Two More Players Join Colin Kaepernick In Sitting Out The National Anthem
The 49ers traveled down to San Diego for a preseason game against the Chargers on “Salute to the Military” night.

The Chiefs Will Fight The NFL On Tampering Penalties
The Kansas City Chiefs have been hit by the NFL with a raft of penalties for illegally tampering with Jeremy Maclin during 2015's “legal tampering” period, and, frankly, it’s pretty insane. The penalties are harsher than any previously imposed, and the violation was one that undoubtedly happens doze...
Oregon State Forward Suspended At Least Four Games For Tripping Ref
Oregon State suspended forward Jarmal Reid a “minimum” of four games, after he tripped referee Tommy Nunez during Sunday night’s game against Utah.

Andy Reid Is Still Andy Reid

Andy Reid Has His Challenge Flag Taken Away
Andy Reid has won 48 of his 101 challenges in his 17-year NFL head coaching career. He loves tossing that red flag onto the field, replay be damned.

Report: Fake ESPN President Tried To Get D.C. Radio Show Cancelled
Last week, we reported on how former Washington Post columnist Jason Reid's new radio show The Man Cave, which was supposed to debut last Monday on Dan Snyder-owned and ESPN-affiliated WTEM, didn't.

Did Dan Snyder Kill A Redskins Critic's Radio Show?
Bruce Allen is the Washington Redskins' president and an unwitting jokester, well-known for such thigh-slappers as his claim that no matter how bad the team is, they're "winning off the field." He accidentally inspired more guffaws last week by claiming that his boss, team owner Dan Snyder, "doesn't...

Harry Reid's Office Is Laughing At The Sad #RedskinsPride Campaign
We weren't going to do this, we swear.

Harry Reid with support for the team name, was backfiring wildly. Then we heard from ...

Why The Chiefs Lost
Chiefs players might feel terrible this morning, but they pulled off a rather impressive feat last night. Despite losing Jamaal Charles, inarguably their best offensive player, to a possible concussion six plays into the game, Kansas City's offense still produced 44 points. It's a shame that the Col...
Chiefs-Colts Was The Classic Playoff Game We Get Every Year
It happens nearly every year and we're always surprised, but Chiefs-Colts was another insane NFL playoff game. After a close first quarter, the Chiefs jumped all over the Colts in the second quarter with 21 points and headed into the half—on an Andrew Luck interception—with a 31-10 lead. The Colts c...
