T.Y. Hilton Nearly Broke Down Talking About His Newborn Daughter
Just hours removed from the birth of daughter Eugenia—Gigi, for short—Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton barely fought back the tears while talking to CBS after the Colts' win, and the touchdown he had promised to his baby girl....
Aaron Rodgers Is A Sniper
This sort of dead-eyed efficiency might be standard among NFL quarterbacks, and it’s just that we rarely see it from this angle. But I’m guessing not:...
God, The NFC South Is So Awful
Mike Smith and the Falcons used poor clock management and sheer willpower to lose on a last-second field goal to the Browns today. (Congrats, Browns!) Atlanta is now 4-7, and still has a chance at first place in the NFC South after the week's over, because the NFC South is so fucking bad, top to bot...
Browns Players Injure Each Other While Committing Penalty
Cleveland may have the lead on Atlanta right now, but they're still showing signs of being the bad ol' Brownies....
T.Y. Hilton Scores TD Hours After Daughter's Birth, Celebrates Perfectly
T.Y. Hilton's wife gave birth to their daughter early this morning, and with both of them being healthy he was given the O.K. to line up at wide receiver today for the Colts. That led to his touchdown catch in the third quarter, and this priceless baby-cradling celebration....

Mark Cuban Takes Shot At NFL For Its Opposition To Sports Betting
On Friday, a judge shot down a New Jersey law that would have allowed sports betting, to the satisfaction of the four major American sports leagues, all of which opposed it—and all of which profit immensely from bettors' interest. As Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said of every owner and executive, incl...
Reports: RGIII Could Be Benched As Early As Today
At first glance, this is just the dumbest piece of news:...
"We Want Colt! We Want Colt!": Your Guide To Ignoring The NFL Today
In a recent Washington Post poll, 65 percent of respondents predicted that someone not named Robert Griffin III will be Washington's starting quarterback in 2015. What's awful about that is not the majority, but the probability that they're right....
DeAndre Hopkins' Favorite 4th-Grade Memory? Eating Pudding In Class
The pictures in this post come to us from a tipster, whose fiancée went to elementary school in Clemson, South Carolina with Houston Texans wideout DeAndre Hopkins. Like many kids, Hopkins aspired to be a professional athlete. Unlike most kids, he actually made it....
Jonas Gray Gets Belichicked
Even though Jonas Gray had the best game of his short career last Sunday, Bill Belichick didn't let it slide when the running back was late to practice today. Gray says he was late because his phone died, so his alarm didn't go off, but Belichick's hardass rules bend for no one. The team held Gray o...
Bills Tell Fans To Call Domestic-Violence Hotline For Ticket Refunds
With Jets-Bill being moved to Monday in Detroit, snowbound Buffalo-area fans are naturally concerned about getting their refunds. The Bills put up a post on their website listing their options, and told fans to call a number with any questions. It was not the right number. ...
Mike Evans Is Too Big, Too Fast, And Too Physical For Defenses To Stop
You should ignore the two-win Buccaneers and their two-bit alarm-clock uniforms. The Bucs suck, and have been on the end of some of the worst beatdowns of the year. There is at least one bright spot, however: Mike Evans is putting up crazy numbers, and he's only 21....
The Raiders Win And The NFL Circle Of Parity Is Complete
It had been more than a full calendar year since the Raiders last won a game (those salad days of Matt McGloin and Rashad Jennings) but there was joy in the rain yesterday, a stirring 24-20 win over the rival Chiefs. Maybe a 1-10 record doesn't seem like much to you, but there may not be many nights...
The Raiders Create A New Definition Of "Excessive Celebration"
The Raiders finally won a game Thursday night, but they wouldn't be the Raiders if it didn't come with a boneheaded, self-inflicted wound. Facing 3rd and 6 from the Oakland 45 with less than a minute left, Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith was sacked by Raiders linebacker Sio Moore. It was a pretty go...
Adrian Peterson Gives 90-Minute Interview, Doesn't Say Much
Adrian Peterson has finally broken a two month silence. After he was placed on the exempt/commissioner's permission list on September 17th, he's basically only communicated through bizzaro twitter postings and closed-door hearings. Tonight he spoke with USA Today's Pelissero tonight for a "more than...
The Buffalo Bills Will Host The Jets At "Home"...In Detroit On Monday
Where will the Jets-Bills game be played, and when, you ask? Finally we have a definitive answer: 7:00 p.m. ET Monday night, at Ford Field in Detroit.
