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...

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....

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....
UCLA Beats Oregon In Football, According To Every Newspaper And TV Station In The Country
College football season doesn't begin until this weekend, and UCLA and Oregon aren't even scheduled to play one another this season. But if you were to check out the website of just about every newspaper in the country right now, you'd come across a headline that tells you "Bruins stun Oregon," comp...
NBC Cut A Memorial Tribute To A Dead U.S. Marine From Its Opening Ceremony Telecast. Here's His Story.
Three weeks ago we brought you the story of U.S. Air Force Academy cadet Andrew Chin. Chin's friends and family submitted his photo to be included in a memorial segment of the London Olympics opening ceremony, only for them to realize when the program aired on NBC in tape delay that the memorial se...
Meet Joe Paterno. He Lives In Paterno, Italy.
PATERNÒ, Italy—Heading west from the Sicilian port city of Catania, I see two things—the volcano that has destroyed Catania seven times since the age of the Greeks and, a little farther down the road, an exit sign for a city whose name would remind any American of calamity: Paternò. ...

The Time Has Come For America's Flight Attendants To Shut Up
I think we can all agree that the emcee-ization of America's flight attendants has grown steadily worse over the past decade. And today, reader Kurt has sent us (and Gawker) arguably the nadir of flight attendant pep talks. I must warn you in advance that these will be among the two most painfully a...
