Earlier today, the Chicago Bears pulled off a play they first tried over twenty-three years ago against the Green Bay Packers. Way back then, the special teams coordinator was Dave Toub, and the misdirection punt return featured Devin Hester with the deke, Johnny Knox with the return, and Corey Graham with the phantom flag that negated the play….
In the span of just a few months, the Los Angeles Dodgers became World Series champions then quickly pivoted to signing more talent for the roster. In the midst of the Dodgers’ championship run, the organization also signed a player for the future of the franchise. The Dodgers signed Bryan Lara from Guanajuato, Mexico. Lara,…
File this one under “a good problem to have.” The Los Angeles Dodgers officially have so many good players that they can’t fit them all under one roster. On Friday, it was announced that the team had come to terms with Korean infielder Hye-seong Kim. As a result, they had to boot former top prospect…
While their record may not indicate such, the Carolina Panthers potentially have a bright future in front of them. Bryce Young turned things up in the second half of the season, playing with the confidence that made him the No.1 overall pick in 2023. Due to Young’s emergence, the Panthers can put any quarterback talk on the…
New England Patriots rookie quarterback Joe Milton III said he’s been waiting all season for an opportunity to play in a regular-season NFL game, and he’s making the most of his opportunity.

The Indianapolis Colts have some big decisions to make as the 2024 regular season comes to an end.

Though it remains to be seen what happens, Adam Schefter of ESPN said Sunday on “NFL Sunday Countdown”…
When the Kansas City Chiefs take the field against the Denver Broncos on Sunday afternoon they’ll do so without a number of their key starters. Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes is among those riding the pine this weekend after the team locked up the No. 1 seed in the AFC on Christmas. In his place will be former Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback…
You could play the “What if” game for over a dozen scenarios since Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch took over for the San Francisco 49ers. What if Jimmy Garoppolo never tore his ACL? What if Deforest Buckner was never traded? What if the 49ers never traded up from No. 12 in 2021? What if Shanahan had…
As the Baltimore Ravens began celebrating their second-consecutive AFC North title, one of their unsung heroes on defense gave them a moment they’ll never forget. Nose tackle Michael Pierce, the heaviest player on defense at 355 pounds, dropped into coverage, jumped the route and scored the first interception of his career. Once he slid down to the…
I think it’s time to normalize the saying “The Curse of Andrew Luck”. Since Andrew Luck’s first injury in 2015, the Indianapolis Colts have been the face of mediocrity in the NFL. Never good enough to seriously compete and never showing serious potential. Andrew Luck’s sudden retirement in 2018 put the team in a downward spiral, one…
The Green Bay Packers could be dangerous once the playoffs kick-off. At this point, it’s unclear who the Packers will face in the playoffs. If they end up as the No. 7 seed, they will face the Philadelphia Eagles. If they have the No. 6 seed, their opponent isn’t determined yet. Everything comes down to…
It wasn’t until Year 3 of his possible Hall of Fame career that Fletcher Cox made his first Pro Bowl. Jalen Carter did it in two. The defensive tackle stepped up big time after Cox retired following last season, leading a defense that is ranked first in the league heading into the final weekend of…
