“[Cortland Finnegan] kept doing little things and I told him, ‘Just because you’re frustrated, you need to stop what you’re doing.’ I guess he thought it was funny.”

Comment of the day

In case you missed it, Bills receiver Steve Johnson dropped the game-winning touchdown in overtime against the Steelers. Then he called out God on Twitter. No, really.

“This explains why all those people in Haiti are dying of cholera after surviving an earthquake in a country that was already a living hell – God was busy screwing up Steve Johnson’s football career.”
