At Least Two Players Had No Idea Rams-49ers Could End In A Tie
A tie! Nothing brings more joy to fans of novelty, more consternation to playoff-scenario-figure-outers, or more mercy to viewers than a tie. The first in the NFL since 2008, the second in a decade, the 24-24 final score of yesterday's St. Louis-San Francisco game was perplexing to both teams—should...

Most Boring NFL Team Inspires Most Boring NFL Headline
"Jaguars sign another Greg Jones." This means that half the Greg Joneses to ever play in the NFL on are on the Jacksonville roster right now. They also kind of look like each other, right? Is that racist?...
It Happened Again: The NFL's Parity In One Striking Graphic
Two years ago, we were taken by the NFL's ouroboros: a visual representation of the league's parity, where any team can beat anyone else. In the graphic, each team has a victory over the team next to it, going clockwise, until it circles back....
Yahoo Sends Out Mass Apology To Screwed-Over Fantasy Football Owners, Still Looking For Answers
On Sunday afternoon, Yahoo experienced technical difficulties with its fantasy football product. Namely, it did not work in the hour prior the start of the lion's share of NFL games. People were angry. In the wake of the outrage, Ken Fuchs of Yahoo Sports sent out an email to users apologizing for t...
Christian Ponder Jokes About His ESPN Girlfriend, Is A Pretty Cool Guy
We like Vikings QB Christian Ponder a lot, and not just because his name is a complete sentence. He seems like a nice, normal guy, who waited all of a month to announce to the world that he was dating ESPN's Samantha Steele. That's still admirable restraint—we would have taken out a full-page ad in ...
Jerry Jones Spoke To Reporters In Front Of A Big Naked Cowboy Ass
Jerry Jones likes to do his media scrum in the middle of the Cowboys' locker room—That's why he was so furious last week when he was locked out. But things went better yesterday, both on the field (a 38-23 win in Philadelphia) and with the press. Except for that little matter of an unidentified pl...
Dallas Has A Crack Problem
Fumble pileups in the NFL are usually the scene for football's ugliest moves; fortunately (or unfortunately) viewers are usually spared the worst of what happens after a ball hits the turf. Sometimes, though, it happens out in the open, as Cowboys safety Eric Frampton learned while trying to recove...
Brian Urlacher Congratulates The Texans On Picking Off Jay Cutler: Sunday Night Football, In One GIF
Houston 13, Chicago 6: It was wet and miserable tonight at Soldier Field, and the score reflected it. The game wasn't altogether boring—the Bears had a chance to tie or win on their last possession—but they did not. Six turnovers later (four the Bears, two for the Texans) and what this game will be...

In Yet Another Case Of Metrics Confusion, Hakeem Nicks Claims Stats Are Useful For Impressing Girls
Hakeem Nicks's production has fallen in recent games, partly due to a left knee injury. A reporter asked him whether he was concerned about the drop-off, and he answered in a way that briefly sent the sports analytics world into a fit of eye-rolling and furiously composing Nate-Silver-meme jokes: "S...
Which TV Market Is Getting Screwed This Sunday? An Analysis Of Week 10 NFL Viewing Maps

Wow, The NFL Actually Fined A Player For Faking An Injury
Back in Week 7, Emmanuel Sanders had a fortuitously timed cramp. His "injury" saved the Steelers from having to use a timeout or take a delay-of-game penalty. It was fake, and we all knew it was fake, and Sanders knew we knew, but it's not like the league could do anything about it....
Last Night Reminded The World That Blaine Gabbert Is Hopeless And Chad Henne Isn't
We wondered in September why the Jaguars had refused to bench Blaine Gabbert (pictured above, on his ass)—their woeful second-year quarterback—in favor of Chad Henne, their slightly below-average (serviceable!) young veteran backup. Since then, Gabbert's play has, uh, I guess we could say picked up:...
A Thursday Blowout Offered The Quintessential Jaguars Gif
Another underwhelming Thursday Night Football matchup on paper, Indianapolis-Jacksonville had its saving grace: it was, somehow, the first and only national game this year for Andrew Luck and the frisky Colts. They didn't disappoint, having their way with the Jaguars. Which is all well and good for ...
How NFL Players Found Their Voice On The Marriage-Equality Issue
