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. This isn't a unique situation, as punters fall into slumps all the time, and are often cut in favor of one of the many a...
Which TV Market Is Getting Screwed This Sunday? An Analysis Of NFL Viewing Maps
The NFL's regional programming rules are famously byzantine, but luckily the fine people at the506.com cut through the bullshit for you, providing weekly maps that allows us to answer the only question that really matters: Which fans are the most screwed this Sunday?...
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?" Regardless of motive, the Eagles responded to an embarrassing loss with a meeting at their practice complex on Wednesday. CSN Philly reports that Mic...
The Bummer About Eli Manning, In Two Maps
Finally, after nine seasons, some respect for the lesser Manning! Two rings, just a game away from 30,000 yards/200 career TDs, in control of the tough NFC East. Looks like everything's coming up-...
Can Aqib Talib Save The Patriots?
The Patriots' pass defense is miserable in 2012, just like it was in 2011. Football Outsiders ranks them 23rd in the league, and, two weeks ago, they allowed Mark Sanchez to complete 68.3 percent of his passes for 321 yards. I need say no more....

Whatever You Do, Don't Watch Thursday Night Football Tomorrow
This-the first year in which the NFL (and its subsidiary network, the NFL Network) has "graciously" "offered" us a full year of Thursday Night Football-has been a strange year for Thursday Night Football. Namely: the games were good matchups. Let's recall them quickly:...

At Least Hurricane Sandy Gave Us The Eli Manningest Of Eli Manning Photos [UPDATE]
Not only did Eli Manning, who lives in Hoboken, N.J., survive Hurricane Sandy, he remains as adorkable as ever. The above picture of Manning surveying the flood damage to what we assume is his apartment building was tweeted out last night by Kate Mara. Manning appears to be more concerned about whet...
Bryant McKinnie Sued For $375,000 In Unpaid Strip Club Bills
The Ravens tackle is being sued by, of all people, the father of rapper Trick Daddy. (He's also a bigtime South Florida strip club exec.) The suit claims McKinnie borrowed $375,000 in strip club expenses from Feb. 2009 to Sept. 2010, and has yet to pay back a dime....
Alex Smith Was Nearly Perfect Last Night, So Jim Harbaugh Said Some More Crazy Shit

Why Did Jamaal Charles Get Only Five Carries? Romeo Crennel Has No Idea.
Brady Quinn beat out Matt Cassel in the saddest quarterback competition ever—and then left the game with a concussion after going 2-for-4 for a single yard. This was only the second-most Chiefs thing to happen this week. That would be the star running back getting just five carries all day, and the ...
The Carolina Panthers Lost By Calling The Exact Same Defensive Coverage Over And Over
Last week, the Giants were able to beat the Redskins by recognizing the coverage. Eli Manning knew he could hit Victor Cruz over the top because Washington, at the end of the game, was running the same schemes it had shown in the two-minute drill at the end of the first half. But even that was cutti...
The Eagles Are Considering A Quarterback Change, Says Michael Vick
Usually, the clamoring for a change under center comes from fans and media, people who either don't know what they're talking about or haven't taken into account all the reasons for a team's struggles. A porous offensive line, or a defense that puts the quarterback into a position where he has to ta...
Randy McMichael Is The NFL's Most Impatient Player
Early in the fourth quarter of San Diego's eventual loss to the Browns, the Chargers offense (ineffectual for most of the day) managed to scrape together the ten yards necessary for a first down and keep a possible game-winning drive alive. The tension of the moment was too much for tight end Randy...
The Dallas Cowboys Sent Out A Mailer To Season-Ticket Holders Instructing Them On How To Cheer
Jerry Jones built the $1,300,000,000 Cowboys Stadium in 2009 expecting it to house champions, boost his team, and become the eighth wonder of the world. It is kind of the last one—largest domed stadium in the world, with the fourth largest HD video screen in the world hanging from the ceiling—but th...
