“We will be able to accurately diagnose CTE during a person’s life, perhaps in the next five to 10 years.” That’s one hell of a forecast from Dr. Robert Stern, professor of neurology at the Boston University School of Medicine, and the clinical core director of BU’s Alzheimer’s and CTE Center in Boston, per Peter King […]

I love football and I hate football

0 comments by on 3/31/2016

You’re allowed to love football, and we’re allowed to judge you for loving football, just as you’re allowed to hate football and we’re allowed to judge you for hating it. We don’t share identical preferences or identical morals, and the world is a better place for it. Some people may believe — based on the […]

Best strategy for Denver Broncos? Create a QB competition

0 comments by

The Houston Texans signed quarterback Brock Osweiler away from the Denver Broncos, but what a lot of people may not realize is Houston’s 2015 quarterback, Brian Hoyer, was actually much better on paper than Osweiler last season. And it looks as though Hoyer might soon be available for a lot less than the $18 million […]

NFL should be crushed for key part of New York Times concussion story being overlooked

0 comments by on 3/30/2016

There’s been a lot of buzz about a New York Times story from last week which revealed that the NFL had allegedly excluded as many as 100 concussions from its six-year research sample on the subject at the turn of the century, mainly due to the fact the article strongly attempts to link the league to Big Tobacco. […]

Why does Reggie Nelson remain unsigned?

0 comments by

Nearly a month into free agency, the NFL’s reigning interception co-leader remains out of work. How is it that Reggie Nelson, who in 2015 had eight picks, two fumble recoveries, 50 tackles and was graded by Pro Football Focus as the fourth-best safety in football, still hasn’t signed with somebody? It’s ridiculous. The man is […]

Could Jalen Ramsey be the first overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft?

0 comments by on 3/29/2016

Florida State defensive back Jalen Ramsey is supposed to think he’s the best player in the 2016 NFL draft, but it’s entirely possible the three-time All-American playmaker is good enough to wind up atop the draft in four weeks’ time. The key for Ramsey, who might be the most gifted player in this year’s draft class, […]

Assuming he starts Week 1 — and right now, the odds probably favor it — Robert Griffin III will become the Cleveland Browns’ 25th starting quarterback in an 18-season span. Back in December, we gave you everything you needed to know about the 24 quarterbacks who had started for Cleveland since 1999. Now, we rank […]

The top 10 free agents still on the market

0 comments by

Free agency in 2016 is largely done and it’s unlikely any team will land a real difference maker at this stage of the game. That said, there is still depth to be had out there. Below are the ten best players available that could help a lot of teams and easily make most 53 man […]

Indianapolis Colts, Andrew Luck might be better off waiting for extension

0 comments by on 3/28/2016

Blue-chip young quarterback Andrew Luck is entering the final year of his rookie deal, which has many expecting the Indianapolis Colts will sign him to a long-term extension before 2017 arrives. That makes some sense because the Colts clearly aren’t going to let Luck come close to free agency, especially considering we now live in […]

Lawrence Taylor already considers J.J. Watt a top-four all-time defensive player

0 comments by David Lauterbach on 3/27/2016

Who would you put on a Mount Rushmore of best NFL defensive players ever? Well if you’re Lawrence Taylor, J.J. Watt would be on there. The Houston Chronicle noted Taylor’s bold claims about the Texans’ defensive star. “That J.J. Watt is a bad SOB,” Taylor said Saturday during an appearance at Fiterman Sports Memorabilia at […]

Matthew Stafford wasn’t shocked by Calvin Johnson’s retirement

0 comments by David Lauterbach

Matthew Stafford had a big advantage in each of his first seven seasons in the NFL; Calvin Johnson  was on his team. But with the 2016 season just a couple months away, the 2009 number one overall pick now has to prepare to not have that advantage. Stafford spoke about Johnson’s retirement during a coaching […]

Why exactly does NFL officiating require a “human element”?

0 comments by

Nostalgia is powerful and change is scary. That dynamic makes it difficult for many of us to fully embrace technology, even if it would benefit us greatly. And naturally, it is generally easier for those who have spent much of their lives surrounded by modern technology to accept and grasp the potential changes that have been made […]

The NFL should just eliminate kickoffs

0 comments by

If the NFL is so afraid of the impact kick returns have on injury statistics, the league should consider taking a bold route and removing the play from the game entirely. In another attempt to decrease returns, the league passed a rule on Wednesday which moves touchbacks to the 25-yard line, but officials admit that […]
