Brandon Weeden Roasted Jerry Jones
Brandon Weeden began this season as a Cowboy and is going to end it among the thicket of, oh, let’s say, imperfect QBs leading the Texans into the playoffs (unless the Colts somehow beat the 3,300:1 odds stacked against them). I’m sure he didn’t imagine he’d play much this season, let alone start fo...
Iowa Knocks Off #1 Michigan State, Who Scored An Own Goal

Peter King: "I Am Obviously A Rube"
He’s probably talking about the Chip Kelly firing, but may be talking about Skyline chili. Seems accurate either way....
Eric Weddle And The Chargers Seem To Be Done With Each Other
Eric Weddle has spent all nine seasons of his pro career with the Chargers, and after he didn’t receive a contract extension before the season, it seemed likely that he’d sign with another team when he became a free agent. Now, the prospect of Weddle leaving the Chargers is a virtual certainty. And ...
Bill Belichick Had A Plan, It Just Backfired Completely
By now we know that the Patriots’ decision to kick off to start overtime wasn’t a mistake—or at least, not the one it appeared to be at the time. New England never touched the ball in their 26-20 OT loss to the Jets, and while the outcome wasn’t by design, the strategy was. Whether or not it was a w...

Today is a day to celebrate, among other things, the birthday of Rickey Henderson, a man who embodies baseball at its best so completely that it’s hard to do him any justice. Here’s to you, Rickey....
NFL Network Pregame Show Is Totally Blazed
We can only guess that Eisen & Co. have caught a whiff of a nearby stoner in Oakland as tonight’s NFL Network pregame devolved into a festival of giggles and Up In Smoke jokes. (Steve Mariucci is our favorite.)...

The Worst Man On Facebook Ruined <i>Star Wars</i>
Penn Holderness, professional, uh, person who makes his family help him ruin pop music tracks on YouTube, is bad. His videos are bad. His hair is bad. “All About That Baste” is the absolute worst thing I have ever seen in my life. Everything about him is bad. Bad bad bad. Also, he (allegedly) big-ti...

Peyton Manning Calls "Bullshit" On Report That He Doesn't Want To Be A Backup
Yesterday, NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport reported that Peyton Manning has made it known that he won’t be happy as the Broncos’ backup—that is, if Manning gets healthy and ready to play, he wants to reclaim the starting job. After Denver’s 34-27 loss to Pittsburgh, which will require them to beat the Bengal...
The Chargers Gave San Diego Football A Deserving Funeral
San Diego’s never had a reputation for being ravenous football town, but that doesn’t make the fact that the Chargers have played what is very likely their last game in San Diego any easier to swallow for the fans who do care. Those fans showed up to cheer their asses off yesterday, and they were re...
Report: The Patriots Are Also In Bed With Tom Brady's Shady Fitness Guru
Tom Brady’s relationship with Alex Guerrero is well-documented and wide-ranging: Guerrero is Brady’s body coach, business partner, and trusted friend. He’s also been sued for fraud twice, including for a beverage called Neurosafe that he claimed could prevent concussions, as well as for another drin...
