Bill Belichick No Longer Owns A Park Slope Brownstone; Bill Belichick Owned A Park Slope Browstone
Ah, Park Slope: where diligently hip mothers push extravagant strollers into studiously low-key coffee shops, where you're nobody if you don't get your kale at the most organic of the four farmer's markets on your block, where you retire at 45 after your loosely-defined art collective produces no a...
Here's Bill Belichick Making Gross Noises
Bill Belichick has a reputation for giving boring soundbites, but during his press conference following Sunday night's game against the Ravens, the moments when he wasn't talking are what stood out.

Arizona 20, New England 18: The Game In One GIF

Here's Rob Gronkowski Making An Ass Of Himself While Actually On The Field
We're used to seeing Gronk make a fool of himself on the dance floor or at bars, usually without a shirt on.

Nothing Better Illustrates The Futility Of Replacement Refs Than This Video Of One Being Hit By A Football
Jerry Frump wore the white hat for last night's Patriots-Eagles preseason game, and like all of this year's replacement-refereed games it was a bit of a disaster for the zebras.
