Tom Brady’s legend will last a lifetime
We’ll see when Tom Brady’s career is actually over, but his name will be part of the conversation in the NFL for decades to come. There’s plenty of room to debate about the greatest of all time, and there’s plenty of time to have that debate, but there’s no question at all that Brady leaves the game...
Mike MacDonald, Michigan exchange student, heads back to the NFL
John Harbaugh let Jim have a little Mike MacDonald — as a treat. But after a successful one-year loaner program that I have to assume is kind of like studying abroad for NFL position coaches into the weird, wonderful land of college football, MacDonald has been brought back to the Ravens as the prog...

Tom Brady walking away after 22 seasons ... or is he? [Updated]
This story has been updated....
Reid-Mahomes' run reminiscent of Belichick-Brady
It’s a remarkable reference point of consistency that the Kansas City Chiefs will host their fourth straight conference championship game Sunday, this time trying to stave off the resurgent Cincinnati Bengals en route to a third straight Super Bowl appearance. ...
The lower 28
There are 28 NFL teams not playing this weekend, which means there are 28 teams trying to figure out how to get to where they want to go: the Super Bowl. Some, naturally, have better ideas about it than others....
Kansas City has its own version of the ‘Super Bowl Shuffle’ and it’s… something
This Kansas City Chiefs team is already legendary. Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Co. led by Andy Reid, will never have to buy a plate of Jack Stack in K.C. again. I personally know way too many Chiefs fans, so it’s nice to see them not have to pretend Elvis Grbac, Alex Smith, or Trent Green were...
Gronk only pawn in game of life
When Rob Gronkowski finally decides to retire for good, he will do so as one of the greatest tight ends ever to play the game. To some, he’s already the GOAT at his position, and has been for several years at this point. Gronk, who has already retired from football once, was on TMZ recently, and the...
So where are we with Christian Pulisic?
It may feel like the USMNT’s qualification process has been going on for about 32 years. Which is what happens when you cock-up the last one and everyone has to wait eight years between World Cup appearances (hopefully). Still, it’s important to stress that the U.S., if it can manage two wins in the...
The NFL will feature three Black officials in the Super Bowl but still only has one Black coach
This week, the NFL announced their officiating crew for Super Bowl LVI, which features three Black men. On Thursday morning, there were multiple reports that the Denver Broncos were going to be the first team to fill their head coaching vacancy, as they were finalizing a deal to hire Packers offensi...
Washington’s season has been an utter disappointment
What happened to this being the breakout season for the Washington Wizards? The NBA franchise representing the America’s capital started this season 10-3, appearing to be the D.C. squad ready to bring the franchise to an elusive conference final....
Preposter-Russ!
In his inaugural season with the Los Angeles Lakers, former NBA MVP Russell Westbrook has been underwhelming to say the least. Over his last ten games, the Brodie has averaged 15.2 points per game while shooting an abysmal 36.4 percent from the field and 21.4 percent from deep....
Let both offenses touch the ball in playoff overtime
I feel like we have this conversation every other year. When a beloved team loses in overtime without their offense ever taking the field, NFL fans get divided into two extreme camps. ...
The last time these teams won...
After a thrilling weekend of walk-off field goals, two-minute drill exhibitions, and not leaving your couch for seven hours at a time, the field has narrowed down to the final four teams as we head into conference championship Sunday. We’ve got somewhat of an unexpected lineup here, with the excepti...
It’s just not the same without Tom Brady here
First things first, this is not a complaint about Rams-49ers being the matchup for the NFC Championship Game. The upsets in the Divisional Round happened fair and square, and both California teams deserve to play for a spot in the Super Bowl....
Difficult Super Bowl Trivia: Part 3
Last year’s Super Bowl, a 31-9 win for the Buccaneers over Kansas City, was the first time in five years that the Big Game was decided by two or more touchdowns. It was easy to forget a lot of what happened as soon as the game ended, but if you’re a trivia buff, you know that every moment in a Super...
Josh Allen deserved so much better
Josh Allen had a spectacular postseason. A top-tier showing in NFL history. And it’s over after two games, eight quarters away from a probable lift of the Lombardi Trophy....
Cooper Kupp is the NFL’s most valuable player — he just won’t win it because it’s a QB award like the Heisman
Since value is defined as something of “great worth,” it means that Cooper Kupp is just that — ask Rams fans. After a season in which he led the NFL in receptions (145), receiving touchdowns (16), and receiving yards (1,947) — the receiver Triple Crown — Kupp caught 9 passes for 183 yards and one to...
It almost happened again, Brady almost pulled off a second Super Bowl LI
There was no way this could happen again....
