2019 NFL: Week 14
Another coaching head has rolled down the road into unemployment before the end of the regular season. This time, the unlucky man was Ron Rivera. Were you surprised? It was hard not to be. After all, this was a man who just a few years ago had the Carolina Panthers in...
2019 NFL: Week 12
Things are coming to a head in Week 12. Several potential matchups with juicy implications, playoff or otherwise. But there’s one game that’s making me excited -- and a little scared, if I’m being honest. The Rams are fresh off their decidedly uninteresting win over...
2019 NFL: Week 11
Colin Kaepernick has an NFL tryout on Saturday. I repeat, Colin Kaepernick has an NFL tryout on Saturday. The news hit on Tuesday and it was met with surprise at first. People honestly didn’t know what to say at first. Kaepernick’s name hadn’t exactly been in the news...
2019 NFL: Week 10
This is when things really get interesting. With Week 10 upon us, it’s time to start taking the playoff picture seriously as every team has played at least eight games. If the regular season ended now, the only surprise playoff team would be the Bills. The teams that...

2019 NFL: Week 7
There’s nothing more American than the comeback story. Maybe it was the Puritan influence in the early going of this nation that made it so since there’s no bigger example of a successful rebound than Jesus. Fast forward through the years and the names and tales are...
2019 NFL: Week 6
It’s just the start of Week 6 and we’ve already had our first head coaching casualty. Most people probably aren’t surprised at who got the ax, as Jay Gruden was coming off back-to-back 7-9 seasons and started 2019 with an 0-5 record. While the average fan approaches...
