Ah, yes! Mock draft season is officially upon us! My belated Christmas present to you came a little bit later this year, but I am excited to officially kick off our 2025 draft coverage today with my first mock draft. This year’s draft is rather unique, as many of the projected top prospects have dealt… read more

Steelers fans are uncomfortably familiar with the misery the team has suffered the past few weeks. In games against Super Bowl contenders Philadelphia, Baltimore and Kansas City, they were out-classed and out-played, losing all three to the collective tune of 90-40. The offense certainly struggled, particularly at the quarterback position, which I chronicled last week… read more

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers took control of their own destiny in the NFC South with their 48-14 win over the Carolina Panthers. Baker Mayfield threw for 359 yards and five touchdowns in the win.

In an extraordinary turn of events, the Minnesota Vikings (14-2) have positioned themselves for a historic Week 18 matchup against the Detroit Lions that could determine both the NFC North championship and the conference’s top seed.

Though the specifics still aren’t public, we can garner a few details from what’s been reliably written if we cross check that information with what we already know about how the salary cap functions. It’s been reported that no new money has been… read more
