Continuing the trend of a great NFL season, Super Wild Card weekend gave us some great results and matchups to look forward to, although three blowouts marginally dulled the hype. From many fans’ perspectives (including this Giants fan), the Saturday and Sunday outcomes were about as good as could be hoped for, with the hated

Though the NFL’s decision to expand the regular season to 17 games was met with equal parts praise and criticism, there is one benefit that few realized at the time the decision was announced: The new schedule gives us an exact halfway point in the season. Although it seems like the first nine weeks have

I pride myself on having a relatively good understanding of the NFL. I document weekly picks on my live stream NFL Kickoff. If I were to begin gambling I would not make a whole lot of money, but my record of 76-46 would be at home on ESPN’s Expert Picks page. But this last weekend? Well, I went

Last week I wrote about the crazy opening weekend: The Titans’ crazy game against the Cardinals, the Browns’ great showing against the Chiefs, the Saints rolling the Packers and the Steelers locking down the Bills. I think I did pretty well. The Titans’ offense bounced back against the Seattle Seahawks, and the Browns seem to

There are not a whole lot of things that can overshadow the NFL draft. However, Aaron Rodgers sure did get close to doing just that. ESPN’s Adam Schefter recently reported that Rodgers is “so disgruntled with the Green Bay Packers that he has told some within the organization that he does not want to return

Notre Dame alum Paul “The Golden Boy” Hornung — a college football and NFL Hall-of-Famer for whom the Paul Hornung Award, given annually to the best all-around player in college football, is named — passed away Friday due to complications with dementia. He was 84 years old. A native of Louisville, Ky., Hornung elected to

So much for turmoil within the Green Bay Packers’ organization. After an offseason filled with questions surrounding the front office’s decision-making and the chemistry between star quarterback Aaron Rodgers and head coach Matt LaFleur, the team came flying out of the gates with a blistering 43-34 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. The Packers

I haven’t yet taken over as Sports Editor, but as the time approaches for me to do so, I feel compelled to send off my predecessor, Connor Mulvena, by writing a tribute sports authority to his old piece on the dumbest pro sports mascots. So without further ado, in no particular order, here are mine.

The stage was set. I was in the Baumer Hall 24-hour lounge, watching the first half of the NFC championship game between the Green Bay Packers and the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers faced a 2nd and 9 at the Packers 18-yard line, already up 20-0. One spectator said, “I just want to see a
