The Steelers Mysteriously Lost 18 Seconds On Their Final Drive
As a reasonable person who wants sports to be fair and knows they wouldn’t exist otherwise, I’m so glad the Steelers didn’t lose the game because of 18 seconds that mysteriously disappeared from the clock before their game-winning drive. As a fan of drama and controversy, I wish the Steelers had got...
Jags Coach: Bernard Pierce May Have Blocked For The Wrong Team Because He Had A Concussion
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bernard Pierce made a bit of news after his team’s game on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, wherein he blocked for the other team during a second-quarter kickoff.

The Steelers' Final Play Was So Ballsy
It’s a great play call because it worked. If it had backfired, running off the remaining five seconds and being stopped shy of the goal line, the Steelers get blasted this morning for a terrible play call.

Getting Mad At Greg Hardy Is The Easy Part

This Is A Great Football Photo
The low-angle shot from behind a team deep in its own end is quickly becoming my favorite football photo.

49ers Fan Ran Onto Field, Allegedly Tried To Headbutt And Spit At Security
Obviously, don’t charge onto the field. It disrupts the game, and you’re going to get hit with trespassing and a lifetime ban. But if you charge onto the field, definitely don’t try to assault the security members who drag you out. They’re not going to let that one go. ...

Report: Giants Tight End Daniel Fells Could Lose Foot To MRSA Infection
Daniel Fells suffered an ankle injury in practice a little over a week ago. Initially, it wasn’t thought to be serious.

Stop Making Ryan Mallett's Grandmothers Cry
Ryan Mallett sounds like he’s just about the grumpiest Ryan in the world right now.
