The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have waived Deji Olatoye. That’s the sad news. The good is that it was done to promote Hard Knocks star Riley Bullough to the active roster. Let’s discuss the released talent first. Olatoye played in only three games for Tampa bay. He played 51 special teams snaps, but no defensive snaps. […]

The San Francisco 49ers have signed journeyman wide receiver Max McCaffrey off the Green Bay Packers practice squad. A relatively interesting development, as there is a direct link with the player to the National Football League franchise. Let’s get some semantics out of the way first. It was first reported by Tom Pelissero, of the NFL […]

In light of the controversy surrounding Bill O’Brien over his handling of an unconscious player, Houston Texans quarterback Tom Savage backs his head coach. This is a big deal, as Tom Savage is the literally the player people are trying to go after Bill O’Brien over. https://twitter.com/TomSavage03/status/940296994966433797 For what it is worth, however Savage feels […]

The Carolina Panthers have now also officially given up on kicker Robert Aguayo, as the National Football League franchise has cut the former second-round draft pick. This continues the rather dramatic fall from grace for the former Florida State Seminoles standout. Coming out of college, Robert Aguayo was presumed to be such a great prospect […]

Interim New York Giants coach Steve Spagnuolo is none too pleased with Eli Apple. Not due to some lackluster play on the field, but because the cornerback was a little too active on Twitter while he was inactive during last Sunday’s game. A little sample of Eli Apple tweeting while the Giants were playing: I’m […]

For the Green Bay Packers, Christmas came a little early, as Aaron Rodgers announced that he will be returning to the team. He did so, per 2017 law, on social media. Rodgers said on his Instagram, “It’s been a long road from that day to this, but I’m happy to say I’ve been medically cleared […]

Despite having good reason to dislike celebrations at the moment, Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph says he won’t prevent players from having fun when the time calls for it. For those who are unaware of why Vance Joseph might be anti-celebrations, Broncos safety Justin Simmons hurt himself during a celebratory routine. While it wasn’t […]

The Kansas Chiefs were without cornerback Marcus Peters when Andy Reid and company broke their losing streak on Sunday. That’s the good news. And yet, there’s even some more good coming. Despite Marcus Peters having a relatively iffy season (for his standards), the Chiefs could desperately use his sort of talent on the field. Unfortunately, […]

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jarvis Landry took a shot at the New England Patriots in a touchdown celebration during his team’s victory. Well, at least that is what we believe with our eyes.

Oakland Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio is sick of the team playing it safe. Instead of playing football cautiously, he prefer the Raiders to go out each Sunday with their collective hair on fire. Figuratively speaking, of course. “I think that there have been many examples throughout the season where we have not played boldly to […]

Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano says a bunch of words with no meaning after being asked about his job security.

You know that. We’re all on one-day […]

To put it bluntly, Gordon said Randall couldn’t hold […]

Exactly how many players were suspended for Seattle Seahawks and Jacksonville Jaguars fight from over the weekend? The answer is incredibly odd, as the total number of guys the National Football League has decided should sit is zero. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media is the person reporting this to be the case. From the #Aftermath: […]

Despite having a real Super Bowl chance, with quarterback Carson Wentz done for the season, the Philadelphia Eagles have shown zero interest in Colin Kaepernick.

As reports begin to state new Cleveland Browns general manager isn’t against the firing of Hue Jackson, the coach has since come out to dismiss that sort of possibility. Basically, at least according to Hue Jackson, John Dorsey will do no such thing. And yet, according to people in league circles, it is the strong belief […]

Not only did the Buffalo Bills have to play the Indianapolis Colts in a blizzard, but eventually the National Football League franchise found emergency quarterback Joe Webb behind center. It went as well as you would expect. To be fair to the Bills, Webb, and the Colts for that matter, the conditions for that game […]

Seattle Seahawks safety Earl Thomas appears upset following the team’s loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

The National Football League will review the late-game tomfoolery that happened when the Jacksonville Jaguars faced the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

That’s one thing. […]

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota, who hasn’t exactly set the world on fire this season, admits that he needs to be better. Well, ugh, yeah!

Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews had a huge game on Sunday, but it was what he did with a Cleveland Browns uniform after the team’s victory that will have everyone talking. In Green Bay’s overtime victory against the hapless Cleveland franchise on Sunday, Clay Matthews recorded three sacks. Pretty awesome for the Thor-lookalike. Following […]

During the team’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Rams defensive back Kayvon Webster tore his ACL. This is clearly a huge blow for Los Angeles.

Despite being told differently, there’s a belief that new Cleveland Browns general manager John Dorsey might fight coach Hue Jackson when the season is over.

The National Football League admits that it assigned a former Atlanta Falcons player as an official in the team’s game against the New Orleans Saints. Phil McKinnely, who served as the down judge for the Saints-Falcons game, spent five years with the Falcons, from 1976 through 1980. This isn’t a great look, as Saints coach Sean […]
