Joe Flacco Says Mildly Interesting Thing
Current Super Bowl champion Joe Flacco has already thrown a career-high 14 interceptions this season. The Ravens are third in the AFC North with a 5-6 record. The offense is crap. Flacco isn't happy, and he justifiably doesn't think some bullshit Wildcat plays will help anything....

Chart: LeBron James Is Outdoing Himself
Kevin Durant is your NBA scoring leader through one month of basketball, averaging 28.6 points per game.

Deadspin Buys Hall Of Fame Vote, Will Turn It Over To Deadspin Readers

Eli: Still The Saddest Manning
After last night's disaster in Foxboro in which the Broncos blew a 24-point lead, you'd be right to expect Peyton Manning to be a bit down. But, as always, he's the chipper member of the family—as little bro Eli is once again letting his face tell a story of desperation and dysphoria....
