In less than a month as the new head football coach at Bethune-Cookman University — a Historically Black College & University (HBCU) — Ed Reed has already unsurprisingly proven why he never should have been hired. Over the weekend, the College and Pro Football Hall of Famer took to social media to r...

NFL touchdown celebrations are sad and empty now

The NFL used to be a league full of expression and originality, and much of that was on display in the endzone during touchdown celebrations.

Deion Sanders is borrowing too much of his Colorado strategy from Elon Musk

Deion Sanders’ pimping of Jackson State and HBCU culture is finally over

It’s never been easier to rebuild or bottom out in college football

The transfer window for college football players doesn’t officially open until Dec. 5., but that hasn’t stopped disgruntled wide receivers, linemen, linebackers, QBs, running backs, and every other position from making their intentions known.

Deion Sanders to Colorado is the 'fish out of water' comedy I want to see

It’s a comedic style we’ve seen in Hollywood plenty over the years. The fish-out-of-water mentality. Pluck the main character from their established world and place them into a weird situation where any semblance of normality is gone. Legally Blonde nails it. So does The Jerk. My favorite of that ge...

Is this why Daniel Snyder hasn’t been drop-kicked out of the NFL?

It’s still blackmail if it’s done in plain sight.

Deion Sanders: The one Black friend

Is any college coach under more pressure than Jimbo?

It’s still a shame James White never got the moment in the sun that he deserved

Don’t worry Deion Sanders, I’m not about to make a case that James White belongs in the Hall of Fame. He made comments recently about how he feels the standard of players being inducted has dropped in recent years. Richard Seymour, LeRoy Butler — hey argue amongst yourselves....
