Gravity finally gets its sweet revenge on Newton. 

One of the funnier things about this situation is that the 49ers guy in charge of getting this stadium built, Paraag Marathe, is on the board of directors of the latest attempt to bring decent governance to the sport of cricket in the USA, USA Cricket. It’s uh, not going well. Marathe was announced last August. Since…

Williams led with an “Odell who?”

Is Tua even that much of a sure thing that he’s worth tanking for?  I’d get it for the Clemson kid in a year I guess, but Tua seems to be, like all recent Alabama QB’s, the beneficiary of amazing players around him.

I can’t wait for Tua’s press conference — the one where he announces he’s not entering the draft and returning to Alabama for his senior season.

I know this is a joke, but it’s probably because the guy who went to Alabama is actually good at footballing.

Don’t feel bad for me!! This what I signed up! It wear and tears on your body over time! I’ve been doing this 15 years!! Trust the process

Deadspin: Let’s Remember Some Guys

Not to mention how often said rules expert is immediately contradicted by the refs on the field.

Up until about 2008 (I think, might have been 2009) you could literally walk up to the trainer before a game and get a shot of Toradol (aka Vitamin T) just by asking for it.

To this day my favorite bit of lore about Super Bowl XXV is that it’s the Super Bowl that got Paul Zimmerman (Sports Illustrated’s “Dr. Z”, for those whose memories go way back) kicked out of the voting pool for Super Bowl MVP. He got kicked out because he wouldn’t let up on how awesome Thurman Thomas was in that…

I saw Doug Marrone wearing a white-washed logo visor in his postgame and I thought they were just embarrassed to be associated with the Jaguars and were trying to minimize the connection.

If steroids are what it took to kill that mustache dead, then it was all worth it.

“Potato” is a shape.

AB is great and all but do we really believe he can deal with Belichick telling him he is trash? he does it to everyone on the team. I don’t know if his fragile ego can handle it. Belichick isn’t Tomlin or Gruden. he won’t put up with AB’s shit no matter how productive he is. 

FTFY

“Hey! I wasn’t talented or difficult!”

“What will Antonio do next? Will Chucky’s head explode in a fine red mist? Will Carr sob uncontrollably to ‘leave Britney alone’? Who IS Mark Davis’ barber? All this and more, on the next episode of ‘Hard Knocks Of Our Lives’...”
