Once An Afterthought, LeGarrette Blount Beats The Colts Down
Listed at 250 pounds, LeGarrette Blount is just a pound lighter than the Patriots' starting fullback, James Develin. He's not exactly a scatback. He's more of a supersized bowling ball over which someone had draped a jersey—a "north-south" runner, in scouting parlance, who in last night's 43-22 New ...
The Patriots Run All Over Colts, Advance To AFC Championship Game
The Patriots overwhelmed the Colts 43-22, but for a minute there it looked like Andrew Luck might actually be the next young quarterback to unseat the Patriots at home. Then LeGarrette Blount ran 73 yards and put that to rest....

Bill Belichick Sat Down With Bill Cowher And Was Actually A Human Being
The Bill Belichick rehabilitation tour is almost complete. First, it comes out that he likes Christmas songs, then we learned he actually smiles (limitedly) at the press and now, he hugs people. ...
Seahawks Beat Saints 23-15 Thanks In Part To Marques Colston's Stupidity
All Marques Colston needed to do was step out of bounds and give Drew Brees a shot at the end zone and, in turn, his Saints a shot at tying today's game in Seattle. Instead he decided to try his hand at quarterbacking himself—and cost his team that one chance at winning....

Report: A-Rod Suspended 162 Games, Will Continue Fight In Federal Court
Alex Rodriguez has been suspended 162 games and it comes as little surprise to anyone, including A-Rod. The suspension was reduced from the original 211 games handed down by Major League Baseball, but A-Rod is still unhappy and continues to blast Bud Selig and MLB's behavior in the Biogenesis invest...

Photo Evidence That J.R. Smith Continues To Give No Fucks
At this point, untying people's shoes is more of a J.R. Smith signature move than a fall-away, 23-foot jumper. Your thoughts, Adrian Wojnarowski? ...
Everybody Now Hates J.R. Smith
Yes, the ongoing J.R. Smith miniseries is funny. The fines, the suspensions, the tweets, the missed shots, the contract, the drama. But with his latest shoelace-related fine and accompanying benching, something of a boiling point appears to have been reached—media has turned hostile and the Knicks w...
<em>Wall Street Journal</em>: Bill Belichick Smiled Seven Times This Season
Patriots coach Bill Belichick is a mumbling, taciturn grump when it comes to speaking with media. But what about those rare instances when he doesn't look like he'd rather be anywhere else? A visibly happy Belichick is a rarely occurring natural phenomenon, like a blue moon or Halley's Comet. Fortun...
The Best Way To Have Tom Brady And Ed O'Neill Sign The Same Football
One might think that it's weird to have Tom Brady and Ed O'Neill autograph the same football, because it kind of is. But if you're going to try and pull off such a feat—hey, maybe you need a gift for your dear friend who loves the Patriots and middle-brow ABC comedies—do what reader Tom did:...
Hey, It's Three Years (And A Day) Since Marshawn Lynch Went Beast Mode
Three-year anniversaries aren't usually news pegs. (Three years and a day, even less so, but hey, we were busy.) Saturday's Saints-Seahawks playoff rematch makes it a little more defensible. But let's be honest—we don't really need reason to want to revisit and marvel over Marshawn Lynch's incredibl...
For Some Reason Louisville Has Intentionally Hired Bobby Petrino
Multiple reports, following Yahoo's Pat Forde, are saying that Bobby Petrino — liar, scoundrel, indifferent recruiter, proven winner — will be the new head coach at Louisville, the very program he ditched in 2006 for a short stint with the Atlanta Falcons....
As Greg Maddux Stories Go, This Is A Hard On To Top
When Greg Maddux was elected to the Hall of Fame today (thanks in part to you!!) the news was less that he'd made it, but that someone hadn't voted for him. We're in the second wave now: Maddux stories. Like his arm, they're better than most....
