Reports: NFL Talking Settlement On Tom Brady
Last week, the NFLPA approached the NFL to discuss a possible settlement that would reduce Tom Brady’s Ballghazi suspension —and keep the union from taking the league to court. At the time, the NFL didn’t want to hear it. That’s apparently changed....

Jim Tomsula's Life Has Been Extraordinarily Depressing
You know Jim Tomsula. You just do.

Alcides Escobar Really Threw The Dick Off The Ball Yesterday
During yesterday’s rain delay at the scheduled Angels-Red Sox game, ESPN threw to a live version of SportsCenter, which is always fun for the chaos a live, highly produced news show always produces.

Sixth seed Tomas Berdych went down in straight sets to Gilles Simon at Wimbledon today. That was news to—oh god—the very first reporter to ask Berdych a question at his press conference....

Phil Kessel And Leafs Fans Deserve Better Than The Toronto Media
The only value in the Steve Simmons column that everyone’s talking about this morning is the news that Phil Kessel eats a street hot dog every damn day.

Phil Kessel Traded To Pittsburgh

Totally Agenda-less Sources: Tom Brady Is A Really Great Guy
In a 10-hour hearing at NFL headquarters yesterday, Tom Brady defended himself against accusations he was involved in Ballghazi and appealed his four-game suspension. If we are to believe ESPN’s sources, who certainly have no motivation other than disseminating god’s truth, Brady was so good, his su...

Roger Goodell Has More To Lose Than Tom Brady
In just a few minutes, at the NFL office at 345 Park Avenue, Tom Brady will begin his appeal of his four-game suspension for his role in the Patriots’ ball-deflation scandal.

Monster Truck Pulls Off Double Backflip
Monster truck driver Tom Meents pulled off a double backflip tonight at Gillette Stadium, something which is apparently a pretty big deal (Meents failed on his previous three attempts) and looks pretty cool, regardless. Like most Monster Jam events, it’s another example of destroying an automobile i...

Tom Brady Dances Like A 5-Year-Old When Migos Plays
The Patriots held their Super Bowl ring ceremony Sunday, which isn’t really the interesting part. After the presentation ended, Tom Brady and company danced the night away. Wiz Khalifa was also there, for some reason....

The Chargers Will Retire LaDainian Tomlinson's Number
At halftime of San Diego’s Week 14 Sunday night game, LaDainian Tomlinson will be inducted into the team’s hall of fame and become just the fourth Charger to have his jersey retired.
