The Eagles Can't Even Fire Some No-Name Marketing Executive Without Screwing Something Up
The Philadelphia Eagles this afternoon fired someone named Tim McDermott. From a football standpoint, it's not a big deal. McDermott was the team's senior vice president and chief marketing officer, so it's not like he was responsible for, say, drafting Jaiquwan Jarrett. If anything, shitcanning McD...

Steve Smith Goes Big Willie Style
Steve Smith had himself a totally average day: 41 yards receiving and one touchdown. But it's what you do with yourself after the touchdown that counts-and did Smith ever do stuff with himself after the touchdown. Following a 19 yard reception in the second quarter Steve did this little (???) dance ...

Breaking: Pitt Has A Class On Vampires (Also Something About Three Starters Being Charged With Assault)
The AP more often than not still uses a time-tested format called the inverted pyramid, in which the most basic and crucial facts are placed at the top, with increasingly peripheral details as you read down. The idealist says it's so readers get the important stuff early, even if they don't read to ...

The Carolina Panthers Lost By Calling The Exact Same Defensive Coverage Over And Over
Last week, the Giants were able to beat the Redskins by recognizing the coverage. Eli Manning knew he could hit Victor Cruz over the top because Washington, at the end of the game, was running the same schemes it had shown in the two-minute drill at the end of the first half. But even that was cutti...

Cam Newton Spent His Bye Week Soul-Searching And Living Out Every 12-Year-Old's Fantasies
The world is not happy with Cam Newton at present. Newton hasn't been the fantasy force he was last year, and he hasn't been the real-football force, either.

The Panthers were, after all, coming off a 6-10 season, even if it was a 6-10 season in which thei...
