Dolphins, keep Tua’s wounded ducks to yourself
Hey there Miami Dolphins. Just thought that I would throw you a couple of friendly reminders....
Why the Baltimore Ravens should be the team to look out for in 2022
The Baltimore Ravens were ravaged with injuries in 2021. So much so that PFF’s WAR-Adjusted Injuries Lost (WAIL) statistic indicates that the Ravens lost about 2.86 wins last season. That would’ve put the team in the playoffs with either a 10-7 or 11-6 record. They possibly would’ve been ahead of th...
You don’t have to care about the NFL schedule yet
For anyone who’s ever sat at work, thinking, “this meeting could’ve been an email,” this question is for you: Why are you transfixed by the NFL’s schedule being released in bits and pieces for a whole week?...
In Denver, Russell Wilson looks the happiest he’s been in years and he hasn’t taken a snap
It still feels weird seeing Russell Wilson in Denver Broncos colors. If it feels that way for me, I can only imagine what it’s like for Seattle’s 12th Man fan base. But Wilson is already embracing his new surroundings with the Broncos franchise and within the Denver community....
Best Buy employees break into stellar zone defense to stop shoplifters
There are few things out there that soften the edges of this cruel world quite like a funny sports video on Twitter and the even funnier armchair-expert responses that come along with it. The video making the rounds today depicts a group of Best Buy employees caught on the store’s security camera de...
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson wants another NFL team in the metroplex... Jerry Jones does not
Apparently, Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson is ready for a battle with one Jerry Jones. In response to a Tweet posted by the NFL on CBS, posing the question of which city deserves the next NFL expansion team, Johnson promptly answered Dallas. ...
Welcome to the spin zone with Pete Carroll
It’s crazy how quickly NFL head coaches forget how much a great quarterback matters after having one on their staff for an extended period of time. They get this notion in their head that it was solely their coaching that made these guys great, and all of the sudden you get Bill Belichick signing Ca...
After much consideration, the Giants got the steal of the draft, and it’s not even close
The New York Giants haven’t just found their next Michael Strahan. As lofty as putting the former Oregon Ducks’ All-American into a threshold in the stratosphere, in Kayvon Thibodeaux they might have found a player better than the gap-toothed Hall of Famer. And perhaps Thibodeaux will end up hosting...
Ryan Tannehill and Malik Willis are the new Cap Rooney and Willie Beamen from ‘Any Given Sunday’
“Kid’s breathing down my neck.”...
Just another week in Jerry's World
It’s been a busy week for Jerry Jones following the NFL draft. First, there are the three days of the draft, as grueling as that whole process can be. Then Jones drafted tackle Tyler Smith with the No. 24 overall pick and was immediately questioned by almost everyone in Dallas. And to justify the se...
RGIII is at it again — campaigning for a spot on an NFL roster
Robert Griffin III is at it again with talk of a comeback to the NFL. Griffin is turning to the worst possible destination in the minds of most Washington Commanders fans — he says he’d love to make his return with the Dallas Cowboys....
Army star could go from national defense to defense in the National Football League
As Andre Carter II showed his ability to shove past offensive linemen and obliterate plenty of quarterbacks for 15.5 sacks during the 2021 college football season, his steady rise as the integral member of Army’s defense led to momentum for a possible NFL career as well. Should he stay healthy in th...
I'm no mentor, says Ryan Tannehill
The subject of mentorship among veteran quarterbacks is a divisive one. There can only be one starter and there’s no more conspicuous rite of passage than an old vet buried six feet under on the depth chart by a young gun. Egos are fragile though. Kurt Warner has expressed his preference for showing...
The Falcons played with Matty Ice and got burned
Matt Ryan is a Falcons’ legend. He’s the franchise’s all-time leader in passing yards (by more than double the next closest), passing touchdowns (by more than double the next closest), and Approximate Value. He also led the team to one of their only two Super Bowl appearances and won the franchise’s...
Hits and misses from the Dallas Cowboys’ 2022 NFL draft
The Dallas Cowboys made it through the 2022 NFL NFL draft without making any big waves. Two weeks before the draft, Jerry Jones went on the record stating he’d be willing to move up in this draft which left fans in Big D on pins and needles. Dallas didn’t make any move to jump up and played it safe ...
Congrats, Browns, you weren’t inept <em>and</em> unethical
Congratulations are in order for Jimmy Haslam and the Cleveland Browns. The NFL’s independent investigation into former head coach Hue Jackson’s claims that the team paid him to lose games found “no evidence” to substantiate those allegations, proving that the team did not intentionally lose games b...
FOX puts its college football crew in a tough spot by potentially bringing Urban Meyer back
When Urban Meyer first got hired to talk about football on TV for FOX, it was after he left Ohio State due to a scandal that he could have avoided if he weren’t such a trash human being. And since history loves to repeat itself, it looks like Urban Meyer is about to get hired to talk about football ...
Men like Herschel Walker are coming for my rights and probably yours, too
If you have a young daughter, I feel for you today. She will likely be part of the first group of American women to have fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers. If you’re a woman living in a red state, you’re about to have fewer rights than women in blue states. ...
