Ravens will take to the air
I’m going to keep talking about it until people start understanding what’s happening, because the clues just keep on coming: The Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson are going to throw the football a lot more this year. ...
All the Ryan Tannehill slander is getting tired
Adam Gase had a winning record with Ryan Tannehill as his starting quarterback in Miami. Let that sink in for a second. ...
Things aren’t looking so hot in Green Bay
Have you ever seen “The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly?” No, seriously. The 1966 Western starring Clint Eastwood is a classic, featuring horses and gunfights and bravado and all that toxic Hollywood macho “this is what a man is” stuff. The movie reaches a boiling point in a three-way standoff between E...
Ryan Fitzpatrick has been doing this football thing for a minute
With the 250th pick in the seventh round of the 2005 NFL draft, the St. Louis Rams (’memba them?) selected a quarterback out of Harvard — not exactly a football powerhouse. His name was Ryan Fitzpatrick, and of the 13 quarterbacks taken before him, only one (Aaron Rodgers) still plays in the league....
This hat has LOSER written all over it
Even apparel makers think the Detroit Lions are losers....
If Tannehill can make two reads, the Julio Jones Titans should be Super Bowl favorites
As everyone knows by now, Julio Jones is going to be a Tennessee Titan. ...
Lions coach bizarrely dons helmet — probably to minimize damage from banging his head against the wall
Dan Campbell is already acting like a coach whose team has won eight games in two seasons. ...
Saints’ Michael Thomas is going to prove all his haters wrong in 2021
If you ask a bunch of random people on the street who the best receiver in the National Football League is right now, you’d probably get a wide array of different answers. Green Bay’s Davante Adams would probably get a couple votes. Arizona’s DeAndre Hopkins would as well. Tyreek Hill, Stefon Diggs,...
Ertz so good, but he’s 31
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is a 3-time Pro Bowler, Super Bowl champ, and husband to a gold medalist soccer player. Those are some pretty solid accomplishments. Mr. Julie Ertz is just two years removed from a Pro Bowl season in which he caught 88 passes for 916 yards and six touchdowns. ...
Eagles hire ridiculously qualified Muslim woman as a scout — Eagles fans predictably react horribly
The Philadelphia Eagles announced several hires yesterday on Twitter, including the addition of one Ameena Soliman as a scout....
Matt Nagy being on the hot seat in Chicago makes zero sense (to non-Bears fans)
When the Chicago Bears shocked the NFL world by trading up nine spots to select Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields with the 11th overall pick, the entire football world applauded Chicago for such a great move. The lack of a consistent starting quarterback had been the biggest elephant on the Bears...
Lions lionsing about alert: Kicking the tires on Todd Gurley
The Detroit Lions, who are contending for the No. 1 overall pick next year (yes, already), yet fail to admit it, might bring in an aging running back with arthritis to replace another other aging running back because they couldn’t possibly fathom giving their young, do-everything superstar running b...
NFL’s all-time scoring leader packs up his legendary cleats
Kickers are people too, and Adam Vinatieri is the greatest kicker of all time. Put some damn respect on his name. The 48-year old veteran, who is the all-time leading scorer in NFL history, announced his retirement yesterday on the Pat McAfee Show....
Aaron Rodgers singing Taylor Swift makes it seem the Packers aren’t <i>the 1</i>
Aaron Rodgers is out here singing Taylor Swift’s the 1 on camera, yeah it might be wraps for the Packers....
Cincy has a true leader in Burrow, too bad the Bengals aren’t treating him like one
Joe Burrow makes me want to run through a brick wall head first, and I’m not even a Bengals fan....
Pol's son says Trump hinted at 'a lot of money' in 2008 for Spygate probe to go away
The New England Patriots have as much of a scandalous underbelly as any NFL organization, in no small part due to the example that is set from the top down. Prostitution, spying, cheating, altering games from the stadium to the ball itself — you name it, they’ve done it, or have at least been accuse...
People are yelling about the Cowboys letting another player wear Tony Romo’s No. 9, because everything’s louder in Texas
Retiring jerseys is kinda a weird thing. Across all sports, each team has their own process. Some retire numbers liberally (ahem, ex-New York Yankees Nos. 1 through 10), and others have retired the numbers of seemingly unworthy players, like the Oklahoma City Thunder retiring… Nick Collison’s No. 4....
Let’s try to translate from whatever language Aaron Rodgers is speaking to Kenny Mayne
Aaron Rodgers emerged from the soundstage he built in his home to practice for his Jeopardy! audition last night. He was part of Kenny Mayne’s last Sportscenter on the WWL, which also commemorated the end of ESPN having anyone with an identifiable personality on their flagship show....
DeShaun Watson skipping OTAs is good news for Houston
For the first time this offseason, Deshaun Watson is doing the Houston Texans a favor, even if he doesn’t mean to. His motives on this, I’m sure, have nothing to do with what’s in the best interest of the team and are purely selfish, but still — in demanding a trade, Watson reportedly won’t show up ...
Falcons would be nuts if they let Julio Jones escape to Patriots
The Patriots have reportedly been weighing the idea of trading for Julio Jones, and the seven-time Pro Bowl receiver is said to be interested in going to New England, so it makes all the sense in the world for the Falcons not to trade him....
