The NFL is hell-bent on returning to normal, starting with a live draft in scenic Cleveland
We’re kinda sorta trending towards normalcy, and the NFL Draft on April 29 in Cleveland will lean into that, consequences be damned. The NFL announced today in a press release that the draft will be live, in person, with actual live people, including commissioner Roger Goodell, prospects, and fans. ...
Momentum is tomorrow’s starting pitcher and other drugs
It’s one of the oldest cliches in baseball, which means it’s one of the oldest cliches in American society. But it happens to be true. Whatever happens in the previous game doesn’t really carry over. We just assign that after the fact when it fits to try and make sense of a game that rarely doesn’t ...
Kyler Murray's Snap Clap Might Be A Problem
Kyler Murray played four series in the Cardinals’ loss to the Raiders on Thursday, going 3-for-8 for 12 yards. Not great. But also who cares, it’s preseason. Potentially much more relevant were the two false start penalties he was called for in the first quarter....
Cardinals Pick Kyler Murray First Overall, Stuff Josh Rosen In The Attic
Back in October, Texas Tech’s then-head coach Kliff Kingsbury had high praise for the Oklahoma quarterback his team was about to face, Kyler Murray. He told reporters that if he could, he’d take Murray with the first pick of the draft. The Cardinals appeared to take that comment into serious conside...
NFL Teams Are Taking All The Wrong Lessons From Sean McVay's Success
It’s a commonplace that the NFL is a copycat league, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. Look at the rise of Sean McVay, which in recent months has prompted a mad scramble among teams for McVayalikes the world over. Confronted with one successful unorthodox coaching hire, many NFL teams seized on...
Patrick Peterson: Upon Second Thought, I Shall Ride The Towering Assberg
Back in October, with his horrid Cardinals stuck at 1–6 and playing like a gigantic ass that was pooped out by an even larger ass, Pro Bowl cornerback Patrick Peterson reached the end of his rope and demanded a trade, sending word through Adam Schefter that he “desperately” wanted a change of scener...
Five-Star USC Wideout Bru McCoy Got Screwed By Kliff Kingsbury
In an otherwise disappointing 2019 recruiting class for a USC football team coming off a 5-7 season, wide receiver Bru McCoy was the undisputed gem. A five-star ranked by some as one of the top 10 players in the country, the California native McCoy, together with fellow wideout Kyle Ford, was primed...
I Regret To Inform You That Stephen A. Smith Is In A Feud With The Arizona Cardinals
Stephen A. Smith is constantly whapping back and forth between the poles that make up his on-air persona: entertainer and dummy. At the latter, it can be really bad, like when he’s breaking down a matchup by citing three different players who are no longer with the team, or much more harmfully, lett...
Report: New USC Offensive Coordinator Kliff Kingsbury Is Now New Arizona Cardinals Head Coach Kliff Kingsbury
It feels like barely even a month ago that Kliff Kingsbury departed his head coaching gig at Texas Tech and arrived at USC to be the Trojans’ new offensive coordinator.

Texas Tech Beats Texas On Trick Play Touchdown
For the first time since 1997, Texas Tech beat Texas in Austin last night in a 48-45 thriller.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said last night that the play is called...
Kliff Kingsbury Clowns Bret Bielema After Texas Tech Beats Arkansas
It has not been a good year for Arkansas football and Bret Bielema. The Razorbacks came into the season ranked #18, but have since wilted. Bielema made fun of Ohio State for having an easy schedule, then his team went and lost to Toledo, the type of opponent he had just dismissed....
Kliff Kingsbury Morphing Into Charlie Weis Is Quite Disturbing
The Big 12 has a commercial with some of the conference's coaches morphing into each other, and that's how we get Kliff Kingsbury turning into Charlie Weis. This transformation can actually happen if Kingsbury screws up every major decision in his future. Don't do that, Kliff. You're too handsome to...
Kliff Kingsbury's Swaggy And Expensive-Looking Watch Is Probably Fake
Texas Tech head coach Kliff Kingsbury, the man who has gone to great lengths to craft a "James Bond coaches football" image for himself, showed up at Big 12 media days sporting a very expensive-looking watch.

Video: Texas Tech Coach Kliff Kingsbury's Swag Cannot Be Contained
When we last checked in with the Texas Tech football program, we were giggling like school children at this farcical email, sent from a booster to the school's deputy athletic director.
