Drafting George Karlaftis shows the Chiefs sure know how to pick ’em
Give one point to Kansas City Chiefs Twitter for a nickname they created. They have started calling the Chiefs’ first-round pick, George Karlaftis, “Furious” George. He likes the name, and what is there not to like? Great wordplay, pop culture reference, and perfect for a pass rusher....

Jason Peters might not be making Cowboys jokes this year

Behold! Your 2022 NFL all-washed team
Even the greatest NFL players eventually peak and begin that tumble back down the mountain.

The SEC is obnoxiously perfect in Week One

Where does Tony Khan think stars come from?
AEW maven Tony Khan had his pre-All Out media call yesterday.

However, every so often someone asks him something that doesn’...

It’s make or break time for JuJu Smith-Schuster
In March, JuJu Smith-Schuster signed a one-year $10.75 million contract with the Kansas City Chiefs. Playing with Patrick Mahomes, this is his prove-it-or-lose- season.

The Jimmy Garoppolo drawings will live on
On Monday, the Jimmy Garoppolo saga in San Francisco took an unexpected turn.

Temper your expectations for USC, but not Caleb Williams

A title team constitutes more than Lincoln Riley and Caleb Williams as it takes pallets of talent to face down the Alabamas, Georgias,...

Carolina Panthers could be Super Bowl dark horse or disappointment — both are somehow likely
The Carolina Panthers have the best chance of taking one of this year’s top 10 draft picks, translating that into a Super Bowl appearance the quickest in a similar journey to last season’s Bengals squad.

LeBron is manipulating the media for his sons' sake
