• Divorce Rumors Surround Kerry Washington, Nnamdi Asomugha Since They're Rarely Together Despite New Daughter

    Kerry Washington's marriage to Nnamdi Asomugha, a former American football player on three NFL teams, has always been a little bit different. Even the most private of celebrity couples are usually spotted on the red carpet together occasionally, but not these two. Even during awards season last year, when Washington's hit show "Scandal" was in contention, Asomugha was never with her for support. When Washington celebrated her birthday last winter, her husband was on the opposite coast for a Super Bowl party. The birth of baby Isabelle last May has not made the couple closer either, it seems, and now many are wondering if a split could be near. In the past, Washington made the mistake of allowing her personal life to read like an open book and it burned her, so it makes sense she would now fiercely guard her family's privacy. Back in the October 2013 issue of "Glamour," Washington defended her right to silence, saying: "I'm walking around in the world with my ring. And when people say congratulations, I say thank you. But I'm going to continue to not talk about it and just let it unfold."

  • Cam Newton Car Accident: Panthers QB Rolled Over, Team Tweets Support

    Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was involved in a two-car wreck in Charlotte, North Carolina, Tuesday morning, Dec. 9, when his large Dodge truck collided with a Buick sedan, according to the Charlotte Observer. From the report: Newton, lying prone in black workout clothes, was treated on a sidewalk along the bridge for at least 20 minutes before a Medic ambulance took him away. A witness told the Observer that Newton was “in pain,” while a newer report from ESPN's Ed Werder says that the 25-year-old did not suffer any major injuries, only bruises and scrapes. Here are a couple post-incident photos, via Getty: Teammates and players from around the league shared their support for Newton on Twitter:

  • NFL Officials Fist Bump After TD, Players Question Fairness of Calls

    The Buffalo Bills were upset with the referees Sunday, Dec. 7, after their comeback fell short in a 24-17 loss to the Denver Broncos. Following the game, multiple Bills players questioned the legitimacy of the officiating. "It definitely felt like it was about 16 on 11," running back Anthony Dixon told ESPN. "But we can't make that an excuse. We did some things that we shouldn't have did. We can't be selfish like that. There were a couple selfish penalties by a couple of guys. We got to cut that out." Defensive back Nickell Robey was also pretty salty. "Very frustrating," Robey said. "We understand that it's Denver. We understand that they are the AFC champions and all that other stuff. But at the end of the day, you have to call the game how it's supposed to be called. Some things just could have gone our way but they didn't. But I guess that's what happens when you're in someone else's territory."

  • St. Louis Rams Announce Punter Signing With Hilarious Subject Line

    Punters are people, too. It's a tough concept to swallow, we know, but you should show respect for the weakest players on the football field. Why? For one, they're making bank. Case in point: The St. Louis Rams just announced the signing of Johnny Hekker for $18 million over six years including $9 million guaranteed (!!!).

  • Ray Rice Insists He, Janay Have Only Had 'One Bad Night, It Just Happened to Be on Video'

    Did you catch Ray Rice's interview with Matt Lauer yesterday on "Today"? The sit-down interview had actually been booked with Janay Rice, and it gave her an opportunity to finally speak about that horrific night in Atlantic City last February when Ray knocked her out cold in an elevator. The couple had been dealing with their issues semi-privately until the surveillance video went viral last September, and the fallout has been huge. Janay answered all sorts of questions about their relationship and insisted that her now-husband has never laid a finger on her other than this one time. Supposedly, Ray came home near the end of her interview and decided to appear on camera. Perhaps NBC thought it would feel more impromptu and less strategically planned if Lauer talked to the couple while standing in their kitchen. Once they all settled in around the island, Rice insisted that they have only had this one bad night together, and unfortunately there is video to document it. He also claims that working is not his biggest concern right now. Ray told Lauer: "The big deal is for me to always protect her, and that's why I said I take full responsibility. She can do no wrong. This is something, you know, as a man you have to own and, we're horribly sorry, and I'm horribly sorry for everything that I have to put my family through. I still got to live every day, go take my daughter to school. She's going to grow up and the way the Internet works now she's going to Google her father's name and the first thing that's going to come up is, you know what's going to come up."

  • St. Louis Rams Insist They Didn't Apologize to Police for 'Hands Up, Don't Shoot' Gesture

    It looks like finding middle ground and a truce between the St. Louis Rams and the St. Louis County police department is not going to be easy. The issue began when five St. Louis Rams players walked onto the field before Sunday, Nov. 30's game with their arms making a "hands up, don't shoot" gesture. The police department took extreme offense at the gesture, which was in reference to Darren Wilson's not being indicted in the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown. Now team officials and the police department are at odds over whether or not an apology was issued. On Monday, Dec. 1, the Rams's chief operations officer Kevin Demoff reached out to law enforcement to try and make peace. Demoff reportedly told police chief Jon Belmar that he "regretted any offense the officers may have taken and regretted that any members of the [Rams's] organization would act in a way that minimized the outstanding work that police officers and departments carry out each and every day." Even though Demoff said he never apologized, the chief believed it to be enough of an apology to send an email about the phone call to his staff.

  • Ray Rice Hit NYC Clubs to Celebrate His Lifted NFL Suspension

    Last Friday, Nov. 28, Ray Rice's suspension from the NFL was lifted on an appeal, and apparently he was in the mood to celebrate. Rice was spotted hitting up Bounce Sporting Club in New York City late Saturday night. The fallen NFL star stayed chatting and chilling with fans until the wee hours of Sunday morning. According to a TMZ report, security attempted to keep the fans from bothering Rice, but he was loving the attention. Rumor has it his wife Janay Rice was also with him, but that has yet to be confirmed. We can tell you with certainty that Janay's interview with "Today's" Matt Lauer these past two days has been seen in part by nearly everyone. This morning's installment included Ray taking part in the interview while standing at a kitchen counter with Janay and her parents. He, of course, apologized for knocking his wife out last February in Atlantic City after a night of hard partying. He believes that therapy has really helped him and claims he is ready to sacrifice whatever is necessary to take care of his wife.

  • Janay Rice's 'Today' Interview Insinuates NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell Repeatedly Lied

    After six months of silence, Janay Palmer Rice finally had a chance to sit down and address everything that has happened since Ray Rice knocked her out cold in an Atlantic City elevator earlier this year. Instead of splitting from Rice, she instead married him and has decided to support him, even once that surveillance tape went viral in September. Janay agreed to an interview with "Today's" Matt Lauer, in the hopes that people might understand how this one horrific instance of domestic violence does not define what her marriage is really like. Janay repeatedly called Rice's actions "a mistake" and reminded viewers at home that no one is perfect. She also insisted that, aside from this one incident, Rice has never been the least bit violent with her at all. She expressed serious upset at how the Baltimore Ravens organization treated them once it released Rice from his contract and believes that eventually he will be allowed to prove himself again in the NFL. Lauer also asked about what Rice told NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell when the incident first happened. Goodell has claimed that he never saw the tape until it went viral last September and that he had no idea how violent the altercation actually was. Janay balked at the notion that Rice might have minimized the attack, telling Lauer: "No. Not in any way. And, you know, I feel like if they wanted to know more details then they would have asked. But there were no further questions. It — it's been consistent with everything that he's been saying since February. I can't say he's telling the truth. You know? I know for a fact that he told — that Ray told the honest truth that he's been telling from February. So — I think they did what they had to do for themselves."

  • Johnny 'Football' Manziel Scores 1st TD, Makes 'Money' Sign to Buffalo Crowd [WATCH]

    Johnny "Football" Manziel finally got a chance to prove himself on a professional football field yesterday, Nov. 30, and he did not disappoint. While he had his share of lows, he also ignited the Cleveland Browns in the fourth quarter of their game against the Buffalo Bills. One play in particular — a 10-yard touchdown run — stood out. "They got a good rush up the field,'' he told cleveland.com. "It really left a big hole as I was keeping my eyes downfield, it kind of popped open. I saw the 'backer grab onto somebody and it was a huge hole and I felt like I could take it and luckily got in.'' Here is Manziel's first career touchdown: The young quarterback followed the excellent play with his signature "money" fingers:

  • Police Angry After St. Louis Rams Players Perform 'Hands Up, Don't Shoot' Routine

    Five St. Louis Rams players made a Ferguson-related statement before their NFL contest against the Oakland Raiders on Sunday. The handful in question — Stedman Bailey, Tavon Austin, Jared Cook, Chris Givens and Kenny Britt — raised their arms in a "hands up, don't shoot" fashion that Michael Brown supporters have flashed for months.
