The Week 15 finale on Monday Night Football has the biggest NFC playoff ramifications of any game on the slate. The Philadelphia Eagles travel to Seattle to face the Seahawks in a game neither can afford to lose this late in the season. It’s pretty apropos of these teams closing out Week 15, seeing how it’s been as many years since the Eagles beat the Seahawks. With both teams coming off butt-kickings at the hands of divisional foes last week, this should be an epic showdown because so much is riding on the outcome. – Criss Partee Read More

I do not agree with Rashard Mendenhall, entirely. In my humble opinion, people of all races and ethnicities talk entirely too spicy about professional athletes. No professional is above criticism just because the critic is not one. However, regardless of whether someone can dunk at an open gym or begins to pant while walking three blocks from a parking spot, that person should discuss pro athletes without venomous language. – Stephen Knox Read More

Philadelphia’s newest defensive coordinator is off to a rough start.

The Eagles announced Matt Patricia would be calling defensive plays Sunday afternoon, under 36 hours before Monday night’s game against Seattle. Players were reportedly notified about the change early in the week, and Patricia led defensive meetings all week leading up to Monday’s game, according to ESPN. – Cale Clinton Read More

A Black coach was fired at the beginning of 2021. But instead of the team with the Offensive Rookie of the Year hiring the hottest offensive coordinator in the league, who was Black, they chose a white coach. After two and a half seasons, that white coach was fired because he was worse than the Black coach who preceded him. This is the story of the Los Angeles Chargers. This is also the plight of Black coaches in the NFL. – Carron J. Phillips Read More

Why are there so many penalties on offensive players showing up in the NFL as of late, and why do they all seemingly come at the most crucial times?

Last night, Jason Kelce’s false start effectively cost the Philadelphia Eagles the game against the Seattle Seahawks. – Mackenzie Meaney Read More

We have three Sundays left. Three more Sundays until that IV is ripped out of our arms and we are forced to trudge through the subsequent eight months not being able to start the week with at least 10 NFL games. With the holidays on the way to provide a bit of a distraction from that fate, let’s talk MVP while the NFL has your full and undivided attention. – Stephen Knox Read More

A social media post is one thing. The launching of an investigation is another. Florida A&M University received the former from Florida politicians after winning a college football national championship. Florida State University got the latter. – Carron J. Phillips Read More

Only Jets fans thought Aaron Rodgers was coming back

Yesterday, on The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers was soft-spoken and reserved as he attempted to say he’s not making the promised miracle comeback

Updated Dec. 21: Florida State University’s Board of Trustees will meet Friday, with the Seminoles’ conference affiliation as the meeting’s central focus. According to a report from Yahoo Sports, the school may seek a declaratory judgment action in an attempt to argue that it is not bound to its contract with the ACC. While the legal move would not serve as an official notice of departure to the ACC, it would potentially set the stage for other schools to challenge the conference and its grant of rights.” – Cale Clinton Read More
