Aaron Hernandez is innocent until proven guilty, but the evidence against him and the charges laid are not encouraging for those still holding onto hope that the 23-year-old tight end was somehow just in the wrong place at the wrong time. And while about 97 percent of NFL players remain upstanding citizens, the small minority […]

It's hard to make a joke about performance enhancing drugs. They've left a mark on all sports' credibility, and they've called into questions some of the greatest accomplishments in any givens sport, yet one Lions linebacker found a way to use PEDs as a way to compliment Adrian Peterson and his remarkable return to elite […]

In college football, we often see far more creativity than we do at the professional level. Part of that is simply due to the sheer number of teams in the college ranks versus the number in the NFL.

On paper and on media outlets everywhere, the Miami Dolphins seem to be one of the teams in the AFC ready to make the jump from mediocrity to relevance. Ryan Tannehill seems poised for a breakout year, and much of that speculation is based around the acquisition of receiver Mike Wallace. Unfortunately for the Dolphins, […]

A running joke that Jaguars rookie Denard Robinson will be used as an "offensive weapon" seems to be taken rather literally by the team. What used to be a joke has become reality, as the young player is listed as an "OW" on the Jaguars' roster, presumably meaning "offensive weapon." Robinson's number is in line […]

Maybe it's a Ron Rivera thing, because the Carolina Panthers certainly didn't possess this much bravado under John Fox.   One year ago, Panthers center Ryan Kalil took out a full-page ad in a local paper in order to guarantee a Super Bowl victory.
