Dan Pompei of the National Football Post reported on Sunday that the league has discussed the […]

Single dudes in their twenties, especially those with seven-figure salaries, usually like to party. I don't blame them. As a fan, I accept that. This silly notion that those who play for our favorite teams can't have social lives infuriates me. So long as he isn't breaking laws or risking his life or career, what […]

The New Orleans Saints are going through big-name defensive coordinators at a startling rate. New Orleans will have its third defensive coordinator in three years in 2013, with Rob Ryan taking over for the fired Steve Spagnuolo.

Quarterback wins don't exist. Team wins do. Quarterbacks wins don't.  I feel like I'm beating a dead horse here but the equine just won't die no matter how hard those of us with a proper knowledge of the game of football smack away. Poor guy. The point is that I don't care how many playoff […]

If you're making the salary of an average American adult, justifying buying tickets for the Super Bowl can't be an easy thing to do. Sure, it's once-in-a-lifetime experience, but is it worth the price of a trip to Australia just to get inside the stadium rather than watch on TV?  The good news is that […]

Those who choose to hate on Super Bowl XLVII will surely point swiftly to the unsexy quarterback matchup. After years of being spoiled in the Super Bowl by guys like Brady, Manning, Manning, Brees, Rodgers and Roethlisberger, we're left with a matchup between Joe Flacco and Colin Kaepernick.
