Calvin Johnson is stiff arming his way into retirement. I feel bad for Detroit Lions fans. For the second time in twenty years, they are going to lose their best player to early retirement. First it was Barry Sanders retiring in the prime of his career in 1999 and now its Calvin Johnson. Both put up monster numbers in a Lions uniform, especially Sanders. Both also inexplicably walked away. No…
Meet Howie Roseman. The man who cleaned house after Chip Kelly. Apparently the Philadelphia Eagles didn’t just want to fire Chip Kelly, they also wanted to move on from some of the players he acquired last off season. In the span of three hours, the Eagles traded linebacker Kiko Alonso and cornerback Byron Maxwell to the Miami Dolphins and running back Demarco Murray to the Tennessee Titans for draft compensation….
Ole Miss’ Laremy Tunsil has franchise left tackle potential. Its been a week since the combine and now that I have evaluated all of the numbers and each players performance, here is my first of four first round mock drafts. 1. Tennessee Titans: Laremy Tunsil, Offensive Tackle, Ole Miss: The Titans could go in a myriad of directions with this pick but Tunsil makes the most sense. He is the…
Your browser does not support iframes. Look, I can’t say I’m surprised that a Falcons coach asked Eli Apple if he likes men. I’m not saying I think Apple is gay. What I’m saying is, coaches and personnel executives have asked stupid questions like this at the combine for years. It’s not right but I’m not totally surprised either. I don’t think the coach should be fired but head coach…

Here are ten prospects that have some question marks heading into this weekend. I’ll be keeping an eye on them this weekend. 1. Carson Wentz,…
Chris Long’s release shouldn’t be a surprise. He hasn’t produced the last two seasons. The Los Angeles Rams shocked the football world yesterday by releasing linebacker James Laurinaitis, defensive end Chris Long and tight end Jared Cook in cost cutting moves. By cutting the three veterans, the Rams will save $24.375 million dollars. The team will carry $4.7 million dollars in dead money. The fact that they released the three…
Marshawn Lynch AKA Beast Mode announced his retirement on Sunday night right after the Super Bowl. Immediately after his announcement, football pundits everywhere began to ponder whether or not Lynch was a hall of famer. Here, let me put an end to this conversation. NO! Lynch has posted some impressive numbers the past five years in Seattle including four seasons of over 1,200 yards rushing or more. In his ten…
Peyton Manning is once again a world champion. I know Patriots fans don’t want to hear this but the fact of the matter is, Peyton Manning is now officially one of the three greatest quarterbacks of all time. Winning his second Super Bowl solidified Manning’s place as an all time great. Manning has been a thorn in the Patriots side throughout his career but you have to tip your…
Peyton finally gets Super Bowl number two and cements his legacy in the process. 1. Let’s start with the game. IT SUCKED! Look, I’m an offensive guy but I love a good defensive game. Defense wins championships but this game sucked. It was a mistake filled game with no flow. 2. Give John Elway credit. He realized that Peyton Manning was on the back nine of his career so…
Twelve years ago, the Carolina Panthers played in their first Super Bowl and lost a thrilling game to the New England. Some have called it the greatest Super Bowl of all time. I don’t know about that but it was a great game. Fast forward to 2016 and the Panthers are back in the bowl. There are a lot of similarities between the 2003 team and the 2015 team….
