I think it's pretty brave / awesome of her to post these updates, especially with photos. Ray Rice videos aside, domestic assault is usually something that is hidden behind closed doors. And it extends way beyond just the initial act; recoveries can take months and people are usually left with permanent injuries. It's…

I eagerly await the league-sanctioned punishment of a 7 1/2-hour suspension, followed by a mandatory 2-page reflection paper titled "How She Provoked Me Into Doing This."

To be fair, my mental picture of NFL Headquarters is a wall of TV's ala-Clockwork Orange, each one playing "Draft Day" on a 36-hour loop.

I won't believe that the Ravens have released Rice until I see a Peter King report that they have promoted him to head coach and given him a 10-year extension.

Once, while I was visiting relatives, my younger cousin started the dryer, not knowing that the family cat was inside. To answer your questions:

No, no one heard it meowing.

Yes, it exploded in the dryer.

And, my God yes, it was like some Carravaggio-esque nightmare when we opened the door.

Jay Cutler is America's greatest hero.

1. Remember that play last year where the Bears were playing the Vikings, and Cutler ran for a first down, stiff-arming a Vikings defender in the brain in the process? Then he flipped the ball to the guy, and laughed when he got a 15-yard Unsportsmanlike penalty? God, I fucking love Jay Cutler.

2. Also, I'm terrified…

1. I'm quoting from the piece, so my specific commentary wasn't really about Johnny Football, whom I find pretty fucking entertaining.

2. You're proving my point. It's incredible rare for defensive players, nevermind rookie defensive players, to grab endorsement deals. But Michael Sam was offered numerous deals…

And still others are angered by the fact that Sam has been the victim of an apparent double standard, wherein high-profile draftees like Johnny Manziel—white, rich, and straight—are celebrated for racking up endorsements and Instagramming themselves holding fistfuls of cash while Sam, who grew up in extreme poverty…

You're totally right; the way in which he has turned down most of his sponsorship opportunities, canceled the reality documentary after negative feedback, performed well in the preseason, and given one interview since being drafted by the Rams (in which he talked about how performing well in the preseason gave him…

"Behind Newton, the Panthers have Derek Anderson and are expected to carry Joe Webb as their No. 3 QB."

Just pure failure over here.

Well now how are they supposed to finish fourth in the AFC West??

I get that the headline and focus here is how Peyton took time away from calling audibles to the onboard nav system in his new Buick to talk some shit, but oh man, Wes Welker needs to retire for the sake of his health. You can't keep doing this to your brain, dude.

Yesterday was such a simpler time.
