Two rounds of the NFL playoffs are in the books this year, with Championship weekend coming up. Are there any former members of the Cleveland Browns who will still be playing (or on a team’s roster) this weekend?

The Miami Dolphins need a veteran quarterback, and Packers QB Malik Willis is going to be a free agent. You do the math.
Over this past weekend, the Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks, Denver Broncos, and New England Patriots advanced to championship weekend, by beating the Chicago Bears, San Francisco 49ers, Buffalo Bills, and Houston Texans respectively.

After another weekend of games we are down from four Gophers left to three as Jack Gibbens’ Patriots took out Aireontae Ersery’s Texans. The pair of ex-Gophers on Seattle moved on after a wipeout of San Francisco as well. Thus after this weekend we will know if Minnesota has 0, 1, 2, or 3 former […]
Everybody has been wanting to see it, so I decided to do it. The amount of jaw-dropping throws Caleb Williams has had this season has been remarkable. Every week, he seems to come up with an amazing throw that you think, “Well, that can’t be topped,” and then a week later, he does. These are […]
Dennard Wilson, who was let go by new Tennessee Titans coach Robert Saleh yesterday, has interviewed for the defensive coordinator position with the Los Angeles Chargers.

This is a strange time for San Francisco 49ers fans. The team qualified for the NFC playoffs, but isn’t playing in the NFC Championship game.

One of the highlights from the season-ending press conference held by Chicago Bears General Manager Ryan Poles was his response to a question about the challenges ahead and how he reacted to a quick, playful question about trading for Las Vegas Raiders star edge rusher Maxx Crosby. For what it’s worth, Crosby has publicly expressed his admiration for Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson and quarterback Caleb Williams . So with his future in Vegas up in the air based on events that happened late i...

The Milwaukee Brewers play big. The zythophilian juggernauts of the NL Central have the same number of division titles as the Dodgers over the past half decade. They’ve been punching down on the incompetent and/or uncompetitive clubs in their division, while managing to outmaneuver the Chicago Cubs, and pushing the St. Louis Cardinals into their […]

The Dallas Cowboys made a decision on Thursday afternoon and went with Christian Parker to be their new defensive coordinator. Let’s stipulate at the very beginning that this move may fail.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay is set to make his third conference championship appearance, the same number as Mike Tomlin in 19 seasons.
