Daniel Jones is done for the season and now he’s the next GM’s problem
In a do-or-die season for many in the New York Giants organization, the condemned are trying to delay the guillotine. Quarterback Daniel Jones, by no fault of his own, seems to be the barometer by which General Manager Dave Gettleman will be evaluated. He knows this as much as anyone, and spent heav...
Please ban complaining about analytics from sports broadcasts, I can’t take it anymore
I understand Americans hate math. I largely share that sentiment and understand no one wants computation to interfere with a day off work sitting on the couch, gorging on food and drink while watching large men collide at high rates of speed on television....
Week 13 NFL Powerless Ranking: Detroit finally wakes from nightmare
Welcome to this week’s NFL Powerless Rankings. We’re closing in on the home stretch of the NFL season, and we know the contenders from the pretenders at this point. We’ll talk about the contenders later because this list is about the less fortunate teams in the league. Let’s check out the worst of t...
Even good things are reasons for Giants fans to be sad
Last night, the Bucs and Giants wrapped up Week 11 of the NFL season. As expected, the Bucs came out with the win by a final of 30-10. This marked the 21st consecutive game where the Giants failed to score 30 or more points. Even with the return of Saquon Barkley, the former No. 2 overall pick, carr...
Jets are going with Joe Flacco instead of Mike White on Sunday, so watch something else
New York Jets Rookie quarterback Zach Wilson has still not recovered from his knee injury, but that doesn’t mean we get another week of the Mike White experience. The Jets instead will be going with a face from their recent past against the Miami Dolphins — 36-year-old Joe Flacco. They traded a sixt...
Move over Jeremy Lin, Mike White’s Jets jersey is fastest headed to discount rack
This Mike White charade is over....
Thursday Night Football, Week 9: We want more Mike White!
After just one week, where he stunningly led the NFL in passing yards, Jets’ quarterback Mike White will get to display his talents in primetime against a Colts team that has three wins and two one-possession losses in their last five games. And those two drops were to Tennessee and Baltimore — both...
To hell with ESPN for trashing Geno Smith as his teammates praise ‘phenomenal’ performance
Some people watch NFL games, and others just read about them. If you are in the latter category and visited ESPN’s website or saw its article on Twitter, your opening frame and video would be this:...
The Eli Manning takeover of all media is underway and I’m here for it
In case you hadn’t heard the news, Eli Manning has a new show. Yes, the future Hall of Famer (?) and former New York Giants quarterback is hosting his own show. No, not the one with older brother Peyton on Monday nights. I’m talking about a brand new show on the Giants YouTube channel. The Eli Manni...
Daniel Jones inches his way up to decent
Daniel Jones hasn’t been horrible this season, but he hasn’t been great either. He’ll show New York Giants fans flashes but has struggled to pair consistency with winning so far....
Cowboys make Panthers look like a hairless cat, Steelers offense stale as communion crackers, God makes miracle happen as Jets and Giants win on same day
The 2021 NFL season is starting to pick up and we are learning a lot about certain teams, with some starting to show us exactly who they are....
The end is near, Giants fans
I’m sorry, New York Giants fans. Someone should apologize to your fan base for the bill of goods you’ve been sold. Management tried to convince you that hiring Jason Garrett as offensive coordinator was a good idea. But you’re an intelligent crowd that knows football, and you knew better having seen...
The Panthers’ defense is definitely legit (and Sam Darnold might be too)
The Carolina Panthers are back, y’all. Be it by popular or unpopular demand, this team looks good. Former third overall pick Sam Darnold looks like a professional football player in his first two starts for the Panthers. A change of scenery — namely, getting the hell away from the New York Jets — se...

It’s a Trash Talking Tuesday, and today I’m trashing the New York Jets....
Week 2 Powerless Rankings: New York and Atlanta are bad at football
The 2021 NFL season is still in its infancy, but we’re finally starting to get a clear picture of which teams are about that action and which teams are not....
Belichick to Zach Wilson (probably): 'Hey kid… check out my defense’
New York Jets rookie quarterback Zach Wilson had his “Welcome to the NFL” moment in Week 2 against the New England Patriots. Bill Belichick’s defense claimed four interceptions against Wilson and the Jets while allowing the young QB just 210 yards passing. At one point in the game, Wilson’s completi...
Deadspin raises the curtain on NFL Week 1
Thursday night was a good appetizer, but Sunday is the main course. We’ve got tons of great plates heading to the table (a few forgettable matchups too, like Jacksonville at Houston (👎🏽), and personally, I couldn’t be more excited. ...
Jets’ ‘QB whisperer’ dies after being hit by car while biking
New York Jets assistant coach Greg Knapp died yesterday from injuries sustained when he was struck by a car while riding a bike last Saturday in California. The 25-year assistant coach had stops in San Francisco, Seattle, Oakland, Houston, Denver, Atlanta, and most recently New York. He was 58 years...
Five New Jersey Mayors Are Threatening To Withhold Police And Emergency Services From Next Year's Super Bowl
Many a lame observation has been made about the likelihood that next year's Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium will be ruined by bad weather like the stuff we've got now. It's silly. Rare is the storm that dumps a foot of snow on the New York metropolitan area, and rarer still is the football fan that wo...
