It appears as though the Detroit Lions have made yet another coaching change, something that the middle-of-the-pack franchise has done on a regular basis as of late. According to a Tuesday evening report from Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, the NFC North franchise will now be hiring Sean Ryan as the team’s next quarterbacks coach. Ryan […]

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has finally reached the Super Bowl — well, sort of… The NFL signal caller-turned-CBS broadcaster will not only be calling the big game come Sunday evening, but Romo even has his own Super Bowl commercial this year. Thanks to his partnership with the popular shoe brand, Skechers, Romo will […]

The New England Patriots have reached yet another Super Bowl while managing to do so without the services of former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon. The troubled wideout made his way to New England by way of Cleveland thanks to a mid-season trade away from the Browns. Unfortunately, though, Gordon’s season was once again […]

Former Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield quickly became the talk of the town this season as the No. 1 overall pick from the 2018 NFL Draft notably led the typically dismal Cleveland Browns to a nearly even record as a rookie. Now, it appears as though the former Heisman Trophy winner has already been elevated […]

The Pro Bowl often becomes a forgotten part of the NFL season. Due to the fact that the annual event takes place between championship weekend and the Super Bowl, most NFL fans are either preparing for the Super Bowl or simply tuning out because of what typically becomes a lackluster affair. However, it appears as […]

The Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots will be squaring off in Sunday’s Super Bowl 53 matchup in Atlanta, thanks in part to the presence of All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald. Without Donald, the Rams would not be nearly as much of a threat to the heralded Patriots and future Hall of Fame quarterback […]

Former Missouri Tigers quarterback and current NFL Draft prospect Drew Lock has a ton of talent — there’s no doubt about that. However, the question now remains, where will the coveted signal caller end up on “Draft Day?” It appears as though the Denver Broncos could be a likely destination, according to the Denver Post. […]

Let the Super Bowl media festivities begin! The talk of the town — literally — is Super Bowl 53 and Los Angeles Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman has already managed to find himself on the hot seat. No, not because of the pass interference call that wasn’t against the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship […]

Former New England Patriots cornerback Aqib Talib is now current Los Angeles Rams cornerback. As a result, Talib is well versed in all things Patriots as he previously spent a season-and-a-half in New England before ultimately suiting up for the Rams. Currently, in the midst of his first year out on the West Coast, Talib […]

The Los Angeles Rams are Super Bowl bound, and there is nothing anyone can do about it…I think? With the Rams edging the New Orleans Saints in overtime in this year’s NFC Championship Game, the memorable victory did not come without some major controversy. As a result, Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank now believes that […]

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and current CBS analyst Tony Romo has been wizard-like in the booth throughout the last two seasons. Now wrapping up his second season as a broadcaster by calling the Super Bowl, Romo appears to have at least one fan in former Cowboys head coach and current Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator […]

Few know current Los Angeles Rams cornerback Aqib Talib better than longtime New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. Talib, a former member of the Patriots, will now be standing across from his former head coach come Sunday evening in Atlanta as the Rams will be battling it out with New England in Super Bowl […]

Indianapolis Colts placekicker Adam Vinatieri recently announced that he would be returning for yet another NFL season in 2019-20. Previously — and infamously — a member of the now Super Bowl-bound New England Patriots earlier in his career, the seasoned placekicker was naturally asked about his rooting interest in Sunday’s affair in Atlanta. A veteran […]

The New England Patriots will be taking on the Los Angeles Rams come Sunday in Atlanta. With Super Bowl 53 now right around the corner, it appears as though the battle of words has already begun between the two sides, with Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and Rams defensive coordinator Wade Phillips at the forefront. Well, […]

Detroit Lions linebacker Trevor Bates was arrested over the weekend while in New York. Taken into custody for not paying his cab fare, the Lions defender then reportedly became incredibly aggressive and violent while being taken into custody by police. Bates is even being accused of punching an officer. “We are aware of the arrest […]

The Los Angeles Rams are Super Bowl bound. However, the team’s path to the NFL’s version of a championship game was quite unconventional considering that All-Pro running back Todd Gurley was out-played by journeyman running back C.J. Anderson. While Gurley held his own at times, it was Anderson that did much of the work against […]

The Cleveland Browns have once again hired a new head coach in Freddie Kitchens. However, this time things are supposed to be different as Cleveland has actually been trending in the right direction as of late — thanks to general manager John Dorsey and the arrival of a franchise quarterback and former No. 1 overall […]

To say that Sunday afternoon’s edition of the Pro Bowl was a wet one would be an understatement. This year’s Pro Bowl quickly turned into a schoolyard version of the annual event as the rain continued to come down in Orlando, leading to a slew of both unconventional plays and decisions alike. With many a […]

The Los Angeles Rams have officially touched down in Atlanta. With the NFC Champions’ Super Bowl 53 clash with the New England Patriots now only one week away, the Rams have arrived at the site of this year’s festivities.

The San Francisco 49ers seem to have found a new quarterbacks coach. According to a Sunday evening report from Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, the 49ers will be hiring Shane Day to take over as the franchise’s quarterbacks coach. It is also worth noting that Day will be replacing Rich Scangarello, who was […]

The Indianapolis Colts no doubt have one of the best quarterbacks in the league in Andrew Luck. However, in a time when social media reigns supreme and everyone appears to be as cool as a cucumber, Luck remains a simple man with a very mundane demeanor. Nonetheless, it appears as though the quirky Luck is […]

Yet another year has passed and yet another Super Bowl appearance it will be for future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. Now a 41-year-old signal caller, Brady will be taking on the surging Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 53, which will mark the quarterback’s ninth appearance in the […]

It is safe to say that this year’s Pro Bowl got a little out of hand in terms of its schoolyard nature. Offensive players were playing defense, defensive players were playing offense and just about everyone made an appearance on special teams at some point. Even Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey tried playing with the […]

It appears Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker will be able to suit up against his hometown team, the New York Knicks, on Monday evening. According to Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer, the Hornets have listed Kemba Walker as probable for Monday’s clash against the Knickerbockers. Walker has been battling a lingering neck injury, […]

Cam Jordan and the New Orleans Saints’ season did not end how the NFC South powerhouse would have liked — to say the least. Infamously coming up just short as the result of an overtime thriller against the Los Angeles Rams last weekend, the Saints were ultimately ousted from Super Bowl contention thanks to a […]

The Milwaukee Bucks currently sit atop the Eastern Conference standings and have impressed all season long thus far into the 2018-19 campaign. However, that was not the case last year when they were ousted in seven games by the Boston Celtics in the first round of the 2017-18 playoffs. Although it was most certainly a […]

In case you have lived under a rock for the majority of the 2018-19 campaign, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes strung together quite the impressive season. Perhaps highlighting his possible MVP season, Mahomes continually threw no-look passes to his Kansas City teammates. However, it appears as though Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster thought […]

It’s safe to say that it has been a rough year for Jason Witten — and that’s putting it lightly. The former Dallas Cowboys tight end and current ESPN broadcaster just wrapped up his first year in the booth and things did not go well throughout the entire process. Whether it was stumbling over himself […]

Just to be clear, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback  — and leading MVP candidate — Patrick Mahomes and Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron are not on the same team. But, if you asked former Dallas Cowboys tight end and current ESPN commentator Jason Witten on Sunday, you might have gotten a little bit of a […]

The Portland Trail Blazers and head coach Terry Stotts are now blending the present with the future. After recently ditching his whiteboard in favor of an iPad in regards to calling plays during timeouts, Stotts apparently won’t be going back to his old ways any time soon. “I’m just getting used to it,” Terry Stotts […]

With the NBA All-Star Weekend right around the corner, the banter surrounding the annual festivities has already begun. However, the most recent headlines stemming from NBA All-Star Weekend are certainly not what one would think of initially. The Celebrity All-Star Game often takes a backseat to just about every other event on the slate. Nonetheless, […]

Philadelphia 76ers forward Wilson Chandler has served as a solid NBA player for many years while remaining relatively quiet during his time atop the highest level. A role player that has made a living playing alongside some top-tier NBA talent — most recently Joel Embiid, Jimmy Butler and Ben Simmons with the Sixers — Chandler […]

Despite the fact that he finished his illustrious NFL playing career as a member of the Denver Broncos, future Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning remains an Indianapolis Colts legend. With the Colts unexpectedly encountering a breakout campaign in 2018-19, Manning recently returned to the fold himself en route to commenting on all things Colts […]

Despite an entire season’s worth of hype, the high-powered New Orleans Saints won’t be participating in Super Bowl LIII after all. Thanks to some late game-heroics from Los Angeles Rams placekicker Greg Zuerlein, and of course some much-needed help from the referees, the Saints were sent packing over the weekend with only next season to […]

The Dallas Cowboys are often the talk of the town, even when the once heralded NFC East franchise has already been eliminated from Super Bowl contention. This time, it is Cowboys Executive Vice President, CEO and Director of Player Personnel Stephen Jones who is making headlines — well, sort of. With the Cowboys previously being ousted […]

Former Alabama Crimson Tide and San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster is now a member of the Washington Redskins despite not having suited up for the NFC East franchise in 2018-19. Even though he was claimed off waivers midway through the most recent regular season, Foster was unable to make his way onto the field […]

The Dallas Cowboys once again failed to reach the Super Bowl as a result of the 2018-19 campaign. However, the once-heralded franchise did manage to return to the postseason while claiming an NFC East divisional crown along the way. Splitting the team’s two postseason games in 2018-19, the Cowboys first defeated the Seattle Seahawks before […]

The Utah Jazz are not a healthy ball club as the month of January begins to come to a close. However, it appears as though the Western Conference franchise is starting to look ahead to happier times as the Jazz released a formal statement regarding the status of a slew of players on Tuesday evening. […]

Well, it’s official. Former Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians is now the new head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While Arians lasted just one season away from coaching atop the highest level, the veteran football mind has had absolutely no problem re-adjusting to life in the NFL. Ever since accepting his new role […]
