Some people argue what is the most important aspect of an NFL game. Is it the players? The coaches? Maybe the the field? Is it the food? Is it the fans? One could argue it’s the referees and their crew. Over the past few years, officiating in the NFL has been really poor. Referees call either too much or too little. They call the ticky tack ones, but not the clear and obvious ones. Calls have been more inconsistent, then consistent. What to consider: The NFL has been very, very, protective of the quarterback so much that a little tap…

You already know of all the great Chicago Bears players on defense ever. Butkus, Singletary, Urlacher, and a whole lot more. One of the greatest players on the Monsters of the Midway defense was Charles “Peanut” Tillman. Him, and Matt Forte, are my all-time favorite Bears. To start, Tillman is the greatest cornerback in Bears history and was an overall beast on the field. Bears fans, and a lot of NFL fans know him for that “Peanut Punch” he had in his career. That is one of the greatest defensive moves in all of sports. Even in today’s game, defensive…
Preseason is underway in the NFL. Most people don’t like the games. I am an avid fan of preseason games. No, I don’t get excited for them like the regular season, but I watch them. I get it, it’s not the same, but football is football. “The Experts” out there think there should be no preseason. They’re wrong. Preseason football is the time for all players and all coaches to adjust to that game speed. Many players get hurt in the beginning of the season because their bodies are not ready for game speed. Next, it gives later round drafted…
It’s a fresh start of a new season for Northwestern football as they look to bounce back from a 3-9 season. It was one of the worst statistically under Head Coach Pat Fitzgerald. This is a team that is in the midst of a quarterback competition between 3 Star quarterback Brendan Sullivan and South Carolina transfer Ryan Hilinski. Hilinski led the Wildcats in passing yards last year but was part of a disastrous offense. According to reports, the two quarterbacks are neck and neck for the starting job. Whoever is the starting quarterback for the team will have third year…
Butkus, Singletary, Urlacher. Three Hall of Famers that were linebackers for the Chicago Bears. These 3 guys were a part of a cornerstone position in all of sports. It’s like Dallas Cowboys quarterback, shortstop for the New York Yankees, or guard for the Los Angeles Lakers. With training camp underway in Chicago, the Bears will be without Roquan Smith, who is holding out for a new contract. He is now requesting a trade saying, “The new front office regime doesn’t value me here.” The former first round pick and two-time 2nd team all-pro is deserving of a new contract. He…
This college football season will be one of the most interesting ones in a long time. We have a lot of new coaches, a lot of new quarterbacks, and a lot of transfers all over the country. One team, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, has both a new coach, and will have a new quarterback. Marcus Freeman has already proven himself as a great defensive coach. Also, he is proving himself as a recruiter getting in the top 10 for the overall recruits that committed to Notre Dame in 2022. It is up to him to keep this team a…
According to reports, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is soon to begin throwing after offseason shoulder surgery. When Garoppolo is cleared, the trade market for him will continue to spark as it did after the NFC Championship loss to the Los Angeles Rams. This raises multiple questions in regard to Jimmy G. Should the 49ers trade him? Where would Garoppolo be traded? Should the 49ers wait until they can trust Trey Lance? Would Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch trade him to a division rival like the Seahawks? Jimmy Garoppolo has been the 49ers quarterback since 2017. He has had…
Last year, the Chicago Bears placed a bid to buy the Arlington International Racecourse. Bears President and CEO Ted Phillips said, “it’s our obligation to explore every option to ensure we’re doing what’s best for our organization.” Almost a year from the day last week, Robert McCoppin of the Chicago Tribune said the Bears are “making progress toward completing their purchase of Arlington International Racecourse in Arlington Heights.” What’s best for the organization is progressing to move forward. The Chicago Bears are adapting to the times. With a lot of teams having indoor stadiums, the Bears will be…
USC and UCLA will be moving to the Big Ten in 2024. This changes the landscape of college football as big as N.I.L. and the Transfer Portal have. This merger will bring on more powerful matchups and tougher scheduling. The days of cupcake, powderpuff, non-conference schedules are over. College football will now be at a stage where every week is important. In major college football news last week, USC and UCLA will join the Big 10 in 2024. As this came as a surprise to many, this is a good thing for these two rivals and for college football…
