On Pete Carroll and how to be a great coach without being a jerk

Not many football coaches can dominate both college and the NFL. Jimmy Johnson was able to do so, but also ran so hot that it burned his relationship with Jerry Jones and he eventually burned out of coaching entirely after a few seasons with the Miami Dolphins. Pete Carroll has spent much of the las...

The Broncos have money problems with Russell Wilson, but at least they’re not the Browns

In case I did not make myself clear on Tuesday, the Deshaun Watson contract is never happening again. In the future, no NFL player will ever receive a fully guaranteed contract. For one thing, Patrick Mahomes is not going to push the Kansas City Chiefs for that type of deal. Two, when the Denver Bro...

Lamar Jackson might win MVP, yet no other teams wanted him during the offseason?

It was about nine months ago when Lamar Jackson wanted to be traded from the Baltimore Ravens. The best quarterback in the history of two forever-linked franchises — the Ravens and the Cleveland Browns — was on the open market.

Proximity to Aaron Rodgers once again working in Nathaniel Hackett’s favor

The great thing about fall guys in the NFL is they’re interchangeable. It could be a quarterback, a coordinator, a distraction, the head coach, the owner, or Roger Goodell, and usually there’s enough vitriol to spread around. Take the New York Jets for example. They’re one of the most scrutinized fr...

An 18-week NFL schedule creates a plethora of nexus points where the season diverts from its expected path. Aaron Rodgers tearing his Achilles four plays into the season, the New England Patriots crashing, CJ Stroud flying out the rookie gates, Frank Reich being fired after 11 games and two rookies ...

Courtland Sutton wants you to tell Russell Wilson you're sorry

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has seen enough and is convinced that Russell Wilson is owed an apology nine games into the season. He’s so committed to this notion that he posted a “Russell Wilson apology form” on his Instagram story, which is now circulating on Twitter....

A lot of NFL teams tanking for Caleb Williams already have a QB

If you’ve found yourself noticing more bad football than usual in the NFL, you’re not wrong. After five weeks, there are seven teams with one win or fewer, and none of them are the New York Jets, Houston Texans, or Washington Commanders. The New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots, ...

When the New York Jets are trolling your team, it’s all over

You know things have gone off the rails when the New York Jets social media team trolls you after a loss. That’s the reality for the Denver Broncos and head coach Sean Payton after falling to the Jets, 31-21. Payton had some choice words before the season aimed at former Broncos head coach and curre...

Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce and other high profile athlete-celebrity romances that make you go, 'Hmmm'

Even if you’re famous, having someone to cuddle with at night is still a priority. It’s harder in the public eye to keep who your bedmate is on the down low, and in some cases, wondering how these pairs came together is more interesting than their relationship itself. Have we seen a more notorious a...

The Miami Dolphins are a tidal wave that left Russell Wilson feeling washed

While Tua Tagovailoa is opening eyes around the league, he was simultaneously closing out an era as well. During Miami’s 70-20 drubbing of the Denver Broncos Tua Tagovailoa ended any hopes of a Russell Wilson Renaissance. It might be time to mummify Wilson. There are still 15 weeks remaining, but he...

The winless Patriots and Broncos are each other’s better halves this season

Bill Belichick and Sean Payton both being winless through two games has never happened. In fact, this is Belichick’s nadir since 2001, when Tom Brady was just a twinkle in his eye. Both coaches are masters of their domain and intense perfectionists. Unfortunately, their respective teams would only b...

Don't be fooled by the NFL teams that played above and below expectations in Week 1

Week 1 of the NFL season is in the books, and as usual, we’ve got some extreme overreactions to some of the action. We see this every year early on when teams play far above their expected output or well below. So, let’s figure out which teams may have fooled the masses during the opening week of th...
