Jonny Gomes Punts Beers, Hits Old Guy In The Dome
The Red Sox clinched the A.L. East last night against the Blue Jays and engaged in the usual champagne-and-beer-spraying celebration. Fun times.

Beware The Knuckle Punt
You can have your college football opening night. Me, I'll be staying up for a West Coast preseason NFL game, counting off the 49er downs until it's time to punt. That's when Andy Lee will blow minds, break hearts, and fracture phalanges....

Former Texans Punter Suing Reliant Stadium Owners For Being Injured By Its Crappy Field
This week, the Texans brought in a handful of veteran kickers for tryouts. They're reportedly happy with Shayne Graham's field goals, but wish he could get a little more distance on kickoffs.

De'Anthony Thomas's Punt Return TD Against Colorado Is Obscene

It's all so ludicrously surreal you may wi...

The Spinning Magic Of Left-Footed Punters
Why did the Saints, Chargers, and Ravens—three teams with above-average punters—all work out free agent punters last week? No, it's not because any of those teams is scapegoating their punter for the whole team's jaw-dropping inconsistency. Rather, they wanted to practice against left-footed punters...
Did Pat McAfee Kick A 75-Yard Field Goal? (Spoiler Alert: No)
The latest "athlete does something impossible" viral video to make the rounds is Colts punter Pat McAfee nailing consecutive field goals from 65, 70 and 75 yards out.
