Counterpoint: Oh God, I Think I'm Going To Be Sick

Here, as best I can approximate it in text, is the sound I made when I saw the above photo for the first time: Whuuhhuuhuhhhhhhuulckk. It was the sound of the sudden fear that I might puke. If the internet contains a more distressing photograph than that one, I will just have to take your word for i...

Would You Eat This? I Would Eat This

I don’t remember how, but we stumbled upon this recipe earlier in the week: a “Pepperoni Pizza Football Cheese Ball,” made by our new buddy Trish at Mom on Timeout. There were those on staff who were grossed out by what appears to be a neutron star of meaty cheesy gluttony. I disagree. Actually, the...

The Super Bowl is here! KIND OF! Only… (looks at calendar, lets out heavy sigh) 10 more days until the game, and you need to plan!

A Broncos Pass Rusher Tried To Rub His Dong And Balls In Tom Brady's Face

Bill Belichick Doesn't Regret Going For It On Fourth Down, Twice

The Patriots nearly pulled out a miracle tying drive thanks to two fourth-down conversions, but the game and the circumstances might’ve been vastly different if two earlier fourth-down tries had been successful—or never attempted at all. Of all the what-ifs New England is dealing with today, two Bil...

The Broncos Put The Fear Of God Into Tom Brady

Von Miller And DeMarcus Ware Are Whirling Dervishes Of Death

The Broncos don’t put forth dominant or even good offensive performances anymore, but with a defense as terrifying as theirs, they don’t even need to be any better than competent on that side of the ball to win. In a weird way, the AFC Championship game was less tense for Broncos fans when Peyton Ma...

Wow, Makes U Think

We’re off to a great start ahead of Sunday’s AFC championship game, thanks to a handful of Broncos defenders who wasted no time in providing bulletin board material.

Cezar Guerrero Wild Desperation Shot Forces Overtime Against San Diego State

SDSU held for an home win tonight against Fresno State, but it came with some difficulty after an overtime period forced when Fresno’s Cezar Guerrero hit a miracle three-pointer at the buzzer.
