: "Great note by @AdamSchefter: Bucs are 0-7 with Albert Haynesworth, Pats are 7-0 since waiving him." Three cheers for the disgruntled one!...
Floyd Mayweather Jr. Bet $1 Million Against Tim Tebow
Two weeks ago, the New England Patriots walked all over the Denver Broncos in a 41-23 win. More importantly, Mayweather got rich—well, richer. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that Mayweather had $1 million on the Patriots. The director of the Cantor Gaming sports book at the M Resort, Mike Colb...
Elvis Dumervil Made Tom Brady Fear For His Life
Sure, the Patriots throttled the Broncos 41-23. But New England's victory didn't come at the expense of a little of Tom Brady's machismo, as the horrified look in his eyes upon this sack by Elvis Dumervil was more apropos for someone who wears Uggs. Which, I guess, means it's apropos—period. ...
The Worst Way To Find Out Santa Isn't Real: From A Patriots Punter
FOX in Boston did a spot with Julian Edelman and Zoltan Mesko at the Patriots' annual charity event. Interesting choice of players since Edelman's Jewish and Mesko, being Romanian, probably worships the Great Fire Eagle or something. As a kicker, the reporter asked the pair what they want for Chri...
Here's Tom Brady's Bitchfest With An Assistant Coach
Up a touchdown late in the Patriots' battle in Washington, Tom Brady threw an interception in the Redskins' end zone then threw a tantrum on his own sideline with New England assistant coach Bill O'Brien. The two eventually had to be separated, though CBS analyst Dan Dierdorf would have you think...
Just Gronk Bein' Gronk
Rob Gronkowski set the NFL season record for TD catches by a tight end today with his 14th grab, but it was set up by this remarkable play in which the porn star-loving Patriot managed to stay on his feet long enough to turn a short gain into a... longer one. [CBS]...
Head Injuries Make Rob Gronkowski Giggle

Let's Watch The Patriots' Julian Edelman Somewhat Improbably Return This Punt For A Touchdown
Julian Edelman's been everywhere on the field for the Patriots tonight—making tackles on coverage teams and now returning a punt 72 yards to paydirt. It made for 24 (and counting) unanswered points against the Chiefs, and you probably forgot that he's done this before....
