The 2020 NFL season ended in disappointment for the New York Giants after narrowly missing out on a division title and playoff berth despite a hard-fought victory over the Cowboys in Week 17. Nevertheless, last season was a step in the right direction for the Giants, who have been stuck in mediocrity (or worse) since

The day was going to come eventually. Tom Brady was either going to retire, or he would tire of taking pay cuts and play for market value for another club. The latter happened March 17, as Tom Brady announced he would not return to New England, agreeing to a deal in principle with the Tampa

Atop the highest snow bank on my elementary school playground, my legs swung aimlessly beneath me as I peered over the frozen tundra.

We are less than three weeks away from the NFL Draft getting underway, and my Cleveland Browns have the first overall pick. Now that they’ve traded DeShone Kizer, Cody Kessler and Kevin Hogan, with Tyrod Taylor and Drew Stanton coming in on the flip side, it’s clear the Browns are set on a fresh start in

With the NFL draft getting ever-closer, we’ve already talked about a couple of prospects in one of the most interesting quarterback classes in recent memory. In February I wrote about Josh Allen, a prospect with elite upside that could make him a superstar in the right situation, but the kind of accuracy concerns that make

With the 2018 NFL Draft a little more than a month away, all eyes have turned to the Combine to determine who will be the future of a NFL franchise. For the second year in a row, the Browns hold the No. 1 selection in the draft, and odds are they might draft another quarterback.
