"It Hit My Ass": Jaromir Jagr Is The NHL's Second All-Time Leading Scorer
Earlier this month, the Penguins commemorated the 25th anniversary of their back-to-back Stanley Cups, and most of the players from those teams were on hand in Pittsburgh to celebrate. Not Jaromir Jagr. He had a game that night....
Dean Blandino Explains Why Yet Another Hit On Cam Newton Didn't Draw A Flag
The latest edition of What Will it Take for Cam Newton to Draw a Flag? aired on Monday night, when a scrambling Newton slid—maybe late—and got hit helmet-to-helmet—maybe glancing—by Washington LB Trent Murphy. There was a flag thrown on a play: a taunting call on Newton for flipping the football at ...
The Skins Controlled Their Own Destiny Until They Dropped It In A Puddle Of Their Own Barf
It must’ve been quite the kick in the dick for Washington fans to root for Dallas on Sunday night, so the Skins could overtake Tampa for pole position for the second NFC wild-card spot, only to watch their team hand the advantage right back to the Bucs....
Cam Newton Takes Hit To The Head, Somehow Ends Up Being The One Penalized
Defenses have been abusing Cam Newton all season, and NFL officiating teams have continued to keep the flags in their pockets. So when the flag came out after Trent Murphy’s blow to the Carolina QB’s skull after a third-down rush tonight against Washington, it was a short-lived sigh of relief for Pa...
Trump Nominates Florida Panthers Owner As Secretary Of The Army
President-elect Donald Trump announced today that he intends to nominate billionaire Florida Panthers owner and army veteran Vincent Viola as the Secretary of the Army, a non-cabinet level position. The Panthers said Viola’s appointment will not change anything about the team’s day-to-day operations...

Cam Newton Was Benched For Not Wearing A Tie
In what will, assuming God is merciful, be the dumbest NFL story of the week, it turns out that the reason why Cam Newton didn’t start for the Carolina Panthers last night against the Seattle Seahawks was that he wouldn’t dress like a clown....

The Panthers Started Derek Anderson Over Cam Newton As A Coach's Decision [Update]
The Panthers’ offense lasted exactly one play in its first drive against the Seahawks tonight after Derek Anderson threw an interception on his first pass attempt of the game. For some reason, Cam Newton was benched, and it’s unclear why the much better QB wasn’t on the field....
Richard Sherman Drops Delayed Burn On Cam Newton
Richard Sherman is not one to easily suffer slights. Last year after the Panthers beat the Seahawks in the playoffs, Cam Newton was running a circuit around the Panthers’ stadium for his customary parade of high-fives, when he grabbed a “12th man” flag, crumpled it up, and tossed it....
Florida Panthers Fire Coach Gerard Gallant, Make Him Catch A Taxi
Twenty-two games into a disappointing season, the Florida Panthers fired head coach Gerard Gallant last night, and while the decision is questionable enough, the way it went down is awkward as hell. For one, the team didn’t officially announce the move until about an hour ago, leaving it to media to...
Derek Anderson Flagged On The Bench For "Disrespectfully Addressing An Official"
Carolina Panthers backup QB Derek Anderson was upset that his team didn’t get a pass interference call late in the second quarter—upset enough to yell at an official from the sidelines. Anderson received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for “disrespectfully addressing an official,” all the way ...
Pitt Beats Syracuse 76-61 Not In Basketball
Pittsburgh defeated Syracuse on Saturday by a score of 76-61, the highest-scoring FBS regulation game in history. ...
Luke Kuechly's Tears Hit Hard
Why is it so unsettling that Luke Kuechly cried? This is a sport where players suffer brain injuries every single game, yet Kuechly’s apparent concussion and subsequent reaction as he was carted off the field has completely overshadowed the Panthers’ win, in a way that doesn’t happen when someone is...
Luke Kuechly Weeps His Way Off The Field After Scary Injury
Panthers star linebacker Luke Kuechly took a nasty head injury in the fourth quarter of tonight’s close game against the Saints. Kuechly had to be carted off and he did not hide his emotions as he was leaving the field. It wasn’t immediately apparent what part of his body exactly Kuechly hurt, but t...
Pitt Stuns Clemson
Chris Blewitt’s 48-yard field goal in the final seconds gave Pitt a 43-42 win over second-ranked and undefeated Clemson, throwing the college football playoff race into chaos....
Cam Newton Is Still Getting Destroyed, Still Not Getting Flags
Just days after announcing he was worried about his safety, Cam Newton took a pair of vicious hits that went unflagged. Sunday at the Rams, Newton was drilled twice with helmet-to-helmet hits. And according to ESPN’s Ed Werder, the league reviewed the plays and determined no rules were violated....
Cam Newton Is Right To Be Pissed
After he took a hit to his knee that wasn’t flagged on Sunday, Cam Newton went off on the NFL. “At times I don’t even feel safe,” Newton, the reigning league MVP, said at the start of an extended rant about calls he frequently doesn’t get. “And enough is enough.”...
Pitt Runs Tackle-Around For Fat Guy Touchdown
Pitt tied up Virginia Tech tonight with another touchdown by offensive tackle Brian O’Neill. The 300-pounder took a backward pass to the end zone earlier this year against Georgia Tech, and tonight took a forward handoff—we called this the Revolving Door Play back where I come from—for a five-yard t...
Cam Newton Walks Out Of Press Conference
Corner a Panthers fan today and press them about their team, and they’ll likely react not dissimilarly to Cam Newton in his postgame press conference. Deep sighs, terse answers, and if you ask what it’s like to sit there and watch Carolina’s defense get burned again and again, they’ll probably make ...
