Brock Purdy still lives like a backup quarterback

Brock Purdy appears to be a frugal man. As the final pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, I do not blame him. Careers for the player selected in that spot tend to not last long, and he had the expensive pleasure of being drafted by a team in California. The San Francisco 49ers play and practice in Santa Clar...

Trey Lance ends up behind Mr. Irrelevant, Jets draft bust on 49ers depth chart

Kyle Shanahan has been watching Trey Lance practice for three years. He knows a great deal more about the young man than I ever will.

Gifting Broncos fans with tickets is a good way for Russell Wilson to get back on the city’s good side

The 2022 NFL season was a forgettable one for Denver Broncos fans and one they’d love to tuck away and pretend never happened.

How’d giving away garbage bags full of draft picks work out for these NFL teams?

The NFL Draft is easily the second-most important event on the league’s annual calendar, with most teams that privately know they won’t be close to winning the Super Bowl prepping for the three-day event.

Ex-Gators QB Anthony Richardson deserves all the pre-draft hype he's getting

It seems like with every mock draft, pundits’ opinions of certain prospects change. For practically the entirety of the 2022 NFL and college football seasons, the consensus top-three quarterbacks in the 2023 class were Alabama’s Bryce Young, Kentucky’s Will Levis, and Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud. Flori...

The New York Jets made history — and not the wrong kind for once

The NFL announced its end-of-the-season awards Thursday night, and the list of recipients was largely predictable.

How haters should remember Tom Brady in retirement

Thomas Edward Patrick Brady, Jr. will forever be known as one of, if not the greatest quarterbacks of all time. After 23 years with New England and Tampa Bay, the three-time MVP and seven-time Super Bowl champion is hanging up his cleats, and unlike last year, I actually believe him this time....
