I don’t have a problem with Terrell Owens skipping the Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony in August. I personally wouldn’t miss it but Owens beats to his own drum and he’s well within his rights to skip it. He also reserves the right to change his mind at some point.

While both Cousins and Garoppolo have earned their extensions, they are not in the elite class that Rodgers is. The Packers have maintained all along…

Trump and Eagles have a history of not getting a long. 1. Donald Trump pulling his White House invitation to the Eagles is a petty move.

The NFL owners voted on a new anthem policy at yesterday’s Spring League meetings. Under the new policy, anyone on the sideline is expected to stand for the national anthem.
