By

Editor's Note: this article originally ran in the fall of 2018. The sports calendar is sort of imbalanced, but once it gets moving, it has a lot of velocity.

Cincinnati Bengals: your new Super Bowl favorite

By

It seems early to already be down to just one undefeated team in the AFC, but the Bengals are playing like they could maintain that storyline well into November.

Which quarterback should the Chicago Bears draft?

By

Before you get up in arms about the title, let me make this clear: this is not an article proposing that the Bears should pick a quarterback in the 1st round of this year’s draft to replace Jay Cutler.

In my first 2 installments of “Quarter Previews” (1, 2), I … [Read more...] about Chicago Bears Season Outlook: 3rd Quarter

Green Bay Packers jobbed by the replacement refs in Seattle

By

Not one call, not two calls, not three calls, but four bad calls led to the Seattle Seahawks' 14-12 upset win over the Green Bay Packers. None bigger than Russell Wilson's desperation heave that the Packers' (1-2) M.D. Jennings seemingly intercepted but was ruled a simultaneous catch and touchdown by the Seahawks' (2-1) wide receiver Golden Tate. … [Read more...] about Green Bay Packers jobbed by the replacement refs in Seattle

Seattle Seahawks QB race: Badgers Russell Wilson is in the mix!

The Seattle Seahawks may be located in the Pacific Northwest, but their quarterback derby certainly has an upper midwest feel to it. Tavaris Jackson was a longtime starter for the Minnesota Vikings, and Matt Flynn set Green Bay Packers passing records in his limited time running the offense. But the starter might be a guy you saw calling the signals for a dairyland state … [Read more...] about Seattle Seahawks QB race: Badgers Russell Wilson is in the mix!
