Rob Ryan: Large And In Charge

New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan had lap-band surgery in 2012, a couple years after his brother Rex did. That September, he had reportedly lost 55 pounds.

Let's Talk About The Secret To Gregg Williams's Success

We told you earlier in the week how Gregg Williams was simultaneously reinstated by the NFL and hired by the Tennessee Titans. But that's not entirely true, is it?

NFL Reinstates Gregg Williams, And He's Already Been Hired By The Titans

On Further Review, Roger Goodell Fucked Up This NFL Season From End To End

Cowboys-Redskins was the biggest matchup of the year, a win-or-go-home game for two division rivals. It turned out to be the most-watched regular-season sporting event in 15 years.

Drew Brees Is Now Being Used To Sell Bath Salts (The Kind You Smoke)

This should be obvious, but if you want to sell narcotic bath salts masquerading as aromatherapy powder, there's no better packaging than Drew Brees, photoshopped to make it look like he's wearing Heath Ledger's Joker makeup (we think). It's basic marketing. Unfortunately, Blue Brees, the hot new d...

Sean Payton Will Be Coaching The Saints For A Long Time

Cowboys fans were pre-disappointed last week, so this probably doesn't sting too badly: Two months after the NFL voided Sean Payton's contract with the Saints, sending fans in New Orleans into a gumbo-gobbling stress-eating binge, Payton has re-upped with the Saints for multiple years. Jay Glazer re...
