Frank Gore Blew Up Lance Briggs: Bears-49ers, In One GIF
San Francisco 32, Chicago 7: In his first career start, Colin Kaepernick out-dueled Jason Campbell and it was not even close. Kaepernick had 243 yards and two touchdowns to Campbell's 107 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. The usually sticky-fingered Bears defense forced zero turnovers and...
Philadelphia Gets Down To Brass Tacks, Just Asks Andy Reid If He's Going To Resign
Things are so bad in Philadelphia that reporters are just asking Andy Reid if he's going to quit to save himself the indignity of being fired. The Eagles were soundly defeated by the Redskins yesterday, 31-6, bringing Philly down to 3-7 and all by itself at the bottom of the NFC East. Mike Vick can ...
Your Monday Night Football Open Thread
Chicago at San Francisco: So, this might have been a decent game but neither starting quarterback will be playing due to concussions. Instead it's Jason Campbell and Colin Kaepernick. Yikes. Kaepernick did surprise the Jets earlier this year with some solid Wildcat-esque play, but presumably the Be...

ESPN Posts Robert Griffin III "'Merica" Meme To Facebook, Enrages Facebook Users
ESPN's SportsCenter Facebook page attempted to capitalize on Robert Griffin III's solid game against the Eagles yesterday by posting the mangled meme you see above.

The Patriots Are Being Shady About Rob Gronkowski's Broken Arm
LeSean McCoy wasn't the only star player to get needlessly injured late in a blowout. Reports out of New England say Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski broke his arm late in the Patriots' 59-24 stomping of Indianapolis, and has already undergone surgery. He's expected to return in time for the playoffs....
Report: The NFL Made Disability Payments For Brain Trauma While Publicly Denying That Football Causes Brain Trauma
Officially, it was three years ago that the NFL first acknowledged that repeated concussions can indeed have a long-term effect on mental health. In the six years before that, the league had taken the opposite stance, publishing a series of scientific papers that denied any link between football and...
LeSean McCoy Gets Concussed, And It's All Andy Reid's Fault
If Andy Reid's out, he's taking as many players as he can with him. That's the only possible explanation for leaving his starters in until the very end of a blowout loss at Washington, a strategy that paid off with LeSean McCoy receiving a concussion at a time when he should have been on the bench, ...
This Rob Gronkowski "Cha Cha Bitches" Sign Is The Rob Gronkowski Of Signs
While Rob "Yo soy fiesta" Gronkowsi has his share of fans, his Sunday didn't end well as the Patriots tight end suffered a broken arm in garbage time that will sideline him for weeks. We can only imagine how distraught this news made the young woman seen here with a creative sign, or Gronk's army/h...
The Kansas City Chiefs (Basically) Killed A Guy
Seriously, that's what the obituary in the Kansas City Star says. "Loren G. 'Sam' Lickteig died on November 14 as a result of (OK, fine—complications due to multiple sclerosis—but also) "heartbreaking disappointment caused by the Kansas City football team."...
Ed Hochuli Reviewed An Un-Reviewable Play And Then Said He Did Not Review It Because It Was Un-Reviewable
Cleveland unexpectedly forced Dallas to overtime, and after an incomplete pass to Miles Austin with 8:35 left to go in the extra period Cleveland called timeout—presumably to force a replay from the booth. Cleveland thought the play was a catch, fumble and Browns recovery. Almost immediately, CBS ...

Bart Scott Attempts to Lead Media Boycott After Jets Actually Win A Game
Yes, the Jets actually won this afternoon—and even scored some touchdowns doing so. But, these being the New York Jets, they could not avoid finding new and ever-dumber ways of making news unrelated to on field matters....
Michael Vick Still Can't Drive A Car Because Of Concussion Suffered Last Week

We have four more games left on the day and three more begin right now.

The Mismanaged, Crazy Jets Might Be Keeping Tebow On The Bench Because They Can't Afford The Incentives In His Contract
One of the great things about the Jets this year—the only great thing, perhaps—is that by dealing for Tim Tebow, emphasizing the extent to which they'd use him (they said it would 25% of snaps), and not using him nearly that much (it was 10.1% before week ten and inched slightly higher after), they'...
The Ditka Family Had A Pretty Rough Friday
