A peaceful Christmas featuring a walk back from church, a trip to my pops (where I think he enjoyed the batch of peanut butter blossom cookies I made him), and a night watching Return of the Jedi (dueling red and green lightsabers makes it a Christmas movie to me!) really hit the mark. Plus, I didn’t have to argue with anyone about the Bears or quarterback Caleb Williams. I hope your day was as wonderful as mine. Happy Friday, friends.

Entering the game, Dak Prescott discussed his intention to play the last two games of the season, as he said, to not “cheat” the game. Once the opening whistle sounded, the game turned from a one-sided affair to a classic, tight NFC East finish, regardless of who was in the lineup for either team. The […]

The Kansas City Chiefs entered their Week 17 matchup against the Denver Broncos with nothing tangible at stake; there was no path to the postseason and no realistic way to climb the standings. Yet on a cool Christmas night on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City played like a team that still believed the […]

Another week, another UGLY win. This time, Houston inched their way past the Las Vegas Raiders in one of the more mediocre performances in the DeMeco Ryans era. The offense looked stumped and the defensive line finally showed cracks. Whether the Texans are playing like a “playoff team” or not, they’re at the precipice of […]

A pair of Minnesota Vikings set records on Thursday afternoon in the team’s 23-10 victory over the Detroit Lions. Since it’s time to talk about the positives that came out of the victory, let’s talk a bit about them now. The first one is a record that I think a lot of us expected to […]

Obviously, there is a theme over the last week and throughout the whole season. The theme is that the offense sucks and many people still think Nick Caley needs to be shown the door. I came out a little over a week ago and argued that Caley should stay even though I had been banging […]

The Chargers have waited almost an entire calendar year to get a shot at revenge against the Texans. Back in January, Houston’s defense picked off Justin Herbert four times en route to bouncing the Bolts from the postseason in a game many in The Bolt wish they could completely forget. The thing is, whatever motivation […]

A lot has changed since the last time I wrote one of these. The Chicago Bulls haven’t lost a game, and they suddenly look like a team climbing instead of sliding backward. Meanwhile, the NBA is floating ideas to discourage tanking, which only gives the Bulls more reason to keep pushing for wins. For us, that means we need to rethink our trade targets, not just guys projected late in the lottery , but maybe players outside of it altogether.

If you want to be the best… Last weekend, Houston Texans offensive coordinator Nick Caley seemed to do everything he could to let the Las Vegas Raiders beat the Texans in what should have been an H-Town blowout. Now, we all know the margin between good team and bad one in the NFL is pretty […]

The Minnesota Vikings’ passing game was not exactly a work of art in their 23-10 victory over the Detroit Lions on Christmas Day. Anyone who watched the game can assure you of that. The aenimic nature of the offense and the fact that the Vikings won anyway just shows that there are a lot of […]

The Jets placed quarterback Justin Fields on injured reserve this week, officially ending the quarterback’s season. It was an academic move. There was virtually no chance that Fields was going to play again this season. Placing Fields on IR allowed the Jets to add an additional player to the roster before the end of the […]

In reality, it’s the kind of game that tests discipline, preparation, and patience — especially for a Seahawks team still fighting to control its own destiny to be the seed 1 in the NFC.
