I’ve noted many times that the NFL Combine is the most overrated event in sports when it comes to gauging talent, yet every year I get caught up in what a guy runs or what a guy jumps or what a guy throws (combine studs that probably went a bit high: JaMarcus Russell, Donte Stallworth, and jus...

Andy Reid is certainly built to survive in cold weather, but unfortunately his Eagles couldn’t make the same claim. Days before the Arizona Cardinals nearly applied a death blow to Steeler Nation, the Pro Football Hall of Fame, in conjunction with Coors Light (for when you feel like having a p...

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco had been chased out of the pocket and was trying to simply throw the ball away to avoid taking a sack or throwing into heavy coverage by the Jacksonville Jaguars, so he just flicked the ball out of bounds, where his own teammates were gathered. Almost casually...

So much for Arizona and San Diego being home underdogs. Both took care of business on Saturday, with Arizona jumping offsides on every snap (yes, I’m a Falcons fan), beating the Falcons 30-24, and the Chargers took care of business in San Diego, eliminating the Colts for the second consecutive...

[21h56] Miami – Baltimore 9:27 14 Baltimore-Punkte aus fünf Turnovers der Dolphins, das ist die Schlüsselzahl. Beide Mannschaften mit einer sehr mauen Begegnung. Baltimore musste nicht mehr machen, Miami konnte nicht mehr machen. Baltimore sah heute zwar nicht wirklich so aus, als würden sie we...

Consider this your open thread for the 1:00 p.m. AFC Wild Card Game. It's Charm City vs. Ol' Sweaty Town in this first-round playoff massacre.

Got an image you'd like to see in here first thing in the morning? Send it to tips@deadspin.com. Subject: Morning crap The Dolphins fan who sent this in assures us that this is for "tobacco use only", but given the miraculous turnaround the Fins have had this year, I think adding a little something ...

The NFL Pro Bowl rosters have been announced, and like every year when these things are announced, there’s already a big uproar of who’s been snubbed and who doesn’t deserve to be there. You can get both the NFC and AFC starting rosters here and figure out who you think got snubbed...

It was a good week, and there’s a lot of questions left as to who will be playoff bound in 2008. Dallas and Tampa Bay have the edge in the NFC, with Atlanta and Philly a game and a game and a half behind, respectively. In the AFC, the Jets, Pats and Dolphins all battle for the East. Indy leads...

Last Week: 9-6 On the Season: 97-89 Locks of the Week: 13-5 Oakland Raiders @ San Diego Chargers (-10): The last time these two teams played, the Chargers defense had six sacks. Coincidentally, that was the last time the Chargers looked like the Chargers. San Diego is done with their playoff run. Bu...
