The Sports Nihilist: Anything but a Dallas-Philadelphia NFC title game
It’s odd how many NFL teams I hate despite not technically having an NFL team I root for. And I don’t feel like I’m in the minority on that either. Not the teamless fan part.

One and done: NFL head coaches who only lasted a season or less at the helm

IDIOT OF THE YEAR No. 8: Daniel Snyder
What a surprise. The last NFL franchise to integrate — the team named after a racial slur until 2020 — is rotten.
