Mike Lombardi Wrote Doug Pederson A Letter Apologizing For Being A Dummy
Football Knower Mike Lombardi infamously said that Eagles head coach Doug Pederson was “less qualified to coach a team than anyone I’ve ever seen” before the start of last season.

A strong block from Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry in Friday’s preseason game against the Bills has some Buffalo players calling him out for his history of aggressive, damaging plays—especially against their team. ...
MLB Network Falls For Joke Report That Trevor Bauer Is Treating Himself For "CIA Nanites"
It’s possible to believe a lot of whacky stories about Trevor Bauer, who is both a big old dummy and also a too-online crank who once wanted to use a soldering iron to cauterize a finger wound. A report that Bauer wants to use alternative methods to treat the stress fracture in his right fibula woul...
Josh Gordon Returns From Unexplained Leave Of Absence
Josh Gordon’s unexplained leave of absence from the start of Browns training camp—something Gordon described as “part of my overall health and treatment plan” when it was announced back in July—is now apparently over. Gordon announced Saturday that he’s rejoining the team:...
Turns Out Corey Coleman Asked For A Trade From The Browns
Former 2016 first-round pick Corey Coleman was traded away for a conditional seventh-round pick two weeks ago, making him one of nine Browns first-rounders since 2011 to have been jettisoned for cents on the dollar. ...
Tyrod Taylor Has Been Letting People Mispronounce His Name This Whole Time
Tyrod Taylor is about to begin his eighth season in the NFL, his fourth as a full-time starting quarterback, and his first with the Cleveland Browns (the poor bastard). All this time, his first name has been pronounced incorrectly, apparently....
Athletic Writer Throws Fit Over Rhode Island Not Giving Into Stadium Financing Scheme
A hot new sports media startup may not be the place you’d expect to find a braindead take lifted straight from a dead-tree columnist’s 1996 notebook, but then you remember that The Athletic, in its quest to destroy all print sports sections, did hire plenty of middle-aged white guys. One of those gu...
Jarvis Landry Whips Ball Into Teammate's Face, Starts Fight
The highlight of the preseason so far has been new Browns receiver Jarvis Landry laying into his fellow receivers for being weak little babies who don’t practice enough. Landry’s intensity does not seem to have quieted down since then, judging by this fight he started with cornerback Terrance Mitche...
The Constantly Stupid Braves Announcing Booth Has Infected Jeff Francoeur
Even in a profession that asks old men to talk about baseball non-stop for four hours a night, the Atlanta Braves’ announcing team stands out for its dedication to infuriating dumbassery. Most often, it’s the duo of Joe Simpson and Chip Caray who do the heavy lifting, running their mouths about suit...
Jalen Ramsey Suspended After Throwing Fit Over Reporter Doing His Job
A scuffle broke out at the Jacksonville Jaguars’ practice on Sunday when defensive end Dante Fowler had to be separated from defensive end Yannick Ngakoue. The fight didn’t appear to be anything remarkable as far as training camp fights go, and we know that because Florida Times-Union reporter Phill...
The Browns Punished Antonio Callaway By Making Him Play Preseason Football
One of the most common punishments in the NFL is the suspension, in which a player who misbehaves or runs afoul of the law isn’t allowed to play in his team’s game. But since we’re in preseason right now—an awful time on the NFL calendar when every player’s goal is simply to avoid a season-ending in...
Asshole Will Muschamp Blames Alarming Maryland Football Report On "Gutless" Former Coaches And Lousy Players
Here is South Carolina head football coach Will Muschamp—a meathead sack of shit—commenting on reports that the Maryland football program run by D.J. Durkin was toxic and subjected players to intimidation, humiliation, and extreme physical exhaustion, factors that may have contributed to the death o...
Please, God, I Can't Handle A Preseason Deflategate
Try to imagine the worst possible NFL preseason storyline. If you think hard enough, you’ll probably come up with the vague outlines of something involving... the Pittsburgh Steelers... deflated footballs... and... sports radio dingus Howard Eskin? Well guess what, asshole, that’s the shit we’re in ...
Angry Indy-League Manager Takes Third Base, Gives It To A Kid
On Monday, a game between the Chicago Dogs and the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks of the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball produced an historically great baseball tantrum when RedHawks player Brennan Metzger told an umpire to go live in a trash can. On Tuesday, Dogs manager Butch Ho...
Jarvis Landry Spends 98 Seconds Cursing Out His Fellow Browns Receivers
The Browns are the subject of this season’s Hard Knocks, and new arrival Jarvis Landry is the early star of the show. On last night’s episode, Landry gave a speech to his fellow Browns receivers that was bursting with obscene declarations against weakness....

Richie Incognito Is Lashing Out At The Vikings [Update]

Angry Baseball Guy Brings Trash Can Onto Field, Tells Umpire To "Go To Your Home"
Most sports meltdowns burn out quickly or overstay their welcome and become a bore. But sometimes, a rare and precious freakout pushes beyond that second phase, transcending a few moments of hotheadedness and continuing off into the realm of High Art. Brennan Metzger achieved such a feat last night....
Yankees Play-By-Play Guy Michael Kay Is In Hot Water With Clint Frazier
In an animated discussion on his radio show Monday, about the four-game weekend series sweep that all but knocked the Yankees out of contention in the AL East, Yankees television play-by-play man Michael Kay was at the very least clumsy with his choice of words while bitching about which Yankees wer...
The Browns Have Turned Yet Another First-Round Pick Into A Bag Of Shit
American sports are set up to all but guarantee that a franchise as putrid as the Cleveland Browns cannot remain putrid for eternity. All those losing seasons just add up to higher first-round draft picks, which should eventually add up to winning seasons. It take some real work to waste free ticket...
Shawn Kelley's Glove-Throwing Meltdown Will Cost Him His Spot On The Nationals
Last night, Nationals reliever Shawn Kelley gave up a completely meaningless ninth-inning home run to Austin Jackson, which turned the Nationals 23-run win into a 21-run win. Maybe he was mad about dulling Washington’s historic margin, or maybe he was just angry that he was in the game at all, but K...
