Marvin Lewis extended. Does he have pics of Mike Brown getting farged up the ass? Two seasons (out of eight) over .500 is good enough, I guess.

That's exactly 2 more seasons of >.500 football than they had in the previous 16 seasons.

Crazy Al Davis decided that Tom Cable's 6-0 record in the division was weak sauce and did not renew his contract.

Did Cable punch him in his liverspotted face?

In what reality does that make sense?

you couldnt go wrong either way but to act like its some travesty is nuts...polamalu made more gave saving plays than anyone in the nfl and matthews fell off in the second half of the year...not fell off in that he sucked or anything but he did not play at an mvp level...he blew his wad early...plus polamalus defense was number one in the nfl

i wouldnt have complained if matthews had won it but i think they made the right choice

During the Bears season opener, Fox Sports wanted to reference some headlines that questioned Jay Cutler's toughness in last year's NFC Championship game.

Since no headlines actually existed in any newspaper, Fox decided to make them up. And then say they were real. Seriously.

Here are the three headlines Fox used as a graphic, via Poynter:

1. "Cutler Leaves With Injury"

2. "Cutler Lacks Courage"

3. "Cutler's No Leader"

Fox analyst Darryl Johnston backed them up by saying "these are the actual headlines from the local papers in Chicago."

Except they weren't. The Chicago Tribune thought the headlines sounded fishy because Cutler was defended locally. They did an investigation, and there no such headlines in Chicago. Or anywhere else in the country.

"It was misleading," admitted FOX Sports spokesman Dan Bell.

It's more than misleading. They intentionally made up headlines and then went out of their way to say they were real.

"Our attempt was to capture the overall sentiment nationwide following that game," Bell said.

We're confused by the strategy. Why make up headlines when they could just hack into Cutler's voice mail and create a real one?

This is from The Chicago Tribune, which has never had a misleading or mistaken headline.
