Jim Caldwell having to work under Frank Reich is a slap in the face
The Carolina Panthers — who are owned by a man who claims to be trying to end the “old boys network” within the NFL despite hiring a white head coach over a qualified Black one — have a new coaching staff that’s led by the trio of Frank Reich, Dom Capers, and Jim Caldwell. The hierarchy in Carolina ...
Shane Steichen is the latest white coordinator to get hired before Eric Bienemy
Alright, this is beyond ridiculous. How many brilliant offensive minds will be hired as head coaches before Eric Bieniemy? The Kansas City Chiefs offensive guru helped orchestrate the team’s second Super Bowl in four years, both of which featured double-digit comebacks. Yet, the Indianapolis Colts o...
The Dead Zone: Is Jalen Hurts the key to an NFC dynasty or is there a surprise lurking around the corner?
Losing the Super Bowl is the loneliest destiny.

Even ...
Chad Henne’s retirement should be bigger news — the Chiefs now need a reliable backup
He’s a Michigan legend and was clutch whenever the Chiefs needed him. On Sunday night, after the conclusion of Super Bowl LVII, Kansas City backup quarterback Chad Henne called it a career, announcing that he was hanging up his cleats after collecting his second ring. It’s understandable why retirem...
Chris Berman's emancipation reference is why we need to teach more Black history
Chris Berman’s postgame NFL Primetime ramblings were the soundtrack of my childhood, man. But in Sunday night’s Super Bowl postgame, Berman stepped way outside of his expertise with his ponderings about the first showdown in Super Bowl history between black quarterbacks– and placed his foot squarely...
Which companies wasted their money on terrible Super Bowl ads?
We all know that companies advertising during the Super Bowl don’t expect to recoup their outlay in sales. It’s mostly about cementing your name at the top of the top, keeping your brand top of mind for any possible consumer. Still, the idea of spending $6 million for 30 seconds, one would think you...
Rihanna had A$AP Rocky trending like a mother during Super Bowl LVII
Rihanna stole the show at Super Bowl LVII, even if only for a brief moment, and was trending all over social media, along with A$AP Rocky and a special guest. Just about everyone in the world noticed during Rihanna’s performance that she may have been packing a little extra, and we now know that to ...
Per usual, Donald Trump is a pathetic, bloated old man with a shitty take
It’s become the norm for former President Donald Trump to post nonsensical thoughts on whatever social media platforms still allow insurrectionists. And his thoughts on Rihanna’s halftime performance at Super Bowl LVII were no different. I bet you can guess what he thought about a woman of color bei...

The Chiefs’ offensive line put on a better performance than Rihanna
Another Super Bowl is in the books, and the Kansas City Chiefs are champions of the NFL once again. Patrick Mahomes wins his second ring, second Super Bowl MVP, on top of being named league MVP for the second a few days before the big game. Mahomes played a great game, especially in the second half,...
Nick Bolton cements himself as the next great young NFL linebacker
Andy Reid broke into coaching in the college ranks, spending a decade on recruiting trails and visiting high schools around America hoping to find the next great offensive lineman. His final position in the collegiate ranks was at Missouri, which wasn’t a great team during Reid’s three seasons in Co...
New York Giant sleeper cell does its job, prevents the Eagles from another title
Sunday night could’ve been really shitty for New York Giants fans. The Philadelphia Eagles were on the precipice of a second Super Bowl win in six years, lighting the Empire State Building green (again), and it’s enough to make you abstain from cheesesteaks for at least a few months. Yet, when it ma...
Travis Kelce was Chiefs' top pass catcher, but without JuJu Smith-Schuster they don’t win the Super Bowl
Juju Smith-Schuster did not enter the NFL with the goal of being a role player. His sophomore season at Southern California, he hauled in 89 passes for 1,454 yards and 10 touchdowns on a disappointing 8-6 team. The next season, the Trojans went 10-3 and won the Rose Bowl. His yards and receptions to...
First Black QBs to face off in the big game gave us one of the best Super Bowls ever
Jalen Hurts had to overcome a fumble that gave his opponents a touchdown. Patrick Mahomes had to deal with a bum ankle that he reinjured. They put on record-setting performances in football’s biggest game. And neither of them were white. If this is the outcome of having two Black quarterbacks face e...
Super Bowl LVII refs put on a show nobody asked for
Don’t ask me how many yards or touchdowns Jalen Hurts ran for or how many yards Patrick Mahomes threw for. The officiating crew for Super Bowl LVII put on one of the all-time great “I’m Him” collective performances in league history on Sunday night. Their profound impact on the game was felt for all...
The NFL will not leave Pat Tillman alone
The NFL being an official advertising wing of the US military is nothing new. From the war terms applied to the game itself by analysts and commentators, to the official camo swag, to Gronk advertising insurance only for military members and their families, the two have been arm in arm for decades. ...
Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen weren’t the story and that’s all we asked
A lot was made of Fox’s booth before the Super Bowl, as broadcasters Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen made their debut calling American sports’ biggest event. With the specter of Tom Brady looming over Olsen’s future as Fox’s No. 1 analyst, the duo was spot-on all night....
The best (and worst) moments of the Super Bowl's first half
The pre-game on FOX ridiculously started at noon. And we’ve been here the entire time. You didn’t miss anything until approximately 5:30 pm ET, when FOX aired the first Snackin’ with the Stars ad....
Players are slipping all over the place in Super Bowl LVII
The Super Bowl is only the most important game of the year. And making sure the grass turf inside State Farm Stadium was in immaculate condition at kickoff was paramount. And the league failed. A few players for both the Chiefs and Eagles have slipped on the playing surface, more than what happens i...
