Antonio Brown is known for his questionable behavior and his me-first attitude, but after his whole situation with the Pittsburgh Steelers, you would think that maybe he would have changed.

The guy who has come out looking the best in this seemingly never-ending beef between Antonio Brown and the Pittsburgh Steelers is wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, a fun-loving guy who genuinely does not seem all that confrontational.

In 2016, Alabama, as it often does, stole one of the best recruits in that year’s class. It wasn’t supposed to be that way. Before landing in Tuscaloosa, Josh Jacobs was living with his dad moving from cars to motels. As a recruit, he was off the radar. That changed after uploading his tape to […]

The Oakland Raiders made another bold move Tuesday, signing guard Richie Incognito. The Raiders clearly aren’t shying away from splashy moves, but this one raised a lot of eyebrows.
