It's the off-season for NCAA football - you know, that minute of time between National Signing Day and Spring Training - whereby the NCAA rules committee comes together for their annual meeting of the minds to determine if any changes to the existing rules should be made. With all of the media reports concerning player safety in mind, the committee has released 10 proposed changes for the 2013-14 season:

2013 Detroit Lions Calendar Already Ridiculously Outdated and It's Only February

Tom Barrabi — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 12:25:10 +0000

If you’re a Detroit Lions fan who is still desperately trying to forget about the team’s dismal 2012 season, you should probably avoid the squad’s official calender. In classic Lions fashion, the 2013 edition is a complete mess. More than half of its featured players have either been released, severely injured, or are planning to [...]

As you may have heard, there’s a big football game this weekend. The two starting quarterbacks both come with question marks, but both also have their fans—and those numbers grow by the day.

Cameron Simcik — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 21:37:14 +0000

Only t-minus four days until the big game, so now is the perfect time to start thinking about the most important part of our Super Bowl party-- food. Nachos, sandwiches, pizza and anything greasy goes, as long as it's hardy and semi-manly. But how the heck are we supposed to choose with so many delicious options out there? Answer: go big.

Johnny Football Puts on an Amazing Display with Dude Perfect

Adam West — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 18:59:31 +0000

Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel is only a freshman at Texas A&M, and that's great news for Aggie fans because it means he'll be around College Station for a while. Earning the nickname Johnny Football before the 2012 season, Manziel seems to be on his way to NFL greatness.

Earlier this month, Manziel joined Dude Perfect to put on a little display at Kyle Field.

What Do The Houston Texans Need To Actually Make It To the Next Level?

Dave Fenix — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 16:11:13 +0000

As most Texans fans are this time of year, I find myself disappointed that the last few weeks of the season go so well for the team. Lets face it, they shut down and in a big way. But what happened? Well, for starters, they played good teams and that exposed quite a few flaws in an otherwise stellar season

'NFL Bad Lip Reading' Makes Football Entertaining

Emerald Catron — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 13:35:33 +0000

The folks at BadLipReading have taken a stab at what NFL players, coaches and referees are saying on the field. We’re guessing it’s fairly accurate. It’s mostly girls and food. And spitting in people’s drinks. And really, really weird stuff. Correct or not, it certainly makes the game a bit more interesting. Source: ‘NFL Bad [...]

Women's Football League Drops Lingerie For Legends

Joe Student — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 20:00:03 +0000

In general, the words lingerie and football have about as much in common as the words meth addict and day care. Maybe that's why the all-female Lingerie Football League just changed their brand name to the Legends Football League. You will be relieved to know that they didn't change their uniforms very much, and they're still awesome.

Watch this College Football Player Casually Complete a 65" Box Jump

Chris Illuminati — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 12:30:52 +0000

For some people, athleticism looks boring. Take Dan Sullivan for example, a 6'2, 235 pound linebacker from Monmouth University in New Jersey. He makes this 65" box jump look like he was skipping over a puddle and onto a curb as to not ruin his brand new kicks.

Kyle Dowling — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 16:40:38 +0000

No, this isn't an episode of 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' that was left on the cutting room floor. It's actually a father receiving the best gift of his life -- tickets to a championship football game. With the holiday season winding down its nice to remember the little things in life: family, sports, and the fact that fedoras only look appealing on certain people.

This Was Not The NFL's Best Thanksgiving

Dan Seitz — Sun, 25 Nov 2012 12:02:56 +0000

This Thanksgiving was kind of a disaster for pro football fans. Fans of the Jets could only watch in horror as their beloved team gave up three touchdowns in about a minute of game time.

On the other hand, at least it wasn't the Lions/Texans game, where infamous quarterback Ndamukong Suh, who last year allegedly stomped on a Green Bay Packers player, went one better and kicked the Houston Texans' Matt Schaub in a very sensitive area.

There is, of course, a GIF.

It’s America’s sport, on one of America’s favorite days. The tradition of games is fantastic. This year, perennial turkey-day participant the Dallas Cowboys take on [...]
