The entire sports world was shocked when Safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field, experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. Hamlin’s condition has and will remain the most important thing since that fateful play on MNF. Slow, and positive updates are encouraging. Damar remains in critical condition though, and positive energy needs to continue to be extended to Damar, the Hamlin family, Tee Higgins, and the Bills and Bengals teams. Most medical professionals weighing in believe that Hamlin’s injury was in result of the incredibly rare commotio cordis phenomenon. So rare in fact that the chances that a blow to the chest…

With a 7% chance of making the Playoffs, the Washington Commanders nearly sealed their fate with their loss to the Cleveland Browns today. This dropped from a 33% chance prior to their New Year’s Day game. If the Green Bay Packers win, that will move to 0%. What went wrong today A better question would be if anything went right. It didn’t. There were some disappointments on the defensive side of the ball. Chase Young underwhelmed. DE Jonathan Allen left the game with a knee injury and was sorely missed. The tempo and overall score of the game can be…
We will be identifying the true losers in the NFL in 2022. Many things could be listed… Russell Wilson’s self respect, Brady’s love life, Tua Tagovailoa’s brain health, Washington Commanders work culture, or the Rams record after winning the Super bowl last year. And while they are, there’s more. Microsoft Tablets Ken Dorsey of the Buffalo Bills broke a Microsoft surface in his frustration this year – the tablet is partially seen in the photo of Dorsey throwing an epic tantrum, and most of his desk’s content. Tom Brady also brutalized yet another tablet. Brady says he has not perfected…
The snowplow game aptly was named after one of the most infamous stunts in NFL history. This game was recently brought up when it was compared with the Bear’s attempt to use a towel to wipe up the swimming pool that the kicker was punting out of. At least the plow worked. It was also the reasoning behind the Buffalo Bills brushing snow away from Tyler Bass’s kicking location with just their hands in their game against the Miami Dolphins this season. When was the Snowplow Game? The Snowplow Game occurred between the New England Patriots and the Miami Dolphins…
Need a last-minute gift idea? Do you just want to see what NFL players and coaches get each others for the holiday? This article is for you. #1 – Mike Tomlin Black Nike Air Force 1s. If you’re like but wait a moment – Air Force 1s don’t come in black. You would be correct. Unless you’re Mike Tomlin who had a artist hand paint all 146 pairs of shoes. He gave them out as early Christmas gifts earlier this season. If you know, you know. But if you don’t – there’s such a thing as Black Air Force energy.…
In the last edition of which player is the serial killer in your division, we will discuss who are the AFC North and NFC North hidden serial killers (allegedly). The AFC North and NFC North alleged serial killers are much like an embrace from Ed Kemper. The AFC North #1 (allegedly) Runner up (allegedly): … . NFC North #1 – Green Bay Packers The actual most infamous serial killer associated with the NFL – former Green Bay Packer, the I-5 killer.

AFC West and NFC West – it’s your turn! Which player is the serial killer in your division? Stay tuned! AFC West #1 Raiders – the actual serial killers that are team alums. Robert Rozier, and Anthony Smith. Sort of sets the tone doesn’t it? Runner up – also the Raiders, the soul patrol. They were nicknamed this because they took souls and also didn’t have any (that’s my theory anyway). Runner up to the runner up – an actually current player: the entire Raiders squad. Just kidding… kind of. Although they are known as a haven for troublemakers -…
In this edition of which player is the serial killer in your division, we will be discussing the AFC East and NFC East. NFC East Dan Snyder’s culpability speaks for itself. Most likely method: E-Coli related death from wastewater. Runner up Travis Rudolph formerly of the New York Giants primarily and the Miami Dolphins (we will talk about those Dolphins later). He allegedly had a very rough night, when he allegedly laid hands on his significant other. Four men allegedly showed up to his house to talk about this alleged domestic abuse unarmed – and unsurprisingly that didn’t do go…
In honor of the last installment of Native American Heritage Month this year, Fritz Pollard who was the first to do it all will be highlighted.

Thanksgiving in the NFL never fails to disappoint – and week 12 of 2022 was no different. We had skunks And angry Bucs. Turkeys too dry And some players flying high We watched… Whac-A-Mole And discovered relationship goals Never forgetting the 2015 Thanksgiving butt fumble And watching souls crumble Another wrestling move And some quarterbacks were removed Always time for a snack Except for when it’s time for a sack Josh Jacobs does all the yards No good news for the Cards There were shut outs And butts were out We all learned to love And Trevor Lawrence is a…
