After much consideration, the Giants got the steal of the draft, and it’s not even close
The New York Giants haven’t just found their next Michael Strahan. As lofty as putting the former Oregon Ducks’ All-American into a threshold in the stratosphere, in Kayvon Thibodeaux they might have found a player better than the gap-toothed Hall of Famer. And perhaps Thibodeaux will end up hosting...
Congrats, Browns, you weren’t inept <em>and</em> unethical
Congratulations are in order for Jimmy Haslam and the Cleveland Browns. The NFL’s independent investigation into former head coach Hue Jackson’s claims that the team paid him to lose games found “no evidence” to substantiate those allegations, proving that the team did not intentionally lose games b...
Is there any real relationship between NFL Combine performance and long-term success?
Every year around this time, football fans get bombarded with numbers, scores, and facts about a player’s athleticism based on their combine drills. “This guy ran a sub 4.6 40!” “Did you see so and so’s vertical?” “Joey Donuts over there has enormous hands!” Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Too often t...
The fastest NFL Combine ever created a new class of sonic boom or bust prospects
The NFL’s Underwear Olympics has always had a tangential connection to actual football. Bench press reps are the equivalent of Strong Man competitions, but until linemen are pulling trucks, they don’t move the needle. Besides, the best combine bench press numbers typically are posted by the lineman ...
Frisky NFL teams that could get friskier with the right QB
Watching the Rams walk a tightrope without a net this season was exhilarating. They traded two first round picks for Matthew Stafford, and people who hated the deal were a Tom Brady comeback away from laughing at Stan Kroenke and Los Angeles for being so frivolous with their assets. (I would’ve been...
Hey NFL awards voters, you forgot Nick Bosa
For the first time in several years, I don’t think anyone was too upset with any of the award recipients during the NFL Honors ceremony last night. Sure, some salty Packers fans might be upset that Tennessee’s Mike Vrabel won Coach of the Year — just as I predicted I might add — but aside from that,...
Joe Burrow is the leader I thought he was
I’ve gone on record stating that Joe Burrow might be one of the best leaders in the NFL. However, after seeing the stunt he is pulling ahead of his team’s final game of the season with the AFC’s top seed on the line, I have to alter my statement....

Myles Garrett has been haunting quarterbacks on the field for years and now he’s doing it in his spare time as well
Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett is trying to strike terror into the hearts of quarterbacks everywhere with his Halloween costume, really more of a Halloween theme. It began in mid-October when the names of some of the quarterbacks that he had sacked, and desired to sack, were given tomb...
NFL Week 6: Chargers and Cardinals each try to prove they’re the best team in the league
There is a void at the top of the NFL right now. With Kansas City sputtering at 2-3 and failing to keep opponents from scoring more than 25 every single week, the power has shifted. Nobody knows who the top dog is anymore, and every team that had become so used to playing second or third fiddle to t...

Justin Fields said the NFL game was ‘slow’ in the preseason — the Cleveland Browns sacked him 9 times on Sunday
Justin Fields’ mouth wrote a check that his ass couldn’t cash. And on Sunday, the Bears rookie quarterback found out that the NFL is full of bank tellers....
If the Ravens can’t handle Maxx Crosby, it’s gonna be a long season
Monday night’s tilt between the Ravens and Raiders brought about one of the wackiest endings to a game we’ve ever witnessed. There were last-minute field goals to send the game into overtime, some late-game heroics from receiver Bryan Edwards, a touchdown called back and placed at the 1-yard line, a...
Is Matt Nagy trying to cover his ass by sticking with Andy Dalton?
As of right now, three of the five quarterbacks taken in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft are starting: Trevor Lawrence in Jacksonville (1), Zach Wilson in New York (2), and Mac Jones in New England (15). All three of them were chosen to take over as the starting QBs for their respective teams ...
One takeaway from the Hall of Fame Game: Najee Harris looked pretty solid
And with that, football is back. There will be football games every week from now until February 2022. It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and while we still have to wait a little over a month before games actually start counting, being able to see how certain players fit into their team’s sys...

Let these athletes tell you all about how much it sucked to have COVID
Remember when you heard that young, healthy people would have an easy time with the coronavirus? Looking back, it’s as ridiculous as comparing COVID to the flu or saying the country would open by Easter. But that’s what some thought around this time last year....
Myles Garrett never deserved to be the villain, now he’s one of the NFL’s biggest heroes
Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett has come a long way from November 14, 2019....
