If This Is How The Eagles Are Trying To Smear Nnamdi Asomugha, It's Hilarious
The media of Philadelphia evidently can't fill the winter hours by moaning about the Phillies or their just-outside-of-the-playoffs NBA and NHL teams. They want to talk Eagles.

NFL GMs Want To Know If Manti Te'o Is Gay
The NFL scouting combine is an utterly useless event that exists for the sole purpose of maintaining the league's grip on the consciousness of the American sports fan as far into the offseason as possible.
