As we near All Hallow’s Eve, there were plenty of tricks and treats for week 7 of the 2011 NFL season. Cam Newton gave us another clip for his already impressive highlight reel, cursing was en vogue, a Packer got a kick to the cajones, and Tim Tebow led a quick come from behind victory in his first NFL start. Check out the best headlines and highlights from Sunday along with a preview of tonight’s MNF game between the Ravens and Jags after the jump.

Our new contributor Ben Oberlin recaps this past week’s NFL games with highlights, headlines, factoids, and revelations in addition to providing analysis and predictions for Monday night’s contest. This week, Ben’s got some interesting insight into the Bills and Lions surprising starts, Torrey Smith’s record-setting day, Kevin Walter’s incredible catch, and what the Skins need to pull out a W against the Cowboys on MNF. Check out the first edition of our “Upon Further Review” after the jump.

The last few years it seems the trend in the NFC, at least, is for #5 and #6 seeds to look mediocre during the regular season then straight up run the gamut and win it all when it counts. The AFC has been fairly more predictable with the Pats, Colts, and Steelers playing merry go round at the top of the heap. With the Lockout ending in late July, most teams are struggling to make up for lost time. With more than 250 games on tap, we’ve narrowed down the field to the 20 we’re most looking forward to. Check’ em out after the jump.

I first read about Redskin owner Dan Snyder’s lawsuit against the Washington City Paper on Gawker this morning. Turns out Snyder-Man originally wanted the story redacted then he just wanted an apology. He recieved neither so he filed a lawsuit, in which he claims the altered picture used was “anti-semitic”. I honestly didn’t know horns, a unibrow, and a bitchin’ goatee were stereotypical of the Jewish people. So… is Satan a jew? Just curious. Anyway, you can read the original Washington City Paper story here then take a look at our “anti-semitic” photo gallery of altered Dan Snyder pics. I’m putting on my receiver gloves to make sure I can catch the ensuing lawsuit. Peep the pics after the jump!

Of course we all have favorite songs by music artists that can (sometimes fortunately)  be called “one-hit wonders.”  Sports is no different, as many players have had one great moment in a career that was otherwise undistinguished and perhaps downright awful.  The Super Bowl has had its fair share of such performances throughout its histo… Click to read more

So what’s in a name? Well, for sports teams, everything. The name is the rally cry, the identity, the face of the franchise, and the word that strikes fear in the opponent. A good name leads to a cool mascot, which leads to a source of inspiration for players and fans alike. However, there are some team names that are laughable and/or synonymous with failure and/or humiliation. These are those teams…

By now you have probably done all the homework you are going to do. You have watched countless hours of NFL Total Access, Sports Center, and more preseason games than you care to admit. You have studied the statistics and researched all the probabilities. Your fantasy draft day has come and gone. Yet you still missed out on ‘that guy’ who blew up in the first week of the season. If you want to know whom you should stash on your bench so that you can look like a fantasy genius read on and see what our crack research staff of drunken monkeys came up with.

Despite the entire country being on an ongoing “make everything politically correct” spree for the past decade, there are still several sport teams with incredibly offensive mascots and names. In the meantime, we’re left cheering for our teams while yelling out racial slurs.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are full-on into football season and you know what the means – lots of sitting on the couch. But besides hours and hours of watch the greatest game ever created, it means tons of super hot cheerleaders prancing around just to get you in the mood.
But that begs the question: Who has the hotter cheerleaders, the NFL or the NCAA? With t… Click to read more

Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor died early Tuesday, a day after he was shot at home by what police say was an intruder. He was 24. Family friend Richard Sharpstein said Taylor’s father told him the news around 5:30 a.m.

“His father called and said he was with Christ and he cried and thanked me,” said Sharpstein, Taylor’s form… Click to read more
