Your Chance To See Philly Fans In Prime Time
A night game in Philadelphia always seems, to us, like asking for trouble. Even if fans actually do go to work today, if they leave at 5 p.m., they're gonna have enough time to really mess some matters up. Or, you know, paint their bodies....
Leave Bill Belichick Alone!
This guy must have watched the Crazy Britney Fan video at least fifty times to achieve this degree of nuance, and for that I salute him. He also gets a couple points for the Brady jersey.

National Wide Receivers Day
Houston 34, Carolina 21. Matt Schaub had his second straight solid start — man, that's a lot of S's — completing 20-of-28 passes for 227 yards and two touchdowns (both to Andre Johnson). On the other side of the ball, Steve Smith caught 8 passes, compiled 153 yards, scored three TDs and fixed a dish...
Four O'clock Is Also A Great Time Of Day
I'll be honest; I'm struggling to keep up with all of this hot football action. It just keeps coming and coming. No wonder Will called in the entire KSK crew to tackle it last weekend. I mean, where the fuck is Tas? Anyway, here's a quick look at the four o'clock schedule....
Where We Stand After Twenty-Four Mins ...
PIT 12, BUF 0 I hope you fantasy team's not playing against Josh — er, Jeff — Reed today: he's got four field goals. And hey, what the hell is up with those Steelers' uniforms? I thought the Bills were playing the Hamilton Tiger Cats for a second....

Exclusive New England Patriots Spy Video
Yeah, I know. I'm supposed to leave Bill Belichick alone. ("He's a human being!") But I couldn't resist posting this exclusive video footage that shows just how those sneaky Pats managed to cheat against the Jets. I mean, Madden? Who would've thunk it?...

Chairman Belichick's Revenge
Last month, Eric Gillin, editor of Esquire.com and a founding editor of The Black Table, previewed the New England Patriots by comparing them to Communist China.

Larry Johnson's Bewildering Denial
So, what do we know about Chiefs running back Larry Johnson? He's probably a little overworked, he went through a nasty contract battle in the offseason and he's best pals with Jay-Z. So when we listen to his the big alleged Larry Johnson anti-Chiefs rant that's all the rage this morning, we are bew...

Steely McBeam Gets Him Some Lady Lovin'

Vote Boulware! (Or Something)
When we think about NFL players of the last 10 years or so we'd imagine running for office someday, we can't say that former Ravens linebacker Peter Boulware was the first guy to come to mind. He's never had any problems in his life or anything; it's not like Michael Irvin or anything. (Or, you know...
