The social media juggernaut that is Twitter has caused a great many NFL headlines of late, but just how many of these headlines have come about solely as a result of the ongoing lockout is debatable. There’s a school of thought that ESPN and other mainstream sports sites are grasping at anything even remotely resembling news to fill the […]

Being a high-level athlete in any sport isn’t an easy task, and football is no exception. Generally, football players who succeed at the NCAA and NFL levels have superior physical skills that they’ve honed through a lifetime of experience playing the game and years of hard work in the weight room to build their bodies. Even experience and physical […]

This year’s NFL lockout has a notable impact on just about everyone involved with football. Thus far, it’s affected the operation of the draft, kept some rookies from receiving playbooks, caused some veteran players to sponsor their own versions of training camps, launchedprotracted court battles and even served as an excuse for one owner to slash his employees’ pay. However, its largest […]

A fight between millionaires and billionaires looks to be the biggest reality-show drama of the summer. With no end in sight for the bitter NFL lockout, fans of what’s arguably America’s most popular sport may have to turn elsewhere to get their football fix this fall.

On the surface, there are plenty of similarities between former Auburn quarterback Cam Newton and former LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell.

The NFL Draft is one of the strangest spectacles in all of sports. The draft itself is, of course, quite simple: each NFL team picks from the top NCAA players over a series of seven rounds with teams picking in a predetermined order. In the past, the draft was not subject to much speculation and was covered […]

Your typical NFL fan has many major football dates circled on their calendar: kickoff weekend, rivalry games, and of course the Super Bowl, just to name a few. This past week was one of the largest dates of the year; the NFL Draft. Besides the millions who watched the event from home, some of the most dedicated fans […]

Last week’s NFL Draft attracted a huge televised audience, as per usual. A large part of that audience was comprised of the NFL fans and draftniks you’d expect, but some of it had notably different motivations. Instead of eagerly watching to see who their particular team picked or putting their mock drafts up against the […]

After a one-year hiatus in the Sunshine State, the NFL’s equivalent of an All-Star Game returns to Hawaii. Unfortunately, given that the Pro-Bowl is once again nestled in the off-week between the Conference Championships and Super Bowl, a noticeable 10 players currently vying for the Lombardi Trophy won’t be making the trip. The Steelers and […]
