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 ...
The Florida Panthers Are All Wearing José Fernández Jerseys Tonight
The Florida Panthers paid tribute to José Fernández this evening en masse by all wearing Fernández’s number 16 jersey for their season opener. Here they are taking the ice....
The Panthers Are In Real Trouble
The defending NFC champs are seeing their season slip away faster than anyone could have predicted. After last night’s 17-14 loss to the Buccaneers, Carolina is now just the fifth team (of 100) to make a Super Bowl appearance and start the next season 1-4 or worse—the first since the 2004 Panthers....
Roberto Aguayo Goes From Goat To Hero By Finally Making A Field Goal<em></em>
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a mediocre, waterlogged 2-3 team and the biggest story of their season is the fragile psyche of their kicker, who they traded up to draft in the second round. Roberto Aguayo was the most accurate kicker in college football history, but he struggled throughout the preseas...
Cam Newton Ruled Out For Monday Night Game Under Concussion Protocol
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has been ruled out for Monday night’s game after suffering a concussion in last week’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons....
Pitt Offensive Lineman Scores Fat Guy Touchdown
