The NFL plans on going ahead and starting the season without its regular officials. Recent history suggests this is a bad idea, as the NBA started the 2009-10 preseason with replacements. But the league doesn’t seem to mind, as long as you keep watching.

The West Virginia Mountaineers may be ranked outsite the top-10 in both the AP and coaches’ polls, but they’re still among the favorites to win, despite the fact they’re moving into the Big 12. Head coach Dana Holgorsen looks to lead his team to the promised land, as he is more familiar than usual with his new conference rivals.

Russell Wilson is trying to redefine what it means to be an NFL quarterback. While the league maintains its belief that QBs under six feet aren’t able to see all the open receivers, Wilson – at 5’11” – has shown that he’s more than capable of completing a pass. His stellar numbers in the Big Ten prove it, but is that enough to land him a starting job in the only football league that matters?

You’re Terrell Owens and you’re a football player. Actually, you’re a football player without a job, because the Seattle Seahawks released you. It’s a weird feeling and though it’s happened to you before, it had never happened to you at 38 years old. For a while, you were happy again. You had just signed a […]

When it comes to selling the on-field product, the NFL has a lot of work to do in promoting off-the-field content as well. From recruitment to public relations to management to fan events, there’s a lot of work to be done to make sure the stands stay packed and the teams keep winning. Andrew Bucholtz explains.

Recently, The Good Point’s Eric Rosenhek had a chance to attend a free Cleveland Browns practice as part of a multi-city sports road trip.

Do you recognize the man in that picture? Perhaps you don’t. Perhaps, too, I should ask whether you know him before asking whether you’ve recognized him – I know that I didn’t know him. It’s been about six weeks since Wade Davis made the news and so, chances are that if you didn’t know him […]

The Penn State story continues. The school has decided to remove the statue of fallen legend Joe Paterno, while NCAA president Mark Emmert is alone issuing sever sanctions against Penn State. This potentially opens up a world of new issues, as Emmert is skipping the usual investigative process and instead is taking matters into his own hands.

All of the recent changes to the NCAA football landscape have left many schools looking for a permanent home. The Idaho Vandals are no exception. However, they may be better served remaining as an independent for the near future in order to improve their lot for a position in the Mountain West conference down the road.

The NFL recently announced that it will make available its “All-22” footage, which captures each of the 22 players on the field during a given play. For a subscription fee, fans will be able to review each and every play, giving them access to a new side of football never before open to the public.
