Breaking: Lions deal Stafford to Rams for Goff, a slew of picks with a maniacal laugh (most likely)
Les Snead, the general manager for the Los Angeles Rams, apparently doesn’t like first round picks. He also apparently doesn’t like Jared Goff. He also also apparently — really, deeply, and profoundly — likes Matthew Stafford....

Tell me again that you think Aaron Rodgers is leaving Green Bay, and I’ll show you the picture of him in the bed of offensive tackle David Bakhtiari’s truck with a case of beer sporting Packers swag outside Lambeau Field in the most “IDGAF what you think” moment I have ever seen....

Tom Brady epitomizes the, “Ugh, I hate that guy,’ sentiment in sports fans … but, why?

The way we feel about teams and players should be no different. How many times have you had a conversation about an athlete or ...

From no Marshawn to the Falcon Flop, here are the worst play calls in Super Bowl history

Senior Bowl preview: Which players stood out on the first day of practice?
In a year where we won’t have an NFL Scouting Combine, the Reese’s Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama will have even more weight than normal.

Scotty Miller is extremely wrong in thinking he can outrun Tyreek Hill
Buccaneers wide receiver Scotty Miller just lied to himself, the rest of the NFL, and the entire American public. This man suggested that he would beat Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill in a race, and in fact thinks of himself as the fastest guy in the NFL....

Five artists who should play the Super Bowl halftime show
There is probably some esteem to be gained from being labeled A) a big enough act and B) just inoffensive enough to be tapped as a Super Bowl halftime performer. As for national TV, there is no bigger stage, in part thanks to the Grammys being the butt of jokes for three decades. So this isn’t a lis...

Women and Black assistant coaches will be on display in the Super (Minority) Bowl in Tampa
As “Black Monday’’ sits in the NFL’s rear-view mirror, the ongoing conversation around the lack of African-American head coaches continues. The Rooney Rule isn’t working.
