I remember when I first heard from a guy that he bought his BMW on Craigslist and thinking how ridiculous that seemed. Now, people can buy pretty much anything on the popular classified advertisement website, including a professional football team called the Titans.  No, not those Titans.  But if you're interested in the Indoor Football […]

Based on what players did in 2012 alone compared to the amount of money they counted against the salary cap, the super-awesome guys at Pro Football Focus ranked all 32 NFL teams based on the amount of value they got out of their rosters this past season.  And unsurprisingly, the NFC champion San Francisco 49ers […]

Shawne Merriman announced his retirement on Tuesday, giving us a chance to fully reflect on one of the strangest careers in NFL history — one that will turn him into a poster boy for steroids in football for many, many years to come.  During his first three years in the league, Merriman recorded more sacks […]

As a 29-year-old man who makes $16 million a year playing a kids game with a tremendous amount of vacation time, Larry Fitzgerald is a blessed man. And kudos to him for making the most of the fact that he's one of the most fortunate people in the world when it comes to having opportunities […]

Retractable roofs are fancy and cool. I get it. I remember when Toronto's SkyDome installed the first-ever fully retractable roof in 1989 and I'm still enamored by the process and the resultant experience.  But I also don't believe stadiums with retractable roofs — or roofs at all — are necessary in the majority of North […]

J.J. Watt is probably one of the most popular bachelors in Houston, and he's also a cool, fun dude. As a result, he has unsurprisingly become a hot commodity as prom season approaches. After all, there's this new trend in which celebrities are gaining nice publicity and improving Q ratings by attending proms with big […]

Yes, we live in a super politically correct world. One where you can't hire people for jobs based on ethnicity, gender or even sexual orientation. And so while I understand that the NFL Combine gives teams a chance to use unique methods in order to deeply probe those who they're considering paying six- or seven-figure salaries […]

By sending backup quarterback Alex Smith to the Kansas City Chiefs and gaining a 2013 second-round draft pick as compensation, the San Francisco 49ers will now have five picks in the first three rounds of the 2013 NFL Draft and 15 overall. The rich are certainly going to get richer, but San Francisco already has […]

With the 2013 NFL Scouting Combine in the books, here's how we view the top 10 picks going down in April's draft. Expect a lot to change, but it's fun to speculate anyway. 1. Kansas City Chiefs: Geno Smith (QB, West Virginia) — This changes if the Chiefs land Alex Smith but that hasn't been […]

It's easy to forget how informal yardage measurements are in the National Football League. After all, there's no such thing as gaining half a yard. It's either an eight-yard run or a nine-yard run.  With that in mind, a very clever gentleman named Jeremy Scheff calculated the margin for error under those circumstances in order […]

When Oakland Raiders defensive tackle Desmond Bryant was arrested on criminal mischief charges Sunday in Miami, a lot of folks wrongly assumed that initial reports were referring to Dez Bryant of the Dallas Cowboys. Turns out that wasn't the case, and we got visual confirmation with Desmond's mugshot, which is just…perfect. The best part? Dude's […]

It shouldn't surprise anyone that the only NFL team that possesses enough vanity to ride into annual league events with a gigantic bus decorated in the team's logo and colors is the Dallas Cowboys. Jerry Jones has been riding around in one for years, and now he has upgraded.  Details from David Moore of the […]

Starting on Monday, NFL teams will be able to start marking their territory on impending free agents by using the franchise tag to prevent a particular key player from becoming available on the open market when free agency arrives on March 12. Here's a look at 10 players who could be tagged. 1. Baltimore Ravens […]
