John Elway On His Struggling Left Tackle Garett Bolles: "Does He Know What Holding Is?"
The start of this NFL season has been frustrating for the Broncos, who dropped their Monday night opener in Oakland then lost to the Bears because of a soft roughing-the-passer penalty on Bradley Chubb.

Kyler Murray's Snap Clap Might Be A Problem
Kyler Murray played four series in the Cardinals’ loss to the Raiders on Thursday, going 3-for-8 for 12 yards. Not great. But also who cares, it’s preseason. Potentially much more relevant were the two false start penalties he was called for in the first quarter....
Josef Martínez's Hideous Penalty Kick Run-Up Ends In Humiliation
The reward for Josef Martínez’s frankly insane penalty kick routine is an unreadable technique that makes it easy to best keepers from the spot, as evidenced by the Atlanta United forward’s 14-for-16 penalty record in MLS. The risk is that it makes him look like a huge weirdo and sets him up for rid...
Craig Berube Works The Refs, Because Not Much Else Is Working For The Blues

Chivas U-17 player Diego Campillo probably thought he’d screwed his team when he bounced his penalty kick off the crossbar against Lobos BUAP last weekend. Fortunately for him, he missed the first go in such spectacular fashion that the ball wound up going in after a nice little trip to the ionosphe...
The Seahawks Crapped The Bed
What exactly are the Seahawks? Are they closer to the team that stumbled out to records of 0-2, 2-3, and 4-5? Or to the team that then reeled off four wins in a row and looked entirely ready to come into Santa Clara and claim a playoff berth on their lowly rivals’ home field? Or the team that prompt...

Matthew Tkachuk Won't Stop Being A Pain In The Ass
Calgary Flames forward Matthew Tkachuk (on the bench, wearing No. 19) delivered his second dirty play within a month in Wednesday’s loss against the Leafs.

The Jags Are Baffled After Losing Because Of A Silly Penalty<em></em>
