Eli Manning is putting up with Odell Beckham Jr.‘s amusing antics on the sidelines, for now. To clarify, they’re amusing for fans. We watch for the theatrics, and regardless of how well he plays, Odell brings them. But, when the Giants are struggling, they’re quite frustrating for their players and coaches. That was the case […]

This week’s bye came at a much-needed time for the Carolina Panthers. After going 15-1 in 2015, the Panthers are off to an abysmal, and overall surprising, 1-5 start. They’ve lost three games by three or less points, but given how many close games they won last year, their record in close games was likely […]

Bill Belichick has been coaching in the NFL for decades, and he’s gotten along just fine in the past without using tablets on the sidelines. New England‘s head man did everything he could to utilize them to his advantage over the last few years, but he’s over it. The NFL is making big money from […]

Ezekiel Elliott is currently leading the NFL in rushing, and he’s on pace to set the rookie rushing record. He’s played a critical role in the Dallas Cowboys starting 5-1. Elliott’s play has Cowboys fans in a frenzy, as well as former stand out receiver Michael Irvin. Even though Irvin works for the NFL Network, […]

NBA legend and current TNT analyst Charles Barkley recently guested on The NFL Today on CBS and gave his thoughts on a lot of news surrounding the league. Known for speaking his mind without holding back, the basketball Hall of Fame member sounded off on the Oakland Raider’s planned move to Las Vegas. This comes […]

Ezekiel Elliott wasn’t finished getting dressed when he conducted his postgame interview on Sunday. The brilliant Cowboys rookie shined once again as Dallas bowled over the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field, 30-16. Elliott carried the ball a total of 28 times, gaining an impressive 157 yards on the ground. Through six weeks, he’s on […]

Save for a few Seahawks fans, players, and coaches, mostly everybody thought Richard Sherman interfered with Julio Jones on the Falcons‘ last offensive play on Sunday. If called, Atlanta would’ve had plenty of time to set up the game-winning field goal. Instead, they lost, 26-24. Initially, the no-call didn’t appear all that egregious. But, after […]

Jack Del Rio needs to work on his phrasing. After his Raiders fell to the Chiefs on Sunday afternoon by a final score of 26-10, Del Rio attempted to compliment the dynamic play of Alex Smith. However, in the process, he completely ripped Smith’s ability to throw the pigskin. From Vic Tafur of the SF […]

The Green Bay Packers offense has disappointed with their production this season, and a lot of the blame has fallen on the shoulders of Aaron Rodgers. The former MVP has seen his completion percentage and overall output drop immensely, which has shocked many experts considering the dynamic play that we’ve witnessed from him previously. It […]

During Sunday afternoon’s game between the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers, Sean Payton was successful with both of his challenges. However, there was another play he wished was reviewable. The Saints, who eventually beat Carolina 41-38, were on the wrong side of a questionable pass interference call late in the fourth. The penalty was […]

Ezekiel Elliott and the Dallas Cowboys‘ offensive line have been a perfect match this season. The rookie from Ohio State is currently averaging 117.2 rushing yards per game, as well as 142.3 over the last four. If he continues at that first clip, Elliott would finish with 1,875 yards on the ground for the season. […]

The Indianapolis Colts did not have a 100-yard rusher for 55 straight games, dating back to 2012. That is, until last night. Frank Gore willed his way past the plateau against the Houston Texans on Sunday night. When he did so, the Colts’ official Twitter account didn’t hesitate to brag about breaking the streak. Here’s […]

The national anthem protests that many NFL players have participated in over the first portion of the season have apparently drawn the ire of CBS broadcaster Jim Nantz. On Thursday, an audio clip leaked of Nantz, reportedly during the Thursday night game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Miami Dolphins, criticizing the coverage of the […]

When you’re one of the best players at your position in the NFL, but you play for the worst team in the league, you need to find creative ways to have fun. That’s precisely the case for offensive tackle, Joe Thomas. Year after year, Thomas is renowned for his performance at the position, and he’s […]

Cam Newton fully participated in Thursday’s practice, signaling that he could return from his concussion this Sunday against the Saints. Cam’s return would be a huge lift for a Panthers team off to a disappointing 1-4 start, on the heels of a 15-1 campaign. Early this season, Cam has taken a number of huge hits, […]

In the realm of life, football is not all that important. We love the game, but relatively, it’s not a life and death enterprise. New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick reminded us of that fact on Friday morning. Before fielding questions during his press conference, Belichick addressed the shooting of two Boston police officers […]

The Tony Romo–Dak Prescott debate has taken yet another turn. Initially, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was adamant that Romo would have the job once he’s fully cleared to play. Prescott agreed that this is “Tony’s team.” Even though he wants to play, he understands if the starting job is given back to Romo. Then, […]

The Indianapolis Colts‘ woes along the offensive line are well-documented. Over their last 55 games, the Colts do not have a 100-yard rusher. Part of that is by design as well as poor running back play, but it can also be attributed to the hog mollies failing to execute. It’s taken a toll on the […]

After a disappointing 2015 season, the Dallas Cowboys are riding high behind rookies Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott. Dallas has won their last four games, including two without injured star receiver Dez Bryant. On his new show, FS1 personality Skip Bayless said that he hopes the Cowboys’ recent wins without Bryant will give him an […]

The NFL decided to crack down on celebrations this season, as well as other unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. They’ve been very specific with the banned celebrations, including the bow-and-arrow emulation. Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman was penalized and fined for it a couple weeks back, but that apparently won’t stop New Orleans Saints receiver Brandin Cooks. […]

The likelihood of the Carolina Panthers going 15-1 again was quite low, but essentially nobody expected them to be 1-4 after Week 5. While he didn’t expect it, one person who at least predicted it as a possibility was tight end Greg Olsen. Olsen is known as one of the better receiving threats at the […]

DeSean Jackson‘s departure from the Philadelphia Eagles organization was quite messy. That was mostly driven by the man who got rid of him, former Eagles head coach and current San Francisco 49ers coach Chip Kelly. The year before Kelly released him, Jackson had the most production season of his career. Now, with a few years […]

The expectation heading into Week 1 was that Dak Prescott would fill in the Cowboys‘ starting quarterback spot only until Tony Romo made his return. Instead, he’s excelled at such a high level that many pundits believe Dak should remain Dallas’ QB1, even with a healthy Romo. The media is certainly driving this “quarterback controversy,” […]

Tom Brady might be a robot. At age 39, he’s still performing at an elite level. His first game back after his suspension was one of the best of his career, throwing for over 400 yards with nearly perfect accuracy and three touchdowns. One of his primary targets, Julian Edelman, appeared on Ordway, Merloni & […]

If you search a NFL player’s name on social media sites, especially Twitter, you’ll see a wide range of opinions. Some people have nice things to say, but the majority are critical, and sometimes, quite nasty. It’s a week-to-week league. If a guy performs at a high level on Sunday, the positive reaction will only […]

From 1998 to 2012, Randy Moss compiled an incredible 15,292 receiving yards in his career, as well as 156 touchdowns. He holds the NFL record for most TD catches in a season at 23, and he led the league in receiving touchdowns five times. He’s arguably the best receiver in the history of the NFL, […]

In an amusing new advertisement released by Bose, Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman John Urschel explains the science of wireless, noise-cancelling headphones to J.J. Watt. The only issue is that he’s not listening. Along with being a starter in the NFL, Urschel is currently pursuing a PhD at MIT. He previously graduated from Penn State, where […]

The Las Vegas Raiders are becoming closer and closer to a reality. The franchise, which moved from Oakland to Los Angeles before going back to Oakland, is currently searching for a new stadium. Whether it comes in the Bay Area or else where is still up in the air. Sin City appears more than ready […]

We’re five weeks into the 2016 NFL season, and every team is dealing with an array of injures. The Pittsburgh Steelers are just as beat up, if not more, than other teams across the league. Ben Roethlisberger believes he knows why. The injury report for the Steelers just continues to grow each week. At the […]

The Buffalo Bills have hit on all cylinders over the last three weeks, and now they’ve received good news regarding one of their best players. Sammy Watkins, the Bills’ star receiver who broke a small bone in his foot in the offseason, attempted to play before going on injured reserve on September 30th. There were […]

Martellus Bennett is elated to be a part of the New England Patriots organization now. It’s a major step up, in his opinion, from his former team, the Chicago Bears. In a recent ESPN E:60 profile with his brother Michael, Bennett criticized Jay Cutler‘s leadership and the competitive drive of his ex-Bears teammates. During Bennett’s […]

With Tony Romo‘s back apparently healthy and his conditioning ongoing, the Dallas Cowboys have a tough decision looming. Do they stick with the sensational rookie Dak Prescott, or do they give Romo back the reins of the offense? It’s a good problem to have, especially given Romo’s injury-prone past. Over the last few years, the […]

After a stellar 2015 campaign for the New York Jets, it appears that Eric Decker‘s 2016 season is going to end just a few weeks in. Decker initially injured his rotator cuff against the Buffalo Bills back on September 15th, and it was further damaged against the Kansas City Chiefs. Decker missed Sunday’s game against […]

Last week was a frustrating one for Jared Cook, on and off the field. First, he injured his ankle and is expected to be out for the next four-to-six weeks. Then, while trying to enjoy chicken wings from Buffalo Wild Wings, Cook discovered a chicken head. In response, PETA decided to try and persuade Cook […]

Greg Hardy has switched career paths. Hardy excelled at defensive end in the NFL, but several incidents off the field, including a brutal domestic violence case, all but ended his football career. Now, he’s taking his physical talents to another sporting venture: mixed martial arts. Even though he didn’t have much experience in the field […]

Eddie Lacy was gashing the New York Giants‘ defense on Sunday night, averaging about eight yards per carry while bullying through defenders. Then, he came off the field gingerly. Lacy hurt his ankle, forcing him to miss the rest of the game for the Packers. Luckily, head coach Mike McCarthy doesn’t believe the injury is […]

Yesterday, Denver Broncos president John Elway announced that Gary Kubiak will not coach this Thursday against the San Diego Chargers. Instead, the plan is for Kubiak to come back next Monday. In the mean time, special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis will serve as the head coach. Kubiak was hospitalized this past Sunday after developing flu-like […]

Apparently, the compression fracture in Tony Romo‘s back has completely healed, and he could return to the field soon. That’s what Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones revealed this morning on 105.3 The Fan, as ESPN’s Todd Archer reported. Romo was never placed on injured reserve, so he technically could return as soon as this week. […]

In their first regular season game together, Martellus Bennett reaped the benefits of play with the legendary Tom Brady. Brady was essentially flawless in the first game back following his Deflategate suspension, throwing for over 400 yards and three touchdowns. All three were caught by Bennett, a career-high for the first-year Patriot. Through five weeks, […]
