Taylor Heinicke is a Godsend Cinderella Story the NFL & XFL need to happen!
First and foremost I want to congratulate Taylor Heinicke on signing a two year deal with the Atlanta Falcons for up to $20 million! Washington Commanders Buried Taylor Heinicke Washington made a mistake by not keeping this man. He should have been their starting quarterback for the past 2 years, but for some reason he never got the respect he deserved from the Washington Commanders. I say that because there’s no way in hell anyone with subpar vision would ever think that Carson Wentz was ever any good as a quarterback, much less better than Heinicke. Did you see the season he had with the Indianapolis Colts? Horrible. But for…
Why the New XFL 3.0 Will Thrive!
The XFL is BACK! It’s been 1,044 days since the XFL shut down due to a global pandemic. It’s been a long 3 years and it almost doesn’t feel real to be hours away from kickoff. I’ve always been a fan of more football especially when there isn’t any on, and advocated for spring leagues for years. I was a fan of the XFL the first time around because of what it could represent, something innovative, something fresh, something different while executing great play on the field, but the product didn’t have any good quality to match that promise. In recent years I’ve been a fan of both iterations of…
Ron Rivera Should Be Fired!
Ron Rivera will be addressed in just a second, but first allow me to premise this article with full disclosure, I’m a Kansas City Chiefs fan, born and raised, but I’ve been a Washington football fan for some time. Ron Rivera Rivera cost the Washington Commanders it’s football season. I’m not sure how or why any organization believes Carson Wentz is still a good quarterback, he just isn’t it. For several years now the Commanders have had their quarterback on their roster and have ignored him, that quarterback is Taylor Heinicke. Heinicke has consistently played well with the exception of a few bad throws but none egregiously bad as many…
The Kansas Jayhawks are the Best Story in College Football
The Kansas Jayhawks have been the laughing stock of college football the last 12 years. They were definitively the worst Power 5 college program in the country. In year two of Lance Leipold, the Jayhawks are one win away from becoming bowl eligible. The Jayhawks are currently 5-1, coming off a home loss to TCU. Their star QB Jalon Daniels went down with an injury, so why are the Jayhawks still the best story in college football. KU represents the hopes and dreams for every school that is not a traditional power. Non-power schools will have good years and bad years, some will have extended time in both categories. Kansas…
The Number 1 Problem with Russell Wilson
So, what’s wrong with Russell Wilson? The answer may be in what led the Seattle Seahawks to trade their former franchise Quarterback. Wilson was an MVP candidate in the first half of the 2020 season and he threw a career high 40 touchdowns. The Seahawks season ended in disappointment with Russell Wilson struggling the second half of the season, ending in a home playoff loss to an injured Los Angeles Rams team. Part of the issue with the Seahawks is that Russell Wilson and the Seattle coaching staff became frustrated with each other. Wilson’s ability to extend and generate big plays rivaled every other quarterback in the NFL. Russell Wilson…
3 NFL Head Coaches That Could Be Fired
The NFL season has just began, but it’s never to early to speculate on which Head Coach may get fired during this season. MATT RHULE – CAROLINA PANTHERS Matt Rhule was hired to replace Ron Rivera in 2020. Rhule had a challenging start to his NFL coaching career, which began during the 2020 COVID season. Carolina’s first move under Rhule was to sign veteran Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. Bridgewater only lasted one season with the Panthers before being traded. Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield were acquired via trade, but neither has looked effective under Rhule. Carolina has had five different starting Quarterbacks since Matt Rhule became coach of the Carolina Panthers.…
Previewing The 2022 Kansas City Chiefs Road to the Super Bowl
If you weren’t paying attention to the Kansas City Chiefs this off-season, they said goodbye to Tyrann Mathieu, Charvarius Ward, and a group of veteran offensive players. 2021 ended in disappointment as the Kansas City Chiefs blew a 21-3 lead in the AFC Championship game to the Cincinnati Bengals. In 2021, Mahomes and the offense had to completely change their game-plan, it didn’t click like it should have in the biggest moments, at least in the latter half of that specific AFC Championship game. The Road to the Super Bowl… Chiefs OFFENSE Patrick Mahomes enters the 2022 season looking for redemption, especially after a rough second half in the AFC…

Caitlyn Jenner Slams NCAA For Not Protecting ‘Women’s Sports’
Caitlyn Jenner, formerly Bruce Jenner, has once again come out defending the separation of women’s and men’s sports. The NCAA bylaws currently permit trans athletes to participate with their chosen gender as long as they have been off hormonal supplements for one year. The bylaws state that students “may not compete on a women’s team without changing it to a mixed team status until completing one year of testosterone suppression treatment,” according to the NCAA’s website. Jenner is an Olympic gold medalist and is considered by many one of the the greatest athletes in history. Caitlyn Jenner On Trans Sports Caitlyn Jenner appeared on Fox News yesterday discussing transgender swimmer Lia…
