These are the best Super Bowl QB matchups we wish got to happen
The Super Bowl is home to some of the NFL’s most iconic matchups and showcases its biggest stars.

Here are some of the head-to-he...
A look at the Super Bowl LVII injury report
Availability is the best ability. Bill Parcells’ quote is never truer than the Super Bowl’s winner take-all-stakes, which can often be decided by the healthier roster.

The best games on the NBA schedule the week of Feb. 6 — the NFL season is over, get used to it
Sunday is the season finale for NFL 2022. All that is left until post-Labor Day is free-agent signings, trades, the NFL Draft, and position battles in practice.

These are the worst Super Bowl matchups of all time
The epicenter of American sports is the Super Bowl. The biggest performance in music every year isn’t at the Grammys. It’s in between grown men in pads smashing into each other. Good luck Rihanna. And just because it’s two of the best teams in the NFL every year competing for a championship doesn’t ...
Expect the refs to throw a lot of flags during Super Bowl LVII
I don’t watch sporting events for the players or the game. Seeing incredible athletes accomplish phenomenal feats that I wouldn’t dream of doing in a billion years...nope, not for me. Rather, I watch sports because of the officials. To be so close to the action despite having none of the athletic pr...

Hating the Philadelphia Eagles only seems to make them stronger
What I’m not here to do is give the Philly fans any more reason to squawk. The Philadelphia Eagles haven’t been challenged this postseason, and are now one win away from a second Super Bowl in six years after the last title team fell apart and bounced back quicker than a SuperBall. It’s really annoy...
The Joseph Ossais are partially why we watch the NFL
Patrick Mahomes is a thief. On Sunday night, he slipped up in the pocket, darted for the first down, stepped out of bounds, and stole a win from the Cincinnati Bengals. He also put defensive end Joseph Ossai in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons....
Not adding up: There are 2 Black QBs in the Super Bowl, but only 2 Black head coaches in the NFL

For once, the NFL being America’s most popular sport worked to the NBA’s advantage
