“Brady’s Better.”
On this day, Tom Brady and his New England Patriots certainly were the superior team, routing Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos 43-21 o
“Law & Order: SVU” plans to put its spin on a hot button issue as it preps an episode about domestic violence in the NFL.
Producers for the crime drama love to rip their stories from the headlines, and its audience love them to be at least a little messy. November sweeps this year is going to be the perfect time to play that up! It seems that “SVU” writers have drawn some inspiration from Ray Rice’s domestic violence scandal.

Tom Brady and the Patriots routed the Bengals and quieted the doubters.
The three-time Super Bowl winner finally looked like a quarterback who has thrown for 50,000 yards in his career as New England dominated the NFL’s last unbeaten team, beating Cincinnati 43-17 Sunday night.
Just six days earlier, the Patriots lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 41-14, unleashing criticism that Brady had regressed and lacked talented teammates to help him.

The Giants will take on the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on Oct. 19.
The Texas city has been in the news of late because a man in Dallas has become the first person in the United States with a confirmed Ebola virus diagnosis.
TMZ caught up with Giants co-owner Steve Tisch, and in a video posted on the website on Thursday morning a reporter asked the executive if he’s concerned about Big Blue playing in Dallas.
“I think the Cowboys are going to get it first,” Tisch said jokingly. “S

Peyton Manning is undeniably one of the most talented football player, frequently dominating the field as the quarterback for the Denver Broncos and earning the title of five-time league MVP for the NFL.
But for Peyton, the most important aspect of his life is not fame or fortune, but his Christian faith.
In a book titled Manning penned with his father, Peyton discusses his faith and how his deep belief in prayer has encouraged him throughout his years as a top-ranking footba

Five Native Americans are asking a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit the Washington Redskins filed against them over the team’s nickname.
The Native Americans, who are members of five different tribes throughout the U.S., earlier won a trademark dispute with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The agency ruled that the Redskins should lose trademark protection for their name because it may disparage Native Americans.
In court papers Monday, lawyers for the Native Americans say that if th

Jameis Winston will sit out of the game against Clemson this week.
The Heisman Trophy winner stood atop a table and bellowed words that can’t be repeated here. Google them if you must. Winston stood before the Florida State student body, many of whom were more than happy to live tweet the events for those of us not present, and shouted a tired, vulgar internet meme.
For this, he gets a game suspension.
Winston had two jobs this fall: Play football and don’t do anything stu
By now you’ve undoubtedly heard about the horrific video of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice knocking his then-fiancée unconscious inside a casino elevator. The Ravens have terminated Rice’s contract, and the NFL has placed him on indefinite suspension.
Rice’s actions were reprehensible, and the NFL’s handling of the matter at this point has been questionable at best, and shameful at worst.
Now, what should Christians make of all this? The first thing is perhaps the hardest but certainl
Charles Barkley defended Adrian Peterson and expressed hope that Ray Rice gets another chance to play in the NFL during a Sunday interview with Jim Rome on the CBS pregame show The NFL Today.
After expressing optimism that the “tragic mistake” made by Ray Rice will help raise awareness of domestic violence, the outspoken NBA Hall of Famer was asked about the indictment of Peterson. Barkley said he understands the anger toward the Minnesota Vikings running back but said “every black parent in

High powered backing for former Secretary of State to rescue America’s most popular sport
Support is growing for a campaign to draft Condoleezza Rice as Commissioner for the troubled National Football League (NFL).
American football, the country’s most popular sport and a bastion of macho male culture, has suffered one of the worst weeks in its history with three high-profile stars facing accusations of domestic violence.

Michael Sam is no longer attached to an NFL team and none of them appear to want to pick him up because his sexual orientation causes too much distraction, claims a Buffalo Bills star.
Offensive lineman Eric Wood goes on, more specifically, to blame the media for focusing on the personal life of the NFL’s first openly gay draft pick.
‘Blame that on espn,’ Wood tweeted in response to Sam’s inability to find an

Robert Griffin III already has played against elite quarterbacks — ones with Super Bowls in their past and Hall of Fame speeches in their future.
Griffin hasn’t spent three days practicing against one, however, and that’s why he’s looking forward to the Washington Redskins’ workouts this week with Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

In a Friday discussion on First Take about Ray Rice’s controversial two-game suspension, Stephen A. Smith went off the rails, delivering a rant that implied some women are to blame for domestic violence.
Smith started off his discussion with Skip Bayless by saying men “have no business putting [their] hands on a woman.” It was everything First Take isn’t: concise, definitive and unequivocal.
But Smith didn’t stop there. He continued, going on a rambling, circuitous rant that seemed to suggest
Former Colts coach Tony Dungy said he wouldn’t have drafted former Missouri defensive end Michael Sam.
“I wouldn’t have taken him. Not because I don’t believe Michael Sam should have a chance to play, but I wouldn’t want to deal with all of it,” Dungy told the Tampa Tribune.
“It’s not going to be totally smooth … things will happen.”
Sam, the first openly gay player drafted into the NFL, was taken in the seventh round by the St. Louis Rams and has an uphill battle to make the team’s opening

President Barack Obama’s opening lines dared to target a player whom offenses often stay away from.
But this was his house — the White House, to be exact — and Obama was ready to have a little fun at Richard Sherman’s expense.
“I considered letting Sherman up here to the podium and giving him the mic,” Obama said Wednesday as

While gay advocates are celebrating ESPN’s coverage of openly gay football player Michael Sam’s kiss with his boyfriend, those who have protested it are being persecuted.
After finding out that he was chosen by the St. Louis Rams as the 249th overall choice in the 2014 NFL draft, Sam planted a kiss on his boyfriend, which ESPN
