With a fully vaxxed commish, bring on the bro hugs and chest bumps!
Because I’m a lunatic who thinks entirely too much about the NFL Draft, I’ve been wondering what the process would look like next week. Last year, Roger Goodell slouched in his beat up leather chair while wearing a cardigan, then read the names. The camera would cut to wherever those athletes were, ...
Oh look, here’s a DUMB take from Tom Brady no one asked for
Tom Brady kindly would like you to get off his lawn and stop fucking with traditions that are super-duper important, like jersey numbers. The NFL has passed a rule to relax their jersey number options, allowing running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends to wear any number from 1-49 and 80-89. Def...

The NFL doesn’t make the rules, they just… wait, yes they do
Every year, the NFL comes together to throw out new rules which tend to confuse us, screw our teams, and sometimes both. So pay attention. Because, today, the league and team owners agreed to pass these new rules for the 2021 season....
Hurts so good, too bad his dumbass coach doesn’t see it
Even after trading Carson Wentz, Jalen Hurts still isn’t being treated like a franchise quarterback, despite the only other quarterback option on the Philadelphia Eagles’ roster being 36-year-old statuesque can-only-operate-from-the-pocket Joe Flacco. Apparently, new head coach Nick Sirianni isn’t n...

Rams, clearly jealous of Kliff Kingsbury’s house, retreat to Malibu mansion for draft
I’m not sure if the Los Angeles Rams’ draft is sponsored by Rocket Mortgage or cocaine sales, but it’s definitely one of those. After watching Arizona Cardinals’ head coach Kliff Kingsbury draft from his lair last year like a modern-day Batman villain, Sean McVay will be getting a similar setup this...
