Steve Sabol, the president of NFL Films, has passed away at age 69 following a year and a half battle with brain cancer. Sabol started at NFL Films in 1964 with his late father Ed and was an innovator in the way fans watched NFL games. NFL Films was responsible for the introduction of slow […]

The neverending, disastrous saga of the replacement referees somehow took another hit, just when you think things couldn't get worse after Monday night's surreal game between the Broncos and Falcons. During an interview on Monday, LeSean McCoy of the Eagles had some choice words about the referees from the Eagles' 24-23 win over the Ravens. […]

Let's not draw conclusions two weeks in, but it should be noted that the offensive juggernauts who usually dominate NFL power rankings in this pass-happy era have sort of taken a back seat early in 2012 to teams that are arguably more multi-faceted. Coincidence or a sign of things to come? 1. Houston Texans (2-0, […]

The Washington Redskins defense, which has already allowed 63 points (second worst in the NFC) this season, will be without both Adam Carriker and Brian Orakpo for the rest of the year. Carriker reportedly has a torn quad tendon, while Orakpo has a torn left pectoral. The pair combined for 14.5 sacks last year for […]

Not all running QB's are the same regardless of how hard some try to put them all in the same box. They are both from Texas, both very successful college quarterbacks and both with a knack for running. But before they can begin let’s go ahead and put any comparisons between the two to […]

The Cowboys' performance yesterday against the Seattle Seahawks was hard for any Dallas fan to watch, and this guy couldn't hold it in. The good news is that there's plenty of time to bounce back, but this is the type of outburst that legends are made of. If videos like this continue, we may all […]

Week 2 and 3 are some of the most interesting weeks of the NFL season. It's at this point in the year that fanbases begin to realize that their team may not be what they thought they had. On the other hand, some teams are stunning everyone by getting off to a quick start. No […]

For years, we've known the NFC West as the punching bag of the NFL. They've been working to shed that image early in 2012, and the division is beginning to resemble something of a powerhouse. Earlier today, the Cardinals outlasted the Patriots, the Rams hung on to beat the Redskins just a week after losing […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=nOt31O9qyeA The Cardinals suddenly look like a real football team, and that's thanks in no small part to an under appreciated defensive unit that held the Patriots to just 18 points in a stunning victory against the New England Patriots. Oddly enough, the Cardinals held the lead most of the game, but in classic Tom […]

"Lets just be friends." Are there any four words men least want to hear from a hot prospect? Olympian hurdler and virgin princess Lori "LoLo" Jones denied reports by gossip sites that paired her with Detroit Lions DT Ndamukong Suh. "We are not currently dating," Jones said in a Playbook interview. Um, currently? Elite athletes […]

In today's odd news story of the day from Chris Mortensen at ESPN, the NFL has pulled replacement referee Brian Stropolo from today's Panthers-Saints game…because Stropolo is a Saints fan. Stropolo is apparently a New Orleans resident, and on his Facebook page, there are pictures of him tailgating in Saints apparel before their August 25th […]

Last week, the 49ers were able to hold off the Green Bay Packers, securing a win that could very possibly turn into a tie-breaker at the end of the season. With a win against the Lions at home, the 49ers could establish themselves as the team to beat in the NFC. This game is intriguing […]

Sometimes it's impossible to make crazy incidents up. This is one of those cases. Ex-NFL lineman Ian Beckles was arrested in St Petersburg, Florida and charged for disorderly intoxication after he allegedly ignored police orders to leave police horses alone. According to the police report, officers ordered Beckles to walk on the sidewalk after he […]

While we watch every move that Andrew Luck makes in his rookie season, and endlessly compare every throw he makes to Peyton, many of the Colts deficiencies will go overlooked. Sure Luck is a great player, but much of his week one success was in garbage time against the Bears. Reggie Wayne is still […]
