What are we going to do with no game today? I don't know about you guys, but bye weeks make me feel lost. I get into a rhythm in the off season...

Every time Burfict hits someone with his helmet, his own CTE gets worse. This is going to come back and bite the NFL. One day when Burfict is...

We have the Pirates too. 23 seasons below .500 puts everything in perspective. And in the pre Mario era, there was hardly a hockey fan in...

I see this comment a lot, but in reality, since Tomlin took over, NE and NY Giants have won 2 SuperBowls, Pittsburgh, NO, GB, Baltimore, Denver, and...

If I owned the Bengals, I'd release him. The Bengals have no chance of winning with a clown like this on the team. On the AB hit last week, he...

Great point. But it goes to show 1st rounders aren't as valuable as proven NFL talent and it could be worth it trading away for a top player. ...

Pat is 2 years younger than AB. Plus maybe he'd want to play for the same team as his cousin Bryant McFadden ;)
