We aren’t too far removed from people claiming Adrian Peterson was toast. Somehow, through magic and pure talent, the running back went to the Arizona Cardinals and rediscovered what made him special during his time with the Minnesota Vikings. Thanks to his stellar play, as well a injuries ravaging the position, the Cardinals have given […]

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has a bunch of options to help him recover from his injury. Unfortunately, at least according to reports, all the options are both confusing and awful. Firstly, it is being said that Andrew Luck does not need surgery. For clarification purposes, that is at least for just right now and […]

The Green Back Packers are already down Aaron Rodgers. The team can’t really afford any other talented players missing games. And yet, here we are, with tight end Martellus Bennett considered doubtful for Green Bay’s Monday Night Football game. Bennett didn’t practice at all last week. Him being listed as doubtful heading into Monday night isn’t […]

On Sunday, the Atlanta Falcons could have probably won its game had receiver Julio Jones caught a pass from Matt Ryan in the endzone. It was an easy pass. Jones was more open than a 24/7 convenient store. Yet, he dropped it. And no one is taking it harder than Julio Jones himself. “I didn’t […]

A few iffy reports came on Sunday, claiming that the Houston Texans were kicking the tires on bringing in quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Not only were those reports quickly refuted as an iffy PR tactic by the team, but credible reporters have since said the National Football League franchise hasn’t even contacted the polarizing gunslinger. Jay Glazer, […]

The Cleveland Browns have been on the wrong side of a few jokes since the trade deadline, but there is reason for (relative) optimism. The franchise recently learned that talented, yet troubled, receiver Josh Gordon will be returning from suspension. According to reports, the team is hoping to have him back by Week 13 of […]

At some point, John Elway will have to take some blame for it, but for the time being head coach Vance Joseph is going to answer for some serious issues. Those issues? The Denver Broncos are currently operating in the National Football League without a competent quarterback behind center. On Sunday, the Broncos got smoked […]

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is having an MVP caliber season. Not too shabby for a player in only his second season of National Football League action. As neat as his stellar player is that Carson Wentz is also setting franchise records. Through nine games this season, he has done something no Eagles quarterbacks has […]

The Dallas Cowboys earned a much needed victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. That’s the good. As for the bad? Wide receiver Dez Bryant hurt his ankle in the second half. After the game, via Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News, Dez Bryant said that it was “a little sore and bruised.” While the […]

The Denver Broncos were absolutely smoked by the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. While it would be easy to point to the still a debacle of a quarterback situation Denver has as the reason why, stud linebacker Von Miller believes the issues the Broncos have are more than just one position. “We are where we are […]

People have been pointing their fingers to almost everyone, but to the guy who might be the problem. The New York Giants fan base, as well as media, might hate to admit it, yet here we are. For a variety of reasons, Eli Manning has escaped much of the criticism for the downfall of the […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston must have heard head coach Dirk Koetter’s recent talk about the losing culture the franchise is overcoming. Not because the young gunslinger is having himself a great Sunday, but due to the fact he gave one of the weirdest speeches in the history of humans uttering words. First, let’s take […]

Are you ready for your brain to start oozing from your ears? Too bad. Here it comes. According to Jay Glazer, San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch asked New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick if he would be willing to trade Tom Brady during the offseason. I repeat, and this is real: 49ers general […]

In a shocking development, the Jacksonville Jaguars have deactivated running back Leonard Fournette for Sunday. As weird as this news is, even weirder is part of the season as to why this is happened. Per ESPN’s Field Yates, the Jaguars decision to deactivate Leonard Fournette came, at least in part, because the running back missed […]

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is the king of using specific situations, ideology, and phrases to his benefit. That is, you know, when it is only to his benefit. Despite the entire Greg Hardy situation, in which Dallas was the only team willing to take him on, Jerry Jones is claiming he — and the […]

Time to raise some eyebrows. Less than a week removed from trading a second-round NFL draft pick to the New England Patriots for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, it is being reported that the San Francisco 49ers might not want to keep him. Deep breath. Relax, 49ers fans. Some of this report does make some sense. At the […]

The Indianapolis Colts are without cornerback Vontae Davis this weekend. Why? Well, it depends on who you ask, as there are differing reports out there as for why the Colts will be without his services. As a preface, the National Football League franchise is saying (tweeting) one thing, while two reporters are saying another. In […]

Former Dallas Cowboys player Greg Hardy has become a bit of an afterthought for National Football League fans. Once a dominate defensive lineman, Greg Hardy has been marred by issues of his own doing, including his well-documented domestic abuse scandal. No longer employed by NFL teams, despite being given a second-chance by the Cowboys, Hardy […]

Currently on the Dallas Cowboys, defensive lineman David Irving began his career playing for Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs. With the talented player moving on to Dallas, it has given the coach time to reflect on the player. After doing that, he is incredibly happy David Irving has found success. “I’m happy for […]

The Denver Broncos drafted former Michigan Wolverines talent Jake Butt in the hopes he would add some dynamic play at the tight end position. However, the rookie has been dealing with an injury he acquired during his collegiate career, and now the young man is acknowledging that he’s having a hard time overcoming it. “It’s […]

Cincinnati Bengals backup quarterback AJ McCarron was nearly traded to the Cleveland Browns at the deadline. Thanks to some ineptness by the Browns, he remained with the Bengals. Now, however, he has reportedly filed a grievance against Cincinnati, in the hopes it will result in him becoming an unrestricted free-agent at the season’s end. This […]

With Deshaun Watson gone the way of the dinosaurs, it would be easy to project the Houston Texans to fall off a cliff for the remainder of the season. Houston coach Bill O’Brien, however, claims we should wait a minute before writing them off. “It’s a very resilient bunch of guys, great veteran leadership in […]

In news you probably weren’t expecting to read today, Batman is helping the Pittsburgh Steelers stay in shape. OK. This is a “well, kind of” situation. We’re not talking about Batman in a literal sense. Michael Keaton or Christian Bale (or any of the other Batmans that are bad) are not traveling to Pittsburgh to […]

The National Football League is going to be a worse place this season without Deshaun Watson in it. The electric rookie quarterback of the Houston Texans is out for the season after tearing his ACL in practice. You likely know this, as the entire league sent out condolences to the kid and many fans are […]

So you’re saying there’s a chance? Injured Green Bay Packers superstar Aaron Rodgers is presumed out for the remainder of the season. However, the veteran gunslinger is out in the world talking about what it would take to return this season. For what it is worth, don’t get too excited yet. “The only reason to […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars have real playoff aspirations this season. While this is largely due to the defensive side of the ball, all involved know the offense does need to hold up its end of the bargain. Oh, hello there, Leonard Fournette. Leonard Fournette, who has been dealing with an injury, has been removed from the team’s […]

Poor Joe Flacco. The Baltimore Ravens gunslinger has spent his time being injured being used as a talking-point for those who want to talk about quarterbacks who don’t slide early enough. Also, poor Joe Flacco for not being as “elite” as he once supposedly was. Anyway, following what many considered a dirty hit, in which […]

It is not lost on San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan that newly acquired gunslinger Jimmy Garoppolo has rock star like qualities. After landing the talent for a second-round pick, people are already considering the marriage between Jimmy Garoppolo and Kyle Shanahan a good one. The latter is a supposed quarterback-whisper and the former is highly thought of. […]

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy isn’t one to mince words. A veteran talent, with still electric playmaking ability, doesn’t mind giving credit where it is due either. Following Buffalo’s loss to the New York Jets, LeSean McCoy reflected on the entire debacle. Somewhat surprisingly, his take on the game was pretty even. “They played good,” McCoy […]

Miami traded its most productive running back to the Philadelphia Eagles, but the Dolphins aren’t too concerned about filling that void. After trading Jay Ajayi to the Eagles for only a fourth-round pick, the Dolphins are making it clear that they will be fine. This is despite the fact that the two running backs who will try […]

Houston Texans quarterback Tom Savage has become self-aware. The original starter for the Texans, turned backup much to the dismay of his agent, has some interesting thoughts on replacing the injured Deshaun Watson. “You can’t replace Deshaun Watson,” Savage said, via Jeff Darlington of ESPN. “The kid has been playing absolutely lights out. My job is to […]

From the category of news you will only see once department, at least reportedly, Detroit Lions punter Sam Martin was injured in a mysterious conch shell incident. According to Justin Rogers of the Detroit News, two sources said the mysterious injury was caused when Martin either stepped on or dropped a conch shell on his foot. For clarification, […]

The Houston Texans had plenty of options to help fill the void left in the wake of Deshaun Watson tearing his ACL. If you had TJ Yates as a player who would help do just that, you win a prize. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Texans are signing TJ Yates in the wake […]

The drama is never going to end, is it? And, like, I mean never. According to a new report that surfaced Friday morning, Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott will play this weekend. For what it is worth, this goes against nearly everything that has been reported this week. Ezekiel Elliott is back for this week. […]

The Minnesota Vikings have been going through a quarterback carousel situation for a few seasons now. Luckily for the National Football League franchise, talents like Stefon Diggs say none of that actually matters. By way of Pro Football Talk Live: “It’s not something we talk about or even think about in the receiver room,” Diggs […]

Noted bully and current Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Richie Incognito is about to add a redeeming quality to his repertoire. The talented lineman joins many fans who believe Thursday night football is both a debacle and an event that creates unneeded chaos. Asked about Thursday games, Incognito said (via ESPN.com), “They suck.” “They throw a wrench […]

This is likely a news post no one ever believed they would be reading, but here we are. New England Patriots quarterback, and certain Hall of Fame player, Tom Brady believes he can learn a few things from journeyman gunslinger Brian Hoyer. Yes. You read that correctly. “It’s fun talking football with him, even in […]

The Cleveland Browns have officially hit the dumpster fire mode of its season. Then again, to be fair, it hasn’t ever really left that mode since returning to the National Football League. Anyway, following a non-trade with the Cincinnati Bengals, which has resulted in the NFL and its fans giggling at the franchise, leaks are […]

The Andrew Luck drama is finally over, although, Indianapolis Colts fans would probably prefer if the ending were slightly less horrific. Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is officially done for the season, as the National Football League franchise put him on the injured reserve list. The Colts announced on Thursday that Luck is going on […]
