What a newsworthy day for the New York Giants. As the day started with the proud National Football League franchise firing coach Ben McAdoo and general manager Jerry Reese, it is attempting to win in the realm of PR, as Eli Manning is reportedly back as the team’s starting gunslinger. https://twitter.com/JordanRaanan/status/937742899294302208 Given that Eli Manning […]

The New York Giants finally pulled the trigger and fired embattled head coach Ben McAdoo. This is not exactly a stunning turn of events, as reports surfaced on Sunday that this was likely to happen.

Los Angeles Chargers defensive standout Casey Hayward has had an objectively sad week. Earlier this week, he had to attend the funeral of his younger brother, a tragedy that’s clearly enough to justify his possible need for some time off. However, according to Casey Hayward, he wants to be with his other family after dealing […]

The Jimmy Garoppolo era in San Francisco is officially underway, and 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan seems pretty giddy about the entire thing.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith had himself a historic day on Sunday.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon played pretty well in his first game back following a lengthy suspension. However, that might not be the biggest story to emerge from the Gordon narrative. Instead, as it has been for a few months now, it is with how candid Josh Gordon has been with his issues with […]

The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a pretty big loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night. That’s the bad. The good? Offensive lineman Jason Kelce is happy — relatively speaking, of course — with the way the Eagles lost. “It’s definitely better when it’s a self-inflicted thing that you can correct,” veteran center Jason Kelce said, via Dave Zangaro […]

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski did it to himself. The target that is on his back is his own doing. While people might get mad with Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer for stating the obvious, it wasn’t him who literally hurt someone by playing dirty. On Sunday, Gronkowski took a cheap shot on […]

Any chance the Houston Texans had at a potential playoff run has seemingly gone down the drain in Week 13 with their 24-13 loss to the Tennessee Titans.

It has been a forgettable 2017 NFL season for the Indianapolis Colts. However, amidst the Colts disastrous year, there have been a few lone bright spots. Oh, hello there, veteran talent Frank Gore! Among them is the fact that veteran running back Frank Gore has still managed to make history several times over. Despite suffering […]

The Detroit Lions were hoping to get back into the win column amidst their two-game losing streak.

What an unbelievable game for Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith on Sunday afternoon against the New York Jets.

According to a tweet from ESPN Stats & […]

The Pontiac Silverdome refuses to die, as the former home of the Detroit Lions remains standing even after a series of explosives were set off inside the stadium early Sunday morning.

Even though the Arizona Cardinals struggled in a 32-16 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday afternoon at the University of Phoenix Stadium, longtime wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald made NFL history in two different categories.

The Baltimore Ravens are hitting their groove, as evidenced by a three-game win streak that includes a dominant 44-20 win at home against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

One carry all day long, one game-winning touchdown.

Minnesota Vikings running back Jerick McKinnon did the Atlanta Falcons dirty on Sunday. You’ll get the less than subtle joke right now … That's dirty, @JetMckinnon1.#Skol pic.twitter.com/YnymlZRdaw — Minnesota Vikings (@Vikings) December 3, 2017 There is the Vikings running back doing the Dirty Bird in Atlanta. For those who weren’t fully formed during the late […]

Buffalo Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor managed to get his job back in just enough time to get injured to the point that he needed to be carted off the field on Sunday. In the team’s game against the New England Patriots, Tyrod Taylor was hurt on the first play of the game, banging his knee, […]

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels probably have a great relationship. That being said, it doesn’t mean the duo never get in a yelling match.

The New York Giants might not be married to head coach Ben McAdoo for much longer. Heck, at least according to some reports, this poorly wed couple could see the relationship end as early as Sunday. According to the reports, if the New York Giants lose on Sunday (or even if they don’t), it is […]

The New Orleans Saints have put tight end Coby Fleener on the injured reserve, marking the end of the season for one of the league’s better pass-catching tight ends.

Some good news coming out of the Green Bay Packers National Football League franchise, as quarterback Aaron Rodgers has returned to practice.

In fact, […]

New York Jets tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins has reason to not love the replay system. In two different instances this season, the safety-net system for officials failed him in plays that could have arguably gone in his favor. Still, it is weird that Austin Seferian-Jenkins seems to sincerely believe replay will never go his way. “Odds are, it […]

When it comes to 2017 for safety Calvin Pryor, it simply has not been a very good year for the former first-round pick from the University of Louisville.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were doing well, but the team’s stay in the win column was short-lived after a 20-34 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

Alshon Jeffery is not going anywhere. The Philadelphia Eagles and wide receiver have agreed to a four-year contract extension that keeps Jeffery in the City of Brotherly Love through 2021. Not a bad deal for Alshon Jeffery, who joined the Eagles last offseason on a one-year deal. Per multiple reports, the deal has a base […]

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady claims he will never criticize his offensive line. Not because he is above doing so, but he believes it is his job to get smacked around. Wait … what? Yes. In a truly roundabout way, Tom Brady says he’s fine with getting sacked because it is all just part […]

Denver Broncos defensive lineman Domata Peko has an impressive games played streak. Unfortunately for the big man, that streak will end on on Sunday. Domata Peko, who has played in every game since 2009 (123 games), is going to be forced to watch the Broncos either via the sideline or the television. He seems as […]
