Green Bay Packers rookie running back Aaron Jones recently made the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Six days before his first National Football League start, he was arrested for charges of speeding, driving without a valid license and operating a vehicle with a controlled substance in his system. He has since pleaded not guilty. While […]

Denver Broncos quarterback Paxton Lynch might look like a sky pirate, but he’s now the starter for the famed National Football League franchise. With that being so, repercussions are now being had with the depth chart. Despite looking like a Twilight actor, as well as the last starting at QB for Denver, Brock Osweiler’s stock is […]

Jimmy Garoppolo not yet playing for the San Francisco 49ers might seem strange since the franchise traded a second round pick for him, but John Lynch isn’t in a huge hurry to receive a return on investment from the deal. “With all our players, we want to set them up for success,” Lynch said, via Eric Branch […]

Vance Joseph is in his first season as a head coach in the National Football League. Despite his Denver Broncos clearly regressing this season, he’s managed to escape a large portion of the accountability. Instead, as the Broncos fired him on Monday, it had been offensive coordinator Mike McCoy playing the role of scapegoat. According […]

Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins has a lot on the line this season. He is basically playing for a potential huge future paycheck. It is why, at least somewhat, it is understandable that he’s losing his marbles over an intentional grounding call. It’s just that, you know, he doesn’t seem to know the rule. “The […]

Chicago Bears tight end Zach Miller, who it was once believed might lose his leg, is now out of the hospital. Clearly good news for both the National Football League veteran and those who prefer their athletes not in hospital beds. Freedom!!!! Guess who’s home!?!? #DayByDay — Zach Miller (@ZMiller86) November 21, 2017 According to […]

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Mularkey wants officials held publicly accountable. The timing of this doesn’t appear to be random. To simplify what happened: The Titans forced a fumble against the Pittsburgh Steelers with less than two minutes to go in the first half. There’s a rule that is meant to prevent the offense from […]

Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid is known as a quarterback whisperer of sorts. That being said, after a great start to the season, the thing he’s most known for is biting him right in the rear. To put it more bluntly: Alex Smith hasn’t exactly been great the last few weeks. In turn, the […]

Despite failing to reach his unrealistic goal of 200 receiving yards in his debut, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook is getting praise from all the right people this week. “The one thing I’m happy with is that it’s not too big,” head coach Doug Marrone said, via the Florida Times-Union. “In other words, Westbrook came in there […]

There appears to be no huge rift within the Denver Broncos. At least not in the realm of perception. Not after Brandon Marshall went out on a limb to protect head coach Vance Joseph with some kind words. “We respect Vance whole-heartedly. We talk about it all the time,” linebacker Brandon Marshall said, via Nicki Jhabvala […]

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is not a fan of international games and volcanoes. No. You read that correctly. There’s no need to read that first sentence over again. Here is Bill Belichick on if he would want to go back to play another game outside the states: “Personally I wouldn’t be in any […]

In case you were somehow unaware, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is good at playing his position in the National Football League. That being said, he’s been on the wrong end of some jokes due to Atlanta collapsing against the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl. On Monday night, with a lead over the […]

If you thought we would be talking about Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill this season, you have great wisdom inside that cranium of yours. If you thought we would be doing this in terms of his kicking ability, then you need to tell me what numbers to play for the lottery. Anyway, over the weekend […]

The New Orleans Saints came back from 15 points down in the final six minutes of its game against the Washington Redskins to eventually sneak out a victory in overtime. According to Redskins safety DJ Swearinger, this could have been avoided had the team played the full game. “I feel like guys didn’t understand the NFL,” Swearinger […]

Only a few hours removed from leaks suggesting he’d be the fall guy, the Denver Broncos have fired offensive coordinator Mike McCoy. This is also after the Broncos lost to an objectively ho-hum Cincinnati Bengals team on Sunday. Quarterbacks coach Bill Musgrave was promoted to offensive coordinator to take his place. Considering Denver’s biggest issue […]

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson is finally giving in to an idea he should have started the season with. After Sunday’s loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the embattled head coach said that rookie DeShone Kizer will play out the remainder of the season as the starting quarterback. “Where we are right now, I need to […]

Ben McAdoo used Sunday’s win to push a narrative. Maybe you will agree with him or maybe you won’t. But according to the New York Giants head coach, that team we saw on Sunday win only its second game of the season, was the “real” New York Giants. “Feelings don’t have anything to do with it. […]

The Minnesota Vikings are good. This is somewhat surprising because the National Football League franchise goes through quarterbacks like a human goes through underwear. According to current starter, Case Keenum, the Vikings no longer need to worry about such issues. Following yet another win, this time against a good Los Angeles Rams team, Case Keenum […]

Cincinnati Bengals defensive back Dre Kirkpatrick played well against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Despite that, as well as a victory, he fears he might end up a meme before the week is over. Dre Kirkpatrick accomplished a rather weird feat on Sunday. He intercepted a football, ran for 100 yards and then — through […]

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Leonard Fournette, who has already missed time due to injury, is saying his ankle issue will likely be something that bothers him for the remainder of the season. Following yet another Jacksonville win on Sunday, this time against the awful Cleveland Browns, Leonard Fournette discussed the entire situation. “The best […]

Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Mitch Trubisky isn’t making excuses for a rough first National Football League campaign, but he has found a silver lining in his otherwise gloomy cloud. After a solid, yet unspectacular performance on Sunday in which the Bears mostly lost because of some woeful kicking, Trubisky isn’t letting it get him down. […]

Denver Broncos defensive standout Von Miller isn’t exactly thrilled with John Elway calling the team soft, but he does understand why the former quarterback would feel that way. Per 2017 law, the Broncos lost (again) on Sunday. This time it was against the Cincinnati Bengals. Afterward, Von Miller addressed the softness topic. “He’s the head guy. […]

Buffalo Bills quarterback Nathan Peterman played historically awful on Sunday. In his National Football League debut, as the man tasked with replacing super-talented Tyrod Taylor, went 6-of-14 for 66 yards and five interceptions. That’s right. He had six completions to five interceptions. That’s not ideal. Especially not when you consider that Taylor only had tossed […]

Case Keenum is making it hard for the Minnesota Vikings to go back to Teddy Bridgewater. That’s not conjecture, either. That’s the line of thinking from head coach Mike Zimmer, who discussed that issue after the team’s victory on Sunday. “It’s going to be hard to yank him out of there right now,” Zimmer said of […]

Donald Trump is not really letting people stick to sports. While he’s most famously in the sports-related news for calling LaVar Ball ungrateful for not being thankful enough, he’s also had time to chime in on Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch. On Sunday, Marshawn Lynch sat during the national anthem prior to the Raiders […]

The issues the Denver Broncos face are many. Inept quarterback play, a first-year head coach in Vance Joseph needing to adjust, a defense aging quickly, and so much more. Few have, however, considered Mike McCoy the problem. That is until now. As John Elway claims his players to have gotten soft, with Brandon Marshall saying […]

Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall wasn’t a fan of John Elway saying that the team being soft is part of the problem. Instead of questioning players’ work ethic or ability to tough things out, Marshall believes it is something far more simple and drastically less nefarious. “We just stopped executing,” Marshall said, via Altitude TV’s Vic Lombardi. […]

Tyler Eifert has had his season be over for some time now. The Cincinnati Bengals talented tight end had back surgery in October. Since then, he’s been using his time to address other medical issues. Dan Graziano of ESPN reports that Eifert had surgery to remove a cyst from his knee. Eifert had knee trouble over the […]

Some unfortunate news for the Atlanta Falcons. As the team heads to Seattle to face the Seahawks, it will have to do so without the services of running back Devonta Freeman. The talented running back as been officially been ruled out for the Monday Night Football game. For context on how big a loss this […]

It was reported on Friday that Seattle Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor was going the way of the dinosaurs. That his injury would sideline him for the remainder of the season. Now, however, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll says the team hasn’t decided what to do with him yet. “We’re still looking at what our options […]

Formerly a teammate of Jameis Winston, Philadelphia Eagles talent Ronald Darby is claiming the sexual harassment allegations against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback are not true. For those unaware, an Uber drive claims Jameis Winston sexually assaulted her in 2016. “I felt the need to come forward and clarify some inaccurate accounts of the evening of March […]

The Green Bay Packers love talking about Martellus Bennett. Now with the New England Patriots, the former Packers tight end has heard several former teammates call into question his motivations. However, Martellus Bennett didn’t have to deal with the fury of Ha Ha Clinton-Dix … until now. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is more than just an […]

Some pretty good news coming out of the Baltimore Ravens camp. The National Football League franchise will finally have the services of running back Danny Woodhead at its disposal. For clarity purposes, the Ravens activated Danny Woodhead to the 53-man roster on Saturday. While that doesn’t guarantee anything, it does seem likely he will be […]

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is in the media for a reason other than just fighting with owners this week. A video surfaced of him making some incredibly insensitive racial comments. A video was given to The Blast that featured Jones making a racially insensitive comment at a Dallas hotel in 2013. A Cowboys fan asked him […]

Some really unfortunate reports coming out of the Seattle Seahawks National Football League franchise. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network is reporting that Kam Chancellor has been to multiple doctors for an examination of the neck injury he suffered last week against the Arizona Cardinals. The aftermath of those visits? Kam Chancellor is done for the season. […]

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Mularkey is really angry over how the media covers quarterback Marcus Mariota. He claims that the media is only focusing on the bad stuff and not all the great he does. “Nobody ever talks about how accurate [Mariota] is with some of the throws that he does make,” Mularkey said. “All […]

It has been reported that some owners believe Jerry Jones is hurting the National Football League. That, the Dallas Cowboys owner is looking out for himself to the point of it being detrimental to the league. According to Jerry Jones, this is malarkey. He cares deeply for the well being of the National Football League. […]

Seattle Seahawks defensive standout Sheldon Richardson is the opposite of happy at the moment. The big man is adamant his hit on Drew Stanton was not illegal, calling the NFL fine he received for it “extortion.” That’s right. Sheldon Richardson believes the National Football League is extorting him. “It’s kind of just extortion really,’’ Richardson said Friday, via […]

There are plenty of different theories for the fall of the Denver Broncos. Some would say the defense got old real fast. Others would point to the inept play at the quarterback position. According to John Elway, however, it could be some of that, but it is mostly about some cliched line that questions the […]
