5. AFC East 4 of 8 2025 Results: 36-32 record, 2 playoff teams (lost DIV, lost SB) Reigning Champs: New England Patriots (14-3) The New England Patriots didn’t fare well in Super Bowl LX, but they reached the NFL’s biggest stage and have since addressed two of their biggest needs. Rookie first-round pick Caleb Lomu […]

The Minnesota Vikings went from winning 14 games to not even making the playoffs last season. Clearly, quarterback play took a massive toll on Kevin O’Connell’s team’s ability to succeed, which is why they may not be as sold on J.J. McCarthy as they once were. As such, it’s hardly surprising to know that Kyler Murray […]

Yes, the Stallions may be checking out of Birmingham. Beyond the conspicuous absence of Birmingham from the list of UFL teams looking for a head of business operations, UFL co-owner Mike Repole has made it clear that a relocation is possible if not likely. “Sitting in a senior leadership meeting planning the [the UFL] 2027 […]

Last year’s Super Bowl participants are both trying to lock up their star cornerbacks with long-term extensions before the start of the regular season. But the Seahawks’ negotiations with Devon Witherspoon and the Patriots’ with Christian Gonzalez are intrinsically tied together. Both players were drafted in the first round of the 2023 draft – Witherspoon […]

Paige Bueckers will return to the lineup for the Dallas Wings against the Portland Fire after missing one game, per Alexa Philippou of ESPN. Bueckers missed Monday’s game against the New York Liberty after exiting Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Sparks after a scary collision with Nneka Ogwumike. The Wings star was playing defense […]

The shocking dismissal of Ryan Clark from ESPN after a decade with the company was just one of many expected layoffs throughout the remainder of the week. Those layoffs continued Tuesday, with notable names from ESPN and the NFL Network fired, such as Tom Pelissero, Karl Ravech, Cam Newton, David Lloyd and Bart Scott, just […]

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark and Minnesota Lynx guard Kayla McBride were invited to participate in the WNBA’s 3-Point Contest but declined the opportunities, per ESPN’s Alexa Philippou. Sabrina Ionescu also reportedly declined, per Philippou, but the New York Liberty guard later told reporters she was never invited. “Whether it’s against Steph Curry or in […]

On Monday, the Seahawks placed second-year safety Nick Emmanwori on the active/physically unable to perform list without any word as to what landed him there. That information came today as ESPN’s Brady Henderson reported that the starting defender had undergone ankle surgery. Per Henderson, Emmanwori will be forced to miss time in training camp, but […]

It’s been well established that ESPN informed NFL analyst Ryan Clark that he was being let go while he was on the air. And Clark has chimed in on how it went down. On Tuesday night, TMZ (which was a little late to the party on this one) reiterated the reporting from Andrew Marchand of […]

Recent reports indicated that it isn’t a lock that defensive superstar Aaron Donald will end his retirement and rejoin the Los Angeles Rams to play alongside two-time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett later this fall.  During a recent interview with NFL insider Jason La Canfora of “The Daily Flock” podcast, Rams head coach Sean McVay […]

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is ready to lead his team back into Super Bowl contention behind a new offensive leader. Goff is adjusting to a new coordinator for the second time in as many offseasons now that the Lions have brought in former Arizona Cardinals OC Drew Petzing to replace John Morton. Morton ceded […]

JULY 22: Brissett will report to Cardinals training camp on Wednesday, per Ben Volin of the Boston Globe, but he is unlikely to participate in practice until his contract is adjusted to his satisfaction. Going down the ‘hold-in’ path will preclude daily fines for missing practice, though he will still be docked if he is not […]

The Seahawks made a change to their 90-player roster on the eve of training camp. Seattle signed cornerback Brandon Johnson and cut tight end Harrison Bryant on Tuesday. Johnson signed with the Eagles as an undrafted rookie out of Oregon last year and played in three games as a rookie, spending most of the season […]

ESPN executives apparently did not forget about Ryan Clark’s on-air squabble with former colleague Peter Schrager. Clark was filming an episode of “NFL Live” on Monday when ESPN fired him after over a decade serving as an analyst for the “Worldwide Leader.” A report from The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand detailed what went into the network’s […]

ESPN’s clunky rollout of the latest round of layoffs, which included a long list of recognizable names, came at a time when ESPN is reportedly closing in on paying Pat McAfee $60 million per year. That juxtaposition (triple word score) has created an obvious slew of what’s-wrong-with-this-picture? complaints. McAfee addressed the pink-slip elephant in the […]

Steelers training camp will see Aaron Rodgers resume padded practices with a number of familiar faces. How the rest of the team’s quarterback depth chart will take shape remains to be seen, though. Veteran Mason Rudolph is joined by 2025 sixth-rounder Will Howard and third-round rookie Drew Allar. Rodgers is a roster lock, but only two of the remaining three passers […]

The Dallas Stars have locked in one of the NHL’s top goal scorers for another season. The Stars announced Tuesday that they have signed Jason Robertson to a one-year, $12 million contract to avoid arbitration. He’s once again eligible for a contract extension on January 1, 2027. “Jason has been a cornerstone of our franchise […]

The New York Giants are obviously hoping and praying that this is the year the team finally earns some respect again. It’s been a rough go for the Giants. Their 4-13 record last season wasn’t pretty. Their 3-14 record the year before was even uglier. But, help is on the way. Now, the team is […]

One of my all-time favorite jokes (which may or may not be the untold “joke” from Big Shield) is a simple one that was told by David Letterman during a week of shows from Las Vegas in 1987. It went like this. (And, yes, I found the episode on YouTube.) “Something really odd happened to […]

49ers cornerback Renardo Green was a full-time starter in 2025, but as he enters his third season, his spot may not be secure. Green will go into training camp “on the hot seat,” per Cam Inman of the Mercury News. The 49ers spent a second-round pick in 2024 on Green, who went 64th overall after […]

Retired point guard Patrick Beverley may not have the answers on LeBron James’ free agency after all. Beverley wrote Monday morning that “rumor has it Bron makes his decision today.” The day came and went without James agreeing to a deal. That brought a response from Beverley on Tuesday: This article will be updated soon […]

Back in March, New York Giants right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor insisted that he thought at the time that second-year pro Jaxson Dart was “going to be one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL this upcoming season.”  It appears nothing happened during the Giants’ offseason program to change Eluemunor’s mind regarding his Dart prediction. Jermaine Eluemunor: Jaxson Dart is “going […]

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni says his new offensive coordinator, Sean Mannion, has proven himself before calling a single play. Sirianni says the work ethic Mannion has displayed this offseason is showing how hard he’s going to try to improve the Eagles’ offense. “This dude loves football and he loves to work,” Sirianni said, via […]

Time is running out for the Buccaneers to work out a Baker Mayfield extension if he holds firm on his self-imposed negotiating deadline. Training camp is approaching, but another round of contract talks should be forthcoming. Tampa Bay is “prepared to dive in on” negotiations this week, Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated reports. Earlier this offseason, Mayfield […]
