If the NFL Draft is a marathon, the league’s supplemental version is the 100-yard dash, an opportunity for all 32 teams to quickly say they are not interested in the small pool of prospects made available due to circumstances that affected their ability to be involved in the big boy back in April. This year […] More
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is expected to be suspended for the first three games of the 2018 season for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. The planned suspension, which is expected to become official before the July 4th holiday, stems from an alleged incident in March of 2016 with an Uber driver in […] More
Receiver tends to be the diva position in the NFL and Julio Jones never really fit into that stereotype but there is now at least a little smoke to a potential look-at-me fire developing in Atlanta. Jones, a three-time All-Pro who is arguably the best wideout in football, isn’t happy and missed all of the […] More
When it comes to now unemployed quarterback Christian Hackenberg, Jon Gruden is not a slave to mutual exclusivity. The veteran coach, who spent just under a decade away from the sideline and in the television booth before returning to the Oakland Raiders in January, released Hackenberg, once an oft-criticized second-round pick of the New York […] More
There are a number of veteran NFL players who are unhappy with their current contracts and have decided a little less than $85,000 measured against showing up for three days of mandatory minicamp was a cost-benefit analysis worth exploring, a group which included Atlanta All-Pro receiver Julio Jones, LA Rams interior monster Aaron Donald, Oakland […] More
The NBA is supposed to be the superstar-driven league with the NFL serving as the ultimate team sport. The exception always proves the rule, however, and the Indianapolis Colts’ Andrew Luck is the living, breathing embodiment of that. The Boston Celtics, without arguably their two biggest stars this season, Kyrie Irving and Gordon Heyward, made […] More
PHILADELPHIA – The Boogeyman isn’t just a mythical creature created to frighten children or a failed WWE gimmick, it’s something we are all capable of envisioning and that thesis was again validated by so many who believe the President of the United States is somehow responsible for the national-anthem mess that has the NFL chasing […] More
The Mistake on the Lake used to mean the old Municipal Stadium to those in Cleveland. For a newer generation, it could just as easily conjure up the thought of the Hue Jackson era with the Browns. Even for a franchise which has had one playoff appearance since its reboot in 1999, the one win […] More
If you really believed Cassius Marsh was going to affect the Patriots’ way, you really don’t know Bill Belichick all that well. The five-time Super Bowl-winning head coach was asked earlier this week about Marsh, the San Francisco 49ers defensive end who spent two unproductive months in New England last season. Typically that’s a blip […] More
It’s not the opportunity Johnny Manziel wanted but it’s the experience he needs to prove to NFL decision makers that a second chance is warranted. “Johnny Football” was once the Heisman Trophy winner at Texas A&M and a first-round pick in Cleveland before becoming the poster child for what so many believe is the entitled […] More
The NFL created a firestorm Wednesday by unilaterally implementing a new policy which prevents players like former San Francisco 49ers star quarterback Colin Kaepernick from protesting during the national anthem. On a second front of an already lost public-relations war, Kaepernick’s collusion grievance against the league got some added ammunition, at least from a perception […] More
To move forward with even a sense of optimism in a division which includes some real heavyweights at the quarterback position those in Chicago almost have to blame John Fox for what went on during Mitchell Trubisky’s often painful rookie season. To be fair there are plenty of reasons to believe Trubisky could take off […] More
