Life after greatness: What happens when a sport loses its GOAT?
There’s no denying that GOATs are great for a sport when they’re still active.

Anthony Richardson should be the anchor of Pete Carroll’s Legion of Sonic Boom

Jalen Hurts’ new contract is a sign of limited elite quarterbacks, not just his play
That’s how you stick by your man. Guess they don’t know how to do that in Baltimore.

And he might as well speak for the City of Brotherly Love, except for how you’d get treated at Wel...
These NFL players have the best nicknames
Sweetness. The Refrigerator. Broadway Joe. Over the years, the NFL has seen some great players step onto the field, and some of them have garnered nicknames that fit them to a tee.

The ever-changing landscape of the NFL is, in a way, just like fashion. It’s never standing still, always looking for new and creative ways to evolve and, eventually, it’ll become a cycle.

Baltimore Ravens could've avoided the Lamar Jackson contract drama 2 years ago
In August 2021, the Buffalo Bills guaranteed Josh Allen $150 million. He played at a draft-bust level as a rookie, slightly improved in his second season, and after the Bills signed Stefon Diggs, Allen took off in season three.
