Tom Brady Is A Hilarious Moron
There was an old episode of The Larry Sanders Show that aired right during the peak of the O.J. Simpson murder trial hysteria.

Tom Brady On Donald Trump: "He's A Good Friend Of Mine ... I Support All My Friends"
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady appeared for his regular interview on Dennis & Callahan this morning, and actually had to face a question about Donald Trump, a toupee someone found in a garbage can and stapled to a sweet potato.

Cam Newton, Goddamn

New York Giants Cut Damontre Moore After He Fought Cullen Jenkins Over Headphones
Damontre Moore is no longer a New York Giant after getting cut yesterday. Now why would the Giants cut a third-round pick in the middle of a *stifles laughter* playoff push? Well:...

These Are Fully Theo Epstein's Cubs Now
It still feels weird talking about the Cubs as a team trying to acquire the last few pieces for a championship run, rather than as one that needs to rebuild from the ground up, but that’s where we are: with the reigning Cy Young winner and some of the best young hitters in the game, Chicago doesn’t ...

What Was Bill Belichick Thinking?
If the season ended today, the Patriots would have to play (against the Jets!) on wild-card weekend. It’s a quick turnaround for a team, that just two games ago, had its sights set on another perfect regular season. But life comes at you fast, and if it’s entirely normal that New England would strug...
