2019-2020 Season Preview – Colorado Avalanche
The Colorado Avalanche will begin their six-game pre-season on home ice on September 17 versus the Vegas Golden Knights, giving GM Joe Sakic and Coach Jared Bednar a chance to test how the off-season changes are going to pan out. A lot has changed across the ice for the Colorado Avalanche, and it is hard to speculate just how those changes are going to pan out for their club.
Dallas Cowboys: Ezekiel Elliott should pull an Emmitt Smith
In order to get what he actually wants, Dallas Cowboys running back needs to repeat history. We have a very unique situation going on with the Dallas Cowboys. We have a running back holding out for more money after outperforming his rookie contract. Ok, so it’s not unique, and it may be history repeating itself.
Time is Now for Minor League Football
Alliance of American Football was a good idea, but it targeted the wrong players.
Minor League Baseball can trace its history back to 1901. The NFL is about to enter its centennial season, and they need to create a minor league as well, but with a twist. This minor league will not be teams affiliated with NFL franchises.
New York Jets: Most important player in pass protection is Sam Darnold
The New York Jets need to protect their quarterback of the future, and the most important player in this is Sam Darnold.
The offensive line is the most important group of players on the football field in the modern NFL offense. That being said, the most important player in pass protection in the modern NFL is the quarterback, and for the New York Jets, it’s Sam Darnold.
Los Angeles Chargers Team Preview
The 2018 season for the Los Angeles Chargers and Head Coach Anthony Lynn was a pleasant surprise for Charger fans. Despite missing the playoffs and finishing the 2017 season 9-7, expectations were high for the Chargers and they certainly met them. In 2018, the offense and defense both clicked which culminated in a 12-4 finish and seven Pro Bowlers. Despite losing in the Divisional Round of the playoffs, and the ongoing contract saga of Melvin Gordon (more on that later) expectations for 2019 in Los Angeles are now even higher with talk of possibly even reaching the Franchise’s first Super Bowl since 1994.
Pittsburgh Steelers 2019 Season Outlook
The Pittsburgh Steelers came out of the gate relatively fast (if you ignore that Browns tie), starting with a 7-2-1 record, despite the holdout of Le’Veon Bell. They exerted some pure dominance against Carolina at home and wore down a tough Jacksonville defense. After a few head-scratchers against the AFC West, they managed to beat back New England to stay on track for a playoff run. A close loss to a very good New Orleans team coupled with Antonio Brown giving up on the team going into Week 17 buried them, and they limped to a 9-6-1 final record, missing the playoffs.
Two-Start Pitchers: Week 18 (8/05 – 8/11)
Matt Bishop | August 5, 2019 STREAMER OF THE WEEK Daniel Norris, SP DET (CHW, KC) (24% CBS, 2% ESPN, 5% Yahoo) It’s getting to that time of the year where we are running out of decent streaming pitchers to talk about and upside is virtually non-existent on the waiver wire. But while Daniel Norris’ […]
Greed is the motivation behind Tom Brady’s recent extension
Michael Pallas Aug 5th, 2019 (Please note: this is purely an observational opinion piece. Also, it’s not one to pass judgment on whether or not it is good or bad.) We are all motivated by something, and for Tom Brady, one thing clearly motivates him to continue playing in the NFL…greed.

NFL Rookie Hype List: Hit or Miss?
With 32 teams in the midst of regular-season preparation via training camp practices, we often see the hype for rookies spin out of control. It seems like every year without fail, NFL Twitter gets a hold of a couple clips of a corner making a nice interception, or a running back juking a linebacker and leaving them in the dust, and proclaims them as the next great thing. I’m here to look at seven players that were drafted in April that have seen a ton of chatter, and to give my predictions on if they will prove worthy from day one.
Breaking down the pieces of a modern NFL offense
We are well aware that we are in a brand new age of the National Football League. In this pass-heavy league, it is very crucial that everyone is on the same page. However, what makes up a good NFL offense in today’s game? Let’s break it down.
