Your Obligatory Playoff Manningface
We have our first Manningface of 2014!...
Look At This Football-Watching Dog In A Danny Woodhead Jersey
This pile of limbs packed into a Danny Woodhead jersey was apparently chilling on the couch, watching last night's Colts-Patriots game. You are a good dog, buddy....
It's Funny Because It's Bigger Than A Normal Helmet
Anything for the playoffs. What concussions? No, seriously, what concussions?...
Panthers Write Own Demise With Huge, Fruitless Drives
The Carolina Panthers weren't a total dud in their first playoff appearance since 2008. Their defense sufficiently contained Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers for the most part. But stalled drives killed them. Carolina burned over 17 minutes of game time on two offensive drives, coming away with just t...
Charles Barkley: Patriots Fans Don't Appreciate Their Team
Charles Barkley was hanging around the Patriots locker room after their win last night—apparently he's friends with owner Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick?—so the assorted media got him to answer some football questions. His assessment of New England's fans and media? They're spoiled....
The National Anthem Should Be Played With Instruments More Often
Trumpeter Jesse McGuire performed an outstanding rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" before today's 49ers-Panthers game, and really, musicians should be used for the national anthem more often....
Greg Hardy's Dedicated To Being "Kraken"
We've previously highlighted Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy and his tendency to dub himself "Kraken," but maybe we didn't realize the two might be overlapping personalities. Kraken's apparently not as disposable as one of Clinton Portis's alter egos....
Once An Afterthought, LeGarrette Blount Beats The Colts Down
Listed at 250 pounds, LeGarrette Blount is just a pound lighter than the Patriots' starting fullback, James Develin. He's not exactly a scatback. He's more of a supersized bowling ball over which someone had draped a jersey—a "north-south" runner, in scouting parlance, who in last night's 43-22 New ...
The Patriots Run All Over Colts, Advance To AFC Championship Game
The Patriots overwhelmed the Colts 43-22, but for a minute there it looked like Andrew Luck might actually be the next young quarterback to unseat the Patriots at home. Then LeGarrette Blount ran 73 yards and put that to rest....
Bill Belichick Sat Down With Bill Cowher And Was Actually A Human Being
The Bill Belichick rehabilitation tour is almost complete. First, it comes out that he likes Christmas songs, then we learned he actually smiles (limitedly) at the press and now, he hugs people. ...
Seahawks Beat Saints 23-15 Thanks In Part To Marques Colston's Stupidity
All Marques Colston needed to do was step out of bounds and give Drew Brees a shot at the end zone and, in turn, his Saints a shot at tying today's game in Seattle. Instead he decided to try his hand at quarterbacking himself—and cost his team that one chance at winning....
Seahawks Play Georgia To A New Orleans Auburn
It's like they hadn't even seen this play. ...
Colin Kaepernick At Hooters
A reader sends along this picture with only a subject that reads "Kaep at Hooters in Charlotte." Missing are the trademark chicken wings or human breasts, so it's hard to tell—though you do get an overall feeling of desperation—but it probably is a Hooters. It looks like he's signing an autograph fo...
