Tricked and Indebted on Land, Abused or Abandoned at Sea
LINABUAN SUR, the Philippines — When Eril Andrade left this small village, he was healthy and hoping to earn enough on a fishing boat on the high seas to replace his mother’s leaky roof.Seven months later, his body was sent home in a wooden coffin: jet black from having been kept in a fish freezer aboard a ship for more than a month, missing an eye and his pancreas, and covered in cuts and bruises, which an autopsy report concluded had been inflicted before death.“Sick and resting,” saida notetaped to his body. Handwritten in Chinese by the ship’s captain, it stated only that Mr. Andrade, 31, had fallen ill in his sleep.Mr. Andrade, who died in February 2011, and nearly a dozen other men in ..>> view originalJets Get Late Breaks Against Jaguars and End Their Two-Game Skid

The victory produced divergent opinions among players whose efforts produ..>> view originalOnce Again, Rex Ryan Trolled The Bills' Opponents With His...
The Buffalo Bills play the Dolphins today in Buffalo. The two climatologically opposite teams have a rivalry, and the Bills are coached by jolly trickster Rex Ryan, so of course he did some pranking. Much like he did two weeks ago against the Dolphins, Ryan made a point of selecting the funniest captains possible, so this time he sent out ex-Dolphins Richie Incognito, Charles Clay, and Dan Carpenter.Not quite as good as the all-OL move, or Jeff Fisher’s masterful RG3 mock-job, but still funny.Photo viaAP>> view originalWith Quarterback Sidelined, Vikings Edge the Rams

Packers (6-1) at Panthers (7-0)1 p.m. EasternLine:Packers by 3In 2014, the Panthers entered December with a 3-8-1 record. They have not lost a game since, a streak of 11 consecutive regular-season victories. Yet they do not seem to strike fear into the hearts of opponents the way the N.F.L.’s other undefeated teams do, especially the Patriots and the Broncos. Perhaps this is because the Panthers win ugly — they blew a 17-point, fourth-quarter lead to the Colts last week before winning on a field goal in overtime — and rarely blow out opponents (six of their wins have been by 11 points or fewer).Possibly outside of winning in Seattle, against a then 2-3 Seahawks team, the Panthers have yet to..>> view originalNick Mangold Optimistic About Playing Thursday Against Buffalo - Gang Green Nation

Mangold confirmed after the game that it wasn't pain that forced him out, it just didn't respond how he wanted it to.
