    30 NFL players whose careers took off after leaving their first team (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Not every NFL player finds the right fit with the team that drafted or first signed him. Of the top 50 quarterbacks in career yards, just 12 played on one team their entire career. (Ironically, three of them played for the Dallas Cowboys, in Troy Aikman, Dak Prescott, and Tony Romo.) Some are cast aside too early, others escape dysfunctional situations, and a select few become stars (or even Hall of Famers) after getting a fresh start elsewhere. These 30 players made their first teams regret let

    One reason every NFL team can actually win the Super Bowl this season (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Going into the 2025 NFL season, the preseason Super Bowl odds had the Arizona Cardinals, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Washington Commanders, and Minnesota Vikings ahead of the eventual winners, the Seattle Seahawks. In fact, 18 teams had better odds than the Seahawks to lift the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the season. The New England Patriots, who represented the AFC in the Super Bowl, had even worse odds. This is all to say that our preseason notion rarely equals the results of the NFL season. There

    There are dozens of NBA players who have legacies that go far beyond their playing days. It's the reason the Basketball Hall of Fame exists. There's a market for our memories, and honoring greatness is something that means the world to us as fans. However, there are even more players whose legacies have been lost to the cruel fate of time. Some never received national attention, while others were overshadowed by bigger stars of their era. There are far more than 50 players who deserve another lo

    10 NFL records that could actually go down during the 2026 season (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Myles Garrett finally did it. After years of players trying to pass Michael Strahan and that pitter patter sack of Brett Favre in 2001. Twenty years later, T.J. Watt tied the record of 22.5 sacks, but it took until 2025 for Garrett to break through and hit 23 sacks. He broke the record, won Defensive Player of the Year, and got traded to the Los Angeles Rams. Now that he’s on an insane team that should force opposing teams to pass more, Garrett might break his own record this year (especially if

    Predicting the next 10 QBs to make the Hall of Fame, in order (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The NFL Hall of Fame sits in the small city of Canton, Ohio. Around 68,000 people call Canton home, but there is much more interest in the more than 380 golden busts that live in the museum that is the Hall of Fame. Of those players, coaches, and owners enshrined there, 26 are strictly quarterbacks, and another eight played quarterback and another position in the early years of the NFL. The 27th quarterback is making his way to Canton this year. Drew Brees was voted into the Hall in his first ye
