Buffalo Bills defensive end Anthony Hargrove was playing in his first game of the season last Monday night, spending the first 4 games on the bench due to a substance abuse suspension. So what does Hargrove do when he gets back in the action? Why Hargrove breaks a police officer’s glasses in an [...]
Steelers running back Najeh Davenport has some serious off-field issues to work out. A domestic incident happened on October 4 between Davenport and the mother of his 5-year-old kid. Davenport is in a custody battle, and on this particular day, he threatened to keep the child for good. Then Davenport decided it’s a nice idea [...]
Amusing to the fans? Yes. To the league office? Hardly. Jacksonville running back Maurice Jones-Drew was fined $7,500 for a unique touchdown celebration during their win over the Chiefs last week.

There was one aspect of this story that I thought pretty funny - first, Cincinnati Bengals corner Johnathan Joseph has been suspended for Sunday’s game at Kansas City for having marijuana in the car he was in.

The Carolina Panthers are going through some turmoil after their fans booed their home loss to Tampa Bay last weekend. Particularly upset was pro-bowl defensive tackle Kris Jenkins, who claimed his team had “no heart” or desire and called the performance “garbage“.
