The New England Patriots have filled one void left by longtime head coach Bill Belichick. But they’re seemingly content to leave another one empty. The Patriots replaced Belichick with his protege Jerod Mayo last month to serve as the team’s new head coach for the 2024 season and beyond. Mayo, however, isn’t expected to wear two hats like his predecessor famously did. The Patriots have had Belichick serve as both the coach, general manager, and overall head honcho for decades up until his 2024 exit. The GM appears to remain unfilled for the rest of the coming season with the…

Another factor has come into play ahead of Super Bowl LVIII — the dreaded “Drake Curse.” The Canadian rapper is an avid sports fan who makes regular appearance at popular sporting events. Drake is also notorious for publicizing his six or seven-figure sports bets on his social media platforms. While there may not be an official tally out there (though knowing the internet, there probably might be), the consensus belief is that Drake usually hitches his wagon onto the losing horse. On Saturday, the “Take Care” artist revealed his chosen horse for Sunday’s Super Bowl: the Kansas City Chiefs. Drake…
The Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers will be the stars of Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium. But it will be Jim Nantz, Tony Romo, and the rest of the CBS broadcast responsible for shining the light on the players taking center stage in Las Vegas, Nevada. Romo, once considered the rising star of the broadcast booth (with the celestial body-sized contract to match), has faced his fair share of criticism of late for his highly emotional and at-times erratic style of commentary. The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback turned NFL analyst enamored fans with his fire…
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is about to play in the biggest game of his life on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. But win or lose, Purdy’s high school is already immortalizing Mr. Irrelevant in pretty awesome fashion. Purdy, who was born and raised in Arizona, attended Perry High School in Gilbert, Ariz. He was a dual-sport athlete who played both football and baseball for the prep school. Purdy led Perry to the football state championship twice and lost both times to Chandler High School. But despite losing out on the championship hardware, Purdy left a lasting impact…
The San Francisco 49ers lineup is littered with stars up and down the roster. Few are as accomplished as left tackle Trent Williams. William has earned a Pro Bowl nod a whopping 11 (!!) times in a row. His last three seasons have each garnered him a 1st-team All-Pro selection. All that’s left for the standout offensive lineman is to win a Super Bowl — something he can help his team achieve on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nev. But should the 49ers win the whole enchilada, could Williams ride off into the…
For the third season in a row, Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons fell short of the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award. But Parsons was far from a sore lose and even came to the defense of the winner, Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett. Garrett won his first DPOY award on Thursday during the NFL Honors event, besting runner-ups Parsons and Pittsburgh Steelers standout TJ Watt. Garrett received 21 first-place votes, while Watt and Parsons received 19 and 7, respectively. Watt didn’t appear too happy about the second-place finish. The Steelers star posted on X about the apparent…
Baltimore Ravens fans probably couldn’t help but smile after seeing their past and present worlds collide during Thursday’s NFL Honors event. Former Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco and his successor Lamar Jackson were both winners during the NFL Honors award show held at Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas, Nev. Jackson won the 2023 NFL MVP award, edging out runner-up Josh Allen in a near-unanimous 49-1 vote. Flacco was named the Comeback Player of the Year over another Bills player in Damar Hamlin after Flacco led the Cleveland Browns to a second-half resurgence that culminated in a playoff berth. Baltimore Ravens…
Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud was undoubtedly the best rookie in the NFL last season. His Rookie of the Year award is clear validation of that. Stroud impressed fans, peers, and analysts alike by leading an upstart Texans team all the way to the playoffs — and making some noise when they got there. Stroud was electric in a 45-14 dissection of a vaunted Browns defense during the AFC Wild Card Round. He went 16/21 for 274 yards and 3 touchdowns. But Stroud believes even if you take out “rookie” qualifier next to his name, his first-year resume holds up…
The New England Patriots are no longer the perennial Super Bowl contender they once were ever since the turn of the millennium. Principal owner Robert Kraft assured fans that the down years have not been due to any lack of team spending. Former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick raised some eyebrows last year when he made some rather pointed comments on the team’s below-average spending. Belichick highlighted the Patriots being “one of the lowest spending teams in the league” during his end-of-season interview back in June. While Belichick and Kraft have seemingly moved past their rough patch leading up to…
The Chicago Bears are at a massive fork in the road ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft. While the front office likely still has their head on a swivel considering both diverging roads, Bears wide receiver DJ Moore appears to know what path is truly best. Moore has been a vocal supporter of current starting quarterback Justin Fields all season long. Even in the NFL’s final week of action, Moore’s sentiments have not changed on his present QB1. Chicago Bears Wide Receiver Continues To Back Quarterback Justin Fields Moore recently appeared on FanDuel TV’s “Up & Adams” and was asked…
