Bills Stevie Johnson Finds Multiple Ways To Lose the Game

Stevie Johnson’s rock hands are back.

I have not seen an individual player do so much to lose a football game in years than I saw from Stevie Johnson Sunday at the Jets.  The dude dropped and missed key balls that would have won the game a few times over.

But the biggest bonehead thing is his stupid TD celebration dance where he mocked Plaxico Burress shooting himself (pictured right) as well as Santonio Holmes. It received a yellow flag and set the Jets up on a short field which led to a rather quick score by none other than Plaxico.

Love how the universe works!

Stevie himself recognized his stupidity and was quoted as saying the Plaxico TD celebration was “…very stupid by me … I feel like it cost us the game.”

You’re right, Stevie. It did. So did the two key drops in the final minute that could have won the game. Now the Bills have lost 4 in a row on their way out of the playoff hunt.

San Diego Chargers Kicker Nick Novak Peeing on the Sidelines (Video)

Well, I guess you could say that Nick Novak pissed away the game in more ways than one. The San Diego Chargers kicker missed two critical field goals, one in OT, to help the Broncos win the game.

Tim Tebow charged up the Glory Train to win another comeback and help give the Chargers their 6th straight loss. It helped that Novak missed a couple of field goals but the highlight, or should I say lowlight, was a cut to Novak on the sidelines doing something rather odd. Take a look.

The ball boy there is holding up a towel to shield Novak but the camera catches him in what looks like to be midstream. Yup, Nicky boy is taking a piss on the sidelines next to the Gatorade cooler. Nasty! [via Jimmy Traina]

Eek!! The Terrified Michigan Punter

If you’re gonna make the highlights, might as well make it memorable. For a punter, making the highlights is rare. Unless you boot a 75-yard punt or shank it, you’re probably not going to see much airtime on SportsCenter.

Then there’s Michigan punter Will Hagerup who flubs the snap and loses the ball. That’s not the highlight. The expression on his face, one of instant sheer terror realizing everything in his world just imploded, is epic.

Boise State Gets Wild Hail Mary TD

Well, I see that Boise State is sticking with that horrible blue field. Ugghhh….

Boise State Broncos and Wyoming Cowboys played this weekend and the highlight of the game was the fantastic Hail Mary TD catch by Boise State. The bad news is the game was onesided and BSU won 36-14.

The Hail Mary in question actually happened at the end of the first half, not the second, as the Broncos tried to get one more in before the break.

With just a few seconds left in the half, Kellen Moore lobbed a pass 46 yards into the endzone, where it was tipped a couple times.

Thankfully, WR Matt Miller just happened to be taking a nap on the goal line. He was beat from all the Black Friday sales and was enjoying a nice nap. He woke up in time to see a ball fall into his lap.

Check out the highlights below. The Hail Mary in question happens around the 1:30 mark.

Jason Witten Picks Up First Down & Cheerleader

Jason Witten, you’re on my watch list.

Unless you can say you were just trying to cop a feel, I don’t appreciate you taking out some of the best talent on the field.

During the great Dolphins/Cowboys game on Thanksgiving afternoon Witten decided that a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader would make a good cushion to soften his blow on the sideline.

Romo ditches a pass at the last second to Witten, who makes a crazy nice catch.

Then Witten is tackled out of bounds and right in front of him is a nice, defenseless Cheerleader.  Witten reaches out and grabs her and they both go down. 

I’m going with the illusion that Witten is just trying to take advantage of the situation. I mean, I would grab a cheerleader if I could and Lord knows I’ve tried for less believable reasons.

Dirty Suh Stomp

Are Detroit Lions fans witnessing Haynesworth 2.0?

I know Redskins fans hope not. But defensive stud Ndamukong Suh is starting to bet that way with more and more cheap plays lately.  His latest involved an ejection on the Thanksgiving match vs the Packers which saw Suh repeatedly smash Dietrich-Smith’s head into the ground and then standing up and kicking his cleats into Dietrich-Smith. [GIF via SB Nation]

It’s not the first time Suh‘s gone this route and certainly not his last.

And the excuse is as lame as the act. Lions DT Ndamukong Suh apologizes for ejection but maintains he was just trying to remove himself from a bad situation. OK, whatever.

I dig Suh and his effort and it would be good to see more players show they type of intensity shown by Suh. But there also comes a line that is crossed. Suh will now get that James Harrison bullseye on his back and you can expect possible suspensions and certainly fines to come Suh’s way more often.

Play smarter, not harder Suh.

Sexy NFL Cheerleaders Week 10

Several games came down to the wire including the Giants choking at Philly.  But the most crazy stat is the Dolphins have blown out their opponents for 3 straight weeks.  Wow.  Speaking of Wow, here’s our weekly tribute to the NFL Cheerleaders. Be sure to check out our NFL Cheerleader gallery archives. Enjoy!

Pigskin Doctors Week 11 NFL Power Rankings

The Packers stay unbeatable while the Dolphins are the hottest team in the league right now. One of those things is not normal…

1) GREEN BAY PACKERS (10-0)

The Packers continue to roll and roll big. Aaron Rodgers got his record-breaking fourth straight game with a passer rating better than 140. It’s a dumb stat but that’s what we have to measure QB’s and it’s still very impressive because the Packers are one of the strongest teams I’ve seen in quite awhile. Lions and Pack on Thanksgiving day is what I’m thankful for!

2) SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (9-1)

The Niners are solid. On defense they have not allowed a rushing TD this season. Let that sink in for a bit. Also, the brothers Harbaugh will face off this weekend for an epic match.

3) NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (7-3)

An up week for the Pats who unloaded on KC on Monday. It helps with Gronkowski on track to set a single-season record for TD’s for tight ends.

4) BALTIMORE RAVENS (7-3)

Baltimore took on the Bengals and won solid over division rival Cincy. This team is a bit inconsistent and will have to lock down their running game to hold off the Steelers and keep this division lead.

5) NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (7-3)

The NFC South belongs to New Orleans right now as they hold a one-game lead over Atlanta. Next up the Giants on the road to test their strengths.

6) HOUSTON TEXANS (6-3)

The Texans took a bye week with one of the best rushing games in the league. Turns out they’ll need it because Schaub is out for the year and the Texans are pinning their hopes on Matt Leinart for their first playoff appearance. I don’t know about you but that makes me a little nervous.

7) PITTSBURGH STEELERS (7-3)

A soft schedule will benefit the Steelers but they’ll have to win out over Baltimore who swept them this season already to win the division. Close enough will be good for a Wild Card hopefully.

8 ) DETROIT LIONS (7-3)

The Lions got down big on the Panthers before Matt Stafford unloaded and stormed his team back to win 49-35. Huge win for a team that had lost 3 of their last 4. Next, the Pack on Thanksgiving for the game of the year. Could this be Green Bay’s first loss?

9) ATLANTA FALCONS (6-4)

The Falcons beat up the Titans and sent QB Matt Hasselbeck to the trainers room. Rookie QB Jake Locker came in and rallied his team but the Falcons were just too much to handle. Roddy White looked solid for the Falcons but this team has yet to find their high gear yet.

10) CHICAGO BEARS (7-3)

The Bears ripped up San Diego but lost Cutler for the year. What happens next is a mystery but it’s hard to imagine the Bears to keep on flying like this. Fun note is they could pick up former Bear Kyle Orton who was cut by the Broncos this week.

11) DALLAS COWBOYS (6-4)

Tony Romo held off the Redskins and the Cowboys slipped to the top of the division thanks to the blundering Giants. Two big wins now and Cards, Dolphins next to help them stay on top possibly.

12) CINCINNATI BENGALS (6-4)

The Bengals lost their 2nd division game in a row to knock them back down to Earth. The good news is the Bengals held their own and could have won the game which means the team still has some spunk left in it. Next, the Browns for a good win and then the Steelers for possible revenge.

13) OAKLAND RAIDERS (6-4)

It’s no surprise that RB Darren McFadden is out at midseason with injuries. Right on schedule, actually. But Michael Bush has been more than impressive filling in and Carson Palmer looks like he hasn’t missed much time as the Raiders are clicking.

14) NEW YORK GIANTS (6-4)

Ugly loss for the Giants as Eli fumbles late in the 4th and the Giants look stale. Bad division loss to an Eagles team with their backup QB which is unacceptable for a team that was playing at such a high level earlier this season.

15) DENVER BRONCOS (5-5)

The Tim Tebow train got their 4th win and made it official by ditching Kyle Orton for good. Bronco fans are in it for the long haul now but the Broncos are in contention for the division title, something they didn’t have with Orton.

16) NEW YORK JETS (5-5)

The Jets are stumbling with their 2nd loss. At this rate they will miss the playoffs and with their offense that’s probably for the best.

17) TENNESSEE TITANS (5-5)

The Titans lost Hasselbeck and the game. Jake Locker came in but this team was in the position to catch the Texans who lost their QB as well. Bad timing for the Titans. I don’t think they’ll be able to catch up now if Hasselbeck is out for awhile.

18 ) PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (4-6)

Vick is out but Vince Young was good enough to keep the Eagles in the game and the Giants were nice enough to help the Eagles defense to give Philly the win. It wasn’t pretty but it was good enough.

19) SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (4-6)

The Seahawks have won 2 of 3 and Marshawn Lynch almost had his 3rd straight 100-yard game. They still struggle on offense but with Washington, St. Louis and Philly on the schedule next there’s a chance this team could crack or make .500 by years end.

20) MIAMI DOLPHINS (3-7)

Three in a row. What? Seriously. What? The Dolphins are looking solid with another huge win. Even though it was the Bills the turnaround by the Dolphins has been impressive.

21) BUFFALO BILLS (5-5)

The Bills are all but out of it now as only a miracle can get them back into the playoff race after 3 straight losses. Defenses have figured out their spread offense and the big-plays are rare now.

22) TAMPA BAY BUCS (4-6)

The Bucs have stumbled. Once contenders, the Bucs now struggle to score points but LaGarrette Blount showed some life and kept his team in the game.

23) KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (4-6)

The all or nothing Chiefs were nothing again. Too many losses on offense as Matt Cassel is officially out for the year. New England has scored more than twice as many points as the Chiefs this year.

24) SAN DIEGO CHARGERS (4-6)

The Chargers lost, again, for their 5th straight time. With the Raiders and Broncos doing well, it’s hard to imagine this team getting their act together in time to right the ship.

25) ARIZONA CARDINALS (3-7)

It’s not a shame to lose to the great Niners on the road but to be so dominated is another subject. The 49ers controlled the ball for more than 44 minutes of the game and San Francisco outgained Arizona 431 to 229 yards of total offense.

26) WASHINGTON REDSKINS (3-7)

The Skins tried to break their 6-game losing streak and almost had it if it weren’t for that pesky Romo. Grossman is better than Beck but not as good as a great QB should be.

27) CLEVELAND BROWNS (4-6)

The Browns finally pulled out a win, snapping their 3-game losing streak. McCoy looked good, something that we usually don’t say.

28 ) CAROLINA PANTHERS (2-8)

Cam Newton and Panthers started out strong but couldn’t hold off a better Lions team. The losses are really starting to pile up now but this team just doesn’t have enough talent to compete.

29) JACKSONVILLE JAGS (3-7)

The Jags are back to sucking and couldn’t score much against the stagnant Browns. Someone remind me why Del Rio hasn’t been fired yet…

30) MINNESOTA VIKINGS (2-8)

Vikes lose a close one at home, nothing special with a rookie QB and depleted talent stock. But the huge loss is AP and his ankle, who might be out for a game or two.

31) ST. LOUIS RAMS (2-8)

The Rams look lost and Steven Jackson still plays his heart out.

32) INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (0-10)

Um….yeah. It’s the Colts. They’ve already won the Andrew Luck lottery.

Top 10 College Football Programs of the Playboy Era

Ahh…college football. As great as the NFL is I have to admit that NCAA Football is just so much fun to watch.  On any given Saturday you can see some exciting games and unbelievable upsets like this last weekend.

As schools rise and fall out of the Top 25 Rankings over the years, and now the BCS system, there are a handful of constants.  Some programs have been able to keep a firm grip on their success thanks to powerful recruiting and coaching.

And who better to take a look at the Top 10 College Programs of the last 50+ years than an organization who has yearly ranked and previewed them,  Playboy magazine.

And the best part is that means the return of the lovely redhead Jaime Edmondson.

Jaime has helped preview the 32 NFL teams in the past and we are grateful. Now she takes her large collection of colorful lingerie and swaps the NFL jerseys for NCAA Football uniforms.

Hef introduced Playboy’s Pigskin Preview back in 1957, a feature repeated annually that predicts the best teams and players in each coming college football season.

While Playboy may be best known for its photography of beautiful women, Hugh Hefner understood from the magazine’s inception back in 1953 that men had other significant interests in life in addition to the girl next door.

Schools rise and fall from the Top 25, some toppled by scandal or suspensions, some emerging under the right coach at the right time. However, a handful of gridiron programs have been able to sustain their success with a remarkable consistency over the 55 years Playboy has been observing the college football scene.

Check out a few samples below before you view the Top 10 College Football Programs of the Playboy Era

Monday Morning GIFs Welcome Back Cam

It’s the day after and in the dust of the weekend games the Packers emerged still undefeated. At this rate that should hold out for awhile. With that in mind let’s check out our latest edition of GIFs. Or check out the Monday Morning GIFs Archive.

Warming Up

OK. Nothing special here. Just an NFL player warming up like normal. Bengals wide receiver Jerome Simpson has his own drill to get his hands loose prior to a game.

Red Bryant Beast Mode

I love to see the big guys run with the ball. It’s the best part of the game. Here Red Bryant of the Seahawks gets his chance to shine and doesn’t disappoint with a few Beast Mode moves of his own!

MJD Channels LeBron In Cleveland

Playing in Cleveland today, Maurice Jones-Drew of the Jacksonville Jaguars gave the hometown fans a little reminder of someone they would probably prefer to forget. After punching in the first touchdown of the game, Jones-Drew added this little twist to his end zone celebration in a very familiar fashion. [via SB Nation]

(mini) Eaaaaaggllllee

It’s a mini but it counts

RIP, NFL Ref Ron Winter

This has got to be a refs nightmare. A huge pile of huge dudes with pads come your way and then land on top of you. Ouch. NFL Ref Ron Winter will be seeing this play in his dreams for years to come

Howl at the Moon, Baby

I always thought the Ryan family was a big off and Rob shows why. I never thought about it but I’ve never seen the Ryan brothers play during a full moon.

Sorry Bills Fans

It’s time to come to the realization that the first part of the season for Buffalo was a fluke.

Cam Is Back

Cam is back from his offensive hibernation. Too bad it wasn’t enough to beat the Lions.

Ravens Torrey Smith Tackled By His Hair

Smith had three catches for 90 yards in the first half for the Ravens against the Bengals. But it looks like the Bengals have discovered his weakness.

Cam’s Celebration Dance is Back

And with a Cam touchdown comes the Cam TD celebration we have missed over the last few weeks.

Nate Says Shut It Down

Nate Burleson makes a fantastic TD run and uses that opportunity to point out the Lions are the better team and tells Cam to lock it back up.
