The Lions Had An Awful Lot Of Excuses About The Wind Yesterday
You could chalk the Lions' embarrassing loss to Chicago up to many things. Turnovers, an inability to get the run game going, Matthew Stafford...but no matter how many things don't go your way, it remains all-but-impossible for an NFL team to win when the wind itself is a Bears fan.

The Dejected Faces Of Mark Sanchez
The great battle for AFC East supremacy last night turned into somewhat of a Patriots blowout and a game that was not all that much fun to watch.

Santonio Holmes Gets Vocal About A Pass Interference No-Call
As far as incidental broadcasts of sports profanity go, this is pretty tame (the only less-offensive being your Bobby Knight "chickenshit") but Santonio Holmes' complaint about the no-call on this pass in the second half of the Patriots-Jets SNF matchup is still amusing—especially the belated atte...
Eli Manning Lost To Alex Smith, Is A Bum: Your Sunday NFL Roundup
For whatever reason, Eli will always be considered a terrible quarterback.

Teams Should Probably Stop Punting To Devin Hester

Dez Bryant Sends Jim Nantz Into Hysterics With Great Touchdown Grab
