Here are the best possible Super Bowl LVIII matchups
People are going to watch the Super Bowl no matter what, but not all Super Bowl matchups are created equal. With a total of 49 possible Super Bowl matchups remaining, only so many are going to be truly watchable. Considering seeding, history, narratives, and outright entertainment, this is a deep di...
Revenge is a dish best served in the NFL playoffs
According to Christopher Wallace’s definition, beef is when you need two gats to go to sleep; when your moms ain’t safe up in the streets; when I see you, guaranteed to be an ICU; when you make your enemies, start your Jeep; and when you roll no less than 30 deep. While I don’t know how many of this...
The NFL’s Black coaches are turning Wild-Card Weekend into a diversity showcase
There’s one storyline the NFL hasn’t highlighted heading into the postseason, and that’s probably for legal reasons. At least, I can’t imagine the league’s attorneys would advise them to showcase its entire roster of Black head coaches making the playoffs, considering Brian Flores’ lawsuit is still ...

Tommy DeVito, Daniel Jones and the stupidity of the New York Giants’ QB room
Of all the moronic ways the first season of Daniel Jones’ four-year, $160 million contract could play out, this might be the dumbest. Not only did he go down for the year after two TDs and six picks in five and a half starts, but the team’s third-string QB took over the fanbase and maybe the locker ...

There's no truly dominant NFL team so far this season
Heading into Week 5 of the 2023 NFL season there still isn’t a team that’s jumped out ahead of the pack as the clear-cut favorite being head and shoulders above the rest. We always hear the word parity, and we see it even at the top with the best teams. Nobody looks like a world-beater who could ree...
Baker Mayfield is doing his best Tom Brady (at 45) impression
A season ago, the Philadelphia Eagles eased into the playoffs, and the No. 1 seed, behind Jalen Hurts, a great defense, and a favorable schedule. Their out-of-division matchups were the NFC North, and the AFC South; a combo almost guaranteed to net solid returns for really any organization. I say th...

Jalen Hurts has his flu game, sort of
Sept. 25 is not a deciding date on the NFL calendar, especially for teams that entered that game undefeated. When the Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers put their 2-0 records against each other in a Week 3 Monday Night Football matchup, the men in the red jerseys, led by Baker Mayfield, fe...

Don't be fooled by the NFL teams that played above and below expectations in Week 1
Week 1 of the NFL season is in the books, and as usual, we’ve got some extreme overreactions to some of the action. We see this every year early on when teams play far above their expected output or well below. So, let’s figure out which teams may have fooled the masses during the opening week of th...
The Giants and Vikings are who we thought they'd be
Bill Parcells was correct when he said “you are what your record says you are.” In all sports, the champion is decided by who wins the tournament, and the seeding is determined by victories leading up to it. ...
The San Francisco 49ers are too injury-prone to trade Trey Lance
The reactionary nature of the sports media has foisted Trey Lance on the trading block after the third overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft fell to the third spot on the San Francisco 49ers QB depth chart. Losing any quarterback competition to Sam Darnold is perilous for your career — especially if it...
Baker Mayfield’s whiteness keeps getting him NFL starting QB jobs
Baker Mayfield didn’t do anything wrong. The crime that keeps getting committed is done by the owners, general managers, and coaches who keep giving him endless opportunities. If Mayfield can keep being named a starter in the NFL, then Nathan Peterman will always have a shot at being on a team’s pay...
With Baker Mayfield leading the way, you can already throw in the towel on Tampa Bay’s season
Well, it’s official. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are doomed to finish the season with six wins. Tampa announced Tuesday morning that Baker Mayfield has been named the Week 1 starter for the team after beating out Kyle Trask for the spot, as many suspected would happen. Prepare for mediocrity, Bucs fans...

Mark Cuban lost out on billions in Uber money, and thank god football is almost here
In today’s edition of “Billionaires, they’re just like us,” Mark Cuban admitted to rejecting a chance to get in early on Uber and turn $250,000 into $2.3 billion. According to an appearance on a podcast nobody cares about, the Dallas Mavericks owner said he was approached with an offer that reflecte...
Russell Wilson, Dak Prescott, and the NFL players facing a make-or-break year
One thing we love about the NFL is all the storylines that carry over from one season to the next and those that are created during the offseason.
