The Dallas Cowboys always have some of the most fascinating storylines in the NFL, but heading into 2024, it’s almost impossible to predict what Jerry Jones and company have planned. If you listen to Jones, he’s sticking by his statement that Dallas is going “all in” for 2024 with the goal to finally get over the playoff hump and secure another Lombardi Trophy. That logic made sense following the Cowboys’ early exit from the playoffs. They had a team loaded with talent on both sides of the ball and their franchise QB Dak Prescott, was leading the MVP conversation for…

For the first time in a long time, the Patriots will take the field in 2024 without Bill Belichick leading them and there are a lot of questions surrounding the team heading into the new season. In a shocking development, one current Patriots player recently revealed that he almost died from a mystery illness in training camp last season.

Deion Sanders has become one of the most polarizing figures in all of college football. After taking over the Colorado Buffaloes program that had won just a single game the year before, Sanders built a new roster through the transfer portal and cranked out four wins, while his team remained competitive in a handful of its other contests. But it’s the way that “Coach Prime” is running the Colorado program that has caught so much attention. He understands the power of branding and has a camera crew capturing behind-the-scenes glimpses into the day-to-day happenings of his team in an attempt…

The San Francisco 49ers have come close to winning a Super Bowl the last two seasons and they are heading into 2024 with every intention on claiming another Lombardi Trophy. For the most part, John Lynch and the 49ers brass have been able to keep the bulk of last year’s squad in tact, minus a few additions on defense like Arik Armstead and Chase Young, who the team acquired halfway through the season via a trade with Washington. But one of the biggest storylines all offseason has centered around the San Francisco 49ers possibly trading one of their star wide…

The Dallas Cowboys were expected to have a monumental offseason with so many potentially franchise-changing moves to make. Owner Jerry Jones has made it clear the Cowboys are going “all-in” for 2024 and decided to retain Mike McCarthy for one more season to see if he can get the talented roster past the first round in the playoffs and possibly reach the Super Bowl expectations Jones expects. But instead of making any significant free agent moves to replace the talent the team lost from last year’s squad, Jones and the Cowboys brass made only a few modest moves. The most…

The New England Patriots built a dynasty in the NFL that spanned over nearly two decades, winning 6 Super Bowls Bowls, nine AFC Championship Games, and sixteen AFC East titles, earning an overall regular season record of 266–121.

There was “Spygate” where the New England Patriots were accused of filming their opponents practices so they would know their plays ahead of playing them in regular season games.…

The Minnesota Vikings feel like they have enough talent to compete for a Super Bowl in 2024, and now they will have a decision to make when it comes to their starting QB for the season. The Vikings traded up one spot to select Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy, No. 10 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Vikings were looking for their next franchise signal caller, and the Minnesota brass was sold that McCarthy is the guy who will take the Vikings to the next level. The main question heading into the summer is when McCarthy will be ready to…
