The Dallas Cowboys annihilated the New York Giants last night, 40-0. It was, far and away, the most lopsided score in Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season so far.

And unlike the other major American sports, teams have to split the money between 53 guys on the regular season roster, the practice squad, and any injury […]

NFL contracts are some of the most convoluted in sports. Not all the money is guaranteed; it doesn’t all count against the salary cap, and its incentives and bonuses can get weirdly specific. That all contributes to a much higher number of contract holdouts than in other sports. And unlike the other major American sports, […]

What makes an NFL trade one of the worst in history? It can’t just be each side getting uneven returns because no transaction is ever fully equal. I’m inclined to be more forgiving of trades that end up as lopsided due to an injury after initially looking good, as that isn’t a direct consequence of […]

Welcome to Week 0, college football fans! We are so back. Need a little something extra primer before all the action starts? Do you want to start an argument with your annoying friend who thinks that Texas is back, for real, this time? Or do you need a bit more college football content to hold […]
