ESPN's Lomas Brown Spent His Christmas Insulting People On Twitter

Seahawks Corner Richard Sherman Won His PED Test Appeal, And Then Dropped The Mic On Twitter
Back in November, Seahawks corners Brandon Browner and Richard Sherman—the league's best tandem, until Darrelle Revis's ACL heals—both tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs (reportedly Adderall) and faced four-game suspensions.

Before the 2011 season, the Eagles brought in Jim Washburn and then Jason Babin—who's only ever thrived in Washburn's 4-3. It worked well for a year, when Babin recorded a team-record 18 sacks. Like everything else defensive-related in Philly this year though, the D-line play has gone to shit. The E...

This Might Be The New Dolphins Logo
It never did make sense that the Miami logo showed a dolphin wearing a football helmet, when a dolphin is the one NFL mascot that would be suffocated by wearing a helmet. But as part of a rebranding effort to leave behind years upon years of losing—Gloria Estefan! Stadium renovations!—the Dolphins w...
Russell Wilson Is The Quarterback Darrell Bevell Always Wanted
Nineteen years ago, Darrell Bevell, a redshirt freshman transfer fresh off his Mormon mission, led Wisconsin to its first Rose Bowl win—an ugly 21-16 victory over UCLA that featured seven fumbles.

The Jets Are Trying To Get Two General Managers To Work Together, Since It Went So Well To Have Two Quarterbacks Do That
