We're approaching Week 6 of the 2012 fantasy football season, and unless your team is protected by some sort of magical force field, you're probably dealing with a few key injuries. No fantasy owner would think less of you for shedding some tears over the state of Cedric Benson's foot or Aaron Hernandez's ankle. Still, don't spend too much time in the fetal position—even the most competitive leagu

While there aren't as many marquee games as last week, we have several intriguing matchups to look forward to this weekend. Saturday features four games between ranked opponents, including one top 10 game in the SEC. Additionally, 14 of the 22 ranked teams in action this weekend are playing road or neutral-site games. So this could be another weekend to be on upset alert. Here is what to watch for

A rematch of last season's NFC title game highlights the action for Week 6 of the 2012 NFL season. Here's a preview of all of this week's games:

When Tammy Faile and her two children were chosen as the military family of the game for South Carolina's match up Saturday against the University of Georgia, they probably expected some sort of message from their husband and father Sgt. First Class Scott Faile, who is stationed in South Korea. And that's what they got at halftime, a video message on the University of South Carolina’s Williams-Bri

Yesterday we went over who the best quarterbacks in the NFL were, so it only makes sense to also take a look at some of the worst. There certainly are a lot to choose from.

Arian Foster ran for 152 yards and a touchdown, and the Houston Texans beat the New York Jets, 23-17, in East Rutherford, N.J. on Monday night.

The 2012 NFL season is flying by. We are almost through week five, so we have to ask who is the best quarterback after the first five games?

Drew Brees broke a long-standing NFL record, and several other teams won close games in the closing minutes on Sunday. Here's a recap of all of this week's games:

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 o

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 w

Bye weeks begin as the NFL enters its fourth week of the 2012 season. Here's a preview of all of this week's action:
