What a difference a year makes. Super Bowl LIII was opposite in nearly every way to its predecessor, which saw the Eagles and Patriots combine for an NFL single-game record 1,151 total yards in a 41-33 Philadelphia victory. This time around, the record set was for the lowest-scoring Super Bowl,…
Any given Sunday is right. Sometimes, we need a reminder that no matter how foregone a conclusion a game may seem, if you’re watching two NFL teams play, anything can happen. After a lackluster start to the season and President Trump’s comments on National Anthem protests, Week 3 was incredibly…
Tom Brady outrushed Ezekiel Elliott on Sunday and matched LeSean McCoy’s total of nine yards on 10 fewer carries. Simply put, that’s not the sentence I expected to open this week’s Power Rankings this week, and if you did, I recommend catching the next flight out to Vegas. For the…
The couple days following Week 1 of the NFL season are notorious for overreactions as people make grandiose assumptions and predictions only to be brought down to earth as sample sizes become more meaningful. Well, in the spirit of the moment, I’ll join in on the fun: we’ve just witnessed…

The NBA has always had the most entertaining All-Star festivities in sports, with millions tuning in to watch the three-day event, beginning on Friday with the Celebrity Game and Rising Stars Challenge, followed by All-Star Saturday Night, and the All-Star Game itself on Sunday. However, this year brought little in terms…
32 began, and 12 remain. After 17 weeks of play, the NFL’s regular season has come to an end, meaning this will be the last edition of my power rankings. It’s been a long road but an enjoyable one and the series will return in September for the 2017 season. In…
The Jaguars, 49ers, and Browns entered week 16 of the NFL season with a combined three wins on the year and a record of 0-25 since week 5. Somehow, on Saturday they all won. If you needed any more proof that the NFL is an Any Given Sunday league, there…
