The fastest NFL Combine ever created a new class of sonic boom or bust prospects
The NFL’s Underwear Olympics has always had a tangential connection to actual football. Bench press reps are the equivalent of Strong Man competitions, but until linemen are pulling trucks, they don’t move the particular needle. Besides, the best combine bench press numbers typically are posted by the lineman with the shortest… Read more…

Give Justin Jefferson his flowers (and a QB) you cowards!

Some Minnesota Vikings made their pitch for Odell Beckham Jr. during warmups, but there are better teams that could make much better use of the former All-Pro
A few Minnesota Vikings players gave their front office a little elbow nudge to make a roster move this week.

With Julio Jones shipped to Titans, a look back at the memorable receiver deals and who won them

Let me start by saying that I am no betting wizard. However, when it comes to NFL rookies, I like to think that I know my shit.

NFL schedule offers weird and wonderful highlights (and, oddly, a lot of Saints in primetime)
Football people are weird people, because we get giddy over something as simple as a schedule release. That giddy feeling happened last night, as the NFL (and it’s teams’ social media departments) released their full 18-week slate for the upcoming season, which will be the first in which every team plays 17 regular… Read more…
