Texas Tech Beats Texas On Trick Play Touchdown
For the first time since 1997, Texas Tech beat Texas in Austin last night in a 48-45 thriller.

Report: NFL Might Not Come To Los Angeles Until 2017
An NFL team moving to Los Angeles next season has felt inevitable for most of the year, but that might not be the case anymore.

Reports: Aldon Smith Suspended For One Year
Raiders defensive end Aldon Smith will be suspended by the NFL for one calendar year, according to numerous reports. The suspension stems from Smith’s Aug. 6 arrest for DUI (his third DUI arrest and fifth overall), hit and run, and vandalism. That arrest was the straw that broke the camel’s back and...
Report: Raiders Linebacker Investigated For Taunting A Police Dog
Hey, did you know that taunting a police dog in the state of Pennsylvania is a felony? I’m willing to bet Ray-Ray Armstrong, the Raiders linebacker who is reportedly under investigation for doing just that, didn’t know it was a felony....
Mount Union Football Coaches Crush It As Pro Wrestlers For Halloween Practice
The Mount Union Purple Raiders are the best team in the history of Division III football, having won 23 straight conference titles and 11 of the past 22 national titles.

Raiders Owner Mark Davis Cheered By Fans He Wants To Abandon Or Steal From
The NFL held its third and final town hall meeting on relocation last night.

The Chargers Will File For Relocation To Los Angeles In January
It’s increasingly apparent that the NFL will have at least one NFL team (and probably three) playing in Los Angeles soon. The only uncertainty is which teams and when. Yesterday, the San Diego Chargers made a public declaration that they will apply for relocation. ...

WKU Accidentally Recovers Onside Kick
Western Kentucky’s putting a real beatdown on MTSU today, and things got even worse for the Blue Raiders when the Hilltoppers’ attempt at a squib kick ended up in WKU hands. We’re mostly surprised this sort of thing doesn’t happen more often....
Mark Davis Travels 500 Fucking Miles To Look Like That!
Probably no haircut in human history has communicated as devastating a summation of its owner’s entire life as the insane orange Moe Howard bowl cut sported by Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis. Carve the shape of it into the wall of his father Al Davis’s mausoleum and it will tell a richer and truer...
Appreciate Texas Tech's Near-Miracle Game Winner In Slow Motion

TCU Avoids Embarrassing Texas Tech Loss With Miracle TD Catch
Trevone Boykin found Aaron Green off a ricochet to help the third-ranked TCU Horned Frogs beat Texas Tech 55-52 in the sort of manic game Red Raiders fans have seen in Lubbock for about a decade now. The fourth down play with less than a minute left came and the end of a 53-yard, two-and-a-half minu...
The NFL Wants Players To Help Pay For New Los Angeles Stadium
The NFL is coming to Los Angeles soon, no matter what Oaklanders, St. Louisans, San Diegans, or local labor groups have to say about it. The sheer amount of money behind the proposed moves of one or all of the Rams, Chargers, or Raiders, coupled with the NFL’s desire to break into the country’s #2 m...

Raiders Give Middle Finger To The NFL, Refuse To Put Gold Marks On Field
As part of the celebrations for the 50th Super Bowl later this season, every NFL field has the ‘50’ painted gold, like the above photo from the Steelers’ stadium. Every NFL team, that is, except for the Raiders, who played on a field absent of gold in Weeks 1 and 2. ...
Kliff Kingsbury Clowns Bret Bielema After Texas Tech Beats Arkansas
It has not been a good year for Arkansas football and Bret Bielema. The Razorbacks came into the season ranked #18, but have since wilted. Bielema made fun of Ohio State for having an easy schedule, then his team went and lost to Toledo, the type of opponent he had just dismissed....

Welcome to the NFL rook! Jones is going to have to find something to do next weekend. Here are some ideas, man....
NFL's Los Angeles Move Could Bring Divisional Realignment
If the Chargers and Raiders move to a shared stadium in Los Angeles—as currently appears to be the most likely outcome—the NFL will probably not want them continuing to share a division. That’s absolutely no problem, with both teams telling the league they’re willing to be moved if necessary....
