Taking a look at QB-heavy draft classes, and why the best isn't always the guy who goes highest
In a quarterback league, this year’s NFL Draft looks like one of the most quarterback-rich talent pools in history.

Justin Fields, Dan Orlovsky, and the never-ending degradation of Black QBs with age-old stereotypes

Renee Montgomery owning the Atlanta Dream is the latest example of Black women taking over Georgia

Russell Westbrook Borrows Lance Stephenson's Air Guitar
