Dan Fouts Made A Dumb CTE Joke About Boomer Esiason

Cam Newton Had A Receiver Wide Open Before Von Miller Strip-Sacked Him
Von Miller’s strip-sack of Cam Newton with just over four minutes left to play will surely go down as the most memorable play of Super Bowl 50.

Ron Rivera Has Cam Newton's Back On That Loose Ball
Von Miller’s second strip-sack of Cam Newton, which led to a touchdown that put the game away, will probably end up being the only long-memorable play from this Super Bowl. Not just because it was a crucial swing, but because it’ll forever be open to interpretation. What was Cam thinking?...

Aqib Talib Admits He Tried To Rip Corey Brown's Head Off On Purpose
It was a sloppy Super Bowl, sure, but it wasn’t a dirty one save for one play early in the second quarter, when Denver CB Aqib Talib grabbed hold of Carolina WR Corey Brown’s facemask and wrenched it as he rode Brown out of bounds, twisting like there was candy inside that could only be freed by pop...

After 38 Seasons, Wade Phillips Is A Guy With A Super Bowl Ring

St. Louis Lawyer Buys Super Bowl Ad To Tell Stan Kroenke To Get Fucked
I put out a call during last night’s Super Bowl local ad break for the best and worst of your local markets, and got replies ranging from axe-murderer Joe Jacoby to HVAC-shilling Mike Tyson to an ad in Omaha for a male enhancement doctor who will make your dong so powerful it will leave your partner...

Peyton Manning Can Eat Shit
In some parallel universe, the end of Super Bowl 50 is a heartwarming affair, with an aging legend riding the coattails of a young, brilliant defense to one last title … one glorious final run that ends with a gimpy old man sitting atop the shoulders of his teammates and being carried off into the s...

Cam Fucking Blew It

Cam Newton Was Not In The Mood To Talk
It’s fitting, maybe expected, maybe even inevitable that a player as defined by his personality and his image as Cam Newton will end up be questioned just as much for his words as for his actions. It’s not unfair either. For as understandable as Cam Newton’s terse, depressive press conference may ha...
Cam Newton Wanted No Part Of That Game-Sealing Fumble
It was not a particularly thrilling game, occasionally a sloppy one, but that doesn’t mean the Super Bowl wasn’t good, not if you appreciate work on both sides of the ball. There is something uniquely enjoyable about watching an all-time defense successfully crack an elite offense, or a pass rush so...
