This Given Sunday continues its division by division look around the NFL at what’s happened to date in free agency with a trip to the NFC North, where three teams are hoping for a division title and a shot at home field advantage throughout the postseason and one is just hoping to be respectable. Green […]

Get your schoolbags ready boys and girls because were about to go back to school. It’s that time of the off season where we “knowledgeable” and mighty staff writers at ThisGivenSunday.com dish grades on teams’ offseasons to date. I will examine my favorite NFL division, the not-so-balanced AFC East. New England Patriots (13-3, AFC Champion) […]

It has been a couple of up and down years for the Chiefs, as they went from division winners two years ago to a traveling infirmary last year. After everything went right, nothing could have gone more possibly wrong. How else do you explain having a new quarterback step in, fresh off the waiver wire, […]

Mark Sanchez is the New York Jets’ starting quarterback. Let that sink in for a minute. He is the New York Jets’ starting quarterback, yet he operates like he is the quarterback of a semi-pro team. There are few quarterbacks in the NFL that I’m more critical of than Tim Tebow, but one of them is […]

Alex Smith and the 49ers have kissed and made up. The quarterback who helped the 49ers win the NFC West and reach the conference championship game has re-signed with San Francisco, according to multiple reports. According to ESPN, it’s a three-year deal worth $24 million. There was no immediate word on how much of that […]

Shockwaves are resonating through the league from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell’s decision to suspend Sean Payton for a full season, and remove various other coaches, front office personnel and players (to be determined) from their jobs for extended periods of time. Saints fans (like our own Matt Yoder) are aghast. Former players now in the […]

Jets fans are waking up this morning, many for the first time, as fans of Tim Tebow. Tebowmania was reignited by the Broncos when they signed Peyton Manning to be their starting quarterback. The story only got better as the Jets seemingly completed a trade to acquire Tim Tebow yesterday afternoon, but they apparently didn’t […]

The verdict is in on a couple of fronts this afternoon. One of the top stories is that Tim Tebow has been traded to the New York Jets according to Adam Schefter. Denver traded quarterback Tim Tebow to the NY Jets. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter)

    Sean Payton suspended one year. Mickey Loomis 8 game and $500,000 fine. Saints fined $500,000 and a second round pick in 2012 and 2012. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter)

Kermit the frog once sang “It’s not easy being green,” well the song might have to be changed to its not easy being a fan of the “aqua and orange.” For second straight off-season the Dolphins have become the laughing stock of the NFL even surpassing the Raiders. Whether it was a failed attempt at […]

The NFL can be a strange league at times, and today is one of those times. Today, the Denver Broncos signed Peyton Manning, for my money the greatest quarterback in the history of the game, but that’s up for debate on a different day. Then, it became apparent that the Broncos would likely try to […]

As broken this morning by

Phillip Rivers got his fondest wish and Tim Tebow his newest nightmare when the Denver Broncos won the Peyton Manning sweepstakes. The elder Manning brother is the NFL’s most eligible quarterback who turned the tables on NFL teams. When you are Peyton Manning, teams sell themselves to you. The 8-8 Broncos made the playoffs when […]
