Week 10 NFL Powerless Ranking: There's a new team at the bottom
We’re in the second half of the NFL season, and now we know who the contenders are and which teams we can write off as pretenders. We can talk about the contenders another time because this list is about the least fortunate teams in the league. So, let’s check out the worst of the worst from Week 10...
Move over Jeremy Lin, Mike White’s Jets jersey is fastest headed to discount rack
This Mike White charade is over....
Y’all must have Forgot! The Cowboys, Patriots and Chiefs sent out a stern reminder that they are for real this season
Order was mostly restored to the universe on Sunday. Following a bizarre Week 9 in which some of the best teams in the NFL lost to residents of Club .500 And Below, the top of the NFL mostly handled its business in Week 10, and some performances were quite convincing....
Aaron Rodgers returns to his cocoon
I guess it’s surprising that we didn’t find out that Aaron Rodgers was a galaxy-brained dope earlier, given all that is there to protect him from his own idiocy. We could have written his postgame press conference yesterday by memory, given how often we have heard similar after a player does somethi...
Week 10 NFL Betting Primer: Best Over/Under, Spread, Teaser and Prop Bets
Upsets have become a theme of the season after not one, not two, but three more heavy favorites were beaten a week ago. Being vigilant of apparent landmines will be crucial in sustaining a winning year....
Jon Gruden wants the last word on the NFL and Roger Goodell
We haven’t heard the last of Jon Gruden yet. The disgraced former Raiders coach is suing Roger Goodell and the NFL, alleging that the league purposely leaked his emails to major news outlets in a “malicious and orchestrated campaign” to “destroy [his] career and reputation.” In a statement released ...
Trevon Moehrig deserves more respect than what he’s getting
We are more than halfway through the NFL season, and we’re finally starting to get a grasp on which rookies are for real. On offense, after a preseason filled with skepticism, Bengals’ receiver Ja’Marr Chase has shown that we were all worried over nothing. He’s been incredible. Mac Jones has put the...
OBJ’s move to Hollywood rocks social media, but not NFL Power Rankings
Odell Beckham Jr. has joined the Los Angeles Rams....
NFL Week 10: Underdogs are rising up
If you’d asked anyone outside of Miami who was going to win the Thursday Night Football matchup between the Ravens and Dolphins, I’d assume about 95 percent of people would have said the Ravens. There was no discernible metric where the Dolphins had the advantage, but you can’t measure heart, I gues...
The AFC is terrible and they’re leading us to doom
It’s probably not fair to go in on a team for a bad performance on a Thursday night. Thursday Night Football shouldn’t exist, there isn’t enough time for teams to recover from the previous week, and for the most part something is always off. It’s a game of bumper cars where everyone’s blindfolded. B...
NFL Sunday Ticket on a streaming service? Yes... PLEASE! 🙏
The dream may finally soon become a reality: NFL Sunday Ticket accessible without a satellite dish. The Athletic reported in September that the NFL’s preferred destination for Sunday Ticket is Apple, but this process is obviously going to be a competition with the rights going to the highest bidder....
Adam Schefter wows us once again with his journalistic integrity
The NFL-Adam Schefter Pipeline hit another kink yesterday when the ESPN insider reported on a tip from Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook’s agent, alleging that Cook was a victim of domestic violence and extortion. Just a few hours later, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported that Cook’s forme...
Cam Newton will be playing football this season and it’s for the Panthers — who’s ready for more strange-font social media messages?!
Uh-oh! Break out the Bojangles biscuits and the Cookout trays — don’t pass on the milkshake today — because Cam Newton is once again a Panther....
Any given Thursday: No, the Ravens should just win this one
Normally I would say that this game doesn’t need to be played. We know who will win. It won’t be close, and anybody looking to get some excitement in their life from watching NFL football will be sorely disappointed in the final outcome. I’m floored that the Ravens are only 7.5-point favorites, but ...
WWE and pro wrestling have always needed a union, but will it ever happen?
Talk of unionizing professional wrestling pops up at least once a year, with it usually coming on the heels of another needless round of WWE releases due to “budget cuts” like my colleague Sam Fels wrote about regarding their most recent cuts last week....
Hey NFL, explain this to us like we’re 5: Why are y’all O.K. with Aaron Rodgers’ fine being cheaper than CeeDee Lamb’s?

On Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys laid an egg so big that it looks like the inexplicable and yearly Dak Prescott MVP discussion has gone away... for now....

It was a fine display yesterday of the cycle of white people who have never been told they’re wrong for various reasons....
An oddly specific betting trend is emerging in the NFL
Who doesn’t like earning money, huh? Everyone does. That’s why we all can use some friendly betting advice from time to time. To that end, if you’re looking just to do straight bets, there’s a new trend in NFL betting that’s been incredibly positive for some people. ...
