Johnny Manziel may be one of the most electric college football players, but he's no stranger to controversy. This time, he may have landed himself at the center of attention, hinting that he may be heading to the NFL in 2014. First of all, Twitter is a dangerous tool, and I still don't know why […]

Cincinnati Bengals, SLIGHTLY DOWN: When you're at the top of a division, it's hard to gain much more. News broke this week that the Bengals are the team that will be featured on this year's "Hard Knocks" season. While it's not a huge issue, the added distraction of television exposure won't exactly help the Bengals. Baltimore Ravens, FLAT: Over […]

Terrell Owens was one of the great showmen of the NFL for a long time, but those days are gone. Unfortunately, Owens seems to enjoy hanging around far after his presence is no longer required. Earlier this week, Terrell Owens spoke on NFL Radio, and his latest target for employment appears to be Kansas City. […]

The news that

The Jets offense was a sad sight a season ago, and if reports out of OTAs are to be believed, that group may become an even more lethargic unit in 2013. That being said, for a change, help is on the way. With the addition of tight end Kellen Winslow, as reported by Mike Florio, […]

Lem Barney, a Hall of Fame cornerback, is convinced football, especially at the professional level, has become so big, strong, fast and violent that it will fade into oblivion over the next twenty years. "People often ask me do I miss the game, do I wish I could still play with all the money they’re […]

In what is becoming a repeating theme within the NFL, the Pittsburgh Steelers want upgrades to the stadium they call home, and they want someone else to pay the bill, or at least most of it. Per Deadspin, the Steelers are suing the SEA (Sports and Exhibition Authority) in hopes of forcing the SEA to […]

The line between confidence and arrogance is often razor thin. Sometimes, a player or a coach will say something meant to sound confident that falls on the other side of the line for everyone else. For me, that's exactly what happened when Rex Ryan tried to explain that he's not given enough credit for being […]

When 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree tore his Achilles, the 49ers suddenly found themselves without an offensive weapon they would have loved to keep. Now the team may be turning to Austin Collie to help fill out their wide receiving unit. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the 49ers were working out receiver Austin Collie today. While […]

Although it's admittedly beginning to feel like we're beating a dead horse, the Redskins' name issue is evolving, albeit slowly, and there's now a new wrinkle to the debate. Daniel Snyder has hired Frank Luntz, a conservative political consultant, to conduct a focus group assessing the general public's opinion of the NFL and the Washington […]

Last year, the Jacksonville Jaguars were a bad football team. There's no nice way of putting it. Their defense was poor, their offense was atrocious, and their biggest problem went largely un-addressed in the offseason. Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne are returning for at least another season with the Jaguars. Neither quarterback could provide the […]

At the forefront of modern social issues today is gay rights, and that focus has spread to sports as well. It's a given, statistically speaking, that there are gay athletes playing in high exposure professional sports, but to date, only one athlete from a major American sports league has come out as being openly gay. […]

You'll rarely see a quarterback be blamed for injuring a star defensive player, but that seems to be the case in Houston, as safety Ed Reed seems to believe that a questionable (dirty) move by Patriots quarterback Tom Brady may have led to his current him issues. Near the end of the AFC championship game, […]

Roger Goodell finally gave us his two cents on the Redskins' name issue, and in doing so, defended owner Daniel Snyder's position of keeping the team's name as is. Here's a portion of the explanation; the full letter to congress can be found here. "As you may know the team began as the Boston Braves […]

If anyone thought that the Patriots wouldn't be able to handle Tim Tebow and all the fanfare he brings with him, they clearly underestimated head coach Bill Belichick's dementor-like ability to suck all the happy-go-lucky feelings out of the room. Case in point, in Belichick's first press conference since the news broke, he fielded countless […]
