This week in the locker March 09, 2024

We realize the enormity of saying “the most CONCACAF game ever,” as this particular region of the soccer world is literally where people throw ducks at balloons and nothing is the way it seems.

Leave it to the A’s and John Fisher to be three months late on the renderings for a ballpark that still feels like it has a better chance of being built in Narnia than it does in Vegas, and then to have it leak out a day after they meant it to: - Sam Fels Read More...

Should Broncos fans, or anyone, have faith in Denver’s front office anymore?

Nathaniel Hackett is who we thought he was, and the last time head coach Sean Payton won a ring the sports world was still a month away from being introduced to Brad Stevens and the Butler Bulldogs. Putting the Denver Broncos’ mistakes all on Russell Wilson’s shoulders is a cowardly move....

With Russell Wilson gone, Sean Payton can’t point the finger at anyone but himself

Now that the Denver Broncos have made their decision about moving on from the Russel Wilson era, it’s time for head coach Sean Payton to get serious.

Russell Wilson, the most sound and fury signifying the most nothing

One can’t help but wonder if Russell Wilson had just thrown that last pass in Super Bowl 49 into the third row how the rest of it might have played out. Seattle would likely have had consecutive Super Bowls, he’d be a god in the PNW, and perhaps everyone would have had more patience for the mountain...

Sean Payton has a Russell Wilson problem; Cam Newton fight nonsense; Bears owners trying to get over on school kids; Patriots ruled a failure by players

Earth to Sean Payton: Russell Wilson is still on the Denver Broncos’ roster. There is nothing the Denver coach can say to make that $85 million in dead salary go away. The NFL salary cap for the 2024 season will be $255.4 million. That dead money would account for a third of their cap space, and the...

When NFL teams say they have salary cap problems, don't believe them

It’s that time of year in the NFL when you’ll hear the term ‘salary cap’ about 100 times per day. Former Super Bowl-winning offensive lineman Mark Schlereth recently spilled the beans on the cap being fake and how the league/teams use fear tactics to make fans think it’s more significant than it is ...

With Russell Wilson on the outs in Denver, could QB-needy Pittsburgh be his next destination?

russell-wilson - Sports News, Headlines & Highlights | DeadspinWith Russell Wilson on the outs in Denver, could QB-needy Pittsburgh be his next destination?

The past few years have been less than ideal in the football life of Russell Wilson. After a Hall of Fame career in Seattle, Wilson finished out his time there with a whimper. He wasn’t horrible but some could see the decline coming and this included then-head coach Pete Carroll. The Seahawks shippe...

Just when you think we are almost out of the conspiratorial business, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell sucks us back in.

It might sound crazy, but Russell Wilson returning to Denver might be the best option

Russell Wilson’s first two years in Denver were a rollercoaster ride, to say the least. Tumultuous might be a better word for Wilson’s time as a Bronco, but that doesn’t mean it should automatically come to an end just because of a few bumps in the road.
