The Minnesota Vikings have made it official: It’s all on Kirk Cousins. Skol and longtime running back Dalvin Cook are parting ways, according to Tom Pelissero, and thus the front office is putting the onus squarely on Cousins’ shoulders. Whether this is a new direction for the offense, or general ma...
Josh Allen is good enough for the Madden cover, but how about Hailee Steinfeld?
If you were wondering what gets me through this job, it’s shoehorning something I want to write about into a sports story.

With Aaron Rodgers in New York, the Jets and these other teams should improve
Not every team in the NFL can enjoy the same scope of success. After all, there are 32 teams and at the end of the season only one Super Bowl Champion.
