Tampa Bay's Overtime Fumble Was The Most Costly Fuckup In Week 8

Watch This Obnoxious Cardinals Fan Get Drunker And Drunker
At Sunday's Eagles-Cardinals game, reader Jonathan found himself sitting behind one Arizona fan as he stumbled the fine line between boisterous and "so blitzed he should be ejected." Jonathan put together this video of that fan's highlights. It really tells a story....

Jerry Jones Is Fucking Crazy
It was only a matter of time before Jerry Jones fucked it all up. I covered the Cowboys for NBC's Dallas affiliate for a few years, and covering the Cowboys is an easy job because Jerry Jones never stops talking to the media, and is a completely fucking insane person. He is a man who abhors a vacu...

Wade Phillips Watched His Old Team From The Upper Deck Last Night
Wade Phillips coached the Dallas Cowboys for almost four seasons, and despite getting fired after leading the team to a 1-7 start in 2010, he left Dallas with a decent overall record of 34-22. That record apparently isn't enough to get Phillips a decent ticket to see his old team play, though, becau...

Jerry Jones Was Weirdly Hands-On For Tony Romo's Return
Every Cowboys fan in America held their breath when Tony Romo took a knee to his surgically repaired back. Not Jerry Jones. The Cowboys owner/GM/head trainer leaped into action....

PR Guy Pulls Colt McCoy Away From ESPN Deportes Interview: "No Means No"
Colt McCoy was the hero of tonight's big Washington win over Dallas, and so it figures that he'd be doing the run through of all the ESPN networks—given they hold the broadcast rights to Monday Night games, after all. Turns out a PR handler doesn't want McCoy talking to ESPN's Spanish-language Depor...

Radio Host Mike Francesa Rants About The Jets For Over Seven Minutes
The shit-ass Jets are 1-7 after getting smoked by the Buffalo Bills in a game that featured many grand embarrassments from the home team, so today was the perfect day for Mike Francesa to unleash a merciless rant about just how crappy this team is....

All Of Madison Bumgarner's Game 5 Strikeout Pitches, At The Same Time
Giants ace Madison Bumgarner's line last night was filthy, and in the course of earning the complete game he picked up eight strikeouts while walking zero. Here is a video featuring a composite of all eight of those strikeout pitches, similar to what we did with Clayton Kershaw's no-hitter....

Madison Bumgarner Was The Best Version Of Himself Last Night
Madison Bumgarner, who now owns one of the best World Series résumés of any starting pitcher in history, was a monster last night. He's been a monster throughout the postseason, of course, but last night gave us a good look at the scariest version of the stoic lefty. ...

This Failed Trick Play From The Jets Gets Sadder Every Time You Watch It
Upon reflection, the most embarrassing thing the New York Jets did yesterday was try to run the world's least effective trick play on a third-quarter kickoff return. I realize that's a bold statement to make, seeing as how this game also included Geno Smith turning in one of the worst quarterbacki...

Russell Wilson Blows Off Claims That He's "Not Black Enough"
With the Seahawks splitting with their most explosive players, and amid talk of locker-room strife, you could make that argument that this week was the first time the aggressively boring and uncontroversial Russell Wilson has had to face public adversity. You could, but Pete Carroll would tell you t...

Colts-Steelers Was Pure, Uncut, High-Grade Offense
The Patriots produced a show for the 1 p.m. slate by hanging 51 points on the Bears, who I would imagine are reading the papers this morning and realizing they had a game yesterday. The Steelers decided to match that total for the 4 p.m. round, the main difference being that a few of the Colts decid...

Madison Bumgarner Should Be Illegal
Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner's biggest weakness is the start of the game. He holds a 5.73 ERA in the first inning this season, and a 2.49 average in the rest of them. The Royals did not get to Bumgarner early. They did not get to Bumgarner at all....

Marshawn Lynch Swings His Bag At A Paparazzo
Riding off the reports that the Seahawks aren't happy with Marshawn Lynch, TMZ dropped this Oct. 7 clip of Lynch swinging his bag at a guy asking him a question....
