For 18 weeks, the NFL has control over American living rooms. Out of 32 teams in the league, only one gets the coveted Lombardi Trophy each year. People bet millions of dollars on the outcome of a three-and-a-half-hour game. Throughout the span of 56 Super Bowls, 12 teams have yet to take home the crown.

I am not a lawyer, and I am not a diplomat. I am not a war strategist. Nor am I an international relations academic. I do not know the right path forward through Brittney Griner’s arrest and her developing situation in Russia. What I do know is why Brittney Griner was in Russia in the

Between break and then school, I have not been able to talk about the crazy NFL offseason. March 8th saw Russel Wilson traded, March 9th Carson Wentz traded. Later in the week, Tom Brady came back from the dead, and this weekend Deshaun Watson traded to the Browns. Today, I will cover the QB moves

Tom Brady changed the NFL in a lot of ways. He first changed the NFL on Sept. 23, 2001, when he came in to replace an injured Drew Bledsoe, although we didn’t quite know it then. He did it again on Feb. 3, 2002, when he drove the Patriots up the field with less than

When I ask if there is an MVP this season, it is a genuine question, and I honestly do not have the answer. Of course, I have an opinion, but if I recall, there is some sort of saying about those. So, today, instead of presenting you with information and then giving you my conclusion,

Never in my life have I associated Adele’s “Hello” with the NFL. After last night’s Sunday Night Football game, I do not think I can unlink the two. The game featured the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-1) traveling to the New England Patriots (1-2) in a game not expected to be close by most. Vegas set

Football is finally back, and with one constant comes another: the inevitable dominance of the GOAT, more commonly known as Tom Brady. As a Giants fan, I have no love lost for Brady. Yet for as long as I’ve been following football, and almost as long as I’ve been alive, an unathletic, unassuming sixth-round draft

Earlier in April, the NFL announced a new rule that would allow for expanded numbers in the different positions. Most drastically, it opened single-digit numbers to running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, linebackers and defensive backs, rather than maintaining the single-digit option solely for quarterbacks, kickers and punters, as per usual. This decision was met

So, the Patriots signed Cam Newton … again. Remember when that sentence was exciting? I believe my exact emotions were hesitation at first and then ultimately relief and excitement. And then the 2020 season happened. It was great to see Brady (who had been my team’s quarterback for my entire life — literally) win another

Hello, it’s me again, your resident Tom Brady over-analyst and still-brokenhearted Pats fan. For the first time in my life, I was content with a Super Bowl champion from the NFC. And, while they wore Buccaneers jerseys last night, “Tommy and Gronky” (as they refer to themselves in their new short — seriously go look,
