Deion Sanders is undeniably one of the best football players there’s ever been. He was feared by quarterbacks across the league for his big-play ability, helping two different teams to championships. The constant threat of him picking off any pass and turning it into a big play at the other end is what makes him

Wait, they played football in between the commercials this weekend? This week, Scene selects a few of our favorite Super Bowl commercials that didn’t try to incorrectly commercialize the thoughtful words of a famous Civil Rights leader. NFL commercial By Adam Ramos, Scene Editor As a lifelong Giants fan, I have been lucky enough

This Super Bowl weekend might have showcased the Seahawks or Lions against the Ravens or Chargers had the NFL included four wild card teams and eliminated the bye round.

That’s so Browns. In the hours and days after Tuesday’s 4 p.m. NFL trade deadline, this was the phrase I kept constantly hearing across sports media.

It happens every weekend there’s football. Sometimes it’s a sliding quarterback. Sometimes it’s a receiver as he’s falling down. Whatever the scenario, there’s always a big hit — followed by a flag, 15-yard penalty, an ejection in college and often a fine in the NFL. With the buzz surrounding concussion symptoms and their long-lasting impact,

A few weeks ago, a fellow columnist — Michael Ivey — wrote a piece detailing why the Chicago Bears will continue to dwell in the bottom of the NFL standings, with no hope of improvement in sight. Now, I know Ivey is a Bears fan, as am I, and it’s clear his view of the
