Brett Alan — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:31:38 +0000

It's official. The Bills are in the market for a new quarterback. After hearing the comments from Buddy Nix about his gunslinger just a few days ago, I'm not really surprised. He's done some great things for the Bills, but evidently not enough. Today the Bills parted ways with Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Joe Russo — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 20:25:37 +0000

Just a few weeks ago, we saw a high school kicker top an NFL record by kicking a 67-yard field goal. Now comes a video of a punter who booted the ball 96 yards in a high school football game.

Joe Russo — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:02:36 +0000

NFL phenom Tim Tebow has trademarked the term "Tebowing," the move where he goes down on one knee and holds a clenched fist against his forehead while praying during games. He hasn't done much "Tebowing" this season, so it seems this trademark comes about a year too late. The QB says he wants to ensure that the term "Tebowing" isn't used inappropriately and wants control it.

Dennis Mazur — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 17:32:59 +0000

There are a lot of heroes and zeroes out there this week, so I’ll get right to it! Alex Green – ZERO! The running back for the Green Bay Packers has been anointed the starter — that’s the good news.

Buffalo Bills Allow San Francisco to Set Ridiculous NFL Record

Joe Russo — Mon, 08 Oct 2012 19:27:55 +0000

Just how bad were the Buffalo Bills yesterday? The San Francisco 49′ers set an NFL record with 300 yards passing and 300 yards rushing, a mark that no NFL team has ever achieved. If it looked like the 49′ers were going up and down the field, they were. It was the second week in a row [...]

For all the phantom pass-interference calls and overlong instant-replay reviews, certain moments are sure to stick out when, in future years, we look back on the first three weeks of the 2012 season and wonder just what the world happened.

Here are eight dubious ways for us all to remember the stand-ins responsible for imprinting the phrase "simultaneous catch" onto every football fan's brain:

BJ Ragone — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 23:27:48 +0000

For weeks, all we’ve been hearing about is how terrible the replacement officials were in the NFL. The real officials were back this week, so were the calls actually any better?
