How The Titans Went Retro And Unleashed Marcus Mariota
Last year, the Tennessee Titans drafted quarterback Marcus Mariota No. 2 overall.

Joe Flacco Regrets Buying All Those Uncomfortable Massage Chairs

Terrell Suggs Has An All-Time Great Fake Name
Rex “Walt Pulaski” Ryan snuck onto a Bills media call to try and massage some inside info from Julian Edelman earlier this NFL season, and his colleague Terrell “Hacksaw Smithers” Suggs followed suit this afternoon on a call with Dak Prescott. With all due respect to Walt, “Hacksaw Smithers” is in a...

Paul Ryan's Fantasy Football Team Must Suck

Oklahoma's Charles Walker Leaves The Team To Prepare For The NFL
Oklahoma defensive lineman Charles Walker has parted ways with the program, to the disappointment of his coach but undoubtedly to the elation of his family. For the best young players, college football is and should be the means to an end: getting paid....
Tony Romo Accepts That He's Now A Backup
The Dallas Cowboys have thrived with Dak Prescott at quarterback, and although Tony Romo has recovered from his back injury and had an advantage in terms of experience, Prescott is too good to sit.

<i>Thursday Night Football</i> Commercial: Folks, Remember The Freakin' Dress?!?
The NFL has been dealing with low television ratings all season, and people have all sorts of theories about why that is.

Eli Manning Read The Bengals' Defense Like A Coloring Book
Eli Manning was slinging (for better or for worse), Odell Beckham was doing his thing, the defense looked like a throwback to the best Tom Coughlin years in the way it pressured Andy Dalton, and even the much-maligned running game picked up a huge first down to run out the clock, something the Giant...
The Bengals Are Mediocre As Hell
Marvin Lewis has been the head coach of the Bengals for 13 seasons, and in all that time, he’s won exactly zero playoff games. The knock on Lewis has always been that his teams are pathologically incapable of winning in the postseason, but it seems likely that he won’t be able to add to that legacy,...

Ryan Tannehill Was Bodysnatched By An Elite Quarterback<em></em>
A symptom of rooting for a team piloted by a mediocre quarterback—say, for instance, the Miami Dolphins—is being periodically reminded of how hard it is to beat a team that has a quarterback who simply makes plays. A guy who can routinely stick throws on third down or scramble out of pressure is an ...
