The contract holdout between the Colts and RB Jonathan Taylor took another twist, as the Colts have placed Taylor on the PUP list, which means he cannot play in the first four regular season games. Taylor had been on the trade block, but supposedly Indy did not receive any offers that they liked.

Lance has definitely been a bust. This is what happens when teams desperate for a QB reach in the draft. We've seen it over and over. It is funny that after spending all those assets to move up on the draft for Lance, that San Fran's starting QB ends up being Mr. Irrelevant - - the final...

I watched a little of the Steelers 2nd preseason game last weekend. It was my first chance to see the team this year. The first string offense looked good, which matches the reports I've been reading. Kenny Pickett seems to be taking the next step in his development at QB. The AFC North should...

Penn State joining the Big 10 wasn't really the same thing -- that actually made a lot of sense when it happened over 30 years ago, IMO. PSU was an independent, which creates difficulties in scheduling, bowl game invitations, and getting TV exposure. The Big 10 was a great fit regionally for...

So yesterday was truly Black Friday for the Pac12. Only four teams remain (Cal, Stanford, Oregon State and Washington State) after a mass exodus of five schools to the Big 10 (Oregon, Washington) and Big 12 (Arizona, Arizona State, Utah), just a few weeks after Colorado left, as well. It's sad...

My suggestion was to keep the Redskins name and change the mascot to a potato. ;)

...and Ricky Williams sat out a season or two to smoke weed. ;)

Agreed. LeVeon Bell has even stated recently that he made a mistake, which surprised me. Bell isn't very bright.

I think the odds are much better that Aaron Rodgers blows up in the Jets faces than he leads them to the Super Bowl. The team's big adds to the offense to go along with Rodgers were Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb -- not anything that inspires confidence. The Jets didn't address their offensive...

This reeks of some irrelevant talking head making a few outrageous predictions just to get people to pay attention to him. I have a better chance of getting fired from my job than Kraft firing Belichick -- and I'm retired! :laugh:

I read somewhere that it couldn't be a player from the practice squad.

I never was fortunate enough to see him play. Everything I have seen or read certainly backs up your belief. One of the true legends of the game. RIP.

I stream (both purchases and subscriptions), but I do not subscribe to Peacock, and will not just to watch a single event. During the hockey season, I subscribe to ESPN+ since they carry the out of market team games, so I can watch almost all the games of my favorite team (Montreal). We also...

The Saturday night playoff game on Wildcard Weekend will be available exclusively on NBC's Peacock streaming service. I guess I will not be watching that game.

The Packers have a large, dedicated fan base, so they always get their share of national games. It's similar to the Steelers, Raiders and Cowboys.

That would be like, for me, Urban Meyer becoming the athletic director at Michigan. :laugh:

One of the true signs of The Apocalypse! :laugh:

That was the last Super Bowl that I do not remember - - my first memory of watching was SB V Colts beating Cowboys on a late FG. However, I did have the Super Bowl IV version of the old electric football game, which my wife sold a few years ago for about $150.

A mobile QB who can also throw well has a significant advantage over an immobile QB. Patrick Mahommes, Joe Montana, Steve Young, Drew Brees, Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson and John Elway (just off the top of my head) are all examples of championship-winning QBs who created with both...

Just a few years ago, the Tampa Bay Lighting set an NHL record for points in a regular season and lost in the first round, too. In fact, that Tampa team was actually swept in four games! It's not unusual for a #1 seed to lose in the 1st round in the NHL -- in fact, it happens often enough that...

I only saw O’Connell play in the Big Ten title game versus Michigan. He had a strong arm, and was accurate when he had time to throw. He had a very good first half against Michigan, but threw a couple of interceptions under duress in the second half when the Wolverines took control of the game...

Actually, they are the only franchise to have played in every Super Bowl season and never make it to the game. Even if you buy into the NFL propaganda that the current Cleveland Browns are the same team as always and not an expansion team (sorry, I don't buy it, as the original Browns moved to...

Well, it would be a momentous occasion, as the franchise has not won a post season game in 32 years, and only one since 1957.

I guess climate change is a real thing. If that happens, Hell is definitely freezing over. :laugh:

Speaking of trading down, while Pittsburgh chose not to do this in the 2nd round, they did trade down with Carolina in the 3rd. It appears this swap of picks cost the Steelers a chance to grab a prospect at an area of real need, as there was a run on linebackers between those picks. Instead...

The Steelers must have really wanted Porter, and figured he wouldn't be there at Tennessee's 2nd round spot, in order to turn down the Titans trade up offer. So Arizona became the beneficiary of the Titans desire for Levis.

Stroud went to Ohio State, so he's not used to taking tests. :laugh:

It will be interesting to see what the Steelers do with the pick. They could take Joey Porter, Jr., who was rumored to be of interest for them in the first round, take a different defensive back, or trade down if another team wants Levis. Rumors are that at least three teams with top 10 second...

That is certainly true, and considering how bad the Jets have been, predicting anything they will do can be difficult. However, Jones was considered the final OT in the top tier in this draft, and NY had a big need on their offensive line. So, it's reasonable to think that Jones would have been...

So, the Jets agreed to swap first round draft picks with Green Bay as part of the trade for Aaron Rodgers, and even though the drop was only two spots it appears to have cost them a chance to draft a much needed left tackle. The Steelers jumped up three spots (cost them a 4th round pick) to...
