This is the time of year where I’d rather be watching A Christmas Story on repeat than suffering through a meaningless Dolphins game. Alas. Those are the only types of games we have. Ho. Ho. Ho. How mighty was Quinn? Rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers got his first NFL start on Sunday, leading the 6-8 Miami […]
On Tuesday, Cooper DeJean was named to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career. On Wednesday, Cooper DeJean was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week for the first time in his career. More from the official NFL announcement: DeJean recorded four tackles, a career-high four passes defensed and an interception in […]
The Seattle Seahawks’ win over the Los ANgeles Rams felt like two very different football games stitched together by halftime adjustments. The first half was sloppy, reactive, and at times frustrating on both sides of the ball. The second half, however, showed a team that corrected structural issues, leaned into schematic advantages, and played with […]
Who’s the best player in the NHL right now? What about the top five? Connor McDavid is the most talented player in the world. You could argue that Nathan MacKinnon is best player this season , which is a slightly different category. Leon Draisaitl is right behind those two. Kirill Kaprizov has the biggest contract, and he’s mostly lived up to it so far. On the blueline, the eternal Cale Makar vs. Quinn Hughes debate rages on. And in goal, Connor Hellebuyck is the reigning Vezina winner, not to...
Dan Quinn spoke to the media before today’s Christmas Eve practice. This is the team’s third, and final practice before they host the Cowboys on Christmas day.

The Houston’s Texans victory over the Las Vegas Raiders last Sunday may have been the first time in over a month that the entire team looked completely ill-suited for the moment. Considering how this season started, it’s remarkable that they were able to establish this kind of momentum, but they now risk losing it right […]
The wild ride that has been the Cairo Santos experience in 2025 took another twist on Wednesday with the veteran Chicago Bears kicker being named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week. Santos made all three of his field goals and his lone extra-point attempt in the Bears’ 22-16 overtime win against the Green Bay Packers. And while I imagine there were some other well-deserving recipients of the award, I imagine this put Santos over the top: ISSO É CAIRO SANTOS, MEU AMIGO!🤩 📺: #GBvsCHI ...
The Los Angeles Rams didn’t have a hard time scoring points without Davante Adams for most of their Week 16 game against the Seattle Seahawks and that’s something that Sean McVay will probably have to repeat at least two more times according to a report by ESPN on Wednesday. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the […]
This is a big development for those who want the Las Vegas Raiders to wave the white flag and tank for the No. 1 pick. Wednesday, four days before the Raiders host the fellow 2-13 New York Giants in a game that will have a major impact on determining the No. 1 overall draft pick […]
The Miami Dolphins are facing yet another critical offseason, but fans will be the ones left with coal in their stockings.
NFL.com – 24 (+1) “Rookie QB Tyler Shough became the Saints’ first 300-yard passer in two calendar years, and he did it while throwing to Chris Olave and a host of backups at receiver, with New Orleans’ top three running backs also out. Things were a little sluggish early, but after Taysom Hill converted a fake punt, Shough warmed up and the offense […]

The Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings face off in a game that has disappointingly low stakes. But On Paper lives on. I’ve previewed more than my fair share of “meaningless” football games, and I’m not going to stop now, despite Detroit’s playoff odds nearing astronomical and the NFL trying to ruin the holiday season. That […]
The betting market has no idea what to do with the San Francisco 49ers this season. Last week, oddsmakers installed the Niners as 5.5-point favorites. By the time the game kicked off, the line was down to 3.5, indicating that people with money who move markets believed the Colts were the right team. The 49ers […]

Second-round picks don’t spend two full seasons on the bench in today’s NFL. Players drafted that high are selected for a reason: to start, often immediately. And then there’s Blake Fisher. On a woeful offensive line, Fisher remained under lock and key, buried as the backup option. He’s been hidden, veiled as the proverbial break-glass […]
Stock Up Alec Pierce & Josh Downs The Colts’ young wide receivers carried most of the load on offense against the Niners, with Downs leading the team in catches and first downs, and Pierce having a rebound game after a quiet stretch posting over 85 yards and two touchdowns.
