The NFL needs to become a game again

This is totally fucking nuts. I honestly don’t know any other way to start this story. The NFL and all of the people involved are complete fucking lunatics. At it’s core football is still a game even though it’s become a multi-billion dollar one. The day after the NFL season opened with the New England […]

2015 NFL predictions: playoffs and awards

The final part of my preview series wraps up with playoffs and awards. Awards:  NFL MVP: Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers Boring, I know. Rodgers gets extra credit for torching the rest of the league as wide receiver Jordy Nelson watches the entire season from the sidelines. Offensive Player of the Year: Atlanta Falcons […]

2015 NFL predictions: Looking at the AFC

It’s time for meaningless NFL predictions! I’ll put mine out in three sections: the AFC, the NFC and awards/playoffs. Here is getting things started with the AFC. AFC East New England Patriots Miami Dolphins New York Jets Buffalo Bills Whether the Pats were going to win this division wasn’t a question when they were only […]

The NFL might have a quarterback problem in the near future

The NFL is a league built around the quarterback position. An offense with the ability to chuck it around the field makes for a better, more exciting product and for this to happen it takes high-level throws. When you look at the position big picture the league is nearing a point where they need an […]

NFL Over/Under total selections

With the third week of the preseason a wrap for the NFL I figured it was a good time to give my over/under total picks.  For the win totals I used the lines from this story.  Here are the team lines I like: Philadelphia Eagles Over 9.5 +120  As predictions start rolling out it will […]

Dallas Cowboys defense takes big hit with loss of Orlando Scandrick

Dreadful news came from the Dallas Cowboys practice in Oxnard, California on Tuesday night.  The defending NFC East champions lost starting cornerback Orlando Scandrick for the entire 2015 season with a torn ACL and MCL in his right knee. In his seventh season as a pro, the once maligned member of the Dallas secondary not […]

San Diego Chargers had no choice with Philip Rivers

Some decisions in the NFL are simple to make. Number-one on that list is if you have a quarterback that is considered anywhere around the level of good or better you do everything in your power to keep him on the roster. This was the case with the San Diego Chargers and Philip Rivers. This […]

Review: Hard Knocks Houston Texans episode two

“Rick Ross woooooo.” “All over that like stink on shit.” Houston Texans head coach Bill O’Brien is on his way to being one of the more unexpected Hard Knocks legends. Guys like Rex Ryan, Bryan Cox and Chad Johnson you could see it coming — with O’Brien I didn’t expect this level of entertainment. He’s […]

Review: Hard Knocks Houston Texans episode one

It wasn’t as stirring as Rex Ryan’s training camp opening speech that started off the New York Jets season of Hard Knocks, but Houston Texans head coach Bill O’Brien’s pre-camp pep talk to his coaching staff got their strong premiere episode cooking quickly. “When you fucking guys show up to practice tomorrow,” O’Brien bluntly told […]

Cleveland Browns should be starting Johnny Manziel

Here is what Peter King from mmqb.si.com tweeted out when he visited Cleveland Browns training camp on Tuesday: BEREA, Ohio-Cle4: P Andy Lee a great acquisition … Johnny FB doing all right things, but McCown would have to be awful for Manziel to play. — Peter King (@SI_PeterKing)

Losing Arian Foster dampens Houston Texans hopes

After going 2-14 in 2013 the Houston Texans took a step in the right direction improving to 9-7 last season. Entering head coach Bill O’Brien’s second-year with the franchise they were hoping to take the next step to the playoffs this season. Houston had a point differential of 65 points, which their nine victories fell […]

Sheldon Richardson is down but not out

There’s an important distinction for what’s going on with New York Jets defensive end Sheldon Richardson — he’s at a crossroads of his career with the organization not a definitive end. The former number-13 overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft is still only 24-years-old. He’s made mistakes, but there’s no reason to write him […]
