I was going to use this time to point out how irresponsible Lions head coach Dan Campbell was when he had a chance to kick a field goal–twice–but instead elected to go for it–twice–in the second half of Sunday’s NFC Championship Game against the 49ers at Levi Stadium. But why bother? Okay, I guess I… read more

The Chargers announced on Wednesday that they hired Jim Harbaugh to be their new head coach for the 2024 season and, hopefully, beyond. Harbaugh, 60, spent the previous nine seasons in the college ranks, coaching his alma mater, Michigan, where he won a national title to close out the 2023/2024 campaign. Harbaugh was suspended six… read more

The Ravens take on the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday, while the 49ers host the Lions in the NFC title clash later that same day. It’s Lamar Jackson vs. Patrick Mahomes.

First off, I didn’t have “Bill Belichick coaching the… read more

Damn it, Steelers, why couldn’t you earn the number one seed and a bye this year? Either that or why couldn’t you just skip the playoffs altogether? OK, I admit that it’s a bit irrational for me to wish that the Steelers, my favorite football team to obsess over, did not make the NFL’s 2023/2024… read more

The Ravens head into their regular-season finale against Pittsburgh at M&T Bank Stadium on Saturday with everything wrapped up in terms of postseason positioning. Baltimore is the number-one seed in the AFC and has earned the coveted bye. This explains why Lamar Jackson will not suit up vs. a Steelers team that is desperately trying… read more
