Chris Christie, a political figure turned failed sports talk show host, has some thoughts on the National Football League. More accurately, on how the league handles gambling. “The hypocrisy is just so overwhelming,” Christie told Andrea Kremer of HBO’s Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel. “They say because we have the Giants and the Jets and […]

Some unfortunately news coming out of the Cleveland Browns organization. Stud rookie defensive lineman, and last draft’s No. 1 overall pick, Myles Garrett has been forced into the National Football League’s concussion protocol. This is already the second injury Myles Garrett has been forced to deal with. His first, which happened before the start of […]

Finally. A person in a position of power taking real accountability. New York Giants general manager Jerry Reese is saying, basically, if you want to point the finger for the team’s woeful start to the season, you can direct that phalange at him. “This is the roster that I put together. I’m the reason we’re 1-6,” […]

Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis was once projected to change the position forever. After a few rough years with the San Francisco 49ers, he nearly did that. As quickly as his star began to shine in the National Football League, however, it was as if the athletic dynamo vanished. And now, somehow, he is […]

When Jon Gruden isn’t busy being every unrealistic “hire” for college football fans dying for relevance, he talks about the National Football League. The former coach, now broadcaster, most recently had some interesting things to say about Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant. “Juju Smith-Schuster has played extremely well,” Gruden said on ESPN’s Mike and Mike. “And […]

The Green Bay Packers have signed wide receiver Max McCaffrey. No. Not to the big boy roster, but to the practice squad. In turn, the National Football League franchise released offensive lineman Don Barclay from injured reserve. These transactions were announced Tuesday by Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations Ted Thompson. […]

What a weird few hours for fans of the Arizona Cardinals, as a report surfaced that head coach Bruce Arians planned to retire at the end of the season, but now the coach is denying those reports on the mean streets of Twitter. The original report, per ABC15: Bruce Arians does not intend to return […]

In what appears to be one of the weirder quarterback carousels a head coach ever created, Cleveland Browns coach Hue Jackson has named rookie DeShone Kizer the starting quarterback for this weekend. The announcement came by way of the mean streets of Twitter: Hue Jackson names DeShone Kizer starting QB for Week 8 pic.twitter.com/YsRc5IkDaP — […]

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster may as well become our new president. The rookie receiver is making all the news today. We will get to some of the funnier stuff in a bit, but first some super important news. JuJu Smith-Schuster’s stolen bike has been found. Sound the alarms and start the party. Late […]

Pittsburgh Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster‏ has become a relative Internet darling. Between seeing his star rise in the pros to his exciting touchdown celebrations, the talented receiver is drawing praise from all kinds of folk. This now includes former porn actress and sports personality Mia Khalifa. Mia Khalifa, who has outed other athletes in the […]

The Philadelphia Eagles remain one of the more enjoyable National Football Leagues to watch. This is thanks in large part to quarterback Carson Wentz, who is unafraid to hurl the football down the field more than five yards at a clip. None of this is lost on Eagles head coach Doug Pederson. Pederson, who could […]

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis is apparently none-too-pleased with rookie running back Joe Mixon. After the team’s game last weekend, Joe Mixon was publicly wondering why the Bengals did not give him any carries in the second-half of the game. Marvin Lewis had an answer — and it was essentially a polite way of […]

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has all the opinions in the world. His latest is in regard to running back Ezekiel Elliott and how the National Football League has handled the entire will he/won’t he actually end up being suspended saga. “Jerry Jones tells The Fan the NFL has been feeling it’s way along in these […]

The Atlanta Falcons got walloped by the New England Patriots this past weekend in the two’s Super Bowl rematch. How did the Falcons attempt to get over it? By having a team meeting, of course. “Tough night last night,” head coach Dan Quinn said, per the AJC. “We got in late. I’m not sure many […]

First-year Denver Broncos coach Vance Joseph is someone who should probably be more careful with his words. Following his team getting blanked this weekend by an iffy Los Angeles Chargers team, Joseph backed his gunslinger while hurling his running game under the bus. “It’s the running game,” explained on Monday afternoon. “In our three victories, […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off a big win, but linebacker Vincenzo Williams is about to take all the limelight away from that positive with a rather polarizing claim. According to Vincenzo Williams, the Steelers are vegan. (Audible gasp) “Steelers don’t do beef,” Williams wrote. “We’re vegan.” For what it is worth, if you want to read between […]

Find you a person who will blindly back you like Denver Broncos coach Vance Joseph does for quarterback Trevor Siemian. Despite the Broncos being blanked on the scoreboard for the first time in roughly a billion years, while ignoring the obvious issues Denver has, the first-year coach is out here on this fine planet claiming […]

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer has seen his starting job come and go this season. With head coach Hue Jackson apparently having no idea how to handle the position, it isn’t a shocker that the young man was looking to blow off steam last weekend. However, at least in the realm of the National […]

Jay Gruden must have lost some of the fight. Following the Washington Redskins falling to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night, the brother of the guy in the booth seemed resigned over what team will win the NFC East. The coach noted that his team has now been swept by the Eagles this season, and […]

People had to keep celebrating it, so blame them. Longtime Cleveland Browns offensive lineman, and only reason to even care about the inept franchise, Joe Thomas is officially done for the season. “MRI reveals torn tricep tendon. Surgery soon. Tough break.” The franchise left tackle tweeted. Joe Thomas was taken out in the third quarter […]

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin shoved offensive line coach Tom Cable on Sunday. Now the talented, probably underrated receiver is apologizing for his actions. The shove came during the second quarter. Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said he told Cable to talk to Seattle’s offense on the sideline after it came off the field, […]

First-year Denver Broncos coach Vance Joseph started his head coaching career off well. Then, because no real quarterback, things have started to sour. On Sunday, the Broncos fell to the somewhat OK Los Angeles Chargers. Denver scored exactly as many points in that game as you did, and you aren’t even a team in the […]

Le’Veon Bell won’t be stopped. On Sunday, he had 35 carries for 134 yards and three receptions for 58 yards, including a 42-yard catch-and-run in the second quarter that was a highlight moment of the week type of dilly. On that latter play, Le’Veon Bell stiff-armed the poop out of a Cincinnati Bengals player. Let’s […]

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell had himself a great Sunday. He had 35 carries for 134 yards and three receptions for 58 yards, including a 42-yard catch-and-run in the second quarter. Oh, he is also angry at Cincinnati Bengals defensive standout Vontaze Burfict. “My fullback got kicked in the face. That’s just not football to […]

Martavis Bryant is apparently not too thrilled to be a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. According to a report by ESPN, the talented receiver would like to be traded and he would like that to happen sooner rather than later. “He wants out,” a source close to Bryant said to ESPN. “Point blank.” Um… yikes! […]

Fog is, at least apparently, a rather polarizing topic. Just ask New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Atlanta Falcons receiver Julio Jones, as the two had different opinions on the heavy fog that settled in when the two teams played on Sunday. Julio Jones doesn’t let a silly little thing like weather bother him: […]

Indianapolis Colts safety Malik Hooker was having himself an outstanding rookie season. Then, because life is evil, it was cut short on Sunday. According to multiple reports, Hooker suffered a torn ACL and MCL and is done for the year. Malik Hooker took to the mean streets of Twitter to address the injury: https://twitter.com/MalikHooker24/status/922294507936284677 Hooker, a […]

When the Miami Dolphins signed then retired quarterback Jay Cutler, people were a bit perplexed. Not only due to the fact that a leopard rarely changes the spots on its coat that late in life, but because Cutler can never finish a season standing upright. Basically, Jay Cutler has a habit of both throwing the […]

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller has become the second-fasted player to ever record 80 sacks in the history of the National Football League. Tickle no one shocked and do not call them Nancy. Von Miller has been an electric, elite pass rusher the moment he entered the league. The only shocking part about him getting […]

The Dallas Cowboys really need Ezekiel Elliott to help be competitive in a dangerous NFC East division. At the same time, it could be argued that whatever playing time Elliott is to miss is the player’s own doing. There’s more to it than that, as one could argue the allegations levied against Ezekiel Elliott trump anything that […]

The Cleveland Browns literally just reinserted DeShone Kizer back into being the team’s starting quarterback. On Sunday, because Browns, the rookie quarterback was once again benched by Hue Jackson. Cody Kessler was inserted in his place. Let’s make something abundantly clear about this benching: Whatever woes Cleveland has had on offense has almost no direct […]

Chicago Bears talent Eddie Jackson is not exactly a household name, but he sure as hell is trying to change that on Sunday. Without it yet being halftime (at least at the time of this posting), the Chicago Bears stud already has two touchdowns. Worth mentioning, Eddie Jackson plays defense — you know, the side […]

The Green Bay Packers might be down Aaron Rodgers, but another Aaron is trying like hell to help fill the void. Early in Green Bay’s opening drive on Sunday, Aaron Jones went 45 yards untouched to scored a touchdown against the New Orleans Saints. Here is the footage: El TD de Aaron Jones #GoPackGo46 yardas.https://t.co/GyMkiWbHj9 […]

Houston Texans rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson has done a relatively splendid job adjusting to the National Football League. Not too shabby when you consider the fact the Texans didn’t name him the starting QB to start the season. Deshaun Watson is now dominating something other than the gridiron. Through six weeks of the National Football League […]

The New York Jets is the home to tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins, who had a NSFW way of describing the differences between what was happening last year as opposed to this season with the team. “It’s f—ing night and day. It’s not the same s–t at all,” tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins told The New York […]

Roger Goodell is whatever you want him to be. He is the NFL’s public lackey, taking the brunt of what owners really want. On the flip side, he could also just be some wacko who has done a poor job in his role since acquiring it. That he, and only he, is responsible for the […]

Joe Haden came to the Pittsburgh Steelers with little hoopla. The former Cleveland Browns cornerback was mostly an afterthought at that point, but things have managed to turn around quickly, as he’s becoming an important member of the Steelers team. Not only as a player. Joe Haden’s importance to the Steelers has as much to […]

During the preseason, Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Leonard Fournette said the National Football League was a bit slower — in terms of game-speed — than he expected. A few weeks into his first real season in the pros, and it appears the game caught up to him fast. Leonard Fournette is not expected to play […]

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank will unlikely be confused with a great philosopher or as a person good with creating outside-the-box thinking. According to Arthur Blank, the Falcons having their Super Bowl rematch with the New England Patriots this week isn’t something the team can’t use to create closure. Not because he believes his team […]
