Peyton Manning Told Bill Belichick "This Might Be My Last Rodeo"

Bill Belichick declined to share what he spoke about with Peyton Manning at midfield following Denver’s elimination of New England in the AFC Championship. Now, thanks to a conveniently thrust microphone, we know some of it....

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

Stats don’t always explain a game; this one does. The Broncos hit Tom Brady 20 times yesterday. No NFL quarterback has been hit that many times in a full decade....

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...

Broncos DE Derek Wolfe On The Patriots: "I Hate Everything About Them"

The Patriots and the Broncos are in the midst of a rather entertaining shit talking session in the lead-up to tomorrow’s AFC Championship game. Earlier in the week, Broncos players called Brady a crybaby and talked some shit about how Rob Gronkowski was a dirty player. It’s abundantly clear that the...

Stephen Curry Is A Fictional Character From Planet X

One of baseball’s last remaining virtues is that the maxim “Watch any baseball game, and you’ll see something you’ve never seen before” is generally true. We think it’s about time that rule be applied to any time Steph Curry is on a basketball court... or off it....

ESPN Dumbass Danny Kanell Calls For Broncos To Commit Late Hits On Tom Brady

We don’t deny that it would be hilarious to watch Von Miller cream an unsuspecting Tom Brady well after the whistle. But we certainly can’t endorse it, which is exactly what ESPN’s Danny Kanell did on his radio show today....

The Man Who Was Vigo The Carpathian Gets A Compelling Mini-Documentary

No Small Parts, a fan-made documentary series about character actors, has produced this lovely piece on Norbert Grupe, aka Prince Wilhelm von Homburg, aka Vigo the Carpathian, aka one of the biggest assholes there was. It’s based off of Shaun Raviv’s piece on Grupe that we published in October, and ...

Wow, Makes U Think 

The Broncos Have Started Trash Talking The Patriots And “Crybaby” Tom Brady

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. That Denver defense is the league’s best, and its trash talk focused on the Patriots’ offense’s best, including Tom Brady, who the Bro...

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. The Bulldogs have looked good at times this season—and knocking off the league leader would have improved t...

Kirk Herbstreit Has Bad Opinions About The <i>NCAA Football</i> Video Game

SEC Country just released part of an interview with college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit that was conducted back in November.

Ron Rivera Banned Hoverboards Because Players Were Drag Racing On Them 

Those little electric scooter thingies that everyone insists on calling hoverboards are a well-known menace, but that hasn’t stopped the Carolina Panthers from doing very unwise things with them....

Peyton Manning Told Emmanuel Sanders To Be Ready For His Self-Sack

For a Broncos’ offense without much going in the air (Peyton Manning’s struggles didn’t magically go away, though the receivers’ drops may have hurt more than anything else), Denver’s longest play from scrimmage was a weird one. Early in the fourth quarter, Manning slid to the turf to avoid perceive...

The Steelers Couldn't Afford The Mistake They Made

Had it all gone right for the Steelers, Fitzgerald Toussaint wouldn’t have fumbled away a promising drive with ten minutes left, leading to the Broncos’ go-ahead and ultimately winning score. Of course, had it all gone right for the Steelers, Toussaint wouldn’t have been in there....

Ohio State Forces Overtime With Last-Second Goal Off The Draw

Ohio State came back to beat Michigan at home tonight after nine rounds of penalty shots that only happened because Anthony Greco forced overtime by scoring the tying goal with seven seconds remaining—off the faceoff....

I Want To Punt The Houston Super Bowl Mascot's Dumb Head

Super Bowl 51 will be in Houston on Feb. 5, 2017, and today, the city’s Super Bowl committee unveiled its mascot. His name is TD, and he’s a football dressed up in a football uniform. He also has a smile, I think. It could be a misplaced lace....
