The NFL has a chequered history with race and in particular black players. While it didn’t go as far as other sports in America by excluding black players from playing the NFL is not without its share of shame. There were no black players in the NFL between 1933 and...
It’s been an eventful week in the NFL. We had big moves on the trade deadline and the first head coach to bite the dust. We all heard in the lead up to Tuesday that some names were on the trading block, so even if it wasn’t a surprise who...
At approximately 1.10pm ET on Sunday, September 10th 2017, the Pittburgh Steelers blocked a punt that led to them scoring their first touchdown of the new NFL season. As the seconds ticked away and the play unfolded on the gridiron, an icy chill ran up the spine of every single...
Post Free Agency and Draft, some teams have seen their roster change a little, some a lot. As a result there will be teams that improve significantly in 2017 over last year and others who may struggle to repeat their relative success. Dan has already taken a look at the...

With their dominant defensive performance in Super Bowl 50, the Denver Broncos laid down a reliable template for success in the modern NFL. Future Hall-of-Famer Peyton Manning had arguably the worst season ever for a Super Bowl winning quarterback in 2015, throwing 17 interceptions and only nine touchdowns. In fact,...
I always hope Saints fans use this joke “Knock knock” “Who’s there?” “Wendy” “Wendy who?” “Oh wendy Saints come marching on, oh when the Saints come marching on” but they probably don’t. It’s been a tough couple of seasons for Brees and crew competing in a very competitive NFC South,...
