It’s easy to get lost and spin out with the amount of bad news every day, so you have to take the nuggets of light where you can find them.

Who is wearing the NFL's lowest numbers?

The Bucs can’t help themselves
Perhaps it’s the feeling of invincibility an organization gets when it’s won a Super Bowl. The afterglow, as fresh as it is, probably doesn’t lead to a lot of scrutiny from within. Fuck, the Astros did it, even before they won a World Series, and then a couple years later didn’t see a problem pickin...

The Padres’ problem isn’t their manager or attitude
The Padres were the story of the weekend, as the implosion of a team that was most people’s second favorite tends to be.

New York Jets rookie quarterback Zach Wilson had his “Welcome to the NFL” moment in Week 2 against the New England Patriots.

Why in the name of all that’s holy are the Lions playing on MNF?
After an instant classic in Week 1 on Monday Night Football, the Week 2 matchup of Green Bay and Detroit is sure to be a letdown by comparison. Well, that is, for anyone who isn’t a Packers fan.
