Unfortunately for us, we don’t quite know what the rookie class is going to look like just yet, but that didn’t stop the NFL from releasing its full preseason slate Wednesday afternoon. As usual, there are a nice handful of nationally televised games every week and the NFL Network will show every game, either live or in replay. More
To no one’s surprise, the Los Angeles Rams weren’t done in with their pre-draft trade spree. While the Rams were attached to any trade talk with the New York Giants and Odell Beckham Jr., it’ll be Brandin Cooks that will step in as the team’s new deep threat after they completed a swap with the New England Patriots.

When Super Bowl LIII is kicked off in Atlanta on Feb. 3, 2019, will we get two new teams matched up for the Vince Lombardi Trophy? The oddsmakers don’t seem to think so. Taking a look at the 2018 Super Bowl Futures, it’s clear the books are banking on a rematch between the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles. More
Now you know why I give these things at least a few days to percolate. You never know what quick, and even desperate, moves a team will make after watching its season end in a loss. For the New England Patriots, it was upping offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels’ cash number on his contract and, presumably, promising him the job to take over for Bill Belichick when he retires. Probably after next season. More
In a stunning turn of events Tuesday night, Josh McDaniels announced he was withdrawing from the Indianapolis Colts’ head coaching position and will stay with the New England Patriots as their offensive coordinator for another season. Yes. That face you’re making right now is accurate. More
Never has taking a loss in my straight up picks felt so good. I woke up this morning with a spring in my step. The air never smelled so sweet. The New England Patriots fell to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII and all is right with the world. More
Our wait is over. Pro Bowls have been played as well as all the college All-Star games leading up to this Sunday at 6:30 p.m EST. Someone will butcher the National Anthem, the NFL will pray every player stands and doesn’t cause a scene and Super Bowl LII will be played. It’s a national holiday and, like most Super Sundays, the New England Patriots (15-3) have crashed the party. More
Sometimes it’s no fun being right. I nailed both NFC and AFC championship picks, straight up and against the spread, and I feel terrible. This NFL season was great in that we had so many new teams fight to get a seat at the big boys’ table. But, in the end, the same old schoolyard bully showed up to screw everything up. More
A Championship Weekend that started out with all the intrigue of an episode of Dora the Explorer has turned into a an Agatha Christie page-turner. We’ll get to see the whole drama play out early Sunday when the Jacksonville Jaguars (12-6) travel to Gillette Stadium to take on the New England Patriots (14-3). More
If it’s not occurred to you just yet, let me put this thought into your head. The NFL final four quarterbacks currently vying for the Super Bowl 52 title are Case Keenum, Nick Foles, Blake Bortles and Tom Brady. Let that really sink in. Marinate on it. Never in the history of the NFL has there been a bigger gap in talent and ability than three of those guys and the future Hall of Famer who will almost certainly destroy at least two of them in head-to-head match ups. More
It’s a glorious day in Music City, U.S.A. as the Tennessee Titans and head coach Mike Mularkey have consciously uncoupled. The coach and team have agreed to “part ways.” More
Oh, dear God. This is happening and there’s no way we can stop it. Mike Mularkey is bringing the Tennessee Titans (10-7) into Gillette Stadium Saturday night to face off against the defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots (13-3), led by Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. More
