Flashing Back to Jon Gruden Washington Team Name Debate Take

October 13, 2021 By 1 Comment

jon gruden

In the wake of the news surrounding Jon Gruden this week, we felt it might be interesting to flashback to some of the rare past occurrences where he actually did give his take on social issues. It seems pretty crazy right now, doesn’t it- a man who seemed to love absolutely everyone and everything, was Mr. positivity as an announcer, is actually a deplorable person on the inside.

During an ESPN Monday Night Football media teleconference, several years ago, Gruden even said, with great self-awareness: “people think I’m too positive, I love everybody!” Turns out it was just a character he played on television.

Why the NFL Must be Extremely Pragmatic Ahead of 2020 Season

August 5, 2020 By Leave a Comment

The coronavirus pandemic has destroyed all essence of a potentially normal year. That statement could not be more true for the sporting world, which took a major hit with the announcements that all leagues would be suspended back in early-to-mid March of 2020.

Carson Palmer Using CBD to Help Ease Aches and Pains

April 29, 2020 By 19 Comments

Carson Palmer spent 15 seasons in the NFL, mostly with the Cincinnati Bengals, but he also made his mark on the Arizona Cardinals and Oakland Raiders. He was sacked 340 times during that decade and a half in the league, including a league leading 41 times in 2013.

He also suffered two ACL tears, eight years apart, and a broken arm. Not to mention all the other bumps and bruises that are par for the course when you’re a QB1 in the National Football League. Now 40 years old and two years into retirement, Palmer frequently uses Cannabidiol (CBD) products to help soothe the pain. Late last year, he even partnered with a CBD sports cream.

2020 NFL Mock Draft 4-23-20 FINAL EDITION

April 23, 2020 By 11 Comments

The NFL Draft, for the first time ever, will be conducted without any centralized physical location. League Commissioner Roger Goodell will announce picks from his home, and teams will make their selections from their headquarters. Basically, it will be the first online only NFL Draft, as everything will be conducted virtually.

Obviously, the seriousness of the COVID-19 pandemic calls for such measures, but it’s not a totally unprecedented format. After all, day three of the NFL Draft, for the past few years, has had no actual location. Anyone who watches it closely notices all the picks being announced remotely. Now they’re simply doing that for the whole thing.

NFL Draft: a Sporting Event Built to Survive Lockdown

March 18, 2020 By Leave a Comment

nfl draft

The NFL Draft, in a highly altered and very much scaled down form, might be the only sporting event that survives the next couple months. If they can pull it off, and it is very much doable, you could see the MLB, NBA and NHL follow suit. It won’t be actual sports, but hey, it will be something close. And it will give you some sports to bet on too, as NFL betting sites have already been taking action on who the first overall pick would be for quite some time already.

On Monday morning, the National Football League announced that the draft will go on, on the planned date, but all fan events are cancelled. So for now, it’s on, but who knows what could change between now and the end of April. Personally, I think it would be really cool if they went all retro/back to their roots- just a bunch of old dudes in a conference center ball room picking names off of a board.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Looking to Relocate NFL Team in London

October 11, 2019 By Leave a Comment

This past weekend saw Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London host the English Premier League and the American National Football League on the same weekend. The $1.25 billion stadium, which opened last spring, after several delays, was worth the wait. It’s world-class, and their next goal is to host the Premiership and the NFL on the same day.

If they can make that short term objective work, the over-arching long term objective is to get a NFL team relocated to London; as has been part of the vision since the beginning of the project. and it would make a great for home for some NFL team, but who?

2020 NFL Mock Draft 9-18-19

September 17, 2019 By 3 Comments

nfl draft

We have 2020 vision, NFL Draft style, right here, right now. It’s our fourth 2020 NFL mock draft update, and the order was based on a combination of NFL.com’s power rankings plus how we see the teams finishing the season out. Team needs were sometimes, but not often taken into account, as it’s just way too early to factor in. Obviously this will be modified many times between now and 2020 NFL Draft day.

So I implore you to really not take this very seriously, and just have fun with it. Please refrain from pointless hostility and needless acrimony in the comments section. Don’t be that guy. You have too much to do in your life than to waste it on trivial online conflict like that. Enjoy!
