Andy Reid's son gets break his DUI victim didn't; Emmitt Smith is right about DEI; Kelce retires for real this time
Back in 2021, Britt Reid, then the Chiefs’ linebackers coach and son of celebrated Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, left team headquarters drunk, smashed his truck into two cars stopped on the side of the interstate at 84 mph, and put five-year-old Ariel Young into a coma. Young sustained a ...
The NFL’s franchise tag is un-American
What happens every time an NFL quarterback resets the QB market? A relatively crap quarterback gets overpaid. The reason Daniel Jones netted a four-year $160 million deal after one good season, instead of getting franchise tagged like he should’ve been, is Joe Burrow got enough money that, by compar...
No tag for Barkley, Danny Dimes buyer's remorse: The Giants appear ready to hit the reset button
The New York Giants are reportedly looking to move on from QB Daniel Jones — whom they signed to a four-year, $160 million deal — and decided against using the franchise tag on Saquon Barkley, arguably the second-best player in franchise history. ...
The New York Giants are definitely going to botch the No. 6 pick
The New York Giants have a couple months to decide how they’re going to screw up their first-round pick. By all accounts, this is a deep quarterback draft, with a handful of prospects flirting with franchise guy potential. There are three to four teams with QB needs ahead of the G-Men, so at No. 6, ...
Ever wonder what an NBA game would look like, <i>Spiderman </i>style?
The NBA kicked off its All-Star weekend with a celebrity game where influencers, NFL players, and WNBA stars got to attempt the sport’s first-ever eight-point shot. But the real “innovation” for basketball came hours before Stephen A. and Shannon Sharpe’s teams took the LED court. ...
The luster on Brian Daboll’s bald head rubbed off in record time
While the New York Giants didn’t intend to undergo drastic changes this offseason, they are now. On the same day that head coach Brian Daboll said he expected both offensive and defensive coordinators to return, the latter reportedly went scorched earth on his boss before storming out. With Wink Mar...
Any GM who prefers Drake Maye over Caleb Williams is a moron
The distinction between NFL fans, and football fans, is never more apparent than with draft hype. Each year, experts laud some schmuck quarterback whose archetype fits their formula as a franchise savior, and NFL fans inhale the assessment so often, so blindly that they really believe Drake Maye is ...
Tommy Cutlets, we hardly knew ya
Tommy Cutlets must have stuck around the fryer too long, because his fairytale ride as the Giants’ starting QB appears to be toast....
Brian Daboll kept his QB change from Pam Oliver — it’s fair to wonder if this is the Charissa Thompson-Erin Andrews effect
There’s never been a sports journalist who enjoys “coach speak.” That annoyance can become anger if another journalist is the reason “coach speak” is what you get whenever you ask a question. We’ll never know if that’s what happened when New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll didn’t tell Pam Oliver...
This week in football: Chiefs' act is getting so old; No Supe for Al Michaels; Tommy DeVito's stupid situation with the Giants
Full disclosure, I’ve never been on board with the Kansas City Chiefs. Sure, they were, for a while, the best team in America, with a young and exciting generational talent under center and a head coach who never had to answer for anything because he wears Hawaiian shirts, has a funny mustache, and ...
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 ...
Justin Herbert is the latest QB done in by injury
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert will miss the remainder of the 2023 regular season after undergoing surgery on a fractured right index finger, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero....
