The Falcons' Defense Is Finding Itself At Just The Right Time
For much of this season, it’s been difficult to take the Atlanta Falcons seriously.

Their offense, eve...

The National Park Service Will Be Run By The Guy Who Helped Dan Snyder Cut Down Public Trees To Improve His River View<em></em>
As fits a government that could already boast a head of the Department of Energy who wants to do away with the Department of Energy and a secretary of education who favors homeschooling over public schools, a guy renowned for desecrating park lands will now be running the National Park Service.

Jags Fans Can Willfully Disregard Fire Safety, Too<em></em>

For No Reason, Here's A Ridiculously Tight Cam Newton Throw
I flagged this yesterday in the hopes there’d be some larger context to use it today, but after the Saints’ 31-26 win over the Panthers, there’s really not. Which is fine! It’s fine to look at a cool throw for its own sake. This is a cannon....

Cameron Jordan—Pro Bowler, first-team All-Pro, serious candidate for defensive player of the year—loves shit-talking the Panthers.

Drew Brees Reminds Us What A Good Quarterback Does
The Saints beat the Panthers for the third time this season, 31-26, to advance to the next round of the playoffs. And after some truly ugly play from the QBs in the early Bills-Jaguars game, Drew Brees put on a show and served as the antidote. On 23-of-33 passing, Brees had an extremely efficient 37...
