Coby Fleener’s Post-Touchdown Pump Fake Fools Ref (Video)
Thanks to Saints wide receiver (okay fine, tight end) Jimmy Graham, who caused a 20-minute delay in a game last year when he broke the upright in Atlanta, the post-touchdown goal post dunk is now illegal in the NFL. And it won’t just cost a team 15 yards, either. Any player who does it will get a $10,000 […]

Michael Sam Mocks Johnny Manziel After Sacking Him (GIFs)
As you’ve probably heard by now, on Saturday night the two biggest stories of the 2014 NFL Draft had a pretty memorable encounter. College football superstar-turned-Cleveland Browns backup quarterback Johnny Manziel scrambled for a touchdown against the Rams in the third quarter and celebrated by making his signature “money” gesture. Then, in the fourth quarter, […]

9 Reasons The NFL Should Shorten The Preseason
Finally, we’re nearing the end of pre-season football, perhaps one of the most frustrating stretches of any part of any sports season. On some levels, it’s hard to blame the pre-season: the players do need a time and place to prepare for the regular season, and much of our impatience comes from the fact that […]

Vernon Davis Goes Undercover at Jamba Juice and Messes with 49ers Fans (Video)
After quarterback Colin Kaepernick, tight end Vernon Davis is probably the most recognizable member of the San Francisco 49ers—if not for his Pro Bowl ability and eight-year tenure with the team, then at least for his incredible 6’3″ 250-pound physique. However, the human brain, with all its amazing power to reason and deduce, is usually pretty easy to […]

Doctors Say Jim Kelly Is Cancer Free
Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly took the Buffalo Bills to four straight Super Bowls but was never able to add “Super Bowl Champion” to his resumé. Maybe that used to eat Kelly up. Maybe it didn’t. What I know for sure is that, right now, he couldn’t care less. And that’s because, right now, […]

Cleveland Browns Score Hail Mary Touchdown in Dying Seconds, Lose Game on Failed Two-Point Conversion (GIF)
If you watched the Cleveland-Washington preseason game on ESPN last night and you don’t live in Cleveland or Washington, it was probably only because you wanted to see Johnny Football. It wasn’t because you were expecting a really exciting football game. So you probably flipped channels as soon as the Browns put third stringer Connor […]

Jadeveon Clowney Looks Pretty Damn Good During Preseason Game vs. Falcons (Videos)
The Houston Texans had a pretty tough decision to make at the 2014 NFL Draft. On the one hand, after giving up on Matt Schaub and replacing him with a respectable but unexciting Ryan Fitzpatrick in March, they could have taken Johnny Football with their No. 1 overall pick. At the very least that pick […]

Sammy Watkins Takes a Break from Making Ridiculous One-Handed Catches to Burn a Defender with His Sick Moves (Video)
Heading into the 2014 NFL Draft, there was an unusually high number of teams in need of a “franchise quarteback,” and for that reason most of the focus was on guys like Johnn Manziel, Blake Bortless, and Teddy Bridgewater. However, most analysts pegged Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins as the most talented and explosive offensive […]

Danny Amendola Entertains Patriots Fans with Impressive Juggling and Catching Skills (Video)
You probably knew, or at least assumed, that New England Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola, a.k.a. the new Wes Welker, is good at catching footballs. After all, he does it at the professional level. However, you probably did not know he was this good at catching footballs. At the Patriots training camp the other day, […]

Bills Fans Are the Drunkest Fans, Says Guy Who Wrote Book
In 2013, author Sean MacDonald spent four months driving across America so he could visit all 32 NFL stadiums (yes, MetLIfe counts twice). And the result was a book—MacDonald’s first—called Ultimate Football Road Trip. Now that book is out, and of all the things MacDonald had to say in those 288 pages, apparently the most […]

Texans Cheerleaders Make Awesome Parody Video Inspired by Hilarious Arian Foster Interview (Video)
Last season, as the losses and humiliation piled up, eventually turning into an uncontrollable tire fire, Houston Texans running back Arian Foster stopped talking to the local media. And while you can’t blame him for not wanting to be asked “Why do you suck so bad?” fifty times a day, the rules are the rules: […]

Patrick Peterson vs. Richard Sherman Twitter Beef Continues to Entertain Us (Tweets)
Patrick Peterson of the Arizona Cardinals went and made himself the highest-paid cornerback in the league, procuring a five-year extension worth $70 million, with $48 million guaranteed. Noted Seahawks loudmouth Richard Sherman was the highest-paid prior to that, taking home $50 million with $40 million guaranteed. Patrick Peterson, the kind of guy who uses his […]

Cam Newton Gives Shoes Off His Feet to Fan in Wheel Chair at Panthers Training Camp (Pic)
Cam Newton was a huge star in Charlotte the minute he got drafted first overall by the Carolina Panthers back in 2011. However, after leading the Panthers to a 12-4 record last year and the team’s first playoff appearance since 2008, fulfilling his destiny and becoming an official NFL Franchise Quarterback™, he’s a sports hero. […]

Peyton Manning Getting Tackled by His Adorable Kids Is the Gosh Darn Peyton Manningest Thing You’ve Ever Seen (Video + Pics)
The start of NFL training camp doesn’t get the wistful, nostalgic treatment from the press and public that the start of baseball spring training gets. Sports fans are just as excited about it, but nobody writes any poems or sonnets romanticizing it. The NFL may be trying to change that, though. In recent years, they’ve been […]

Cleveland Browns Fan Takes a Piss on Art Modell’s Grave, Puts the Video on YouTube (Video)
You know how Art Modell moved the Cleveland Browns to Baltimore, where they became the Ravens and won two Super Bowls, while Cleveland got an expansion team three years later that got to keep the Browns name, records, and “intellectual property”? Well, Cleveland Browns fans are pretty hardcore, and they were kind of angry about […]
