Now that the 2022 NFL season is nearly over and we are all looking forward to Super Bowl LVII, let’s take a look at my picks for the top 15 events of this past season (in no particular order). 1. The Washington Football team changing its team name to the Commanders: Do you remember that since the beginning of football itself, the team had the name “Redskins”, and the sports media deemed it offensive? Every single year, they advocated that team Owner Dan Snyder change the name. Well, Mr. Snyder said “no” for the longest time, but he eventually gave…
Jerry Jones just parted ways with with one of the best, if the not the best offensive play callers in the NFL in Kellen Moore. If he thinks he has a chance of making it to the Super Bowl next year? Heck, he won’t even win the NFC East division again, for letting the talented play caller go. How Moore was Relieved The announcement was delivered moments after the Philadelphia Eagles secured a spot in Super Bowl LVII by abolishing the San Francisco 49ers 31-7 in the NFC Championship game on Jan. 29, 2023.

Now that the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs has come and gone, if you read my last story, on “What were your favorite moments from the NFL Wild Card Games”, you’d found out that my family and myself are big Buffalo Bills, Dallas Cowboys, and New York Giants fans. Sadly to say, I was 0-3 in my predictions and I’m still standing tall, knowing that there is still a lot of good football ahead of us to watch. Let’s take a look at the good, the bad, and what’s going to make these three teams come back even stronger…
What a fantastic series of games to kick-off the NFL playoffs. Growing up in Upstate, NY with a family of sports fans, especially in pro football, I can’t believe that three of the teams that I cheered for with my family, have moved on to the Divisional round. My father and I are die-hard Buffalo Bills fans, while my mother cheers for Dem Boyz in Dallas, and my Uncle roots for the Big Blue in New York. These three-teams all played hard, so let’s talk about how they faired against their opponents, along with the other three winning teams. Los…
