Adrian Peterson

Can we talk about how wierd this story is? So the media seems to love the version where AP swallows his chew but he claims that he is allergic to shellfish but eats shrimp anyways. Hmmm.....either way this is fucking hilarious. I dont chew but isnt not swallowing that shit day one stuff. Furthermore, if he didnt miss the game then who the fuck cares! You've got these PC kninghts coming out of left field (im looking at you mike freeman of bleacherreport) acting like A. this doesnt happen and B. The NFL should ban it because it causes cancer. Look im all for safety and all that bullshit but when you tell grown men what they can and cannot do and the substance in question is legal thats where you lost me. Dude is 30 if he wants to get cancer let him. The other side of this story is just as funny. Bud your allergic to shrimp maybe dont eat it. I dont know about you guys but shrimp to me is good but masively overatted. Sure as hell isnt good enough to risk blowing up like a ballon and b...

Greg Hardy

This one is tricky, I mean we all know the guy is a scumbag. But ask yourself this: if tom brady did the same thing would we care? I gonna go with a big nope here. Another layer of this could be the fact that the cowboys arent winning, which we all know makes every mistake seem bigger then it is. I digress. I have no problem with this kind of intensity at all, it shows passion. The cowboys need to be angry and need to challenge each other in order to get out of this skid. Say what you want but Greg Hardy and Dez Bryant are two passionate mutherfuckers who hate losing. Unfortunately this is 2015 and if it looks like someone is getting their feelings hurt then we need to overanalyze it and come to the conclusion that it is not acceptable. Get the fuck out of here with that. I want my football players to be fired up. If your team doesnt have these kind of exchanges (which they all do) then chances are theyre shit. Sports is intensity people, this shit should be welcomed

Miami Dolphins

Holy shit what a game. Its hard to believe that this is the same team we saw in london a few weeks back. It just goes to show you how terrible Joe Philibin was at motivating his players. Im not going to downplay the job that dan campbell has done. The guy obviously knows this team well and knew exactly what needed to be done to get the players to play up to their potential. I mean the difference is staggering. They made no significant personelle changes, yet the teams performance is night and day. This is a great combination of culture change and physicality for this team. Dan Campbell scrapped the plan and esentially started from scratch. A commitment to physicality on both offence and defence is the main catalyst here. A commitment to simplifying the game (running the fuckin ball for a change) and putting players in position to win (unleashing that feared dline) has the dolphins back on track ahead of an important game against the patriots.

Chris Ivory

What a start to the year by the D2 product. He might not be the best running back in the league like Brandon Marshall seems to think but over a hundred yard a game is no small deal. Add in the fact that he plays behind an average offensive line and you have a real revelation for the 4-1 Jets. The kid could always run. Anyone who remembers those old saints teams, where they use like eight running backs a little bit of the time knows that this kid flashed. The jets gave him an opportunity last year and he didnt disappoint. But this year he is taking his game to the next level, adding some burst to his signature power. The Jets and Ivory look they are going to be the surprise team of the year (at least so far).

Doug Martin

Its good to see flashes of the doug martin we knew this year. Kid had an explosive rookie year and looked like he was going to be a top running back for a long time. Flash forward three years, some ineffectiveness (to be fair team wasnt exactly great) and a couple injuries and hes back. Anyways Im happy for doug yata yata yata....but has anyone ever been so greatful about a nickname? Like holy fuck dude most nfl players dont even get nicknames. You got one of the coolest (muscle hamster) and you have the audacity to complain. Like he legitmately is angry when you call him that, quit bitching and own it, you earned that shit. Anyways the reason I'm talking about this is because he gave himself a new nickname today. In possibly the gayest move ever (yup im going to use gay like it means stupid because thats the shit I grew up with) he deemed himself dougernaut, worst nickname ever. Anyways your lucky your good again doug because you were coming off as not only ungreatful but washed. ...

The Colts fake punt

ahahahah, holy fuck was that shit terrible. Like..I cant even....wow! Anyways lets break it down. you've got a longest yard shift going with all of the blockers moving across the formation. Fair enough, i thought they were gonna try that screen pass that only works in movies. The timing seemed wrong but fuck it the colts needed some magic. One problem, just a completely illegal formation, the fact that a coach at the NFL level didnt check the legality of a play that no one ever tries is baffling. Anyways back to the play. We've got Griff Whalen (a reciever) at center and then you have a safety at quarterback....just, no words. ON top of all of this you dont even run the play correctly, like whats the plan here Pagano? Oh a quarterback sneak with one blocker (without a center or a quarterback) should have known. The worst display of football since the buttfumble....fire Pagano (just wait until after the season to do so)

Phillip Rivers is breaking records and no one cares

Okay so the Chargers are a disappointing 2-4 but godamn does phillip rivers look good. Ive always been a casual admirer of the chargers and rivers but even I had no idea this guy is on pace to break both Peyton manning's yardage record and Drew Brees completion record. This isnt just a scenario where the chargers are out of the game and they are throwing every play, the majority of these numbers are in games that go down to the wire (steelers and packers). Rivers could easily be 4-2 if not for a couple of heartbreaking plays. Just imagine how much the media would be on his dick if they actually had a winning record. Instead, we have a potential record breaking season that no one gives two fucks about. All Im going to say is dont sleep on the chargers youll regret it

Cardinals got their ass kicked

I never thought I would be in position as a cards fan to complain about something as trivial as one loss. Espically with a 1 and a half game lead in the division but here we are. We got beat by Mike Vick and Landry Jones. Thats right, the same landry jones that could barely complete a pass in the preseason. I hope the guy just turns out to be a hidden gem because that is not a good look for our outstanding secondary. Credit where credit is due: the steelers A. stopped the run and B. Martavis Bryant is really fucking good. Like that guy almost single handely won them the game. Im just hoping it was Bryant and not Jones who beat us.....Palmer had a rare off game (espically early) the numbers dont speak to just how much he struggled with some very easy throws. Top it off with shades of old Palmer (forcing the ball to john brown in the endzone) and this was a come back to earth moment for Palmer and his crusade towards an MVP. This game was a good wake up call for a team that responds well...

Tennessee Titans

One of the most ridculous stories of the year that just seems to feed the unstoppable force that is the pussification of our culture is the Titans. Complaining about a football game being to physical is the most pathetic thing I have ever heard. Seriously guys, I know you got handled by a struggling dolphins team and mariota got hurt but complaining is just pathetic. the thing that scares me the most is fucking Goddell will probably penalize the phins for this. It just plays into the terrible social commentary that football shouldn't be played hard and anytime someone is injured a new rule is made. We need to stop the this pathetic trend and it starts with you Tennessee. Lose with some fucking class!

Miami hit on Marcus Mariota

Im gonna call this one a draw. I honestly could not tell by looking at the tape whether or not that was dirty. One time I watch it and it looks like Vernon lowers his head and keeps running through his knee. The next it looks like momentum is carrying him into the qb. Its a tough one folks, so im going with a draw

Odell Beckham Jr.

First things first this guy is a hell of a player and one of the better athletes in the nfl but holy shit is he a punk bitch. When I say punk I mean him just casually punching anybody who plays physical with him (buffalo) and by bitch I mean complaining about your teamates making fun of you or saying that a team is "targeting you" like your godamn Bin Laden. No shit their targeting you, your kind of the number one reciever....in the words of John Mulaney "your going to have to get used to that". This kid is such a fucking loser. Like get a grip dude, youre a football player youre going to get hit and if your fucking really good (which he is) teams are going to try to stop you. Unfortunately for Beckham hes really shown his hand here. Just send out a player to get on his nerves. Not saying this stops him (far from it) but if you can hit him hard and play physical with him theres a chance that the OBJ of week 1 shows up (one big hit to never be heard from again).

Colin Kaepernick

Where do I even start with this guy....lets just put aside his meotoric fall from grace, his stupid fuckin headphones and his douchey demeanour and talk about the latest in a series of gaffes. This dude, a quarterback no less, says he is not big on mechanics. Holy fuck guys, the only explanation here is he has no idea what mechanics are right? That is the equivalent to a three point shooter saying he isnt big on jump shooting. Mechanics are not how someone throws the ball Mr. Kaepernick they are important things like setting your feet before you throw (wink, wink, nudge, nudge). I know what your thinking "cards homer trashing a rival" and to a certain extent youre right but come on. If that is not one of the most idiotic statements a quarterback has made then I might be going crazy. Anyways you better become a mechanics guy soon Colin or else you could be out of a job

Todd Gurley

The guy is the next adrian peterson plain and simple. I have watched three rams games this season, two of which I saw the immense talent of this cant miss prospect. First some context, the rams have no offensive line, foles is inconsistent and their only consistent threat has been tavon Austin. SO basically teams have been putting eight in the box and this kid has been flourishing. He consistently makes something out of nothing, often breaking numerous tackles behind the line on his way to a four yard gain. Hes the complete package: big, strong, can handle 25 plus carries and holy fuck is this dude fast. Case in point is this ridiculous run against the packers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xj-aKBHK8m4. This love child of adrian peterson and marshawn lynch is going to be giving me nightmares for the next ten years. Cards fans beware......

EJ Manuel

Im not a big bills guy but I feel the need to quash a popular misconception. EJ Manuel is not that bad. Yup I know bills fan, hes a bust cant win the starting job.....yada yada. Anyways has there ever been a shorter leash for a first rounder, I dont think so. If your going to use the sixteenth overall pick on a guy, you have to give him at the very least a year and a half as the unquestioned starter to see what you have, you owe yourself that. This just speaks to a bigger issue with high draft picks, specifically quarterbacks. Remeber the days of aaron rodgers and carson palmer where it was actually common to let a qb learn a bit from the sidelines. Then the Flacco, ryan draft happened and every rookie had to be good right away or else they were gone in two years or less. In the days of simplified college offences I think teams would be doing themselves a disservice to force these guys into action. Anyways, Im not saying he shouldve have won the job (Taylor has proven his worth) but do...

Will Grier

This usually reserved for nfl pieces....however every once in a while a story comes out that I just have to address. How obnoxious is NCAA, just overeacting whenever anything goes wrong. I mean I get the fact that PED's are kind of a big deal but a year suspension seemse like a little much, no? Like just hand the guy four games and be done with it. How can a rule vary so much from one level of football to the next, not to mention there are only twelve games, so you are looking at a third of the season. But no classic NCAA just shitting on everybodys parade. Seriously are athletes allowed to anything nowadays with the NCAA all up in their shit? Biggest crook organization in sports and its not even close

Larry Fitzgerald

My favorite thing about people who dont watch cardinals games is their take on larry fitzgerald (up until this year). The best complaints are he doesnt get the ball enough or he is not the same reciever he used to be. Anyone who actually watches the games know that A. we have had a revolving door at qb and B. He has been the best reciever on the field for us since i dont know....2000 and fucking 3. Anytime palmer has been healthy hes had great numbers, so get the fuck out of here with that shit. Anyways Im just glad the man is putting up huge numbers, leaving the haters to jump back on a bandwagon they had no sense jumping off of in the first place. Right now only julio and keenan allen have been more dominant.

Arizona Cardinals

They just look like the real deal dont they? I mean I dont want to come off as a homer (they are my favourite team) but they are just trouncing teams right now. I know their schedule has been a bit soft but they arent just winning games they are destroying the other teams to a point where I feel sorry for them. I know the rams showed up and beat us but they are always a tough out. i mean lets face it the NFC West has been beating up on each other for the last three years. It doesnt matter what the records coming into the game, you can always expect a dog fight (save for san fran this year). I wont say the cards are the best team in the league but they are definitely top 5, as long as palmer is healthy.....in Arians we trust
