A look at the Super Bowl LVII injury report
Availability is the best ability. Bill Parcells’ quote is never truer than the Super Bowl’s winner take-all-stakes, which can often be decided by the healthier roster. If the Kansas City Chiefs hoist the Lombardi Trophy Sunday night, their training staff should garner MVP votes. In 2020, they limped...

The NFL’s racism is unintentionally benefiting its best teams
There’s something poetic about the rich getting richer in the NFL. The latest example of a rich team making the best move for its franchise comes from a rich individual who can’t see the writing on the wall in front of him. Enter David Tepper, who unfortunately had the loudest voice in the room on h...
No, 'Bama fans, you don’t get to claim Jalen Hurts
We need a ruling on which campus gets to claim which player now that college players are transferring at a record rate. Is it where the player finishes his career? So much about being a college football fan is about measuring your program against everybody else, and one of the ways we do that is by ...
Nepotism in college football hits a new low
Normally, when a football program has a competent coach who’s gone stale, the university will force out whichever coordinator is most responsible for the lack of success. If only life was that easy for the Iowa Hawkeyes. The team is stuck in an offensive malaise (to put it kindly), but can’t oust Br...
Jaden Rashada’s failed Florida NIL deal resembles a coach’s contract — so what’s the issue?
Sports is one of the few industries in which a person’s salary is public knowledge. It’s how we know what Nick Saban, Jim Harbaugh, and Brian Kelly are making. But in the case of former University of Miami, University of Florida, and now Arizona State-commit Jaden Rashada, a quarterback prospect tha...

Travis Kelce says he would put his nuts on brother Jason's drumsticks
The best revelation of Super Bowl Opening Night is that Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce would go Brennan Huff on his brother Jason’s drums. Thank goodness the younger Kelce brought some spice to this Super Bowl matchup. A Step Brothers reference was much needed to break up this wholesome f...
Probably not the study the NFL wanted coming out this week
As the proper bookend to yesterday’s TMA, B.U. released the results of its study of former NFL players’ brains, and it’s not a number that the NFL wants talked about on Super Bowl week. This is the time that the NFL wants to celebrate itself, what everyone loves about it, why it’s become a religion ...
Eagles' Nick Sirianni asked comically bad question at Super Bowl's Opening Night
In the Eagles’ Nick Sirianni’s first Super Bowl as a head coach, he experienced one of the true jewels of Super Bowl week: Being asked one of the most ridiculous questions that he will ever hear....
It appears that 'Crypto Bowl' was on the one and done plan
Did you enjoy last year’s crypto Super Bowl? If so, I have some bad news for you. Not as bad as if you received a portion of your salary in FTX cryptocurrency last year, but still a blow to those invested in the industry’s success. There will be no crypto ads during the Super Bowl on Sunday. However...
Screw the future, the 49ers already had their QB of the present without the NFL Draft
One of the most interesting quarterback situations in NFL history is unfolding in San Francisco. It’s a good problem to have, but an annoying problem nonetheless. Winning a Super Bowl is next to impossible without a solid quarterback. If there’s one team in the NFL currently designed to win a future...
Please don’t let Jesse Marsch fall upwards into the USMNT job

The best foods to bring to your Super Bowl party
There is nothing more stressful than knowing you have a group of people coming over in 20 minutes, but your dip in the oven takes 40 minutes. Or that you might be showing up empty-handed to the pot-luck style watch party, and you are hoping no one notices. In any case, here is a guide to bringing an...
These are the worst Super Bowl matchups of all time
The epicenter of American sports is the Super Bowl. The biggest performance in music every year isn’t at the Grammys. It’s in between grown men in pads smashing into each other. Good luck Rihanna. And just because it’s two of the best teams in the NFL every year competing for a championship doesn’t ...
Don’t worry, the Pro Bowl won’t be the future of football
The NFL ran its Pro Bowl weekend, sinking into the party theme that it’s always been for everyone in any sport really. It used to be that players didn’t mind the free trip to Hawaii, though when it got to be they could all easily afford a trip to Hawaii that sort of lost its charm. So the NFL made t...
Bomani Jones roasted Jake Paul like lamb on a spit
For anyone looking for a good laugh on this Sunday in which the only football on television is of the flag-snatching variety, a Bomani Jones interview with Jake Paul aired this weekend....
