Who’s got the best odds to walk away with NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year?

Let me start by saying that I am no betting wizard. However, when it comes to NFL rookies, I like to think that I know my shit. I have studied these players endlessly, have spent entirely too much time thinking about their landing spots and their potential impacts on the field, and have daydreamed a...

Cam Heyward thinks 2021 first-round pick Najee Harris has legs of steel

When a team drafts a running back in the first round of the NFL Draft, everyone expects him to carry a heavy workload for his new team (especially when his legs look like tree trunks), but Pittsburgh’s Cam Heyward might be expecting a little bit too much out of his new teammate, Najee Harris. ...

Happy 38th birthday to the indestructible Frank Gore, who deserves a Hall of Fame bust with a bow on it

Today, Frank Gore is another year older. At a spry (by NFL standards) 38 years old, he’s at the age when he’s outlasting quarterbacks, which is just not something running backs get to do....

Deion Sanders’ attempt to become a savior for HBCU football was always gonna fail because of his ego

There’s no “i” in team, but there’s one in Deion. It’s smack dab in the middle of the name. And that makes so much sense after you remember that Deion Sanders loves to make everything about himself. It’s never about “us” or “we,” because to him, that “i” is all that matters....

Terry Bradshaw saying Aaron Rodgers should just shut up is hilarious hypocrisy

Terry Bradshaw has had enough of the Aaron Rodgers drama in Green Bay, and the Hall of Famer believes that the solution is for the reigning NFL MVP to just shut up and play....

If Caitlyn Jenner were a Black woman running for governor of California, Brett Favre would have already said something

Racism is an easy thing to spot, especially when you have examples. And given that hating someone solely based on the color of their skin has always been a stupid premise, you can see why Brett Favre looks like a fool....

The Diversity Dozen: 12 Black NFL assistant coaches who deserve more attention

With the start of the 2021 NFL season seven months away, the conversation about the lack of Black head coaches tends to go dormant after the Super Bowl, as those potential candidates aren’t eligible to be hired for another 11 months....

Which teams went 0-4 in the Super Bowl?

The Minnesota Vikings are the super failures you never hear about (thanks a lot, Buffalo). Like the Bills, the Vikings also lost four Super Bowls — but over the course of eight years, not four....

Which players have won back-to-back Super Bowl MVPs?

It’s not Brady. It’s not Elway or Rice or Montana or Aikman either. ...

How very white of Brett Favre to blast Deshaun Watson for following his own playbook

Wednesday night, as the Olympic Channel was showing last weekend’s women’s super-G from Garmisch Partenkirchen, Germany, the commercial breaks were the standard fare for a niche sports channel, targeting the key demographic of middle-aged men....

With Pro Football Hall of Fame Voters So White, Members Call for Diversity

A deep, underground, and uniquely American fault line shifted when Minnesota police murdered George Floyd. His killing shook this country to its historically racist core. Slowly, a subsection of our country is starting to hear and contemplate what minorities have been saying all along — the institut...

Ed Reed's Pro Football Hall Of Fame Bust Deserves Its Own Hall Of Fame

The tears were already rolling down Ed Reed’s face on Saturday as he prepared to unveil his bust that would physically symbolize his enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

What It Was Like To Be Covered By Champ Bailey

I was playing in NFL Europe in the spring of 2004, eating schnitzel in Düsseldorf for the Rhein Fire, when I learned that we had traded for Champ Bailey. I had just spent the year on the Broncos practice squad and Clinton Portis was my teammate. Now Clinton was gone and we had Champ coming to town....

Q&A: Eric Dickerson On The Hall Of Fame Firestorm And Hating Those "Fuckers" At The NFL

Pro Football Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson has been making the rounds this week, ever since he spearheaded the drafting of a letter that demands better benefits for retired NFL players—at first, specifically Hall of Famers. The rollout of that letter and the fallout that has ensued has been messy, to...

Pro Football Hall Of Fame Considers Rule Change To Make Attendance Mandatory

Every sport gets the hall of fame it deserves. That’s why baseball has a bunch of old, weird prisses gatekeeping, and why hockey honored Jeremy Jacobs before Willie O’Ree, and why the Pro Football Hall of Fame loves insane, sanctimonious asshole Ray Lewis but might change its own rules because of Te...

Terrell Owens Says He’ll Skip Hall Of Fame Enshrinement And Have His Own Ceremony Later

Terrell Owens will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this August. But he won’t be there to celebrate his enshrinement....

The 2018 Pro Football Hall of Fame induction class will include some of the biggest names of the era as we learn tonight from Adam Schefter that Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Ray Lewis, Brian Urlacher, and Brian Dawkins have earned enshrinement....

We Are All T.O.

Wrong Steve Smith Nominated To Pro Football Hall Of Fame [Updated]

Steve Smith Sr. was one of the best receivers of his generation. In a long, illustrious career for both the Panthers and the Ravens, he racked up nearly 15,000 receiving yards, over 1,000 receptions, and 81 touchdowns. He was consistent, exciting, and productive for longer than almost any other NFL ...
