The Steelers Lost Because They Gave Sebastian Janikowski A Chance To Win It, In Four GIFs
It was a back-and-forth game in Oakland that ended with a Janikowski field goal, included a vicious hit on Darius Heyward-Bey that has him in the hospital as we speak, and saw an absurd Ben Rothlisberger performance wasted, which is the only way a Ben Rothlisberger anything knows....
The Cardinals Crushed The Eagles Because The Cardinals Might Actually Be Good, In Two GIFs
The Cardinals we're already up, so it's not like this is why they won, necessarily. They probably would have won anyway. But boy, this must have felt like shit for the Eagles: Down 17-0, they'd marched the ball all the way down to the Arizona one. On third and goal with six seconds left in the half...
"The Redskins Lost Because Their Comeback Ran Out Of Time, In One GIF
The Bengals beat the Redskins with a lot of interesting play calling and strong play from Andy Dalton and A.J. Green. But for a lot of the game, it seemed like the Redskins were just playing badly. At half time, it was 24-10 Washington, and people we're saying stuff like this:...
Basically Everything Happened In The Titans' OT Win Against The Lions, In Four GIFs
1020 yards of total offense, 85 points, an overtime, and Chris Johnson still only had 24 rushing yards on 14 carries....
Rob Gronkowski Now Has A Cereal With An Imaginative Name
Our favorite human beer keg now has his own cereal, and look at what it's called. Grönk Flakes might seem like ordinary frosted corn flakes, but they come in a box with Gronk's likeness on it, so ... there. Sales pitch, you ask? (I know you didn't, but play along.) Don't worry, Gronk's got you cover...

Earlier this week, SI.com published its Twitter 100, a list of Twitter feeds that Sports Illustrated staffers considered "essential to their daily routine for finding news, information and entertainment from the sports world."...

Prompted by a discussion between Gawker's own Mobutu Sese Seko and Sports Illustrated college football writer Holly Anderson, I created this mp3 last week. We think it's worth using to highlight plays, so here's the best runs from this past weekend in college football. They're Motorin'! ...

Chargers 38, Titans 10: The Game In A Solitary GIF
Yeah. Not a whole lot went right for the Titans. Uh, no fumbles! That's pretty cool, right? Whatever. Chris Johnson had eight carries for 17 yards and everything is pretty sad on the Tennessee side so let's just not talk about the actual game. Here's something else to talk about: The replacement re...
Seahawks 27, Cowboys 7: The Game In Four GIFs
Yowza, the Cowboys got owned in Seattle. Russell Wilson outplayed Tony Romo, Marshawn Lynch rushed for 122 yards...oh, let's just let GIFs tell the story....
Bengals 34, Browns 27: The Game In Two GIFs
Some primo running in this one—and actually some primo passing too, and generally good football playing all around. It's like Sean always says (this morning), "it's these god-awful looking games that become the most compelling." This one wasn't the most compelling, but if you like long runs to the e...
Eagles 24, Ravens 23: The Game In Three Gifs
A dogfight between cities on I-95 that just plain hate each other. It showed:...
Giants 41, Bucs 34: The Game In Two GIFs
This wound up being a wild one—32 points scored in the fourth quarter alone, 25 of those by the Giants, who trailed 24-13 at the half. This was a fantasy football wet dream, too. Eli threw for over 500 yards and three touchdowns (three interceptions, though); 199 of those yards went to Nicks....
Bills 35, Chiefs 17: The Game In One GIF
Did you guys see this from Tuesday? Via Reddit:...
Robert Griffin III Went Wild In New Orleans: Your Sunday NFL Roundup
What. A. Day. We had a lot of highs and lows for the first weekend of the year but I can't believe it's basically over now. Robert Griffin III had himself a day. Ryan Tannehill had himself a day to forget. We'll fill you in on it all with the first Sunday roundup of the year. Thanks to commenter wh...
"Art Modell Is Probably Talking To The Devil About Relocating Hell," Says Internet
Former Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens owner Art Modell died this morning. He was 87. The reaction to his death on the internet, particularly from those with some connection to Northeast Ohio, was somewhat less than charitable. We've compiled a list of some of that reaction for you below. It's...
Joe Paterno's FBI File Includes Several Threatening Letters He Received, No References To Jerry Sandusky
Joe Paterno's FBI file runs some 872 pages, and much of it concerns a series of threatening letters he and his coaching staff at Penn State received in the late 1970s and early '80s. Jerry Sandusky is not mentioned at all, though that should come as no surprise because Sandusky's sex crimes against ...
David DeJesus Drew A Walk And Got Hit By A Pitch During The Same Plate Appearance
Last night, someone in the Cubs' bullpen plunked the Cubs' own batter, David DeJesus, who had just drawn a walk to lead off the eighth. That same bullpen then gave up nine runs in the ninth. May the Cubs never cease being the Cubs....
