Yeah, Brady vs. Manning has nothing on Mahomes vs. Allen

Philly fans need to put a cork in it

The city of Philadelphia is rocking right now, and quite frankly, it’s a little sickening. Their beloved Phillies advanced to the NLCS Saturday night for the first time since 2010.

NFL Week 6: Is it time to stop doubting the NY Giants?

The New York Giants have shocked the NFL world through five weeks, going 4-1 with wins against teams like the Tennessee Titans (3-2) and Green Bay Packers (3-2) to boot. Still, despite their impressive record, the Giants are viewed in a mostly negative light by the NFL elite. The G-Men head into the...

Philadelphia Eagles’ easy schedule could ensure the road to Super Bowl runs through Philadelphia

The Philadelphia Eagles are tied for the ninth most difficult remaining strength of schedule in terms of combined winning percentage, with their remaining opponents a combined .533.

Carson Wentz, the best a man (Ron Rivera) can get

As the now-Commanders acquired Carson Wentz to be its next quarterback after three decades of unsuccessful options — none lasting more than three seasons as Washington’s primary starter — the fan base just sighed. Wentz was never going to be the guy. He looks like Peyton Manning and Ryan Leaf on bac...

Justin Fields and a tale of two halves

The first half of last night’s primetime game between the Washington Commanders and Chicago Bears was horrendously boring.

A rematch for the ages?

Rob Parker's NFL picks for Week 6

Jason Peters has a few words about Philly fans

Jason Peters officially became a Dallas Cowboy yesterday by blasting the Philadelphia Eagles fan base.

Of all the cities in America,...

Daniel Carlson is inching ever closer to Justin Tucker territory

Having a clutch kicker is a luxury that most NFL fans would die for. In today’s NFL, there’s really only one kicker that everybody trusts to get the job done when the game is on the line: Baltimore’s Justin Tucker. Sure, there have been years where guys like Adam Vinatieri, Harrison Butker, Stephen ...

Ron Rivera throws Carson Wentz under the bus as Washington’s pathetic sideshow rolls on

Last month, the Washington Commanders assumed their designated position on the NFL’s porcelain throne, and are henceforth known as the Washington Commodes (they are playing like ass).
