Looks Like Sunday's Bills Game Will Be Moved [Update: Yep]
It's still snowing in Western New York. (What the fuck, snow.) The Bills remain scheduled to play the Jets, but people are dying and trapped and stranded and there's probably no real reason 70,000 people should be on the road at the same time on Sunday. It's sounding like sanity is beginning to prev...

The Chargers Are Still Trying To Hide Philip Rivers's Injury
After Antonio Gates spoke out of class and revealed that his quarterback has been dealing with a "severe rib injury," the Chargers closed ranks. Rivers said he was fine. His coach said he wasn't injured. Gates claimed he had been misquoted. Then, yesterday, Rivers showed up on the injury report with...
The Bills Are Planning To Play On Sunday Despite Being Relocated To Hoth
The bands of lake effect snow that have buried Western New York are not done—another couple of feet will fall tomorrow, meaning parts of the region will be covered in up to eight feet of snow. There's a football game scheduled for Orchard Park on Sunday, and the Bills are going to do everything ...
What Did RG3 Say That Peyton Manning Hasn't?
In terms of RG3 takes, it appears we're not quite out of the woods.

Here's one more bad ta...
Let Jaden Smith Live, Though Maybe Don't Let Him Rap
So on account of this bonkers T Magazine joint interview with his equally loopy sister, my colleagues have spent the better part of the week uncouthly debating the merits of one Jaden Smith, son of Will and Jada, brother of Willow, shaky actor, convulsing rapper, amateur philosopher ("There's a th...
Emmanuel Sanders Partied In Heaven With All The Ladies
After getting absolutely crushed on a scary play during Sunday's game against the Rams, Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders fell victim to a Wikipedia prankster who edited the page to say that Sanders had died. The wideout caught wind of this, and he responded with a well-struck "Hi haters."...
4 To 6 Weeks, My Ass: Why NFL Injury Estimates Are Bullshit
Not long after Robert Griffin III hobbled out of Week 2 with an ankle injury, the team and the media went into their usual casualty-reporting routine. First was the wait for the diagnosis, which arrived the next day—a dislocated left ankle. Then came the dissemination of the team's early timetable...
Marshawn Lynch Drove To A Guy's House To Return His Wallet
A guy named Jason Lynch (no relation to Marshawn) posted a story on his Facebook page in which Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch comes off as a real swell guy. Take it away, Jason:...
Cam Newton's Twitter Got Hacked And Then Suspended
Cam Newton's Twitter account was hacked, which isn't surprising since Cam Newton has a history of struggling with technology. The interesting part was that just when you thought the hack was over, the tweets continued. What a twist....
RG3 Is Making Everyone Insane
Let's begin with the full quote. You already know that RG3 allegedly threw his teammates under the bus after the Skins got their asses handed to them by the Bucs at home on Sunday, but you probably only read this part of the quote…...
How The NFL Exploited A Child Abuser To Restore Its Brand
1. When talking or writing about the NFL's handling of the Adrian Peterson case, it's difficult to separate discussion of the vicious cruelty of Peterson's actions from the fairness of the NFL's adjudicatory process. You can wholeheartedly believe Peterson belongs in jail, or in hell, and believe at...

Fed-Up LeGarrette Blount Left The Steelers Game Early
Le'Veon Bell rushed 33 times for 204 yards and a score last night. It was very exciting for everyone except the guy who was supposed to be the other half of Pittsburgh's running-back tandem. ...

NFL Suspends Adrian Peterson For The Rest Of The Season

Shaun Smith: "Hope Your Sons Don't Turn Out Like Magic Johnson Son"
Former NFL defensive lineman Shaun Smith—who played for five different teams in an eight year career that ended in 2012—has been going off on people on Twitter for the past two hours.

Stanford Ends UConn's 47-Game Winning Streak In OT
UConn versus Stanford has been one of women's college basketball's best rivalries over the past decade, and tonight's contest was no exception. Down ten at home with just six-and-a-half minutes remaining, Amber Orrange had nine of the Cardinal final 22 points—including a game-tying three with just t...
