Raiders’ Black Hole gets makeover with literal Las Vegas club seating
There’s nothing quite like going to the most expensive club in town at 1pm on a Sunday afternoon, amirite? ...
Three yards and a cloud of dust won’t cut it in AFC North anymore, and draft proves it
When I think of the AFC North, I think of smashmouth football. I think of Jerome Bettis vs. Ray Lewis. I think of physical, hard-hitting games, ending in scores like 13-9. I think of heavy-set run formations, with three yards and a cloud of dust, accompanied by some of the best defensive players acr...
If the Jacksonville Jaguars aren’t on Hard Knocks, HBO should just cancel the series
In 2019, the NFL and Home Box Office – I bet the kids had no idea that’s what HBO stands for – fumbled on the 1-yard line as the ball rolled out the back of the end zone....
NFL speed ain't track speed, people - get real
It’s a Trash Talking Tuesday, and today I’m trashing all those who think football speed is the same as track speed....
Oh no, Tim Tebow might actually make the Jaguars’ roster
Tim Tebow is going to be back in the NFL because Urban Meyer still thinks it’s 2007 at the University of Florida. Hell, he’s only an hour and a half up the road from Gainesville now that he’s in Jacksonville. I’m sure the 33-year-old former Heisman Trophy winner that flamed out in the NFL and hasn’t...
Why did ‘completely healthy’ Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah’s past heart issue cause him to plummet in NFL draft?
When Day 1 of the 2021 NFL Draft concluded, several first-round talents had yet to be taken. Many viewers were shocked to see names like Asante Samuel Jr., Teven Jenkins, Trevon Moehrig, Jevon Holland, Christian Barmore, and Levi Onwuzurike still available after 32 picks. However, the most notable e...
Richard Sherman wants to rekindle love affair with Seahawks after repeatedly backhanding them
Over the past ten years, cornerback Richard Sherman has been one of the league’s top defenders, when healthy. During his career, the former Stanford wide receiver has earned five Pro Bowl nods, three First Team All-Pro selections, and a Super Bowl ring. He’s also become known as one of the biggest t...
NFL and NFLPA headed for minicamp showdown
There’s a brewing fight between the NFL and NFLPA, though that’s always kind of the case. The NFL and its owners, GMs, and coaches would like players to show up for voluntary workouts and minicamps soon. The players, citing the whole pandemic thing, think it’s perfectly fine if they continue to work...
In case you forgot, Justin Herbert had a historic rookie season
A lot of people are aware of the fact that Justin Herbert is what we in the sports word like to call “good,” but it doesn’t seem like the brilliant start to his career is being talked about enough....
Don’t look now, but the Lions are quietly having an incredible offseason
The Lions are somehow a comedy and tragedy at the same time. They’re like the Forrest Gump of NFL teams, if Forrest Gump didn’t entertain anyone. Despite several very talented players throughout their history, the Lions have never won a Super Bowl let alone played in one. Hell, they’ve only won one ...
Who got the best steals in the later rounds of the NFL Draft?
First-round players are great. We love them. They’re the highly-touted prospects that most fans heap entirely too much pressure on, with the fate of the franchise often falling on their shoulders. Teams are not strictly built in the first round, however. There were a number of rookies drafted in the...
Packers complaining about tampering is ridiculous
Aaron Rodgers is an outdated cry-baby and the Packers front office is equally bad. Apparently, the Packers are yelling “that’s not fair” and saying other teams, including the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos, “tampered” with Rodgers by letting him know that they were interested in trading for ...
Browns fans have earned this Factory of Gladness
Take a bow, Browns fans. After years of torment, ridicule, bags over heads, a parade “celebrating” a winless campaign, and a Factory of Sadness, you have earned the right to be excited for this season, and the season after that, and the season after that. Yes, there was already excitement brewing in...
The Broncos got the best running back in the NFL Draft
The best running back in the 2021 NFL Draft wasn’t Najee Harris. And it wasn’t Travis Etienne. It wasn’t a running back that played at Georgia, or Ohio State, or Alabama, or LSU. It wasn’t a running back that played in the national championship, or was recruited out of one of the hot-beds for high s...
When these 9 rookie quarterbacks will make their first starts
In total, nine quarterbacks were taken in the NFL Draft. No quarterback is ever a sure thing, but in this talented group, the odds are very high that there will be a handful of difference makers that alter the league’s landscape. Out of these nine quarterbacks taken, all of whom went in the fourth r...
Alright Rodgers, you had me, and you lost me
Aaron Rodgers wants to win, and he believes his GM, Brian Gutekunst, is stopping him from doing so. ...
Terry Bradshaw saying Aaron Rodgers should just shut up is hilarious hypocrisy
Terry Bradshaw has had enough of the Aaron Rodgers drama in Green Bay, and the Hall of Famer believes that the solution is for the reigning NFL MVP to just shut up and play....
Houston, we have a... new quarterback prospect?
There are few axioms this time of year that ring more true than “actions speak louder than words.” The Houston Texans, with their first opportunity to make a pick in the draft, demonstrated that statement perfectly in selecting a quarterback in the third round despite essentially being silent about ...
Get ready for the end, old folks (and James Robinson)
My head is spinning with the amount of new data to process from the NFL Draft. I love the draft. I’m that nerd that keeps his own spreadsheet to track picks, and you bet I’m looking at it right now for this article. New players mean new competitions for playing time, so let’s take a little spin arou...
So this is the advanced class, Chicago Bears
I’ll be honest with you folks, I don’t usually pay much attention to the NFL Draft. I barely watch any college football, so mostly it’s just names being tossed at me in the same vein as names of K-pop bands. It just doesn’t involve me. My general policy is to check in on Twitter just long enough to ...
