You probably know who […]

A unique franchise — in a part of the country where Jazz and Cajun cooking rule — the New Orleans Saints languished in anonymity for many years.

The NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award is annually given to the most outstanding defensive player of the regular season. Throughout league history, several Hall of Famers have claimed the award.

It hasn’t been much fun for the Washington Commanders’ fans over the last, oh, three decades or so.

Thanks to Tom Brady in recent years and the Tampa 2 defense a few years back, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are among just six teams with multiple Super Bowl wins in the 21st century.

The Minnesota Vikings had four opportunities early in the Super Bowl era to win professional football’s championship.

It’s not a stretch to say that in the 100-plus year history of the National Football League, no team has a richer history than that of the Chicago Bears. Now sure, the Bears’ lone Super Bowl win doesn’t stack up to the totals of franchises like the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers (six each), […]
