2018 NFL Week 5
We’ve been given a gift. The gift of interesting quarterbacks. It started in 2016 when Dak Prescott came out of nowhere and not only ended the Tony Romo era, he almost took the Cowboys to the NFC Championship game. 2017 was no different as Carson Wentz went from...
2018 NFL Week 4
I don’t know about you, but football is really coming in handy at the moment. I’m going to keep the preamble short this week, but I’ll start by saying this isn’t my full-time job. I spend a majority of my week working for a well-known online news organization. Which...

Previewing The 2018 NFL Draft
There’s no way a large portion of the American football-viewing audience hasn’t noticed this over the years.The NFL Draft is a ridiculous viewing experience. When you boil it down to its least common denominator, it’s a group of people in a giant auditorium. And every...
