I personally love Madden — an unpopular position I know. I love being able to build up my beloved Carolina Panthers up to being a Super Bowl Champion. In the past, seeing Cam Newton, CMC, Greg Olsen and Luke Kuechly hoisting the Lombardi rewarded the hard work of roster building, scouting and game-planning. However, I

At the time I am writing this, it is almost exactly a week away from the 8:20 kick-off of Cowboys @ Buccaneers on NBC. Football. Is. Back. And with the return of football comes the return of the ZLO Model. For those who did not read my columns last year, the ZLO Model is an

I would consider myself to be someone who has a finger on the pulse of the NFL. I spend a good amount of my free time reading about football news, watching press conferences and listening to podcasts. So, when I finished up my 9:30 a.m. class at 10:15 a.m. and looked down at my phone
