Peyton Manning Doesn't Light Up The Chargers; Broncos Win Anyway
The over/under was 55.5. This was supposed to be a nonstop shootout with two marquee quarterbacks. But Peyton Manning's touchdown factory didn't pile up points on the Chargers, instead holding just a one-possession lead at the end of a mostly mundane 24-17 game....

Panthers Write Own Demise With Huge, Fruitless Drives
The Carolina Panthers weren't a total dud in their first playoff appearance since 2008. Their defense sufficiently contained Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers for the most part. But stalled drives killed them. Carolina burned over 17 minutes of game time on two offensive drives, coming away with just t...
Charles Barkley: Patriots Fans Don't Appreciate Their Team
Charles Barkley was hanging around the Patriots locker room after their win last night—apparently he's friends with owner Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick?—so the assorted media got him to answer some football questions. His assessment of New England's fans and media? They're spoiled....
The National Anthem Should Be Played With Instruments More Often
Trumpeter Jesse McGuire performed an outstanding rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" before today's 49ers-Panthers game, and really, musicians should be used for the national anthem more often....
Once An Afterthought, LeGarrette Blount Beats The Colts Down
Listed at 250 pounds, LeGarrette Blount is just a pound lighter than the Patriots' starting fullback, James Develin. He's not exactly a scatback. He's more of a supersized bowling ball over which someone had draped a jersey—a "north-south" runner, in scouting parlance, who in last night's 43-22 New ...
Report: A-Rod Suspended 162 Games, Will Continue Fight In Federal Court
Alex Rodriguez has been suspended 162 games and it comes as little surprise to anyone, including A-Rod. The suspension was reduced from the original 211 games handed down by Major League Baseball, but A-Rod is still unhappy and continues to blast Bud Selig and MLB's behavior in the Biogenesis invest...

The Secret Of The Seahawks' Defense? Fouling, Maybe
The Wall Street Journal has a fascinating look at the dominant Seahawks secondary, which seems to have been able to turn just about everyone into a star. Part of that is the remarkable amount of pressure they bring, but another part—perhaps—is as brilliant as it is simple. Maul receivers, because th...

Photo Evidence That J.R. Smith Continues To Give No Fucks
At this point, untying people's shoes is more of a J.R. Smith signature move than a fall-away, 23-foot jumper. Your thoughts, Adrian Wojnarowski? ...
Everybody Now Hates J.R. Smith
Yes, the ongoing J.R. Smith miniseries is funny. The fines, the suspensions, the tweets, the missed shots, the contract, the drama. But with his latest shoelace-related fine and accompanying benching, something of a boiling point appears to have been reached—media has turned hostile and the Knicks w...
Pennsylvania Man Filed Motion Against NFL To Put Steelers In Playoffs
Daniel Spuck felt that his Pittsburgh Steelers were screwed out of a playoff spot after officials overseeing the Chiefs-Chargers game didn't call a penalty that would have handed San Diego the likely loss, thereby giving the Steelers the final AFC postseason berth. Spuck took this bold stance agains...
Padres Legend Jerry Coleman Was The Yogi Berra You Never Knew
You'd better go to other people's funerals, else they won't go to yours. Even if you don't know the source of the quip — that'd be Lawrence Peter Berra, known to the world as Yogi — it'll follow its speaker to the grave. Like Casey Stengel, another of baseball's never-ending fortune cookies, Berra h...
