Brett Favre Was The Third Choice For <em>There's Something About Mary</em>

Brett Favre's memorable cameo in There's Something About Mary wouldn't have happened if the Farrelly Brothers had gotten their way (and if Drew Bledsoe hadn't injured a woman stage-diving at an Everclear concert)....

Matt Flynn Had A Hell Of A Time At Last Night's Pearl Jam Concert

Packers backup quarterback Matt Flynn—along with linemen Josh Sitton and T.J. Lang—went to Pearl Jam's show in Milwaukee Monday night. Reader Collin was also there, and did confirm that Flynn was enjoying himself....

The Packers Are Laying The Beatdown Of The Season On The Panthers

Carolina-Green Bay is into the third quarter, and the Panthers are just about flatlining. Green Bay went up 21-0 in the first quarter, and have it at 35-3 in the third. Short of the miraculous, this is already one of the blowouts out of the season. ...

Photos: Dolphins, Packers Fans Brawl In Parking Lot

Here are some very well-composed photos from a brawl between Dolphins and Packers fans outside of Sun Life Stadium before yesterday's game. According to the photo captions, shirtless bro repped the Packers. He does not appear to have won....

Not Even His Receivers Knew Aaron Rodgers's Fake Spike Was Coming

It wasn't quite a Dan Marino redux in Miami, as Aaron Rodgers's fake spike, which fooled as many Packers as it did Dolphins, didn't come on the winning touchdown. (It merely put Green Bay in prime position for that on the next play.) But we'll never not stop to appreciate an elegant bit of footb...

This Demented Letter About A Packers Party Is In Comic Sans, Of Course

Green Bay Press-Gazette editor Amy Bailey wrote her Oct. 1 column about an incident at a Packers viewing party she attended. It was straightforward: A man said, "It's a big ol' nigger pile," during a fumble, and Bailey called him out for saying a racist thing. Because yes, calling a scrum for a foot...

Thursday Games Not Shitty, Says NFL After Another Shitty Thursday Game

So, that was gross. Vikings-Packers finished with a score of a million to a little, or somewhere in that range. (I have to look it up. I didn't watch, because I don't hate myself.) And yet, it wasn't close to the biggest blowout nor the worst game on the Thursday night slate so far....

Tonight's Vikings-Packers Game, In One GIF

If you decided not to tune into tonight's NFL game, well, you made the right decision....

Lions Linebacker Injures Himself While Celebrating [UPDATE]

That was Lions linebacker Stephen Tulloch, signaling what was about to happen to the rest of his football day. He is questionable to return....

Jets Call Timeout, Nullify Own Game-Tying Touchdown, Lose Game [UPDATE]

The Jets called an illegal timeout to cancel out their own game-tying touchdown in the fourth quarter, and ended up losing to the Packers. It was a very Jets sequence....

Why Your Team Sucks 2014: Green Bay Packers

Some people are fans of the Green Bay Packers. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Green Bay Packers. This 2014 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group....

Which NFL Rushing Attacks Do The Most With The Least?

Two years ago, sixth-rounder Alfred Morris held onto his roster spot with a strong preseason and went on to break the Redskins single-season rushing yards record. While steals like Morris are rare, they're also instructive. Some teams invest far fewer resources in their rushing attacks without losin...

It's Very Good To Own An NFL Team

NFL owners cry poverty all the time, usually when they want a new stadium or new CBA. And because their books are private, there's little (save common sense) to dispute their claims. But the Green Bay Packers are publicly owned, and last week, the Packers released their financials....

The Diamondbacks Will Wear Kansas City Throwback Uniforms

Look at that. That's a damn fine uniform. Unis from a century ago were usually pretty great—white or gray, high socks, uncluttered chest logo, and my favorite, logo-less caps. The Diamondbacks will suit up in these bad boys next Wednesday, and they're going to look great, but it's more than little w...

What The Hell's Going On In This Picture Of Aaron Rodgers Sucking Toes?

The gang over at Shot of Ginn got their hands on a weird, weird picture of Aaron Rodgers sucking on an unknown woman's toes. The photo raises many questions, not the least of which is: why? Your guess is as good as ours....

San Diego TV Station Airs Unsettling Photo In Super Bowl Weather Forecast

San Diego station KUSI's evening news tonight followed in the footsteps of most local broadcasts in previewing the weather for Sunday's Super Bowl. Where KUSI differed from those other stations is in their choice of graphics: a bizarre image of Green Bay Packers center Scott Wells holding a baby wit...

Colin Kaepernick Is Cold-Blooded

Colin Kaepernick forgot to strap on his wristband with his team's plays when he took the field for the second half, forcing the 49ers to burn a timeout. He let cornerback Micah Hyde read his eyes on a pass late in the fourth, and only Hyde's drop kept it from being a backbreaking interception. Cling...

Cool Offsides Penalty Has No Effect On 49ers Win

Joe Buck and Troy Aikman might have underplayed how close the 49ers-Packers game was to giving us extra football. Phil Dawson's game-winning kick went through Davon House's arms before it went through the uprights—though House may have been was offsides—as San Francisco won in Lambeau Field, 23-20....
