Is it really that hard to figure out why teams that will be investing $20-30 million in cap space and a top 5 draft pick want to figure out how hard he works to get better and prepare himself, considering that some of the best defensive ends in history (Bruce Smith,Reggie White,Michael Strahan) didn't have outstanding…

What's interesting about Jim Harbaugh is that he's really never stayed in the same place for an extended period in his life. He grew up in Ohio, Kentucky, and Iowa before going to high school in Michigan and California because of his dad's coaching career. John Harbaugh went on the record as saying that Jim never…

Plenty of antagonistic front-office relationships have survived as long as the team is winning

Aside from how uncomfortable the players are, it just looks stupid. I feel like I'm watching a gym class. The Warriors especially look like they just got back from study hall.

You are such a racist. Who acts like Brett Favre, Johnny Manziel, or Bryce Harper are hyper-American or like they capture anyone's imagination? Maybe when they're excelling on the field, just like for Michael Jordan, Jerry Rice, Barry Sanders, or any outstanding black athlete. But every person I heard, white or black,…

So I totally get this joke and everything but how would I explain it to someone who doesn't get it? I'm asking for a friend.

I'll admit the bar for measuring color commentators is pretty low, but there is no fuckin way Mike Mayock is the best. He never lets the game breathe by talking endlessly, he goes on and on about shit like where a guy was drafted or how he did in his combine or his pro day which serves nothing but reminding us what an…

I'd add another to the infraction category. Any time an announcer says the word "football" during a game. Maybe it's just a pet peeve, but don't tell me how football players need to make football plays to help their football team win football games. Don't tell me "in the elements, you need to be able to run the…

That's good. But the frogurt is also cursed. That's bad.

A quarterback, in just his second year of professional football, staring the possibility of a confidence-shattering, development-retarding, fan-alienating...

If I were one of the other 29 owners, I'd want to keep Dolan with the Knicks as long as possible. That's one less team I'd have to worry about beating as long as he's running the show.

I know Davis never really believed in Gruden or the West Coast offense but I still think losing to New England gave him the excuse he needed to cut him loose. As stubborn and proud as Al Davis was, I believe another deep playoff run, or championship, after going to the 2000 AFC Championship Game (which they probably…

Yeah I know, I kind of got off track there. My original point is how different the last 12 years in the NFL would've been if that game were in Oakland instead of Foxborough. For example, there's a good chance the Panthers-Patriots MNF game wouldn't have happened as it did since Tom Brady may very well have not been…

Think about how different the last 12 years in the NFL would have been if the Tuck Rule Game were played in Oakland and not Foxborough. It wouldn't have been played in a snowstorm; there wouldn't have been some obscure, bullshit rule enforced and if there were, it wouldn't have been for the Patriots (unless you're a…

I'm surprised someone who grew up in the 90's would leave out Leon Lett as an example of a taunting asshole on a championship team.

I didn't watch Breaking Bad so I thought Aaron Paul was Chris Paul's son (the one who sometimes sits on CP3's lap and fidgets during his dad's press conferences) for a second. And sadly, it wouldn't shock me if Grantland did a piece about whether or not Chris Paul's son would become a movie star.

The Bucs remind me a lot of Mike Singletary's 49ers. I'm thinking next year, when people finally fall asleep on them, they'll get a coach who's gonna put it together. I'm not a Bucs fan, but there's too much talent on this team for them to keep losing for long.

How Marvin Lewis continues to elude "Fire this Asshole" is beyond me. The guy's in his 11th year and has as many playoff wins as you and I combined. Hard Knocks illustrated that he's clearly an asshole (twice in fact, they were on in '09). But Super Bowl-winning coaches like Tom Coughlin and Mike Tomlin are on the…

Once they go toe to toe, Gio's clearly thinking to himself "Wow, I didn't realize he was this much bigger than me" and he's actually glad there are coaches there to hold him back. This happens every year in every sports league: team that was expected to be much better than they are eventually has guys turn on each…

There's a joke in there somewhere about how pockets usually get destroyed when Luke Petitgout's involved but I'm not sure what it is. Or maybe it's that pockets don't get protected when he's there. Anyway, Luke Petitgout sucked.
