Week 6 Powerless Rankings: A win for the Jags, a bad week to be a Lions fan
The 2021 NFL season is starting to pick up and we’re finally starting to get a clear picture of which teams are about that action and which teams are not.

He’s right
One of the major tenets of being a sports fan is the conflict you assume with other fandoms. By choosing your side, you actively take up distaste and antipathy for other sides automatically. The back-and-forth is supposed to be part of the fun/misery. And the way these things work, the way sports ar...
Lions social media makes season a little less agonizing for fans
At some point in life, I’m sure almost everyone has heard that saying about making the best of a bad situation. If there’s a unit right now making the most out of their current situation, it would have to be the social media department for the Detroit Lions. ...

If the NFL is serious about games in Europe, Jerry Jones and the Cowboys need to make some trips across the pond

<em>Saturday Night Live</em> piledrives the NFL for the Jon Gruden emails, and also just for being the NFL
For those who weren’t sure if former Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden should be considered the dummy of the week, Saturday Night Live made its case for him to receive that honor. In the show’s Oct. 16 cold open, the show skewered Gruden and the entire NFL for eight minutes....

Mohamed Salah is on one
I suppose being as analytic-minded as I can get that I’m going to be hypocritical here. It doesn’t help (or hurt, depending on your point of view) that I love Mohamed Salah in every sense of the word, to an extent that my vulnerability is teetering on “highly damaging.” So take that as you will....

Finally, some Ole Miss drama that doesn’t involve Lane Kiffin
Ole Miss has been a haven for fun, light-hearted drama ever since Sandra Bullock won an Academy Award for her role in The Blind Side.
