Shortly after Tony Romo made his speech conceding that Dallas’ starting QB spot deservedly belongs to Dak Prescott, many fans and pundits began speculating where Romo will play after this season. Teams like the Texans, Jets, and Broncos were cited as possible trade partners. Jerry Jones wants us all to pump the breaks. When asked […]

The Houston Texans currently boast a 6-3 record, good for first in the AFC South. But, there are still serious questions about their current quarterback situation. This offseason, the Texans signed free agent Brock Osweiler to a four-year, $72 million deal. He’s struggled to live up to the hype, which shouldn’t be taken as an […]

Earlier this week, Tony Romo made an emotional speech to the media, conceding the starting QB spot to Dak Prescott. Romo demonstrated humility and selflessness, and the video went viral. But, as he noted in the speech, people shouldn’t doubt his competitive drive for a second. Prior to this concession, Romo made a last-ditch attempt […]

Given how long Tom Brady has been in the NFL, you’d think he’d would’ve played a game against the 49ers by the Bay. But, the only time he had the chance to (in 2008), Brady was out with a torn ACL. Growing up, the four-time Super Bowl champion Brady rooted for another four-time Super Bowl […]

In the offseason, NBC hired former ESPN Monday Night Football announcer Mike Tirico to help alleviate Al Michaels’ schedule. This year, NBC added a number of Thursday night games, forcing Michaels, at 72 years old, to perform double-duty quite a bit. The plan was to have Tirico take the Thursday night games, but the network […]

Forgive Browns fans if they don’t have much hope for their favorite team. With decades of poor play on their resume, Cleveland actually might have their worst football team since the revival of the Browns in 1999. They currently sit at 0-10; a 0-16 season is a real possibility. Despite their inadequacy in every facet […]

It’s quite rare for a rookie to be in the NFL MVP conversation. It’s even more rare to have two rookies considered for the honor, but that’s the case this season. And, they play on the same team. Fourth overall pick Ezekiel Elliott and fourth round pick Dak Prescott have led the Dallas Cowboys to […]

There’s no doubting that the 2016 campaign has been disappointing for the Carolina Panthers. On the heels of a 15-1 season in 2015, Cam Newton & company currently sit at 3-6 as we head into the stretch run of the schedule. A path to the playoffs still exists, but Carolina probably can’t afford to lose […]

Tom Brady has been spectacular at taking care of the football this season, finally throwing his first pick this past Sunday. The 49ers‘ Eric Reid is hoping for more this coming weekend. The New England Patriots are making the trip to Santa Clara for a matchup with the 1-8 49ers, and Reid is preparing himself […]

A day after Tony Romo‘s heartfelt press conference conceding the starting quarterback spot to Dak Prescott, head coach Jason Garrett met with Romo. The longtime duo discussed the franchise’s plan for Romo moving forward, including their usage of him in practice. Last week, Romo received a few snaps with the first team as he works […]

If you search for the dictionary definition of a class act, you’ll probably find a picture of Tony Romo. For the first time all season, Romo will be active and in uniform for the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday. He broke a bone in his back in the preseason, forcing him to miss Weeks 1-10. During […]

It’s common to see great athletes from different sports paying their respects to the crafts of their counterparts. Even when the fields differ greatly, these men and women share similar stories of perseverance, dedication, and resilience. This past weekend, New York Giants star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. expressed his appreciation for the greatness of Conor […]

Skittles’ business (and personal) relationship with Marshawn Lynch was well-documented, but with the star running back retired, they’ve turned to Antonio Brown as their NFL spokesman. Previously, they gifted the Steelers‘ dominant receiver Skittles-themed dancing shoes, a jacket, and gloves. However, none of those items compare to the present they bestowed upon him this week. […]

After a slow start to the season, Odell Beckham Jr. has been on a tear the last few weeks. The Giants have risen along with Odell, boasting a 6-3 record as we enter the stretch run of the schedule. As impressive as Beckham has been, he’s still not on pace to finish with as many […]

The quarterback drama in Dallas has fizzled, thanks to yet another brilliant performance by Dak Prescott. The Cowboys have won their last eight games, and while Tony Romo is finally healthy, it’s unlikely he’ll play unless Dak gets injured. Under the tutelage of Romo, Prescott has excelled as a rookie. He certainly benefits from star […]

National anthem protests have been utilized by a number of NFL players this season, for various reasons. On Sunday, that was extended to the result of the presidential election. As “The Star-Spangled Banner” played before the Buccaneers‘ game against the Bears, Bucs receiver Mike Evans kneeled. Afterward, Evans said he was protesting Donald Trump’s electoral […]

There has been a lot of coverage regarding the NFL’s slumping ratings, with a number of different reasons cited as the culprit. Some analysts believe a decline in play on the field is to blame, while others point to external factors, such as the election. The NFL really isn’t hurting; their numbers for regular season […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have found a number of ways to falter during their four-game losing streak. One week, the offense is stagnant. The next, the defense can’t make a stop. The latter was the case on Sunday. The Steelers acquired a total of 448 yards, with Ben Roethlisberger piling up 408 passing yards and three […]

The Philadelphia Eagles are a surprising playoff contender this season, but their roster still has its fair share of holes. One of the most striking is their lack of a big-play receiver. That’s where Terrell Owens would like to fill in. The six-time Pro Bowler spent two years with the franchise, reaching the only Super […]

The NFL is experiencing dipping ratings this season, and a number of possible explanations have been presented. People have argued that the lead-up to the election played a role, as well as a perceived decline in play. The one thing almost everybody can find common ground on is the fact that there are too many […]

Burglaries have struck a number of NFL players lately. Just this past year, DeMarcus Ware had his Super Bowl ring stolen, and Gerald McCoy‘s home was broken into. This week, Cassius Marsh was the victim of robbery as well, but his losses were a little different. Apparently, Marsh’s “Magic: The Gathering” cards were stolen from […]

The reassertion of Jordy Nelson into Green Bay’s lineup has undoubtedly been a huge boost for the Packers. He’s currently on pace to gain over 1,000 yards through the air for the fourth time in his career, and he already has seven touchdowns. But, just because the numbers are there doesn’t mean Nelson has played […]

After a strong start to the season, the Philadelphia Eagles find themselves at 4-4, right in the thick of the playoff race. After dominating the competition in their first three games, Philly has gone 1-4. A huge reason for the Eagles’ change in fortune has been their performance late in games. In all four losses, […]

It’s been a tough go for Jimmy Graham ever since he was traded to the Seattle Seahawks last season. He changed the narrative on Monday night. Not long ago, Graham was considered the second best tight end in the NFL behind Rob Gronkowski. With Drew Brees tossing him the pigskin, Graham regularly topped, or approached, […]

Dak Prescott has been on an incredible run that nobody expected on the day of the draft. The rookie, who was selected in the 4th round, has led the Cowboys to seven straight wins and a 7-1 start. Many believe this is the most impressive rookie campaign they’ve ever seen from a QB. But, they’ve […]

Colin Kaepernick has gained headlines for his national anthem protests regarding racial injustice, but ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith wants us to stop giving him attention. The reason? On Tuesday, Kaepernick declared that he chose not to vote in the 2016 presidential election. Smith didn’t take too kindly to the message that sends, and he reacted […]

At this point last season, the Minnesota Vikings and their fans were perfectly fine with Blair Walsh. The kicker has a strong leg, and while his accuracy was right in the middle of the pack last year, he usually made kicks in big-time moments. He missed four extra points in 2015 under the new rule […]

The Los Angeles Rams are reeling, but Jeff Fisher continues to stay calm. He’s basically the dog sitting in the burning house meme, saying “This is fine.” At 3-5, the Rams are looking at a fifth straight year under Fisher with a sub-.500 record. The last time they won eight games was 2006, and the […]

The Buffalo Bills have received acclaim for making Kathryn Smith the first full-time female coach in NFL history. However, her breakthrough has made her the target of some inappropriate jokes and heckling. During last night’s classic between the Bills and the Seattle Seahawks, one of the 12’s yelled “Waitress!” at Smith over and over again. […]

The end of the first half of last night’s game was a comedy of errors for the officials. With three seconds left before the break, the Bills‘ Dan Carpenter lined up to kick a field goal when Richard Sherman jumped offside. The play was blown dead, but Carpenter continued his kicking motion while Sherman continued […]

Jerry Jones has a problem that most NFL owners would love to have. You already know the story. With Tony Romo sidelined by a preseason back injury, Dak Prescott took the reigns of the offense in Dallas, and he hasn’t looked back. After a narrow Week 1 loss, the Cowboys have ripped off seven straight […]

It’s been a rough stretch for the Los Angeles Rams, and some of their supporters are getting desperate. After a surprising 3-1 start that featured upset wins over the rival Seahawks and Cardinals, LA has dropped four games in a row. Other than a narrow loss to the Lions, the offense has been stagnant, and […]

The Dallas Cowboys glided to a seventh consecutive victory on Sunday, toppling the winless Browns in Cleveland. After a 2015 season in which Dallas only won four games while being decimated by injuries, they currently stand at the top of the NFC. To celebrate the occasion, the players provided their own rendition of the recently […]

It was only a couple of years ago that Aaron Rodgers urged Packers fans to relax after a slow start. Sure enough, that Packers squad went on to the NFC Championship game, and was on the verge of a Super Bowl appearance. Rodgers had a much different tone on Sunday. The Packers fell to 4-4 […]

Jerry Jones is done talking about the quarterback situation in Dallas, at least regarding this coming week. But, based on recent reports, he might just be taking the easy way out. When Tony Romo went down with a back injury in the preseason, he was given a 10-week recovery period. 10 weeks have come and […]

As crazy as it sounds, Tom Brady appears to be peaking at age 39. Back in 2007, Brady set the NFL record for touchdown passes in a season with 50. If he played a full 16-game season at the rate he’s performed through his four games in 2016, he’d come just short of that mark […]

The quarterback position is considered to be the most important in football. At the professional level, you simply can’t win without, at the very least, an adequate signal caller. As defensive ends and linebackers become faster, and offensive lines have less time to practice together, the margin of error for QBs is dropping. They have […]

One of the best calls of Peyton Manning‘s career just came after his playing days. An elementary school teacher named Rhonda Jacobs has been a fan of Manning since his time at Tennessee. She followed his entire NFL career, and over time, she developed a desire to meet Manning one day. That plan was put […]

Tom Brady has been the starting quarterback for the New England Patriots since a few games into the 2001 season. He’s won four Super Bowls, three Super Bowl MVPs, two NFL MVPs, and 11 Pro Bowl appearances. He transformed the Patriots organization from just another franchise into one of the most prestigious in the NFL. […]
