How anyone thought this guy was going to be an NFL starter this time around is just beyond me. I like BDN, and I think he has brought more joy to the city of Philly than any other athlete there ever, but seriously…did we every really think this guy was an NFL starter? https://twitter.com/nfldraftscout/status/1201576914848276480?s=20 NickContinueContinue reading “What Is Nick Foles?”

Rivalry Week
If you enjoy college football, few weeks mean as much as rivalry week. All over the country we have teams playing each other that just flat out hate each other.

Duke Should Be Embarrassed
Last night, Duke embaressed the entire college basketball entity by getting their 150 win streak against non-conference opponents at home snapped. In literally the last possible second of the entire game. Against freaking Stephen F Austin, a school that has nothing to do with Stephen A Smith but STILL sounds hysterically close. https://twitter.com/SportsCenter/status/1199678832585916417 I’ve saidContinueContinue reading “Duke Should Be Embarrassed”
NFL Finds No Evidence of Myles Garrett Claim
Really though, can this shit just be done with? Can this entire saga just be over for everybody. Earlier today news broke that Myles Garrett, fresh off of his fight with Mason Rudolph last Thursday said that the Steelers Quarterback used a “racial slur” that started the altercation. https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1197580939104325633?s=20 Trust me, I know we justContinueContinue reading “NFL Finds No Evidence of Myles Garrett Claim”
Jose Finds a Home
Wow. Just freaking…wow.

What Did We Witness Last Night?
Mental. Absolutely Mental. Like…to the point that makes you understand that Odell Beckham Jr. only took the frustration out a career long frustration of being on the Giants at a kicking net. Last night, we witnessed two things. One, we witnessed the Cleveland Browns just flat out beating the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite the Conner, JuJuContinueContinue reading “What Did We Witness Last Night?”

Five Reasons the Steelers are Winning Tonight
I love tonight. I am so excited for what is going to be put on display tonight for one holy reason…there isn’t a rivalry quite like the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns.

Not if you never left theContinueContinue reading “The NFL has Peaked….Again”
End Of An Era
In what was one of the greatest drafts in NFL history, the 04 class has always been one riddled with questions. What is Eli would have just sucked it up and gone to the Chargers? Would the Steelers have gotten the guy they wanted in Rivers? What would the Giants look like with Big BenContinueContinue reading “End Of An Era”
