Barcelona star Raphinha felt his team showed the right spirit to down Atletico Madrid 3-1 at Camp Nou on Tuesday and move four points clear at the top of the table. Atletico took the lead in the game but Raphinha levelled shortly afterwards. Robert Lewandowski then missed from the penalty spot but Barca won thanks […]

When I saw Miami at 12 in the latest CFP poll, initially, I thought that’s not good for Miami. Then Notre Dame dropped a spot to 10. Oddly enough, Alabama moved up a spot after barely surviving 5 win Auburn. Nevermind, they have a loss to one of the ACC’s worst teams, Florida State. That’s … Continue reading »

Well, that went the way we wanted, but maybe not the way we wanted it done!?! I am, of course, talking about the last game our Miami Dolphins played against the New Orleans Saints. Miami did their normal thing against bad teams, where they seem to dominate the game overall while also finding any way […]

Oh, baby! The Chicago Bears decided to give the Haters the middle finger on Black Friday and announce to the NFL world that they are for real. The Haters are still clinging to “Oh, well, the Eagles are collapsing! They still haven’t beaten anyone!” Beat the Packers, and they’ll blame the Tucker Kraft injury. It’ll […]

The Dallas Cowboys are rolling with a three-game win streak, two of those games coming against last season’s Super Bowl participants. Now they have to travel to Detroit to face the Lions, a team that is trending in the other direction. The Lions have lost two of their last three leading to a 7-5 record. […]

Not the head coaching news that some Cleveland Browns fans want to hear, but college head coaching news tied to the team’s history is the news nonetheless. College football has been a little bit of the wild west over the last month or so. The Lane Kiffin drama with Ole Miss and LSU was the […]

1. The Chicago Bears (9-3) and New England Patriots (11-2) are the two best teams in their respective conferences. Just like we figured before the season, right? Two teams led by second-year quarterbacks with new head coaches, at that. In the weirdest year of NFL football we’ve seen in a while, it’s perfect to see […]

One of my favorite things about the first year of following the Ben Johnson experience has been that he does not mince words. And when it comes to players, the Chicago Bears head coach is straight and to-the-point while not going overboard. It is a tough balance to strike, but one the first-year coach is handling well.
However, his commentary about Bears quarterback Caleb Williams and the passing game raised some eyebrows:

The Miami Dolphins re-signed offensive lineman Kion Smith on Tuesday, this time to the practice squad — bringing back the 27-year-old after cutting him and tight end Hayden Rucci to make room for the returns of tight end Darren Waller and right tackle Austin Jackson late last week. Rucci was claimed by the Detroit Lions […]

It will be a battle between two of the NFL’s most disappointing teams this Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium when the Minnesota Vikings play host to the Washington Commanders. Given the way that the early betting lines have flip-flopped, it’s hard to say who the sharps view as the bigger disappointment. When the folks from […]

Last week felt like the Chicago Bears were playing with house money because no one expected them to be in first place, and no one thought they’d go on the road and knock off the Philadelphia Eagles. They not only took the defending champs out, but they dominated Philly in the trenches, and thanks to the Carolina Panthers, […]

Brad Marchand loves to play the Toronto Maple Leafs, and apparently, he loves to defend them as well. Ahead of the Maple Leafs and Florida Panthers matchup on Tuesday night, Marchand spoke with the media, and essentially bashed all the 'haters' who feel the Maple Leafs are not a playoff team. Marchand made it very clear, he still feels they are, and everyone shouldn't be writing them off in December. "What are we, 25 games in? If you think that your playoff dreams are done 25 games in, you've ...

The Houston Texans waived veteran offensive lineman Laken Tomlinson, who will now go on waivers. Tomlinson would have to make it to the San Francisco 49ers, which is very well possible.

The Green Bay Packers worked out six players on Tuesday, their off day this week, following three moves on their practice squad.

Ozzy Trapilo might have played himself into a starting role in what might be the most important stretch of the Chicago Bears’ season.
After stepping into the starting lineup in Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers after Theo Benedet was ruled out with an injury, Trapilo was thrust back into a starting role in Week 13 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Even though his 59.7 grade from Pro Football Focus in Week 13 didn’t come close to matching his Herculean Week 12 efforts , Trapilo played...
