Breaking news: Adam Schefter's Twitter account broke another story. The NFL reporter extraordinaire's account was hacked Saturday night, Dec. 13, in what looks to be a journalism no-no: a blatant attack of privacy reported without a source's consent. OK, so the hack didn't come from an anonymous tech geek with a vendetta looking to get Schefter in hot water. But it did break a story. This one, though, has nothing to do with the NFL. "This is Adam's wife, Sharri...." the tweet began. "...hijacking his Twitter and proving that he does sleep." Sharri Schefter then posted a photo of her husband and their daughter passed out, snoozing hand in hand. The tweet was an instant hit among the ESPN reporter's 3.1 million followers, grabbing more than 2,000 retweets and 6,000 favorites in the first 20 minutes. Like most stories Schefter reports, this one seems to have legs. Read More »
The saga continues. New video surfaced late Friday, Dec. 19, of former NFL star Ray Rice and wife Janay Palmer kissing in an elevator shortly after Rice punched Palmer in an incident that earned him a league-wide suspension and national disgrace. The video, obtained by ABC News, shows the aftermath of the now-infamous incident in an Atlantic City, New Jersey, casino. Palmer is seen crying and handcuffed while being talked to by security officials after the incident occurred Feb. 15, according to Fox News. Rice was handcuffed and his information was taken. Then the video shows him being escorted, along with Palmer, into an elevator, by security. The two then spend the ride nudging and kissing, while Rice's hood is pulled over his head. ABC released about 2 1/2 minutes of the video, which is closer to 45 minutes long in its entirety, Fox News reported. Fox News also reported that Rice entered a facility for treatment after the incident in order to drop the charges and that the charges against Palmer were dropped. Read More »
At 6-foot-5-inches, Thad Moss, the song of Randy Moss, has the size to be a dominant offensive and blocking force. He also has his father’s speed, which gives him the ability to outrun defenders and beat them to the end zone. In the end, the son, who is a top recruit in the 2016 class at the tight end position, may turn out to be even better. Read More »

The NFL has been without a Los Angeles team since 1994, when the Raiders and Rams moved to Oakland and St. Louis. And it seems like rumors of a team returning to the City of Angels have existed ever since those squads left. For now, the city is still left waiting and wishing. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told "The New York Times" that a move to Los Angeles is still unlikely to happen all the way in the future of 2015. Meaning fans in SoCal will have to wait at least another year. "I'm not at the point where I would tell you that anything is imminent or that we have a solution identified at this point in time," Goodell told the Times. "There is progress, but we've all heard that before." The most likely teams to move to L.A. one day are the San Diego Chargers, Raiders or Rams, according to "Sports Illustrated." That's because all three can wiggle out of stadium leases next year, giving them flexibility to uproot. Real estate mogul Stan Kroenke, who owns the Rams, owns property in Los Angeles large enough for a stadium to be built. The Rams are also peeved about not being able to agree with their lender for plans to renovate the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, according to "Sports Illustrated." Read More »
Browns coach Mike Pettine was intentionally glib Monday when asked at a press conference about whether Manziel, the 22nd overall pick in last year's NFL Draft, would replace struggling starter Brian Hoyer. But Tuesday, the Browns made the move, choosing 2012 Heisman Trophy winner Manziel to start under center from this point forward. Read More »
The Oakland Raiders hadn't beaten the San Francisco 49ers since 2000 before their 24-13 victory on Sunday, so its safe to say there has been a lot of built up tension brewing between the two rivals. The tension almost came to a head in an alteration between Sio Moor and Colin Kaepernick. Read More »
