The Steelers Faked An Injury To Stop The Clock
Midway through the fourth, with the Steelers up a score and on the edge of field goal range, Ben Roethlisberger was sacked.

Legendary Redskins Coach Joe Gibbs Gave The Dallas Cowboys A Peptalk Saturday Night
The Dallas Cowboys were in Charlotte this weekend to take on the the Carolina Panthers. Charlotte also happens to be the home of Joe Gibbs, former coach of the bitter rival Washington Redskins.

If You Have Two Quarterbacks Then You Probably Don't Have Tom Brady: Your NFL Late Games Viewing Guide
It was a wild start to the day, so let's take it down a notch, relax and watch CBS. If you're not interested in Jets-Pats, I guess you could just go take a nap until the Sunday night game or baseball starts or something. Nothing else worthwhile going on. ...
The Jets, To The Patriots: "Hang On A Minute"
The Patriots' hurry-up offense is quick—too quick, according to the Jets. They point to a crucial moment in the Patriots win over the Broncos two weeks ago in which the Patriots had sped up their offense so much between snaps that the Broncos didn't have time to make substitutions. That's not fair: ...

The lights are low, the shades are drawn, we're eating sriracha-based chili: let's watch some football.

Ben Roethlisberger Criticizes Todd Haley's Offense, Public Gleefully Awaits Vesuvian-Level Meltdown
The Todd Haley and Ben Roethlisberger relationship did not get off to the best of starts.

When I dropped the six-pack of Coopers Brewery Sparkling Ale on the counter at the liquor store, the clerk immediately began singing its praises, in what sounded like an Australian accent. This was pure happy coincidence, best I could tell....
Dolphins Center Mike Pouncey's Newest Tattoo: Teardrop Andrew Jackson, Trollface Ulysses S. Grant, And Old West Bank Robber Ben Franklin
You have to admire the commitment to civic-mindedness, history, and patriotism, but that is one ugly tattoo. We do like giving Andrew Jackson the teardrop tattoo—a tattoo within a tattoo, probably symbolic of Old Hickory's involvement with the Indian Removal Act of 1830 that set in motion the Trail ...

Tim Tebow Has Officially Trademarked Tebowing
Word trickles out of Jets practice that Tim Tebow is now, finally, the legal owner of the term "Tebowing." This doesn't mean you or I can't continue to talk about or write about Tebow. It just means we can't profit off of it. (What does this mean for ESPN, where Tebow=Profit?)...
