DeAngelo Hall Tore His Achilles When He Slipped While Getting Pizza
The NFL's had a weird spate of injuries this season, on top of the regular injuries that happen every game.

Former 'Skins QB Expresses World's Dumbest Thought About Team's Name

Concussed Cardinals Safety Couldn't Remember Game He'd Just Played
Arizona Cardinals safety Tony Jefferson had a great game on Sunday, probably the best of his young career. He had 11 tackles—the most of any player—and his team beat Philadelphia 24-20 to advanced to 6-1, tied for the best record in the NFL. It's a game he would cherish forever, except he has no mem...
Man Loses It, Destroys House After Cowboys Lose Regular-Season Game
Part of me thinks this Cowboys fan's rampage after Monday night's loss is played up, but then again, to what end? This dude destroys a LOT of shit just because his first-place team lost a regular-season game. Hell, he starts breaking stuff before the Cowboys even lose. What's wrong with this guy?...

Cowboys RB Joseph Randle Cracked Jokes In Jail, Asked For A Massage
Cowboys running back Joseph Randle was booked in Frisco County Jail after he allegedly stole cologne and underwear from a Dillard's earlier this month. Watching surveillance footage from the jail, Randle was oddly relaxed about the arrest, making jokes and offering an officer $100 for a massage....
Here's An Odd Legal Journal Letter About The NFL And The Ray Rice Tapes
A couple of tipsters have pointed us to an anonymous question printed in the October issue of the New York State Bar Association Journal. Take it with a grain of salt, but correspondent "Tim Troubled" says his firm dealt with a pro sports league that sounds a lot like the NFL, and a pro athlete who ...
This Is The Problem With Saying "Redskins" On TV
OK, so it's an ad, and as a rule we don't participate in advertising campaigns. We're making an exception here, though, because the commercial above quietly makes a good point that we made bluntly not too long ago, about the normalization of a racial slur....
Bill Belichick Likely To Study Tape Of His Slaying Of Reporter
We've gone over this before, but Bill Belichick's adept at letting reporters draw out their questions before he shuts them down with curt answers. (It's entertaining, if your job isn't covering the Patriots.) Naturally, the media wanted to talk about Peyton Manning vs. the Patriots today, and Belich...
DeSean Jackson Will Catch Deep Balls No Matter Who Throws To Him
Washington has started three quarterbacks this season in an effort to find one that works. It's been terrible. Despite the shuffling, one offensive player hasn't been affected much at all: DeSean Jackson, the big-play receiver with the busted quarterbacks, has kept busting up defenses. ...
Missing Broncos Fan "Had His Fill Of Football," Tried To Hitchhike Home
Police have located Paul Kitterman, a 53-year-old man from Kremmling, Col. who disappeared while attending last Thursday's Broncos game. He was found in Pueblo, Col., which is about 100 miles away from Denver....

Jerry Jones: Tony Romo's Status Depends On His Pain Tolerance
The good: Tony Romo's new back injury isn't related to his surgery, and it won't end his season. The bad: That's only true if you believe Jerry Jones....
Tampa Bay's Overtime Fumble Was The Most Costly Fuckup In Week 8
After receiving the ball to start overtime, Tampa Bay could have ended the game with a touchdown drive. But Tampa tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins fumbled on the first scrimmage play of overtime, and Minnesota linebacker Anthony Barr returned the fumble for a touchdown, which ended the game and...
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...
