The 49ers Almost Had A Chance To Win A Game

Scott Tolzien In Primetime: Today's Guide To Ignoring The NFL

Antonio Brown Was Just About Perfect
There’s no such thing as a “perfect game” for a wide receiver, but if such a thing did exist, Antonio Brown came very close to pitching one last night....
Josh Norman Got Himself A New Arch Enemy In Dez Bryant
I think it’s fair to say that the guy who came out of the Great Football Beef of 2015 looking the most like a hothead was Odell Beckham Jr. But yesterday’s game between Washington and Dallas, which included Norman getting into it with Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant during and after the game, was a...

Whoever Hacked Marcell Dareus Did A Good Job
Early this morning, the above post appeared on the Instagram feed of Bills defensive tackle Marcell Dareus. Next to a perhaps unflattering photo of himself, Dareus appears to torch the NFL, the Bills, Rex Ryan, the team’s owner, its fans, and its fans’ kids before quitting altogether so he can smoke...
Jay Cutler's Time In Chicago Is Probably Over With
As Barry wrote a month ago, Jay Cutler is highly unlikely to return to the Chicago Bears next year. He’s 33 years old and the Bears have to pay him $16 million dollars if they keep him next year, which would be an outrageous amount to pay the disgruntled sort-of-good quarterback of a 2-8 team in ful...

The Chiefs Have Real Problems
Late last week I pitched an article about the Chiefs. Heading into Week 11, they had won five straight and were in line for the AFC’s No. 2 seed. But, I proposed to question, are the Chiefs actually any good? The response I got from an editor was to wait to see how the Chiefs did during Sunday’s hom...
The Texans Are Steamed Over Some Questionable Officiating
The Texans’ 27-20 loss to the Raiders might have looked very different had a call or two gone Houston’s way, and a visibly pissed Bill O’Brien had to hold his tongue after the game to avoid getting fined....
Brock Osweiler Said Laser Pointer From Stands Affected His Play
It was like a freaking Laser Floyd show in Mexico City last night, with someone in the pro-Raiders crowd shining a big-ass green laser pointer at Brock Osweiler in an attempt to distract the Texans’ QB in Houston’s2 7-20 loss. It worked: Osweiler called it “very distracting” and said it “certainly a...
