The NFL announced some new rule changes this week, including a few adjustments to the rules in overtime.

Georgia authorities have yet to speak with Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger regarding allegations that he sexually assaulted a college student.

Despite the Vikings season having just ended, and her husband in need of physical and mental rest, Brett Favre's wife Deanna has imposed a deadline for him to take out the trash.
