Surely Browns fans won’t be concerned at all with Johnny Manziel channeling his inner Jake Plummer (or Jay Cutler), right?

Gatorade’s primary purpose comes after a workout, when you’ve grunted and sweated to earn the replenishing beverage. That’s gist of their new tag line (“you don’t sweat it, you don’t get it”), and Peyton Manning is at a gas station near you to make sure customers always pay in sweat. Thanks, CBS Sports

Rest assured, everyone, Steve Smith’s words are in mid-season form. The man who brought us “ice up, son” among his other greatest hits was recently asked about the approach required to be a Baltimore Raven. Smith is entering his first season playing football somewhere that isn’t Carolina. “When I think of a Baltimore Raven — […]

Throughout training camp a few clips of Sammy Watkins doing Sammy Watkins things have bounced around the Internet. First there was a one-handed catch, and then another one-handed catch. Here he removes a defensive back from his underpants. It shows how absurdly hard it can be to cover Watkins while he does something routine: run […]

If you thought getting a date is easy as a young, rich, muscle bulging NFL super-stud, you’re mostly right. But training camp is a problem, with players often doing the grunt work of August in unfamiliar territory away from home. Don’t worry, there’s an app for that. Tinder has the cure for all that ails […]

Danny Amendola is often broken and bruised, and eventually constant injuries could shorten his NFL career. No worries, though, because he could sign up for the circus immediately. Earlier this week during the Patriots-Eagles joint practice Amendola showed he’s one helluva juggler. Yes, he has four footballs. Four.

Context? Sure, why not. Speaking Wednesday of his relationship with battling centers Dan Connolly and Ryan Wendell, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady summed things up perfectly. I’ve got confidence in those guys. I love both Dan and Wendy. I love those guys. They work so hard. The center-quarterback relationship is a pretty special one. I’ve […]

Training camp scuffles are pretty common. This will shock you, but when large men playing a sport rooted in physicality are clawing for their employment futures, anger happens. A lot of it, and sometimes that ends in a little donnybrook. Usually, the skirmishes involve some shoving and helmet punching before teammates and coaches step in. […]

There’s nothing scientific about this study, but I’ll trust the word of a man who’s been to a game at every NHL, NFL, MLB, and NBA outpost in North America. Sean McDonald has done that, and he spent the 2013 NFL season attending a game at each league venue. His conclusion? Buffalo Bills fans lead […]

Last year, Peyton and Eli Manning flashed their star power and hinted at a potential post-NFL career route by rapping about football and phones. Now, in Lonely Island fashion, the duo has followed that up with a fantasy football-related tune for DirecTV. This is actually really well produced and awesomely random. The lyrics are gold, […]

The other day, a bartender friend of mine — in a rather public setting — used the phrase “like a girl” in derogatory fashion. He was belittling another friend for having to take a break during a particularly busy stretch behind the bar. And although I’m far from politically correct at times and have never […]

The connection between the NFL fraternity and the Madden video game empire is deep and fascinating. That’s because most of these guys grow up playing the game, and then all of a sudden they’re — wait for it — in the game! So EA Sports had the brilliant idea of taping rookies as they predicted, […]
