Report: Browns Forget To Complete QB Trade Like A Bunch Of Big Dumbasses

Doug Gottlieb: DeAndre Hopkins Isn't "Smart Enough" To Get "Nuance" Of Bob McNair's "Inmates" Quote
Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins skipped practice today after ESPN published a quote from team owner Bob McNair in which he compared his employees to prison inmates at last week’s NFL meetings. Thankfully, Fox Sports Radio broadcaster Doug Gottlieb was available to bring the white man’s perspect...

Steve Smith Might Really Whoop Michael Irvin's Ass
During Thursday’s NFL Network pregame show, Michael Irvin couldn’t resist taking a shot at Steve Smith’s pants. It seems like a bad idea to joke with the guy who once broke his own teammate’s nose, but it was heartening to see Irvin put his own neck on the line for once....

Tennis Player Chastised By Umpire After He Won Point Without Even Trying
Down 5-1 in the last set to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and returning serve, hope was more or less lost for Damir Dzumhur in today’s second-round Vienna Open match. He could be forgiven for letting his effort lapse, especially after he’d limped around for much of the second set, and even more so after he’d t...

Browns QB Roulette Continues Apace After DeShone Kizer Apologizes For Going To Bar
The Cleveland Browns, who are once again a plague upon this green Earth, have spent the season flipping back and forth between a trio of QBs of varying mediocrity.

The Timberwolves' Cool Youths Mushed The Thunder
When Carmelo Anthony’s high-arcing three from the left wing splashed in, to give his Oklahoma City Thunder a 113-112 fourth-quarter lead over the Timberwolves last night, it also left just under five seconds on the game clock. Time enough for Minnesota’s Andrew Wiggins to do this:...

Browns' Only Strength Also Ruined
With an injury to Joe Thomas’s triceps, the lone good thing about the Cleveland Browns came to an end. The stalwart tackle, who had played in 10,363 straight offensive snaps since debuting for Cleveland in 2007, had to leave the game after a three-yard run from Duke Johnson....

TBS Sucks
I am aggravated hourly and nearly minutely by some dumb bullshit on television, but never with such consistency as come each MLB postseason, when America’s Home For Friends And Family Guy reruns TBS is mysteriously transformed into a media outlet worthy of broadcasting playoff baseball games.

Mike McCarthy Snaps At Reporter For Asking About Colin Kaepernick
The Packers’ quarterback situation is suddenly very dire. Aaron Rodgers is likely out for the season with a broken collarbone, and the team now has to start Brett Hundley, a former fifth-round pick with 44 career NFL pass attempts. Perhaps even more worrying is the fact that behind Hundley is Joe Ca...

Apparently DeShone Kizer Just Needed One Week Off
When Browns head coach Hue Jackson announced that he was benching rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer last week, it seemed like he had a decent plan in mind. The Browns, already 0-5 at that point, had three more games against the Texans, Titans, and Vikings before their bye week. Here was a chance for ...
