Rams and Philadelphia Eagles have made the Super Bowl after going a...
Is Eric Bieniemy being held to an unrealistic standard?
Eric Bieniemy’s circuitous route to an NFL head coaching throne has taken him through at least 16 interviews, and the beat goes on. The coaching game of musical chairs is nearing its conclusion once again, and Bieniemy’s only coaching interview during this cycle has been with the Indianapolis Colts....

Jadeveon Clowney wants out of Cleveland — and his reason is stupid
A former No. 1 overall pick, Jadeveon Clowney has had a solid, if not underwhelming career with the Texans, Seahawks, Titans, and Browns.

Sports take workshop: Sean McVay can resuscitate Baker Mayfield’s career
Welcome to sports take workshop, where opinions are half-assed because there’s not enough evidence to fully support the spice. Today the focus is Baker Mayfield.

The Rams were allegedly circling like sharks in preparation for Jimmy Garoppolo’s release
According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Rams and Jimmy Garoppolo “had the makings of a deal” in place if the 30-year-old QB had been released by the San Francisco 49ers.

Pro Football Focus is just doing this to make people lose it
