Week one matchup could feature Jameis Winston vs. Marcus Mariota

The topic has been danced around here and there, but post draft the table is now set for the possibility of the top two drafted players facing off in a week 1 season opener. That would of course be two quarterbacks, Tampa Bay’s Jameis Winston (drafted from Florida State) and Tennessee’s Marcus Mariota (Oregon). Indeed […]

NFL passes rule turning XP into a 32 yard attempt

Tony Romo joins Twitter, immediately complains about “the catch”

Over the last couple of days, Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo finally gave in and joined Twitter.

Jets fans buy billboards to troll Tom Brady, Patriots

The New York Jets were not one of the central figures involved in the Deflate Gate scandal but that hasn’t stopped their fans from having some fun at the expense of the New England Patriots.

Who will start at quarterback for the New York Jets?

The Jets recently added a fifth quarterback to their roster after their rookie mini camp. Despite already having four players at that position on the roster, the Jets thought enough of former BYU, Kansas and Miami quarterback Jake Heaps to have him compete with their crop of passers. This was a surprise as Heaps performed […]

Patriots fans protest in NFL office lobby; get arrested

Dante Fowler’s lost rookie season delays a potential slump-busting experience for the Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars haven’t been good in a long time. A lot of that can be traced back to the fact they haven’t found a reliable quarterback since the Mark Brunell days, but don’t discount the fact the Jags have for years failed to find somebody who can consistently produce as a pass-rusher. Some facts: […]

How do the Patriots replace Tom Brady?

Reviewing New England’s early-season options if indeed Tom Brady’s suspension holds up to start 2015: 1. Jimmy Garoppolo: This is easy. Garoppolo is already on the roster as the backup quarterback, and the Patriots used a second-round pick on the Eastern Illinois product last year for a reason. He presumably knows this offense well, and although […]

Jimmy Garoppolo faces a tough test in his first NFL starts

The NFL did more than drop a hammer on the New England Patriots and their quarterback Tom Brady with its Deflategate ruling. A four-game suspension of Brady along with stripped first- and fourth-round picks and a $1 million fine is the league’s attempt at an Antonio Brown dropkick. A suspension for Brady was fully expected. […]
