Let's break down some of the stupidest things that took place on the first Sunday of the 2013 NFL season… The stupidest opening play While New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning deserves some stupid […]

One of the huge surprises from Sunday’s action was the Steelers’ opening day loss at the hands of the Tennessee Titans. It was a very Steeler-esque game, but at the end of the day, it was the Titans that had the upper hand. The Steelers’ defense actually did its part in the 16 to 9 […]

Opening Sunday is always full of mishaps and gaffes, and this season’s edition was no different. Let’s get right to it.
