This is the NFL, where you will get fined for wearing the wrong cleats, or eye black, or headphones, or baseball cap.

Bengals Blast "Ridiculous" Penalty That Set Up Cardinals Win
It’s a bit of a shame that a fun, close game between two of the league’s best teams came down to a crucial and obscure penalty, but there’s nothing to be done: it was almost certainly the correct call, and despite the Bengals’ protestations that it was “ridiculous,” they got caught....
Washington Defensive End Jason Hatcher: Referees "Single Us Out" Because Of Team Name

Report: Teams Are Already Lining Up To Bring Peyton Manning Into The Front Office
Peyton Manning has such a comical litany of injuries that it’s amazing he was playing NFL football into 2015.

Aaron Rodgers's Throwing Shoulder Is "Banged Up"
If this doesn’t fully explain Aaron Rodgers’s (relative) struggles this season, it sure goes a hell of a lot further than hypotheticals about his girlfriend. Rodgers appeared on the injury report for the first time this week with an unspecified injury to his right shoulder, and since there was no ob...
I Want To Know Everything About Carson Palmer's Friends Pup, Phil and Sugar Cane
Andre Ellington’s fourth quarter touchdown against Seattle on Sunday sent Arizona quarterback Carson Palmer into a tizzy, pumping his fist and telling the Seahawks crowd to suck it.

Frozen-Food Smackdown: Totino's Pizza Rolls Vs. Hot Pockets Snack Bites
Dweezil Zappa’s dad memorably declared that a country’s legitimacy is predicated upon its having its own airline and its own beer, and maybe a football team and a nuclear arsenal for good measure.
