The Patriots no longer get the benefit of the doubt from me

Maybe the New England Patriots aren’t at fault for Deflategate. Maybe team employees went completely rogue while taking the air out of footballs, and maybe Tom Brady was indeed — despite being a typically meticulous, control freak of a quarterback — somehow oblivious to those shenanigans. Or maybe the Patriots were innocent across the board […]

Atlanta Falcons are interested in signing RB Montee Ball

The Atlanta Falcons are currently looking at starting either rookie Tevin Coleman or Devonta Freeman at running back. It isn’t the most ideal situation for their backfield and it appears that they are looking around to see if they can find another option in free agency. According to a report from Troy Renck, the Falcons […]

2015 NFL predictions: Looking at the AFC

It’s time for meaningless NFL predictions! I’ll put mine out in three sections: the AFC, the NFC and awards/playoffs. Here is getting things started with the AFC.

Carolina Panthers must make a push to sign WR Reggie Wayne

Robert Mathis could play for the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1

Robert Mathis is without question capable of making the type of massive impact that the Indianapolis Colts need to take their defense to the next level. He missed all of the 2014 season due to a torn Achilles, which there are still concerns about moving towards the 2015 season. According to Colts’ head coach Chuck […]

Myles White makes compelling case for playing time with Packers

Myles White is a rarely talked about talent that has sat on the Green Bay Packers’ practice squad for the last two seasons. He is looking to take a big step forward in 2015 and finally earn legitimate regular season playing time. That goal became much more possible when Jordy Nelson went down with a torn […]
