National Football League legend, and former Green Bay Packers quarterback, Brett Favre was once known for not missing games due to injury. Now retired, with time to mull some things over, the gunslinger is more fearful about how concussions might haunt him at some point in his life. “Playing 20 years and not missing a […]

If you thought anyone in the Jacksonville Jaguars organization would be mad with Jalen Ramsey after being ejected for fighting with AJ Green, you would be wrong. Supposed disciplinarian and team VP, Tom Coughlin, has the talented corner’s back to the fullest. “I want to voice my support for Jalen Ramsey following the incident in […]

It has been a disappointing year for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers thus far in the 2017 NFL season. To make matters worse, the culmination of their frustration was on full display during a 30-10 loss at the hands of the New Orleans Saints in Week 9. Mike Evans ended up, unfortunately, being an embodiment of that […]

Dallas Cowboys tight end Rico Gathers might have to wait until next season before he makes his NFL debut.

If the New England Patriots are to win back-to-back Super Bowl titles this season, they will have to do it minus star defensive linebacker Dont’a Hightower. Something that will make the road to a title a bit tougher. According to Field Yates of ESPN, Hightower has been placed by the team on injured reserve, essentially […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston won’t be on the field for at least a couple of weeks. His team is hoping that the time off will be enough time to get his ailing shoulder right. While Winston spends time on the shelf, the offense will be it the hands of Ryan Fitzpatrick. We don’t […]

In his first opportunity to return to the Cleveland Browns, former Pro Bowl wideout Josh Gordon worked out at the team practice facility. The 26-year-old posted an Instagram story on Tuesday to announce his arrival back with the team, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. “The first day back in the building went great,” Gordon […]

In wake of rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson tearing his ACL last week, the Houston Texans have been scrambling to sort out their quarterback situation. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Texans parted ways with veteran quarterback Matt McGloin so they could Josh Johnson on Tuesday afternoon. The #Texans are shuffling their QB room: […]

In the weeks that have followed Derek Carr’s injury in the Week 4 loss to the Denver Broncos, there has been a building narrative that the Raiders offensive line allowed for that happen because of his unwillingness to kneel during the national anthem. This all hit a head on Tuesday after Miko Grimes, who is the […]

The Baltimore Ravens are not a good football team as the NFL heads into the second half of the 2017 season. John Harbaugh’s squad is sitting in second place well behind the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North division with a 4-5 record and hope for a playoff spot dwindling. One of the main concerns for […]

The Seattle Seahawks are set to take the field on Thursday night in a huge divisional matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. However, there has remained much uncertainty around the availability of Pro-Bowl safety Earl Thomas, who has been dealing with a nagging hamstring injury. According to Omar Ruiz of NFL Network, Thomas has been deemed […]

The Denver Broncos started the 2017 NFL season as a team that appeared to be one of the best in the AFC. Von Miller was leading the defense while quarterback Trevor Siemian seemed to be the right choice at quarterback for new head coach Vance Joseph. Heading into Week 10, however, this once-promising Broncos team may […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been a team dealing with some issues both on and off the field during the 2017 NFL campaign. The most recent problem involved wide receiver Martavis Bryant who was recently benched for one game by the team for ill-advised social media post about teammate and fellow wideout, JuJu Smith-Schuster. Head coach Mike […]

The Minnesota Vikings are currently sitting comfortably atop the NFC North division standings with a record of 6-2. Mike Zimmer’s squad appears to be playoff bound with his team getting it done on both sides of the football this season, but their continued success might not include quarterback Sam Bradford. The 29-year-old quarterback out of […]

The fantasy football playoffs are looming, and whether your team has a spot locked or is still in the thick of the race, help is still available in the form of waiver wire pickups. With that, let’s scour the waivers one more time and see some players that have the potential to bolster your lineup. […]

Everyone assumes the one player the New England Patriots would never trade is quarterback Tom Brady. After all, he is arguably the greatest gunslinger in the history of the sport. Oddly enough, Tom Brady doesn’t exactly agree with people that he’s untouchable. In fact, he can envision a time when the Patriots force him out. […]

Detroit Lions running back Ameer Abdullah has a case of the fumbles. This is not lost on him, as he is taking responsibility for them, but only after adding a nice caveat in the mix. “I’m just going to keep doing the same thing I do,” Abdullah said, via the Detroit Free Press. “I play running back, man. I get […]

A supposed pizza chain, Papa John’s, has asked Nazis to please not buy its pizza after some of the latter declared it the official pizza of the movement. “We condemn racism in all forms and any and all hate groups that support it,” Papa John’s senior director of public relations Peter Collins said in a statement. “We do […]

Brett Hundley put up decent numbers during Monday Night Football. He completed 26 of 38 passes for 245 yards, ran for a touchdown and didn’t have any turnovers. But those numbers are minus some context. The sort that doesn’t paint the Green Bay Packers quarterback in as nice a light. Good thing head coach Mike […]

Cleveland Browns coach Hue Jackson is currently coming under fire from every direction. Not only are the Browns operating within the NFL with as many wins as you and I have (and we’re not even an NFL team), but the entire franchise has been mocked for its failure to properly execute a trade. In what […]

The Andrew Luck saga is taking a strange turn. While no one has yet to (on purpose) publicly blame the QB for his issues, behind closed doors it seems like people with power in the Indianapolis Colts organization are doing it. According to Bob Kravitz of WTHR, the latest issue stems from remarks made by […]

In what could be an attempt to save its season, the Atlanta Falcons have worked out cornerback Byron Maxwell. For those unaware, the veteran defensive back was last with the Miami Dolphins, before being cut by the team a few weeks ago. For context and proper attribution: Field Yates of ESPN reports that Byron Maxwell worked out for the […]

Josh Gordon is returning from suspension. That’s the good news for the Cleveland Browns. The bad? Gordon is coming back being as honest about his issues as humanly possible, and sometimes discretion is better served than going the transparency route. In an interview with GQ magazine, the wide receiver said he played under the influence “every game,” […]

Kelvin Benjamin was a member of the Carolina Panthers. That was until the franchise moved him to the Buffalo Bills at the trade deadline. It was a relative shock to those who follow the National Football League, but the talented receiver wasn’t taken by surprise. “To tell you the truth, I kind of really wasn’t […]

New York Giants coach Ben McAdoo recently said that every position on the team was up for grabs. At the time, he wouldn’t even fully commit to quarterback Eli Manning. A few hours later, and it now appears the coach is backtracking from his stance a bit. “He’s our quarterback. I have a lot of […]

The Seattle Seahawks could’ve had a 2017 version of the Fail Mary that would’ve caused Twitter to explode last Sunday, when the Seahawks lost to the Washington Redskins, 17-14. Near the end of the game, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was sacked by Redskins defensive tackle Terrell McClain with only 11 seconds remaining on the game […]

Brock Osweiler didn’t exactly look like Peyton Manning in his first start for the Denver Broncos since 2015, tossing for 208 yards on 19-of-38 completions to go with a touchdown and a pair of interceptions in a 51-23 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Despite the ugly loss and the uninspiring performance from Osweiler, […]

The Cincinnati Bengals can now breathe a sigh of relief. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Bengals star wide receiver A.J. Green is not going to be suspended for a scuffle he had with Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey during last Sunday’s 23-7 road loss. No other players, not AJ Green nor any Cardinals nor […]

Ahead of the Monday Night Football matchup between the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions, the Packers listed tight end Martellus Bennett as inactive.

A week ago, it was reported that New York Jets wide receiver Jeremy Kerley was in danger of being suspended for violating an undisclosed league policy. Today, that came to fruition.

In a press release sent out on Monday afternoon, the NFL announced that Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans is suspended one game without pay for his late hit on New Orleans Saints defensive back, Marshon Lattimore. He was cited for violating the league’s “unsportsmanlike conduct and unnecessary roughness rules.” After a play in […]

In a relatively shocking move, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are shutting down quarterback Jameis Winston for a few weeks. This comes, at least reportedly, as a result of the gunslinger needing to get some rest for his shoulder. Buccaneers are shutting down QB Jameis Winston for “a few weeks” to rest his injured shoulder, per […]

Somehow, through magic we can only assume, the New Orleans Saints are a good team this season. It isn’t only the usual high-powered offense, led by Drew Brees, getting the job done. New Orleans now, all of a sudden, has a stout defense. According to the veteran gunslinger, the Saints are only just starting to […]

Tom Savage won’t be able to win the hearts and minds no matter what this season. Having been the original starter for the Houston Texans this season, then being benched for the dynamic Deshaun Watson, he really finds himself in a tough spot. With Watson looking like a legit franchise gunslinger prior to going out […]

The Philadelphia Eagles scored a ton of points against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. A relatively shocking thing, as Denver has one of the better defenses in the entire National Football League. Though, to be fair, it appears the Eagles do have one of the best offenses. In terms of points scored, Philly hung 51 […]

We aren’t too far removed from people claiming Adrian Peterson was toast. Somehow, through magic and pure talent, the running back went to the Arizona Cardinals and rediscovered what made him special during his time with the Minnesota Vikings. Thanks to his stellar play, as well a injuries ravaging the position, the Cardinals have given […]

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has a bunch of options to help him recover from his injury. Unfortunately, at least according to reports, all the options are both confusing and awful. Firstly, it is being said that Andrew Luck does not need surgery. For clarification purposes, that is at least for just right now and […]

The Green Back Packers are already down Aaron Rodgers. The team can’t really afford any other talented players missing games. And yet, here we are, with tight end Martellus Bennett considered doubtful for Green Bay’s Monday Night Football game. Bennett didn’t practice at all last week. Him being listed as doubtful heading into Monday night isn’t […]
