Howdy, y’all! We had a doozy of an NFL Draft and we’re right back at work analyzing the picks! Eight different writers (Joey Alibro, Jason Johnson, Scott King, John Kirkland, Joanne Kong, Bobby Pierson, Ryan Whitfield and Ha Kung Wong) have looked at the teams they mocked for in the previous article and commented on the picks the actual teams

Howdy, y’all! We all know that the NFL Draft is right around the corner, beginning on April 30th. And we all know that the choices that all 32 teams in the NFL make that night will be a significant part in whether they end up with the Lombardi Trophy and the 32nd pick in a future draft, or if they

This week, the NFL was handed another reprimand for its handling of a player conduct issue. Adrian Peterson’s case is just another example of the NFL’s inconsistent and haphazard rulings that do more to create tension with its players than it does to develop a consistent and firm message on how to address players’ off the field actions.

Spectacular dunks that make us jump out of our seats and wish we could do the same—Watching somebody run so fast it feels like they could fly. We all want that kind of speed (hello Usain Bolt).

Thinking about the super bowl, the one riddle that came to mind was the one that went—Pete and Repeat went into a store; Pete came out; Who was left?; Repeat! If Pete Carroll wants

For anyone who plays fantasy football (which is 98.4% of America, extrapolating from my own circle of friends) trying to find that one important impact player each week can mean the difference between a win or losing lots of money. For the super bowl, it’s the last chance before the long, cold, harsh and lonely winter (snowmageddon!, snowicane!) to make one last
