Rob Gronkowski Danced Shirtless And Wrestled At A Vegas Club And Fell On His Bad Arm
Sunday was the Super Bowl, yes, but it was also a day whose name ended in “-y” after the Patriots’ season had ended. So Rob Gronkowski, naturally, was drinking and dancing shirtless somewhere. But he went further than usual this time around!...
Bernard Pollard Has A Broken Rib For Nearly Every Patriot He Has Injured
According to the Baltimore Sun's Aaron Wilson, Ravens safety Bernard Pollard played most of the season, including the Super Bowl, with six broken ribs....
Here's A Photo Of Johnny Manziel And Rob Gronkowski Wearing Shirts And Not Drinking
If you asked us which two athletes would be most likely to team up and flood the internet with photos of themselves shirtless and partying during a night out, our answer would be simple: Johnny Manziel and Rob Gronkowski. And yet, here we are, staring at a photo of Manziel and Gronk that features n...
Boston Is Really Bummed Out About The Super Bowl
This is almost too good to be true. It's taken only a handful of years for Title Town to completely revert back to the blubbering, blundering, sad-sack Boston we all know and love. It has been eight years since the Patriots won a Super Bowl. Eight! That is almost an entire decade of complete and tot...
Rob Gronkowski Went To Baton Rouge For A Night Of Shirtless Partying
Giant man-puppy Rob Gronkowski has been in New Orleans all week, enjoying the Super Bowl festivities. Yesterday, he swung by the SportsCenter set to tell us that he hates being injured "to the max," and then he made one little kid's year by dropping $100 on a glass of lemonade. Once Gronk was finis...
Port Said Soccer Violence Leads To 21 Death Sentences, Which Kick Off City-Wide Riots
Today, nearly a year after 79 died when supporters of rival soccer teams Al-Masry and Al-Ahly fought in the Al-Ahly stadium after a Feb. 1 game in the Egyptian city of Port Said, a court sentenced 21 people to death in connection with the riot. Trouble began to brew in Port Said shortly after the ve...
Tom Brady's New House Literally Has A Moat
Above, Tom Brady's new $20 million California home, which, besides being sunken into what looks like an un-traversable valley, also has a moat—literally, a moat. You can't really see it from the above angle because the massive house is blocking our view, but here's another view, where you can the m...
Patriots Player's House Robbed During AFC Championship
Patriots journeyman safety Derrick Martin nearly enshrined himself as a good luck charm—he was on the Packers two years ago when they won the Super Bowl (though he finished the season on IR) and was a Giant when they took the Lombardi Trophy last year. Instead New England came up a game short on Sun...

Wes Welker's Wife Took To Facebook To Say Some Unkind Things About Ray Lewis [Update]
After watching her husband's team lose the AFC Championship game, Anna Burns Welker, wife of Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker, decided that it would be a good idea to comment on the game via her Facebook page. Anna Welker began her message by offering support to her husband and his team, which is ...
Shannon Sharpe Actually Makes Sense Talking About Bill Belichick's Refusal To Do Post-Game Interview
Following his team's loss at home to the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship, Bill Belichick declined an on-field post-game interview with CBS's Steve Tasker. It was a childish move, but not necessarily a surprising one. On the the CBS post-game show in studio, Shannon Sharpe actually had som...
Watch The Baltimore Police Department's Crazed, Militaristic Tribute To The Ravens (Includes Cop Rap)
Oh dear. What can one even say about this video, created by the Baltimore police department in anticipation of this weekend's AFC championship game between the Ravens and the Patriots? It's got everything that a terrible hype video needs: "Seven Nation Army" playing the background, bad camera angl...
Rob Gronkowski's Twice-Broken Arm Might Always Be At Risk
Rob Gronkowski broke his left forearm back in November, and had surgery to fix it. He returned for Week 17, played sparingly, then broke his left forearm in the Patriots' first playoff game. It's easy enough to jump to the conclusion that he came back too soon, that he wasn't completely healed up ye...
Brendon Ayanbadejo Is Already Chirping About The Patriots' "Gimmick" Offense
Ravens LB Brendon Ayanbadejo made headlines last summer when he very publicly announced his support of Maryland's gay-marriage referendum. Now he's opening himself up to an even more hateful bunch of opponents—Pats fans. (See?) Ayanbadejo didn't even wait for New England to finish its asskicking of ...

Your Divisional Playoffs Open Thread
Seattle at Atlanta 1:00 p.m. (FOX): Well, it's put up or shut up for the "Falcons stink in the playoffs" narrative. It really could not have shaken out any worse for them, though, as the white-hot Seattle Seahawks come into town. While Atlanta was winding down the season, securing the top seed in th...
Arian Foster Took Special Exception To Dan Shaughnessy's Especially Terrible Texans Column
There's a good case to be made that the Patriots face an easy road to the AFC championship game. In recent weeks the Texans have looked less like the team that gored the league for the better part of the last two years and more like the reliably .500 team they were early in Gary Kubiak's tenure. As ...
And Now, Donté Stallworth Blowing The Lid Off An H1N1 Vaccine Conspiracy
Donté Stallworth hasn't seen much playing time with the Patriots this year. He's only played in one game, and his 63-yard touchdown reception against the Texans marks the only time he's gotten his hands on the ball. This doesn't mean that Stallworth hasn't been busy, though. He spends a lot of time...

Angry Tom Brady Nearly Inspired The Patriots To The Biggest Regular Season Comeback Ever: Sunday Night Football, In Three Gifs
San Francisco 41, New England 34: The 49ers and Patriots got together to play a football game tonight and, since the first one they tried sucked, they obligingly scrapped it and started a new one with 10 minutes left in the third quarter. Up to that point, the two teams had combined for three inter...
