Tony Romo Calls Out LB Jameel McClain As The Mike; McClain Disagrees
Quarterbacks call out the Mike linebacker all the time in football. The purpose is so the offensive line knows which defensive players to block, using the Mike as a starting point. (Here's a quick, good explanation for the unfamiliar.) When Tony Romo identified Giants linebacker Jameel McClain as ...
Indiana's Shane Wynn Goes 75 Yards On Reverse, Embarrasses Michigan St.
Michigan State is supposed to be one of the best teams in the country, but they looked ridiculous in the second quarter today against Indiana as they allowed the Hoosiers' Shane Wynn to go 75 yards for a touchdown on a reverse. They had plenty of chances to tackle Wynn; it seems they just chose no...

Jets Fan Reacts To Loss Not With Anger, But Complete Emotional Shutdown
This guy's probably reacted to Jets losses with fury and/or screaming in the past, but maybe he's just sick of it, it being everything.

No, The Refs Didn't Illegally Help The Patriots Line Up Last Night
This is a silly thing, but it's gotten enough traction on Twitter, and enough tipsters have emailed us Zapruder breakdowns of it that we may as well address it. No, the ref nudging a New England linebacker out of the infraction zone on the Patriots' game-winning field goal block wasn't enacting a le...
The Jets Invented A Whole New Way To Lose Last Night
One of the new jack football axioms is that you run when you win, not win when you run. It's insulation against the backwards idea that successful offenses are built around a dominant running game, and more of a guideline than a hard truth. Leave it to the Jets to stretch even benign football wisdom...

Amar'e Stoudemire Bathes In Red Wine, For Some Damn Reason
This morning, Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire posted a photo of himself bathing in red wine on his Instagram page. At the time, I honestly did not believe he was actually bathing in red wine, because why would a person do that? I was wrong. Amar'e Stoudemire bathes in wine all the damn time....
Giants Brief Players On Ebola Before Trip To Dallas
Given America's infrastructure and standards of medical care, we realistically have very little to fear from the West African Ebola outbreak that recently arrived in Dallas. At the same time, it's hard to blame anyone for wanting to learn more about the disease, and that includes the NFL, which this...
TV Reporter Gets The Crap Scared Out Of Him By Screaming Royals Fan

No, That Eagles Employee Wasn't Celebrating Victor Cruz's Injury
Up there is the front page of today's New York Daily News: a guy in an Eagles polo seemingly gloating over a crumpled, injured Victor Cruz on the ground. "PHILTHY," indeed. Of course, the photo captures only one frame. What do moving pictures show?...
