With the draft closely approaching, we take a look... Read More

The time of year has finally come where families and friends gather around, eating copious amounts of food while watching football. Every Thanksgiving, the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions have games. In 2006, the NFL started adding a third game in primetime, with no specified teams.

Nine weeks down, seven to go. That is where we are at in the NFL season. There is still plenty of football to be played. This past week there was quite a bit to talk about. An NFL officiating crew once again botched a call on the field (go figure). Some teams made statements, both good and bad, in terms... Read More

$63 million guaranteed, the highest for a non-quarterback in NFL history and it went to who? That would be Philadelphia’s Fletcher Cox. Who is Fletcher Cox? He’s the “blank” time Pro Bowler that has been wreaking constant havoc on the defensive line for the Philadelphia Eagles. He entered the league as the 12th overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft....

Another year of the NFL Draft has come and gone, and this year’s draft, although knocked for not having an excess of elite talent, certainly did not disappoint in entertainment value. In the NFC North, after being heavily Packer dominated for the past decade, the other teams are finally catching up to the Green and Gold. The Vikings won the... Read More
