The popular moniker goes, ‘What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas,’ but from the sounds of it, two current Raiders may not be staying in Vegas much longer. The Las Vegas Raiders are the textbook example of a team in transition, and that could mean plenty of moves are on the horizon, including parting way with […]

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has been one of the best at his position since he came into the NFL as a fifth round pick in 2017. After just his second season as a member of the 49ers, Kittle had skyrocketed up to number 29 on the NFL’s Top 100 Players list in […]

When the USC Trojans walked onto the field in South Bend on Saturday night to face the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, they were one of two undefeated teams left in the Pac-12. But after 60 minutes of play, they walked out of Notre Dame Stadium a beaten and battered team that looked both unprepared and […]

The Cincinnati Bengals offense finally got on-track last week, and things should only continue trending upwards with the return of fourth-year wide receiver Tee Higgins. Higgins missed the Bengals Week 5 win and subsequent firework show in Arizona, but according to Ian Rapoport, despite a cracked rib and a questionable tag heading into the game, […]

Fresh off of two of the worst losses of the Bill Belichick era in New England, things seem to only be getting worse for not only the Patriots, but more specifically, for their starting quarterback Mac Jones. Jones has been benched in each of the last two losses, and from the sounds of it, he’ll […]

Alabama football improved to 6-1 with a narrow 24-21 win over SEC West foe Arkansas, but if you caught a glimpse of Nick Saban down on the sideline in the final seconds of the game, you would’ve thought that Alabama was on the verge of being upset. Or that somebody stole Nick Saban’s lunch money. […]

It’s not breaking news to say that USC football quarterback Caleb Williams is widely regarded as one of the best players in college football today. He’s the reigning Heisman Trophy winner and he currently has the second best odds to win the Heisman Trophy again this year, according to BetMGM, trailing only fellow Pac-12 quarterback […]

The big game of the day on this glorious mid-October Saturday is a showdown of the two highest ranked teams in the Pac-12. When Michael Penix Jr. and the Washington Huskies battle the Oregon Ducks in their final Pac-12 showdown, we may get a clearer idea of who the top team in the Pac-12 actually […]

Dropping a home game to a bottom-tier conference opponent is bad enough, especially when favored by nearly two touchdowns heading into the game. But the Colorado Buffaloes loss to Stanford represents some unfortunate history for Colorado football, detailed on X (Twitter) by beat writer Brian Howell: Largest blown leads in Colorado football history: 29 – […]

We’re halfway through the 2023 college football season, and the defending Big Ten champions have yet to face a formidable challenge. If it wasn’t established last year when they went into the Horseshoe and beat Ohio State by three touchdowns in the final week of the regular season, it’s safe to say that Michigan football […]

To simply say that the college football landscape is “changing” would be a seismic understatement. And let’s just call it like it is: the singular reason behind the proliferation of conference realignment can be summed up in one word, two syllables, and five letters; money. It makes no geographic sense for Pac-12 staples Oregon, Washington, […]

When the Cleveland Browns returned to the NFL in 1999 after a four-year hiatus following Art Modell’s decision to move the franchise to Baltimore, fans of the team were hopeful that Tim Couch, the 1st pick in the 1999 NFL Draft, would be a stabilizing force for a franchise starting from the bottom. If he […]

NFL head coaches aren’t listed on official team injury reports, but if they were, I’m inclined to believe that the Los Angeles Rams’ injury report would’ve looked something like this on Friday: Sean McVay, Full Participant, Questionable (Pending Stork Visit) Sean McVay could miss Sunday’s game due to birth of son During a press conference […]

The Buffalo Bills have already been bit by the injury bug plenty this year. In back-to-back weeks, they’ve lost two All-Pro stars on the defense. First Tre’Davious White to a season-ending Achilles injury, and then Matt Milano, who suffered a broken leg and ligament damage in his knee last week in London. On Friday afternoon […]

347 is the number that Bill Belichick is after. It represents the number of combined regular season and postseason wins by Hall of Fame head coach Don Shula, the current NFL record which has stood since Shula retired in 1995. As things stand right now, Belichick is 18 wins shy of Shula’s record, but given how […]

Close your eyes for a moment and imagine it’s the year 2028. Congratulations guys, we’ve made it! Global warming hasn’t gotten us yet, nor has a terrifying nuclear war! It’s July and we’re in Los Angeles, California. The Summer Olympics have just begun and standing shoulder to shoulder down on a 50 x 30 yard […]

It feels safe to say that with the first third of the NFL regular season in the books, the Denver Broncos have become the NFL’s piñata. Here’s what I mean by that: have you ever been at a child’s birthday party, or a Cinco De Mayo celebration, or any other sort of festive occasion where […]

They say that when it rains, it pours, and in the aftermath of Miami’s head-scratching loss to unranked Georgia Tech, the reaction to Mario Cristobal’s inexplicable decision NOT to take a knee to close out a surefire win has produced a torrential downpour of critical takes, perhaps none more critical than that of ESPN’s Rece […]

The Los Angeles Rams are no strangers to pushing their metaphorical chips to the center of the table. In the Sean McVay era, the Rams have sent draft picks out the door in exchange for established veterans like Matthew Stafford, Jalen Ramsey, and Von Miller, among others. But if you take Sean McVay at his […]

We’re five weeks into the NFL regular season and no team has been lighting up the box scores and the scoreboard like the Miami Dolphins. Through five games, the Dolphins are averaging over 36 points per game, just a point and a half shy of the record set by the Denver Broncos in 2013. The […]
