2019 NFL: Likes and Dislikes
Well, here we are. Is there anything worse than the week in between the championship games and Super Bowl Sunday. It’s like being forced to spend a week in purgatory, where the only football you see is either debated by talking heads or done poorly during the annual...
2019 NFL: AFC & NFC Championship Sunday
Most people think of Super Bowl Sunday as the official end to the football season. And technically, they might be correct, but most people who live and breathe this sport feel differently. The last true day of football is coming this weekend. Championship Sunday. The...
Previewing The NFL Divisional Round
Have you noticed? It’s surreal. The air seems cleaner. Food tastes better. The most foul bottle of water (cough, Dasani) rolls off your tongue like ambrosia. I just want to wrap myself in this feeling and slowly fall into a deep sleep and eventually die. That’s how...
