Liam Neeson is a man who loves danger, which would explain why he went on 'Sportscenter' despite having no knowledge of football. The best part is when he asks to start over (they're live), or maybe it's when he drops an s-bomb, or maybe it's when he admits he's only seen two football games in his life
Atlanta Falcons safety Thomas DeCoud is clearly a fan of the movie 'Super Troopers.' In the cult comedy, one of the chemically-altered cops wins a bet by managing to say the word "meow" ten times while writing up a motorist for a moving violation.
During an interview with ESPN, DeCould tops that by meowing 14 times. SportsCenter anchor Bram Weinstein either has no idea what is going on or is the best straight-man ever.
There is a consensus developing that if NFL commissioner Roger Goodell doesn't bring back the striking referees soon, folks are going to stop watching football because the replacement refs have been so stunningly horrible. However, we're pretty sure this isn't true. In fact, the awfulness of the scab refs has now become part what makes the NFL so entertaining. (Granted, Green Bay fans or anybody who bet on the Packers Monday night would probably disagree.)
Sure, high schoolers can be cruel sometimes. But every now and then, young people will rally around someone who's different and give them the support they need. Students at Linden High School in Michigan, for example, have appointed a senior with special needs as the school's football team manager.
Woah boy. Even if you could not give one fraction of an iota of a care about football, you probably still heard about the game last night (thanks, Facebook!). To deal, we just imagined old-timey Keystone Kops music playing underneath the whole thing. Thankfully other people dealt with the insanity by making funny memes. Here are some of the best.
We imagine playing a game of football with Brian Cushing would be a lot like playing a game of football with Gary Busey -- intimidating, entertaining and also where's our asthma medication?
Now here's a "video bomb" that is genuinely impressive. This fellow gets on the field post-game, AND he manages to get right behind the professional athletes being interviewed on network camera. Not only that, he lurks creepily behind them for at least two minutes.
After about 15 years of suffering humiliating defeat after humiliating defeat the Washington Redskins' once-proud fan base has something to be excited about in Robert Griffin III, as the rookie QB dismantled the New Orleans Saints, en route to a surprising 40-32 road victory in the opening week of the season.
There aren't too many times that a NFL team will attempt a 63-yard field goal, since missing the difficult kick will result in great field position for the opposing team.
But with only seconds left in the first half in their game against the Green Bay Packers Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers didn't have to worry about that when they sent kicker David Akers out to try what would tie the record for the longest kick in league history.
Vikings punter Chris Kluwe is famous, some would say notorious, for not being shy about speaking his mind. For example, when a few NFL players held up the entire league in union negotiations during last year's lockout, he called them out for it.
And when a Maryland legislator essentially told a Baltimore Raven to shut up about gay marriage, he learned Kluwe's foot has nothing on his mouth.
