The Legendary Jim Brown Has Passed Away
I can’t believe we lost another sports icon during this calendar sports season. Legendary Cleveland Browns running back, Hollywood actor, and Civil Rights leader Jim Brown has sadly passed away a few days ago at the age of 87. The sports and NFL world really is a hollower place without Jim Brown. As many have
The NFL Draft Had Some…Interesting Choices
Sometimes I wonder how these GM’s and executives get into powerful positions on these teams. The NFL Draft was as needlessly long, tedious, and boring as one could have expected, but even still, some of the moves these teams made were questionable to say the least. I just don’t understand why teams feel the need
This Ravens Offseason Makes Absolutely NO SENSE!
What is going on in Baltimore? The Baltimore Ravens have just signed WR Odell Beckham Jr. to a 1-year, $18M deal…even though their superstar QB Lamar Jackson is without a contract and has demanded a trade. It looks like the Ravens have gotten their priorities backwards this offseason. Not only have they signed an injury-prone,
Lamar Jackson Has Officially ASKED FOR A TRADE From Baltimore…
The end of the Jackson era in Baltimore is upon us. Lamar Jackson has made it loud and clear that he wants out of Baltimore as he announced on his Twitter account he asked to be traded at the start of the month. The Ravens and GM Eric DeCosta are going to rue mucking up
What Is Going On With Lamar Jackson?!?!?
This situation gets stranger by the week. The NFL has now put out a memo warning team against negotiating with some mysterious man/agent on behalf of Lamar Jackson, further making this contract saga weirder. I can’t think of the last time there has been such a strenuous, weird, and drawn-out contract negotiation saga since the
Are The NFL Owners Actually Conspiring Against Lamar Jackson?
I’m not one to believe in conspiracy theories at the drop of a hat, but this might have some truth to it. Despite being a restricted free agent, Lamar Jackson has been weirdly and vocally ostracized and rejected by most of the NFL teams without starting-caliber quarterbacks. Like I said, I really don’t want to
Ravens Have Made A Huge Mistake By Non-Exclusive Tagging Jackson
The die has been cast in Baltimore. The Baltimore Ravens have made one of the franchises biggest mistakes by non-exclusive franchise tagging Lamar Jackson, leaving the door open for other teams to negotiate with him. Are the Ravens allergic to franchise quarterbacks? I know this team has had monumental success in the last 25 years
The Ravens Have A Dangerous Storm Brewing Beneath The Surface…
What has happened to this once proud, respected franchise. The Baltimore Ravens have had a whirlwind offseason as both past and current players have come out and criticized management in the midst of Lamar Jackson’s contract dispute. What happened to the days when the Baltimore Ravens were the most coordinated, tight-lipped, and professional organization in
Are The Ravens Really Jeopardizing Relationship With Jackson Over Guaranteed Money?
Baltimore can’t be this stupid, can they? The Baltimore Ravens have yet to agree to a long-term deal with their franchise quarterback, Lamar Jackson, as the dreaded franchise tag window opens today. This negotiation might go down as the classic example of what not to do when you need to resign your franchise quarterback. Despite
THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS ARE SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS, Beat Eagles 38-35…Controversially
You just can’t have a high-profile NFL game without some blatant refereeing controversy these days, can you? The Kansas City Chiefs came back from a 10-point halftime deficit to defeat the Eagles to win their 3rd Super Bowl in franchise history, though many say controversially. What a fantastic game that was unjustly mired by controversy
NFL 2023 Hall Of Fame Class Gets Headlined By ABSOLUTE LEGENDS
This is a really solid Hall of Fame class. The NFL 2023 Hall of Fame class inducted of some of the greatest players of the 2000’s and 2010’s, such as DeMarcus Ware, Darelle Revis, Joe Thomas, Ronde Barber, and Zach Thomas. It’s kind of funny seeing some of the players I grew up watching now
Patrick Mahomes RIGHTFULLY Won The NFL MVP Award
He was the only logical pick. Patrick Mahomes officially took home his second NFL MVP award yesterday for another outstanding regular season, further cementing his legacy as the best QB in the league today. Can the Burrow vs. Mahomes debate finally be put to rest for at least the next six months? Please? I like
The NFL Pro Bowl Was Just How I Thought It Was Going To Be…
You know, this should just be cancelled at this point. The NFL Pro Bowl has just wrapped up and it was as boring and nonsensical as everyone expected, fittingly capping off one of the worst active Pro Bowl rosters ever. I hate being so negative and critical, but the NFL and the minds behind the
The NFL Pro Bowl SUCKS!!!
Why is this even a thing anymore if both the league and players treat it like a chore? Despite bringing out all the star power the NFL could muster, the Pro Bowl has divulged into a boring, repulsive abomination of what once was a yearly celebration of greatness. If the NFL is intent on turning
CHIEFS ADVANCE TO THE SUPER BOWL, Outlast Bengals 23-20
WHAT. A. GAME! The Kansas City Chiefs finally got their revenge against the Cincinnati Bengals as Patrick Mahomes performed his magic once again to send his Chiefs to their third Super Bowl in five years. There can be no doubt now: Patrick Mahomes is the very best quarterback in the NFL. To do what he
The Bengals Really Are Putting Out A Lot Of Bulletin Board Material For The Chiefs…
Travis Kelce is 100% right when he says the Bengals are acting really arrogant. The Cincinnati Bengals are coming into the AFC Championship game against the Chiefs with a lot of confidence as some of the players have said some cocky things. Can you really blame the Bengals for being this confident and assured before
Bengals DESTROY Bills In Their Own Backyard, Will Face KC In AFC Championship
Nothing can faze Joe “Cool” Burrow and his Cincinnati Bengals. In the biggest shock of the weekend, the Cincinnati Bengals completely and thoroughly decimated the Bills in Orchard Park 27-10 to move on to face the KC Chiefs in the AFC Championship game. This has to be the biggest shock of the playoffs to date. Despite playing
Bengals Overcame Lamar-Less Ravens 24-17, Advance To Divisionals
That was a lot closer than it really should have been. The Bengals kept their Super Bowl hopes alive as they beat their archfoe Baltimore Ravens 24-17 in a harrowing, nail-biting game that came down to the final play. Again, another divisional playoff game that was far closer than it should have been on paper.
Lamar Jackson Is Official OUT For Ravens Vs. Bengals Wild Card Game
This is a huge blow for Baltimore. Lamar Jackson has officially been ruled out for the Ravens Wild Card game against the Cincinnati Bengals, potentially leaving the team with a rookie third string QB as the only healthy starter. This is now the second AFC Wild Card game that has all but been finished before
This Ravens-Lamar Jackson Issue Is Getting Complicated With Roquan Smith Contract
Is Baltimore really willing to let their franchise QB walk for absolutely nothing?!? The Baltimore Ravens have made some huge news before the playoffs as they have signed their franchise player…Roquan Smith to a 5-year, $100M deal, leaving Lamar Jackson still without a contract. Okay, this situation in Baltimore really is now getting out of
Browns Are The League’s Clown Show Once Again…And Jadeveon Clowney Proved It
Does this organization ever stop shooting itself in the foot? The Cleveland Browns have suspended DE Jadeveon Clowney for the team’s final game of the season as he accused the team of favoring Myles Garrett over him, showing that the Browns are still a joke. How hard is it to actual run a competent franchise
AFC Playoffs Rule Changes Are Kind Of Dumb…And Against The Rules!
Couldn’t the NFL have come up with a better solution to this problem? The NFL league office and the 32 owners have voted and confirmed that the AFC Playoffs will undergo massive, unprecedented changes in the wake of the Damar Hamlin incident, though these changes are rather dumb. So, the entire rule system is just
Where Does The NFL Go From Here?
This will go down as one of the most trying times in NFL history. In light of the horrible tragedy that occurred to Bills safety Damar Hamlin, Roger Goodell, the league office, and the NFL itself is facing an unprecedented challenge of scheduling and player safety as the league season whines to a close. I’m
Bills Vs Bengals: Pray For Damar Hamlin
What a horrific, horrible tragedy that could have been so much worse without the heroics of the medical personnel, staff, players, etc. In perhaps the most traumatic event in NFL history, Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest after a hit in the middle of the field, resulting in the suspension of the game.
Kenny Pickett And The Steelers Have Done It Again, Win 16-13 Over Ravens With Late TD
It’s never simple with these Steelers. The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to win boring, defensive slugfest with a late score as Kenny Pickett drove his side down the field in and into the endzone in under a minute to keep their small playoff hopes alive. Mike Tomlin must have some sort of magic ward or charm
Steelers Honor Franco Harris In The Most 70’s Way Possible
That game was definitely a tribute to Franco and his 1970s Steelers. The Pittsburgh Steelers honored the late Franco Harris and his 197 Immaculate Reception with a last-second comeback victory over the Raiders. If you are a fan of high-scoring, fast-paced football, then last night’s game was not for you. It was one of the
Patriots Misery Continues, Lose 22-18 To Bengals Despite Late Rally
And New England’s chances of making the playoffs are over. The New England Patriots nearly pulled off one of the best comebacks they’ve had since Brady left but fell short right at the end to lose 22-18 to the Bengals and seal their playoff fate. It’s always the same issue with the Patriots, though today
The $14B Partnership The NFL Now Has With Google And YouTube Is Actually Genius
Say what you want about Roger Goodell and the league office, but they sure know how to make money. The NFL has announced that it will partner with Google to bring Sunday Ticket, the NFL’s streaming service, to YouTube in a 7-year, $14B deal. Unlike so many of the other streaming services of the companies
NFL Legend Franco Harris Has Passed Away
This is such tragic news in light of the historical significance this week brings. NFL and Pittsburgh Steelers legend Franco Harris has sadly passed away just days before he was going to be honored for the 50th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception.at this week brings. This is supremely tragic. Of course, the death of anyone,
Bengals OWN Chiefs Again, Win 27-24
This rivalry is becoming really lopsided. Joe Burrow and the Cincinatti Bengals have won their third game in a row against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs as they won a 27-24 shootout, pushing them closer in the AFC North division title race. If any team can lay claim to the title of ‘Owning
Deshaun Watson Is Back…
The league’s boogeyman for many has finally returned. Deshaun Watson has finally returned to the Cleveland Browns starting lineup as his 11-game suspension has expired, allowing him to suit up against the Texans this weekend. What a game this will be. The Cleveland Browns facing off against the Houston Texans would normally be about as
Browns Break Brady And Bucs Resolve, Win 23-17 In OT
The Buccaneers are an average team at best. The depleted Cleveland Browns managed to outlast Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-17 in overtime in their last game without Deshaun Watson. This game proves that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the furthest they’ve been from Super Bowl contention since they acquired Tom Brady three
Ravens Defense Smashes Saints, Wins 27-13
Could the Ravens actually be the team to top the AFC? The Baltimore Ravens cruised into the Bayou and beat the brakes off the sorry Saints, winning the game 27-13 to go 6-3 and challenge for 1st place in the AFC. So, it looks like I might have been wrong about where the road to
NFL Trade Deadline: Vikings, Dolphins, And Ravens Score Big
Finally, we get an exciting NFL trade deadline. After years of boring, uneventful trade deadlines, the 32 NFL teams decided to splash headfirst into the market with the Ravens, Dolphins, and Vikings all scoring big with huge additions to their rosters. First off, let me just thank the 32 NFL owners and GMs for at
Browns Spook Bengals 31-13 On Halloween
I guess Myles Garrett’s Vecna costume really frightened Joe Burrow and the Bengals. The Cleveland Browns continued their winning streak to 5 games against their arch-rivals, the Cincinati Bengals, as they smashed them 31-13 in a Halloween night rout. Even with all of the ESPN coverage of Myles Garrett’s impressive Halloween costume and decorations (they
Buccaneers Vs. Ravens: It’s All Going Wrong For Tampa
The Brady Empire in Tampa Bay is collapsing before our very eyes. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have lost their third game in a row, which is only happened to Tom Brady twice in his career, as the Baltimore Ravens went into Tampa Bay and smacked the Bucs 27-22. No one can doubt now that there
Dolphins Vs Steelers: Tua’s Grand Return
Tua Tagovailoa has come back in style…sort of. The Miami Dolphins have warded off the Pittsburgh Steelers and their rookie QB Kenny Pickett 16-10 in Tua Tagovailoa’s heroic return to the starting lineup. Okay, Tua Tagovailoa’s heroic return to the Miami Dolphins wasn’t really that heroic, in regard to his play. Yes, I give Tua all
It’s Zappe Time! Patriots 38, Browns 15
It’s Zappe time, New England! Rookie QB Bailey Zappe and the New England Patriots have won again as they have routed the Cleveland Browns 38-15 in their own backyard and earned Bill Belichick his 324th all-time win. There is a QB controversy brewing in New England and it’s all down to the play of the
Ravens Defense FINALLY Arrives, Beat Bengals 19-17
The Ravens defense has finally come to play for the 2022/23 NFL season. The Baltimore Ravens have defeated their divisional rivals, the Cincinatti Bengals, 19-17 as their defense dominated the Bengals offense to preserve the win. This was another classic AFC North divisional game. A tough, rugged, dirty, fierce, bone-breaking affair. It’s no wonder the
NFLPA FIRES Neurologist Doctor In Charge of Dolphins-Bengals Game
Well, it seems like there was something fishy going on with the concussion protocols after all…like we all suspected. The NFLPA has made some obvious, but still shocking, news that they have exercised their right to fire the independent neurologist doctor in charge of the Dolphins-Bengals game. Obviously, someone needed to take accountability for the
Bills Pull Off 17-Point Comeback, Down Ravens 23-20
What a comeback! Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills have pulled off an unlikely comeback as they scored 17 unanswered points AT Baltimore to beat the Ravens 23-20 and stay atop the AFC. Well, Buffalo has now proven that they not only have the ability to dominate teams, but also can overcome large deficits to
The Dolphins Have Let Tua Down…
Someone on the Dolphins medical staff should be fired for what happened last night. In one of the scariest moments I’ve ever seen in the NFL, Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa was carted off the field with a serious concussion after taking a routine sack as his injury condition was misdiagnosed after the Bills win last
The Pro Bowl Is Gone…
So long, Pro Bowl. The NFL has announced that they have officially scrapped the Pro Bowl game for this year and the years to come as it will now be replaced with skills competitions and a flag football game. Whoopie. This is such a dumb idea for the NFL to do. First off, the Pro
Lamar Jackson And His 5 TD Outing Lifts Ravens 37-26 Over Patriots
Lamar Jackson is a serious MVP candidate! Lamar Jackson and the Ravens defense led Baltimore to a crushing victory 37-26 victory over the Patriots, proving that last weekend’s collapse against Miami was just a fluke. If this game proved anything it was that this Ravens offense, led by Lamar Jackson, is legit. Again, Jackson had
Steelers Offense Misfires Once Again, Lose 29-17 To Browns
Mitchell Trubisky’s chance to stay as starting QB for the rest season is becoming more unlikely with each game. The Steelers have now lost their second game in a row as the offense once again failed to produce against a battered and broken Browns defense. Yeah, I think we’re all seeing why Mitchell Trubisky was
Rush To The Rescue! Dallas Staves Off Bengals Comeback, Win 20-17
Rush to the rescue indeed. Cooper Rush light up the Bengals defense early on as the Dallas Cowboys staved off the Bengals by winning 20-17 and picking up their first win of the season. I never thought I’d be saying these words: Cooper Rush outdueled Joe Burrow at quarterback in a professional NFL game. It
Tua Vs Lamar, Miami Survives Shootout 42-38 Over Baltimore
What a game! The Miami Dolphins, led by the arm of Tua Tagovailoa, came back from a 21-point deficit over the Lamar Jackson and the Ravens to win 42-38 and improve to 2-0. If you’re a huge fan of the old NFL when defense ruled the day, this game was definitely not for you. Lamar
The Revenge Of Bill Belichick, Patriots Win 17-14 Over Steelers
Well, Bill Belichick must have taken that Dolphins loss to heart. The Patriots overcame a terrible start by going into Pittsburgh and beating the Steelers 17-14, overcoming all of the doubters and bets against them. The Patriots really made this win more difficult than it should have been. Mac Jones and the Patriots offenses was
INCREDIBLE Season Opener In Cincinnati, Steelers Beat Bengals 23-20 In OT
This was one of the craziest and wackiest season openers ever. The Pittsburgh Steelers somehow overcame the many, many kicking errors this game had to offer as they beat the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 in the dying seconds of OT. The injury bug hit this game HARD. Every one of Cincinnati’s wide receivers, apart from Jamar
Mitchell Trubisky Is Named Steelers Starting QB
Not much a surprise here. Mike Tomlin and the Steelers have made their decision: Mitchell Trubisky is going to be the starting QB for Week 1 against the Bengals, despite rookie Kenny Pickett’s excellent preseason. This was the Steelers plan all along. Why else would the Steelers have signed Trubisky to a two year, $14M
NFL Cuts Day: Gordon, Leatherwood, And Howard Headline Surprising Batch Of Cut Players
With the NFL season just around the corner, that can only mean one thing: heads need to roll. After preseason and training camp, NFL teams have trimmed down their bloated roster to 53 players today, leading to some surprising players getting cut. Today (NFL Cut Day) must be the biggest layoff day across all American
Watson Saga Ends As NFL, NFLPA Agree On 11-Game Suspension For QB
The saga has finally reached its conclusion. After years of investigations, court filings, scandals, arguments, and judge rulings, the NFLPA and NFL have come together and agreed upon an 11-game suspension for Deshaun Watson. This saga will be remembered forever as one of, in not the, most contentious, confusing, and conflicting suspension cases in NFL
NFL Has Appealed Deshaun Watson Ruling
Was this ever in doubt? The NFL brought this case to Judge Sue Robinson in order for her to cast the 1-year suspension on Watson. When she refused, Roger Goodell and the league office needed to appeal the ruling or risk being seen as weak. This Deshaun Watson vs. NFL fiasco has become the most
Deshaun Watson Has Been Suspended…For Just 6 Games
The conclusion to Deshaun Watson’s two-year-plus long suspension case has finally been resolved by Judge Sue Robinson, the NFL’s private arbitrator in this case. She decided to rule that Watson should be suspended for the first six games of the 2022/23 season…to the great appeasement of everyone. Haha, just kidding. Everyone is in uproar (whether
The Athletic’s QB Tier List Is Just Plain Disrespectful To Lamar Jackson
The Athletic’s new QB tier rankings list, written by Mike Sando (with input from dozens of coaches and executives around the NFL), is flat out disrespectful to Lamar Jackson and his accomplishments. I don’t know how these coaches are getting paid to coach and manage defenses if they think Lamar Jackson can’t beat them with
This Deshaun Watson Situation Is About To Get Very Messy
The never-ending Deshaun Watson suspension saga has continued all throughout the summer, though it has definitely been exasperated by his trade to the Cleveland Browns and subsequent 5-year, $230M fully guaranteed contract from the team. Yet, with Waston’s camp and the NFLPA making it clear that they will take the NFL to court if the
Jason McCourty Retires, Ending One Half Of The Greatest Ever NFL Twin Duo
It is now official. One half of the McCourty Twins’ time in the NFL has at last ended with Jason McCourty announcing his retirement today. He may not have been as talented or accomplished as his brother, but don’t let that fool you into thinking he had a meaningless career. Like I said, McCourty has
Baker Mayfield FINALLY Gets Traded
The saga is over. Baker Mayfield has finally been dealt by the Cleveland Browns, ending the summer-long “will he stay-won’t he stay” narrative that has gripped the Browns up to now. Unfortunately for Baker, his desired separation from Cleveland has resulted in him being shipped off to the Carolina Panthers. I’ve got to be honest,
Watson’s Looming Suspension Should Last At Least This Year (If Not More)
There is two ways about it. After yet another (the 24th if I’m counting them all correctly, though there could be more I don’t know about yet) lawsuit filed against Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshan Watson was revealed, his looming suspension from the NFL should be for the upcoming season at a minimum. Apart from that
Steelers Make Fitzpatrick Highest Paid Safety, Still Won’t Get Them Into Playoffs Next Year
Minkah Fitzpatrick is now the highest paid safety in the NFL, and it is well deserved. In his three years with the Steelers, he has put up outstanding numbers. 260 combined tackles, 11 interceptions, 27 passes defended, 3 forced fumbles, 4 recovered fumbles, 3 tackles for a loss, and a touchdown. Oh, he also made
