We’ve reached that sweet spot of the year when football is getting intense, a new world series champion is being crowned, and basketball season is starting.

by rkmclaughlin

So here’s an arbitrary ranking of 32 teams based on how I feel and absolutely nothing scientific. #32. Arizona Cardinals – Putting Josh Rosen in the … Continue reading NFL Week 4 Power Rankings – A Leap of Faith

The 2018 NFL QB Rankings by the KWC Committee

by rkmclaughlin

It’s late July, and we’re bored. Bet you won’t fight about it. The Hall of Fame game is 10 days away, and with it comes the mediocre kick off to the NFL Pre-Season that we seem to get overhyped for every year despite growing bored with the game 4 minutes in. That’s all good. The … Continue reading The 2018 NFL QB Rankings by the KWC Committee

You’re All Hypocrites

by rkmclaughlin

You can please some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but if you’re the NFL, you can’t please anybody

It’s not just a modern day trend: the NFL has ALWAYS had a lot of bad QBs

by rkmclaughlin

Okay, so boom. NFL ratings are down. You know that, I know that, he/she/they know that. There are many who contribute this to the racial inequality protests, some who attribute it to the blackballing of Kaepernick and some who think it’s more of a quality problem, see above. To me, it’s a combination of all … Continue reading It’s not just a modern day trend: the NFL has ALWAYS had a lot of bad QBs

I’m torn on the NFL’s new “Crown of the Helmet” rule

by rkmclaughlin

Football is an inherently violent sport. We all know this, we understand this. Somewhere between the CTE comments on Twitter and how our reaction to big hits have changed over the last decade, we still know and understand that the sport itself is violent. We’re sitting in a strange place between knowingly watching people beat … Continue reading I’m torn on the NFL’s new “Crown of the Helmet” rule

NFL Divisional Round Preview and Staff Predictions

by rkmclaughlin

Wildcard Weekend wasn’t as mid as people wanted to make it, the only the Jaguars/Bills game was snoozable, and even then it was great if you liked defense and watching Nathan Peterman end the season the way Scott McDermott had been begging for (should’ve put Webb in). Panthers put up more of a fight than … Continue reading NFL Divisional Round Preview and Staff Predictions

Final NFL Regular Season Power Rankings – Breakup Songs Edition

by rkmclaughlin

The final week of the 2017 regular season ended exactly as it should have: with mass confusion and nothing making sense. It’s not all negative though: the Bills ended their longtime playoff drought thanks to Andy Dalton forgetting he was Andy Dalton and throwing a game winning Touchdown pass on 4th and 12. The Browns … Continue reading Final NFL Regular Season Power Rankings – Breakup Songs Edition

The front-runners for those spots are the … Continue reading Lombardi or Bust: Every remaining team’s path to Super Bowl 52

Yes, Virginia, This One’s Huge

by Ryne E. Hancock

According to our dear friend Daniel Webster, the word “rivalry” is derived from the Latin word rivallis. The word, first used almost 400 years before the Superdome was built, was a word used to describe bodies of water. Eventually, as time went on, the word evolved from being about water to a favorite word for … Continue reading Yes, Virginia, This One’s Huge

Which of the NFL’s Final Four teams has the best chance to hoist the Lombardi next month?

Previewing and Predicting Wildcard Weekend

by rkmclaughlin

This should be a relatively interesting postseason, at least for the NFC. The AFC really only features two teams with a chance to take down the Patriots, it’s their tournament to lose really. But there are still potentially entertaining matchups in the first round on that side of the coin.

Ya Grandma Look Like Kirk Franklin: Week 4 Power Rankings

by rkmclaughlin

“Yeah, once Monday Night Football is over, you can just go ahead and crank out some rankings! Just put the order together as you watch the games Sunday and have an idea of where you’d put the two MNF teams based on how they perform. Pretty simple. Even you can handle that!” I tell myself as I sit on my sofa completing contact cards from the various college fairs I attended that week.
