Report: Johnny Manziel Told His Friends To Lie To The Browns About Partying Video
Last weekend a video surfaced of the Browns then-starting quarterback Johnny Manziel holding champagne while at a party. Normally that’d be no big deal—who cares that he’s having fun during the bye week—except that Manziel went to rehab earlier this year, presumably because of a drinking problem....

The Patriots Are Sketchy And Deserve Scrutiny
Monday night’s Buffalo Bills-New England Patriots game was a primetime display of shoddy officiating. The most egregious instance involved an inadvertent whistle on a Danny Amendola catch that would have been a huge gain, if not a touchdown, but Gene Steratore’s crew bungled other plays throughout t...
Reports: Rams WR Stedman Bailey Shot In The Head (UPDATES)
St. Louis Rams wide receiver Stedman Bailey was shot in the head tonight in South Florida while in a car with his family, according to a report from Mike Silver of NFL.com and another from Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. The reports indicate that his injuries are non-life-threatening. Bailey ...
Peyton Manning Is In A Walking Cast And The Broncos Are Working Out New Quarterbacks
Peyton Manning—the 39-year-old Broncos quarterback with a messed up neck, foot, ribcage, and quad—is in a walking cast and will miss at least Weeks 12 & 13, per the team. From the report:...
Titans: Please Cheer For Us
It’s rough being a Titans fan. Tennessee is winless at home over its last 10 games, and 4-20 going back to 2013. Attendance is down, and at Nissan Stadium (that’s what it’s called now, turns out), especially toward the end of blowout losses, visiting fans can feel louder and more numerous than those...
Report: Bad Call At End Of Patriots-Bills Game Was Because Official Forgot He Wasn't In College
The inadvertent whistle is justly getting most of the attention, but the Patriots’ 20-13 win over the Bills was a terrible game all around for the zebras. And the Boston Globe has a source in the referees’ union who blames the blown call on the final play of the game on an official who mixed up a co...

Johnny Manziel's Defense: "Videos Can Be Old" [UPDATE]
This weekend, a video surfaced of Johnny Manziel holding a champagne bottle and singing to Future, which would be a standard bit of athlete-out-on-the-town goofiness if not for the fact that the Browns quarterback spent two months in rehab earlier this year. The clip appears to be from a Friday part...

What's Wrong With NFL Officiating?
It’s getting exhausting emerging from each weekend with our choice of questionable and downright bad refereeing decisions to analyze, but it feels unavoidable these days. I don’t know if it’s confirmation bias or if it’s real, but NFL officiating feels as bad this season as it’s ever been. Last nigh...
Officials Blow Inadvertent Whistle On Completed Pats Pass, Then Screw Up Ruling
The Patriots are locked into a tight game with the Bills, tied 10-10 in the third quarter. But that scoreline might’ve been very different, if not for an enormous refereeing blunder....
It's Been A Year Since Odell Beckham's Catch
It was one year ago today, a Sunday night game between the Giants and Cowboys, when Odell Beckham Jr. made his one-handed catch. I have absolutely nothing to add to this commemoration, other than gifting you the blessed memory of the totally fucking awesome thing that happened....
Johnny Manziel Partied With Expensive Champagne During His Bye Week
Heading into his team’s bye week, Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel told reporters that he planned to use the week off as a chance to “relax” and “shut it down.” Over the weekend, a video of Manziel dancing and holding a bottle of champagne while at a party in Austin, Tex., was posted on a DJ’s Inst...
Why The Hell Was A Clearly Concussed Case Keenum Left In The Game?
The more you watch Rams quarterback Case Keenum get slammed to the ground, clutch his head, and wobble back to his feet, the harder it becomes to understand how he was allowed to continue playing....
Cam Newton Might Be The Most Photogenic Athlete In The World
This has nothing to do with the latest controversy over Cam Newton’s dancing, which I’m sick of and would rather not get into. (This guy’s got opinions, though.) Instead, it’s just an observation: no one takes better pictures than Cam Newton....
The Cowboys Are In Over Their Heads With Greg Hardy
Before the start of yesterday’s NFL action, NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport reported that the Cowboys’ support for defensive end and accused domestic abuser Greg Hardy was beginning to wane:...
