Blocking Sled Takes Down DeSean Jackson

If you’re gonna talk a big game about how the most powerful cornerbacks in the league can’t even stop you, you should first make sure you’re also immune to inanimate objects.

Dez Bryant Gets Into Altercation Because Why the Hell Not?

In the world of football, especially in the magical land of the Dallas Cowboys, tempers can flare and crap seems to escalate rather quickly.

Alfred Blue Balls: Arian Foster to Possibly Have Groin Surgery

Ouch – for both Houston Texans key running back Arian Foster, and to those who were looking forward to drafting Foster in their fantasy football league (and by “those” people, I mean poor Blackberry-texting time travelers from the year 2012).

We Don’t Make Fun of You Enough, Raiders?

Remember the good old days when folks would make fun of the Oakland Raiders by saying they didn’t know if they were watching Oakland training camp footage or a deleted scene from a “Cops” DVD special?

Dez Bryant Loses Cool Over Madden 16 Speed Score

Look up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! Well, it sure as hell isn’t Dez Bryant according to his speed rating on NFL Madden 16. Twitter happens to be an excellent source of identifying which athletes are in desperate need of some Midol, so it’s only natural that Bryant took to the […]

Marcus Mariota Signs With That One Team Everyone Forgets Exists

After doing their best impression of the invisible man this past decade, the Tennessee Titans took off their glasses and pulled down their ponytail to reveal that they are no longer the plain, four-eyed nerdy girl everyone overlooks – they’re now just the plain girl with freaking contact lenses and a complexion issue.

Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings Agree to Restructured Contract

The 2015 fantasy football year is looking to be remarkably similar to that of 2012, when Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson was flying off the board as the number one pick (you remember that year – when all quarterback Christian Ponder had to do was wake up long enough to yawn and pass the […]

The NFL Probably Won’t Budge on Stance Regarding Tom Brady’s Balls
