Getting you set ahead of puck drop.
I hope Ryan Poles and the Chicago Bears see this message. Actually, no, I don’t. Because I hope Poles is on the phone right now—I mean it, as we speak—with the New York Giants after Adam Schefter just broke the news that All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence has just requested a trade and will not […]

Back in September, after a three-game start revealed a couple of flaws (despite some highlights), I penned an article that broke down the Buffalo Bills’ defense compared to prior years that had sustained success. My conclusion was that the 2025 unit was overall lacking in talent compared to the better years of the Sean McDermott […]

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Easter long weekend…I certainly am happy that I used a few holiday days to stretch it to a full 7 days without doing my day job. Moving on to look at the Western Conference’s wildcard race before action gets underway on Monday. The Winnipeg Jets are currently 3 points behind the Nashville Predators & Los Angeles Kings, who are tied for the 8th and final spot. The San Jose Sharks are only 2 points back of those clubs and 1 up on the Jets, while the St. Loui...
When you ask certain questions for the fans you always have an idea of where things will end up. At least you expect to. So, last week when I asked where you would want the Arizona Cardinals to draft Ty Simpson I strongly expected to see the highest percentage of respondents to be what it […]
The 2026 NFL Draft is less than three weeks away and the New England Patriots continue the process of finishing their board. Things will look quite different for the team this draft picking 31st overall after back-to-back years selecting in the top-five. While Drake Maye is a big reason in that, New England is expected […]

As the 2026 NFL Draft approaches, fans and analysts will be firing up their mock draft machines in hopes of creating a perfect first round; however, ESPN writer Bill Barnwell has taken a different approach.

It might physically kill a top-100 player to run agility drills this year.

It’s NFL Draft Season! Before you read, some important context… I’ve ranked these players based on the Eagles’ needs and scheme fit. So while I may rate player ‘X’ higher than player ‘Y’ on pure talent, ‘Y’ could rank higher here due to fit or need. Focus more on tiers than exact order. Players in […]
Last week, I asked you to predict who would lead the Tennessee Titans in receiving yards in 2026: Wan’Dale Robinson is the pretty heavy favorite there. It makes sense given the success Robinson had the last couple of years in Brian Daboll’s offense. He will have a leg up on the rest of the guys […]
