Jason Taylor Went On CNN And Said Dumb Shit About Drugs
From time to time, former NFL star Jason Taylor has been known to say thoughtful and inspiring things on camera. This was not one of those times.

Brendon Ayanbadejo Was Cut Because He's Old And Expensive, Not Because He Supports Gay Marriage
The Ravens released linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo yesterday afternoon, after five seasons in Baltimore.

Agnieszka Radwanska Hit An Impossible No-Look, Behind-The-Back Winner In Miami Last Night
Sure, Agnieszka Radwanska got lucky with the net's part in this trick shot Tuesday night, but Agnieszka Radwanska also managed to spin around, blindly, and hit a behind-the-back, backhand drop volley with finesse and spin, so we'll forgive the net for interfering....

Manti Te'o's 40-Yard-Dash Was Slightly Better Than His Last 40-Yard-Dash
After an unimpressive time at the NFL combine, Manti Te'o gave the 40-yard-dash another shot at Notre Dame's pro day in South Bend. And true to his word, Te'o beat his old mark by about a tenth of a second. Fast? Faster, at least....
Shaun Rogers Had Half His Salary's Worth Of Jewelry Stolen
Giants DT Shaun Rogers used to make pretty good money. He got $20 million guaranteed from Cleveland just five years ago.

An Empty White Castle And Two Bored Children: Former NFLer Anthony Adams Had The Best Retirement Announcement
After nine years in the NFL, DT Anthony "Spice" Adams didn't catch on with a team for 2012. Instead, he chronicled the life of a free agent: boredom, desperation, lots of Capri Sun. Now he's calling it a career, in the most Anthony Adams way imaginable....
