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.

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

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.

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....

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....

CNN Anchor Talks Powerball, Is Extremely Bad At Math

There’s a good chance that at some point this week your dumbest Facebook friend—Craig, I’m guessing—shared that stupid meme claiming that the $1.3 billion powerball jackpot could in fact solve poverty in America. Turns out CNN news anchor Chris Cuomo is just as dumb as that poor idiot Craig....
