Trying to fight Cam Newton is just plain dumb
Sitting on the couch (or in the press box) and believing that you can do, or be better at, what professional athletes accomplish every day is outrageous.

How blatantly does Eric Bieniemy have to fail to fail upward?
I just want to point out that coaches like Bobby Petrino and Hugh Freeze, who should be banned for life from the collegiate ranks, are still getting high-profile coordinator and head coaching opportunities.

The NFL officially set its salary cap at a record high of $255.4 million for the 2024 season. With that number comes the difficult task of cap clearing.

New York Jets' options for Aaron Rodgers' backup/Zach Wilson replacement
The New York Jets have a ton of areas of weakness heading into the 2024 offseason, but one of their more under-appreciated needs coming up is a backup quarterback.

With Russell Wilson on the outs in Denver, could QB-needy Pittsburgh be his next destination?
The past few years have been less than ideal in the football life of Russell Wilson. After a Hall of Fame career in Seattle, Wilson finished out his time there with a whimper.

The NFL keeps giving us ‘all-access’ content that lacks access
