Week 2 usually comes with chaos, but with so many teams playing cupcake opponents (of course a couple of FCS teams won), things were rather subdued. Texas QB Arch Manning bounced back with 4 TD passes in 5 minutes, but he played San Jose State, so that doesn’t tell us a lot. (8) Clemson stormed…
The NCAA football season has finally arrived. We shouldn’t have as much chaos concerning the college football paradigm this year. Realignment has largely settled down for now, and the CFP’s biggest change was a shift to straight seeding. In case you weren’t with us last year, in these weekly posts, I discuss everything that happened…
The moment we’ve been waiting for is finally here. The Cowboys and Eagles kick off the 2025 season on Thursday in a much-anticipated matchup, but first, I thought I’d look at where the various teams stand on opening week. After all, we’ve now seen these teams in the preseason. Please don’t be mad if your…
Just like that, the preseason is over. It goes by quickly with only 3 games! Starters have had their chance to get in sync (the few who played at least), camp battles have been won and lost, and roster spots have been secured. Players now await the decisions of their front offices. Each team must…
Last season, we saw many more starters in week 2 than in week 1 of the preseason. This year, we got the opposite: a surprisingly high number of starters in week 1 while the stars almost all rested in week 2. Some squads indeed attempted to resolve some positional battles, but for the most part,…
Two teams kicked off the preseason last week, but NOW it’s officially preseason week 1. All 32 teams participated, and we learned a LOT! The Jaguars’ Travis Hunter made his (quiet) 2-way debut, two players somehow got themselves ejected from a preseason contest, two games ended in ties, and one game came to an early…
Welcome back to NFL football! We eagerly awaited the annual Hall of Fame Game, which featured the Los Angeles Chargers and Detroit Lions. It has been too long without football, and even though this tilt rarely includes much playing time for starters (if any), we had fun just getting back to the game. For once,…
Football is almost back! The first preseason game, the Hall of Fame game, takes place this Thursday. As we did last year, we’re going to try and make some predictions for the 2025 NFL season. Trying to forecast things before teams play an exhibition game is a fool’s errand, but you can’t deny that it’s…
We’re back once again with an article about returners! In what has become an annual feature special, we’re ranking the top 10 returners going into the upcoming NFL season. As always, both kick returners and punt returners will be evaluated. Neither type of returner will be favored over the other, but a player who does…
Free agency is slow right now, but it’s certainly not over. Plenty of impactful players are there for the taking, and they should all be signed once they find the right fit and acceptable contracts. June 1 has also passed, so new signings no longer impact a team’s compensatory draft pick formula. I thought we’d…
