Aaron Rodgers Is Very Sensitive About His Height
60 Minutes ran a profile of Aaron Rodgers last night, and it was, as is customary for most of their non-tennis sports segments, not really designed for sports fans.

Watch Chuck Pagano Inspire The Colts While Visiting Them For The First Time Since His Cancer Diagnosis

His four touchdowns sets a Tampa Bay Bucs franchise record, his 250 yards made him tied for number ten on the all-time single game rushing yards list, his three touchdown runs for 45 yards or more-he went for 70, 63 and 45-made him the first ever to accomplish that feat in a game. And the runs were...
Ref, On Hot Mic In Indianapolis: "God Damn It!"
Madness in Indy: Andrew Luck had the most single-game passing yards ever for a rookie with 433 (and two touchdowns to boot), refs were yelling church swears on open mics, and the Colts just wrapped it up on a day when two rookie quarterbacks combined for 723 yards through the air. The best part of t...

ESPN Columnist Writes Passive-Aggressive Chickenshit About Chris Kluwe
Minnesota Vikings punter and friend of Deadspin Chris Kluwe has been struggling on the field lately, so much so that the Vikings worked out a few potential replacements last week.

Signs Your Season Is In Meltdown, Starring The Philadelphia Eagles
Sign 1: A players-only meeting. What goes on at these things? Is actually strategy discussed, or is it just a lot of "we should probably play better?"
